Best clear screen to protect my phone?

[Shunoo]

First post, have been lurking around here for awhile and just reading.

But, I've been looking at buying an invisbleSHIELD for my phone since I got a hairline scratch on my screen from god-knows-what.

Any suggestions on fixing the scratch? I went to a jewelers the other day and they said they couldn't buff it out because of the large surface.

Also, is this invisibleSHIELD brand the best one out there?

There's a whole thread on which is the best clear screen to protect the iPhone, just do a search on "invisibleSHIELD" A whole bunch of stuff will come up on it. It has pretty bad reviews compared to others, I ended up canceling my order after I seen it's reviews.

What did you end up getting?

I got the invisible shield and never looked back. It is the very best product out there and has a lifetime guarantee against not only tears but even scratches! NO OTHER one gives that.

I read some of the bad reviews and it was stuff that they "heard" or "read somewhere" or "someone told me" and the other was just misconceptions.

I have the Invisible Shield on every piece of electronics I own and have NEVER been sorry--also I have NEVER had a scratch on any of it!

Surely if the military uses it to protect their helicopter blades and it has a lifetime guarantee it is good enough for me.

I used the invisible shield and it worked well until I noticed that dust was migrating under it (there was no visible space once it was installed). Once I saw that happening I just said screw it and went naked. I still have a microfiber pouch that I put it in while I am not really using it, otherwise it is on my desk or in my pocket and, well, that is it.

wow--I've never seen that. On anything (and I have about 8 things with it on there). I'm going to have to pay closer attention to that.

It's the first time I've heard of it.

invisibleshields are good protectors but i do have a few concerns. they don't offer a replacement for installation mishaps (and rightly so) but once you put it on there and it dries, even part way, it's on there forever. unless you want to try your chances at stretching it out then putting it back on with a snakeskin effect in certain spots. also don't go too wild with whatever you're using to push the bubbles out from underneath it with, i snagged the shield once on a bubble in the middle of the screen and the stupid imperfection won't go away. it fits pretty good although i couldn't get the back to line up for the life of me so it's a little off center of the camera which looks kind of nasty, and the corners are a pain to get to stick. also, it's not really invisible, it's got a sort of rippled look to it. so i don't completely understand why they call it invisibleshield, when they should just call it clearshield. if you do order it watch the video on the site of the installation onto an ipod, sadly the video offers tips not mentioned in the actual instructions. there are a few lines running through the screen parallel with the headset speaker that are very visible when tilted back and forth (like a hologram). but all in all i'm satisfied with the protection i get from the back. that's why i ordered some regular screen protectors for the front which are reusable and washable (hopefully i can't mess those up) and invisible .

p.s. i don't know who else has this product but when i was installing the small pieces on to the top and bottom chrome sections they were obviously TOO SHORT for the part they were meant for which really pissed me off. i had to push the middles toward the front of the phone and the sides to the back just to keep the corners from coming above the side and onto the face of the phone. did this also happen to you or was mine defective?

I purchased the invisishield when I first got my iPhone and had it on for the past 6 weeks. I somehow got some scratches on it, probably from sand, as I work outside and it is constantly being pulled out of it's pouch with my dirty hands. Called Shield Zone and they are sending me a replacement. I aslo ordered 2 others for my wife and son plus one for my Macbook. I love the it and is the only one I would buy to protect my products.
Good luck on finding the right protection fo yours, hope this helps.

pkells1:
sounds like you may have gotten a bad one. I ordered two and neither of mine were anything like that.

btw, it doesn't go over the chrome bezel, it does not provide protection for that by design.

[pkells1]

are you sure you have two of them???? because mine came with seperate pieces that cover the top and bottom of the bezel while the back piece covers the sides of the bezel......
