InvisibleSHIELD

Just a heads up
I was in a local mall in New Hampshire, USA looking at cellphone cases for my vibrant at one of those kiosk and noticed two more booths was an Invisible-shield booth with demonstrations...ect
Long story short i picked up a full body InvisibleSHIELD for $25 and they installed for $5 bucks and did a great job.

many people have complaints with with invisible shield. the main problem is that it gets dirty easily

agreed

It does seem to have a slight sticky feel, I figured its because it takes 24-48 hours to fully cure
Is this how it gets dirty?
edit
never mind i see what you mean

Well ill see, if i dont like ill just remove.
Whats a better alternative if i decide to remove?

My invisible shield is clean all around basically... but I didn't know anything about zagg when I got it.

Zagg seems to be getting some bad reviews on this forum. I bought it the day I ordered my Vibrant and installed it the day I received it. Back looks awesome, and it is not nearly as slippery as the back cover alone. Front however.... zagg is slightly narrower than the screen, and it is bugging me. Also, it is far from invisible on the front, but I guess I will live with it rather than having my screen scratched. What really sucks is that the "full body cover" does NOT cover the corners nor the bezel, and we know what happens to these phones if you drop them.
I will have my case soon, as I planned - I put the zagg on so my phone does not get scratched with the particles that get under the case. Once I have the case on, I will feel a bit more comfortable handling the phone.

I had a BSE(bestskinsever.com) on my iPhone screen for 2+ years. I took the back skin off because of the "dirt" issues and because it didn't stay on the rounded edges very well. I just applied a skin to my Vibrant. As far as I know, BSE are identical to Zagg/Invisible Shield, but around 1/3 or 1/2 the cost. Some people don't like them, but it gives me peace of mind to know my screen is more protected.

I brought the T-Mobile case the first day I got my Vibrant. After two months I decided to get the Invisible Shield for the back. The phone itself is big enough already, I dont need any extra bulk feel too it. For the Screen Protector I'm using Realook which is alot better then Clearfreak I had at the beginning.
As someone posted, the Invisible Shield doesnt protect the Chrome or Edges around the phone.

My second day with it. Now tht its fully cured
The back feels great
The screen not to much. Its somewhat finger print resistant but at the same time playing FPS game like nova you fingers dont slide as good on screen and has kind of a rubbery feel.
How does Realook feel is it a harder surface?

Realook is hard and not sticky at all

Yea woke up this morning "day 3" and picked up phone and its not sticky anymore.
Im really liking this.
With the invisibleshield on the back the battery cover feels solid and gives the phone an overall solid feel to it.
Also the battery cover comes off easier now
I might remove screen protector though IDK. Im more worried about the plastic back cover scratching. The screen was more for reducing fingerprints than actual scratching , im mean its gorilla glass and all. I never had any issues with my N1.

Thanks for the heads up if i decide to remove the one on my screen now ill give that a shot

For the Screen Protector, get the Realook. It feels and look like nothing is there....

So i took off my front piece i hate it. Left the back piece because i like the way it feels and still protects back from scratches.
Got a realook SP just finished installing and yup its 10 times better than invisible shield SP like others said it doesn't feel really any different than it does without one on

Dang, shoulda bought Realook, it is soooo much cheaper than the one I bought. The brand I got is good (it's not a Zagg brand), and I have no complaints, but I paid 20 bucks a piece for them (I have two Vibrants, one for me and one for the wife )
You can get a 2 pack of these Realook Screen protectors from Amazon.com for 11 bucks shipped.....coulda saved myself 35 bucks

Learn from your mistakes.
I got zagg too. I'm not hating it but definitely would like to save some money...

Yeah, I also got the invisible shield but I just ordered the realook sp a couple days ago for the front.

Which screen protector to buy?

Should i buy one ? or the guerrilla screen doesn't need it ?
I bought some at eBay.. 5 for 2 USD.
They are just sucks.
Do i need to buy any special type of screen protectors?
Thanks.

I've tried a few screen protectors now and I hate them all. The Gorilla Glass seems to hold its own without one at all, plus it feels much smoother when scrolling on the screen. Just try not to have piles of keys or rocks in your phone pocket and you'll be fine. I've had mine since it launched in February and have had no issues so far.

Realook by far is the best one I have tried, and I have tried many. You gain security without any drawbacks. Don't knock it till you try it. Have had this protector on my phone for several months now and several small scratched have shown up on it. It's $5.50, plastic and takes a beating so my real screen doesn't have too. (Obvious point, no one scratches their phone screen on purpose, the point of a protector is not to protect your phone from normal daily use when you are being careful, but for the times when **** just happens and there was nothing you could do about it. That's when having these things are most important / useful).

I say get a screen protector and don't leave the gorilla glass naked. I babied my phone for a week before I got anything on it... then two scratches from god knows what. Gorilla glass will NOT hold up to minute particles of nothingness in your pocket so be aware.
I personally like the marquee splash screen protectors (I think that's the name) that are on amazon. Clear, feels like the normal screen, went on fine.
I tried ghost armor at first and I hated it.. it had orange peel and dented really easily. It seemed to shrink over time, too, which is weird..
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

Gorilla Glass is bull**** man. I took off my old screen protector because there was a minute imperfection in it and cleaned it with a brand new lint free cloth and now there are 3 tiny scratches in the glass. I mean with the new screen protector you can't really see it, but it's such bull****.

ZAGG Invisible Shield.
Lifetime warranty FTW!

I think i order BestSkinksEver total body skin.
I had bad experience with Zagg, i just don't like it.
Thank you all

I accidentally sat on my phone wearing jeans with rivets for about 15 minutes; no scratches. I still wouldn't put it in my pocket naked though. But no protector.

Just don't buy Matte one. It's total bull**** and screen looks terribly ugly with it

Do you have it installed on your Atrix? I installed on my son's iPod touch 17 months ago and it still hasn't peeled. Then I did my Dad's iPhone 4 8 months ago and the front is still looking great. Not sure why I didn't do my Atrix yet.
Edit: I added Moto ruggedized battery cover for minimalistic grip to phone. Really like it so far. In stock at cnn.cn.

Yes that's true, you can actually call it an OP magnet but we're talking about screen protector here and I dont think there's anything else that can protect your screen but the Invisible Shield by zagg.... I have speck casing on my atrix with the invisible shield for the screen and I accidentally dropped it like 3-4 feet high on its flatscreen and not even a scratch on the screen.... my co-worker bought an atrix too and with it he also got a speck casing and one of those screen protector from at&t store, couple of days later while we were talking about our atrices/atrixes he accidentally dropped it in front of me and when he picked it up the screen was cracked! He was mad as hell because he didnt listen to me... lol
I mean the stuff they show on their demos is for real, I've used invisible shield on each of my phone for so many years now and each of them were protected by invisible shield... yes the invisible shield is a orange peel/lint magnet but you can easily wipe them off, I guess for me I'd be more concern about the protection of my phone and not the OPs

I tried an extra Skinomi protector a friend had and it developed bubbles a couple weeks after installation. Then I got a SGP Steinheil Ultra Crystal and I'm extremely happy with it. My friends who also have Atrix couldn't even tell it had a protector on. Plus it isn't a wet install and takes just a couple of minutes to put on. It's the hard plastic type and very slightly drags more than the bare screen but it's hardly noticeable, especially in comparison to the soft plastic type like Skinomi.

i got zagg just because i got tired of the fingerprints that attract to the glass. before i got it though, the screen was exposed to some harsh conditions at my job, and did not scratch or anything; so it is a tough screen

Invisible shield's original screens were pretty bad op, but I've had one on my evo for nearly a year now and it's just as good as the day I installed it.
They have a new formula that is SUPPOSED to be less op, but it's only for the iPhone right now

ZAGG Invisible Shield (mini-review)

Just thought I would share. I picked up a ZAGG Invisible Shield for the Galaxy Nexus today at BestBuy. As usual, its top notch. Very well cut. Reaches to all edges, not too hard to install (mind you, I have a lot of experience with them, and have gotten pretty good lol)
(sorry its stupidly hard to take pictures.. and uhh I used my Nexus One to take them lol) BUT just as the pictures show.. it really is invisible and hard to notice.

The shield covers the FFC and sensors at the top right? Hmm. My invishield for my last phone was cut around those..

I hate ZAGG. They look good for about a week then they start collecting lint around the edges and it also stretches out of place.

+1 on the powerskin.
is there a "invisi skin" for the body?
i'm more interested in putting a invisible shield type protection for the body.
as for the front, i've used armorsuit and they have less orange peel effect.
without a suitable "powersupport" type i probably would just use the wet skin, but not for this phone. resolution and screen is too damn sexy.

How's the feel of it? I never liked the rubbery feeling of ZAGG protectors... made swiping motions on the screen a chore. Has it changed from their previous material or is it the same?

+1 for Best Skins Ever, their stuff is super cheap and works amazingly well with minimal orange peel and not as grippy as the Zagg. I've tried them all; Zagg, GhostArmor, Skinomi, SGP, but as far as the wet film install types, Best Skins Ever is definitely my favorite.

I concur, and the orange peel bothers me. Never using them again.
The cover itself is very good though for those who aren't OCD like me.

I like Zagg. I'd rather have a thick film that actually protects from cuts and scratches than a thinner one that looks nicer.
The only time the zagg shield are hard to use is the summer time when it's humid outside. Makes swiping hard.

Well, I finally installed ZAGG on my GN. The outline cut looks good, and was so easy to apply to. It does feel strong. It doesn't feel rubberish actually, and when you look at the reflection, its kinda looks slightly bumpy (though can't see any air bubbles). On screen, it kinda looks like there is a smear of water/oily look -- but then again, I only just put it on 10 minutes ago!
It does say that micro air bubbles will eventually come out over the next couple of days, so will see how it goes.

I love mine. Ordered mine on CyberMonday from Zagg along with my full body for my 2011 11'' MacBook Air. Due to issues with customs I received my shield prior to getting my phone so before I even booted the phone up it had its protector on. I put Zagg on all my devices that take it.

I had the Zagg on my Vibrant and i now have one on the Nexus. The one on the Vibrant had annoying orange peel but this one seems better. Im good at installing them though. One thing that really annoys me now though is they watermark the shield in the lower right corner with "ZAGG". But you are right about power support. Thats all i buy for my wifes iphones. She hates the Zagg anyway LOL.

This is a strange question, but do you still have the packaging for the screen? I wanna know what the UPC number is so I can see if any local stores around me have this bad boy

Good quality AND cheap screen protector

Could anyone recommend a screen protector that's good quality, easy to apply, and fairly cheap? My family had 3 Sii phones, and I want to have some backups also, so some in the $1 to $3 a pop would be ideal.
I bought these but they are total junk, impossible to put on with out bubbles an has a red/green hue on it.
PS: I am not a cheapo, but for out EVO 4gs I bought 6 for $5 and they were great, so I am hoping the same type exist for this phone.

good things in life dont come cheap

An LCD film in good quality does, I am sure. If they existed for the EVO, then I am sure they do for the Epic 4g.
But in most cases, I know you get what you pay for. Just hoping someone else got a cheap one and could share.

This are great and are made from the same material as zaggs invisible shield. This one is full body but they also have screen only for 99¢ each I believe. I bought them for my evo 3d but I don't like the cut out on the epic touch.

Thank you for the replies!!

Check out phantomskinz.com or xtremeguard on ebay. Phantomskinz sells 2 for 10 bucks and xtremeguard can be had for 3.50 on ebay. I like both of these better than the Zagg products. Zagg is to thick IMO. If you look closely at the details, Zagg and Xtremeguard share the same city and address. Maybe the same company with two different products. I did the wet install that you will see on phantomskinz website. Works perfectly.

I got 6 on ebay for $1.88. The first one I put on had an extremely cheap feeling, scratched very easily, and had the rainbow color.
You know when you apply these protectors, there is the first layer you remove to expose the "sticky" side and then there is the actual screen protector layer, followed by another outside protector layer to be removed?
When I got my replacement e4gt, I did not remove the outside "protective" 2nd covering and it's so much better, so you end up having two layers on your phone. The rainbow colors are virtually gone and it has a much higher quality feel, but it still scratches fairly easily. I've had it on for about a month now and it still feels great. If the top layer gets too scratched up, I can still remove it and keep the single cheap layer on it.
As for bubbles, try this method...

Thanks for the links, the youtube video method seems like a good solution!
When you leave the 2nd layer one, doesn't that one have that little sticker that says "2" on it with a little description? I could never take that little label off without leaving any glue.

I use zagg and am very happy with it. Between that and my ballistics case I feel pretty safe. Its very funny to watch the look on someone's face when you hand them your phone and drop it.

It is a bit tricky because it will want to lift the bottom layer as well just becareful when removing it. You can rub off the glue residue and wipe off any smudges after.

Thanks for this thread I picked up several of those XtremeGuard protectors off ebay for a buck and change each. Currently using Greatshield (3 for $7 on amazon) and its a step above the cheap ones but it gathers fingerprints like crazy.

I use these, and they work well. Don't know what's up with the reviews about getting the wrong size...mine fit perfectly.

I got some cheap ones off of Amazon for my EVO and they worked great, but I couldn't find the same ones for the E4GT so I bought a 5 pack of some other cheap ones and they were total crap. I tried all 5 of them and couldn't get them on without air bubbles and the edges wouldn't even stick down all the way, so I just threw them in the trash.
Then I bought a pack of Steinheils (2 for $13 on Amazon) and they are the best screen protector I've ever used, period. Both the wife and I have E4GTs and I put them on both. They both went on flawlessly on the first try and other than the FFC cutout, you can't even tell it's there. Well worth spending few extra bucks IMO.

Since bestbuy applies screen protector with liquid (water) and sprint is expensive, I decided to try alternative source. Got 5 protectors for about $5 on ebay and supprised how good they are. Easy to install and after 4 months still holds and looks like day 1.

Your opinion on Zagg screen protectors?

So a couple of days ago in the Do you over protect? thread, I was very blasé about not using any type of screen protection and I thought I might be inviting fate so I quickly scrabbled to the Zagg Nexus page as I've heard very positive reviews about them. I paid my €24.99, sat back for a couple of days and it arrived today...
First impressions were of utter disappointment, right off the bat it feels cheap, you can't run your hands over it smoothly as it generates too much friction. Secondly I noticed that there was a huge 'L' shaped defect on the front of it.

On closer inspection I saw a score along the bottom of it as well.
I didn't fit it to the phone, obviously, and have since contacted Zagg for a full refund. I can appreciate this is a manufacturing defect but for €25 I was expecting something really special. It doesn't even look like it'll be 100% invisible as it claims, it's very bumpy.
Needless to say I won't be buying from Zagg again. I've been over to ProtectionFilms24 and bought the Vikuiti screen protector for the Nexus which is an amazing screen protector. I've had one on my HD2 and it was robust, removable and was wipe clean on both sides so you could reapply any time you wanted.
Am I being too hard on Zagg, or are they really as good as people say? I must say I can't remember the last time I opened an accessory and was so disappointed. I can't understand how people say they are so good.

it's pretty known that zagg has an orange peel feel. it actually works really well as i have one on my phone if you dont mind the orange peel feel.
looks like the L shape is just a defect and can happen to pretty much any protector.

I've used Zagg on basically all my phones. You have to give it several days to lose that 'sticky' feel, and then it is very smooth, IMO.
I recently had my Galaxy Nexus in a sports armband and the plastic stuck to the Zagg and caused an air bubble. Because of this, I removed it and much prefer the phone with no screen protector at all.

Is the colour saturation affected by the Zagg? They look and feel so 'cheap' I'm almost inclined to think so.

Odd... I had a Zagg on my Incredible for 1.5 years and it never lost the tacky feeling...or the odd semi-ripples. And it wasn't a poor install as the Zagg rep at the stand did it, and a different one said it was normal. :-/
To be fair... it did a nice job keeping it safe.
*brohoof*

No they don't seem to affect the colors on the screen. I've had one installed on several different phones and they never had the sticky feeling go away. But they do protect the screen very well.
I just installed an XOSkin protector to my Gnex and I like it a lot better than the Zagg ones.

I bought the zagg full body protector i only used the body protector and get rid of the screen protector within minutes.. truth be told a 5$ matte screen protector will look and feel better than a 25$ zagg screen protector on your screen ( just saying my opinion thou) and trust me it is a 100 times easier to install..mainly if u have no previous experience with it..

I always though their screen protector sucked. Better off with the eBay ones at least they feel smooth. And some are really clear.

+1 on the XOSKin. I wasn't sure either when my wife and I got our new Nexii, so I put a Zagg on hers right away because they had them at Best Buy, and she's clumsy and I didn't want to wait. For comparison sake, I ordered an XOSkin for mine and waited patiently for it to arrive.
I can't even tell the XOSkin is on mine, but her Zagg is so obvious with the excessive orange peel, and the way it doesn't cover the entire face of the phone causes dust and crud to build up around the edges near the front camera/earpiece. It just looks super tacky. I've asked her multiple times if I can buy her an XOSkin to replace the Zagg, but she doesn't seem to mind it.

Well Zagg have a 45 day no quibble returns policy, I emailed them earlier I'm just waiting on a reply it's defective so hopefully it'll be hassel free getting my Pennies back. I'll stick with what I know, the 3M Vikuiti it's a fantastic protector.

I got this orange crap effect with Zagg too, hated it.
Getting an XO Skins screen protector instead, they advertise no orange peel which everyone says is true.

I've always used Zagg screen protectors. They're far from "invisible" (soon to hopefully be fixed with the expansion of their new Zagg HD line.)
They do suffer slightly from a slight tacky feeling. The best way I've found to fix that is regularly (once a day or so.) wipe your screen down with a phone wipe. Preferably a high percentage Isopropyl Alch. wipe. After a week or so the tack feeling is completely gone and the protector is still just un-scratchable as it's ever been.
I've never had any issues at all. Granted I put them on all day long for my customers (US Cellular Rep). I've gotten very skilled at application of these suckers.

Horrible, horrible things. Resistive to touch and the orange peel effect distorts the screen slightly. I had one on my HTC Sensation and took it off within days.

Terrible
When I first bought my htc desire I ordered the zagg screen protector, it looked horrible and there is so much friction that it just doesn't feel natural at all.
It was also far from invisible... so no I don't think you were being too harsh on Zagg!

Hate it
I am active so I like to use an armband with my phone. The screen protector sticks to the clear plastic of ANY armband...which pretty much destroys the screen protector and the armband. It is a problem that Zagg knows of, but they haven't bothered to come up with a solution.
I have used other screen protectors that do not suffer this problem with my armbands.

Zagg works well if installed correctly. Just blows if you get lint or dust under it. When installing .

almost bought the zagg. thankfully i read this post before

I would rather stick a piece for tyre to screen than have to use Zagg again

I haven't used a zagg on my gnex but I have tried it on other devices and installed on a couple of friends devices.
In my opinion the shields for the back is ok if you want a little extra grip and for that very reason I will never use one for my screen again. To sticky for my taste.

My opinion on Zagg shield is that they are difficult to put on the screen (atleast for me) but once it is on there pure magic! after you give it a week to settle in, and it loses that sticky orange peel feeling it is great! and your phone just feels safer
