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

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.

Best Screen Protector!

If you want an awesome screen protector that has the hardness feel of the bare screen then you want this one. It's 3 for 7 bucks and it feels so much better than all those expensive Invisible Sheilds and such. Those leave a crappy feel or funky haze after they dry. This thing is so bad ass I felt I needed to let everyone in on it. I've had for a couple of months now and no scratches. I also put one on my wifes evo. Enough here's the link.

Edit- Had to order more of these for a replacement phone and found out that the protectors advertised here and sold by Efforcity are the wrong ones. You have to click the part that shows ones that are sold by other companies and you have to get them from Bargain Cell. I just got mine in finally and Bargain Cell is the only company that sells them.

Thanks. I have a Zagg InvisableShield now and I do like it, but this is cheap enough to see if it is worth having. The great thing about Zagg's screen protectors is that they are lifetime warrantied so you only have to buy 1 per device. After that just pay shipping and you get a brand new one.

I've been using MobileXS Screen Guardian Mirrored HTC EVO screen protector for about 2 months now. Feels like glass, very slick and not stick at all.
When the screen is on its really clear and when the screen is off it's almost a perfect mirror. I bought two thinking it would scratch easily so far not a single scratch. Oh... and there washable and reusable. There a little more costly at 25$ a pop, but after two months and no scratches or wear I think its a good deal.

Martin Fields. They cost a fortune but is the absolute best.

I like the one that seidio sells had mines on for about 3 months still looks invisible.
Swyped from Eva my Mynion running Myn's RLS4.95!

I've used an Invisible Shield on the last three phones I've had.
As long as you get it put on properly, they last forever.
I usually shill out the few bucks to have the guy at best buy do it since if they screw it up, they have to put a new one on.

I got the one from the OP yesterday and put it on. I like the feel of it, but it is a fingerprint and finger oil magnet. It also doesn't cover the whole screen. There are small strips on each side longways that are not covered. I liked my Zagg InvisibleShield because it didn't attract this stuff and covered the whole screen. The only thing I didn't like about Invisible is the rubbery feel of it. Good thing they have a lifetime warranty. I got a new one on the way for only the cost of shipping.

There really aren't any instructions for this one, I just received mine today. Do you use any soapy water or anything? I;m going to install it in a steamy bathroom.

I am not familiar with that one. I had one of the SGP protectors and I liked it but it scratched too easily. I use the bodyguardz. It offers the same protection as the invisible shield but I like the feel of it better. They have a dry apply version available now. I have just ordered one of the wrap sol protectors. I will let you know how it compares.
Sent from this here Evo!

I use Reallook. I had one on my vibrant and now on my evo. They are pretty cheap on amazon. It covers the whole face and is unnoticeable. Also reusable, and easy to apply

I actually bought the screen protectors listed by OP.
It was nice because they actually sent me NINE screen protectors, hah. The texture and clarity is identical to the stock glass.

im about done with screen protectors in general. today at work i got a bit of paint over spray on my screen protector "phanton skinz" so i used a bit of alcohol & nail polish removed mixed with warm water to remove it and it totally jacked the protector up. i have this horrid film on it now and im pissed. these things are suppose to be indestructible. so like an ass i ordered one more just now and after that im done with them in general. next time ill but a dry application cheapy.
i wish they made the evo with gorilla glass and i wouldn't even bother.

I use Screenpatronus... good product, good price.

Accessories to get?

I'm going to be picking up a Thunderbolt tomorrow and would like to know what everyone thinks I should get in terms of accessories.
I was thinking about an extended battery, seeing as how it seems to make a difference, but aside from that I have no idea.
Suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

You might want a screen protector. I would get one online somewhere, not a cheap VZW one.
And, I assume you've done a bit of research on that battery so you know it's HUGE.

Yes, I realize it's XBAWKS HUEG. I'm also toying with the idea of a second battery, as I wouldn't mind swapping mid-day.
As for the screen protector, I was thinking about a SGP Ultra Crystal. Has one on my X and it was great.

I hear the Thunderbolt has Gorilla Glass on it. No need for a screen protector.

I just ordered the oleophobic too.

Never tried oleophoboc, but had sgp ultra fine and liked that fingerprints would not show but it was just way too cloudy and diminished the screen resolution too much. Since then I have switched back to ultra crystal with no regrets. Here is a shot of ultra fine and ultra crystal to show the difference between the two.

I hate my screen protectors from SGP. They're going back. I got them today and went to put them on but the very instant I pulled to protective back off dust started sticking to it. It was as if they were electrically charged. Dust I couldn't see in the air was all over the back of my screen protector. I tried both of them. I'm switching back to ZAGG. I like the install process of those better. And they will send you another if it get scratched or you get a replacement phone. Pretty sure SGP doesn't do that.
If anyone knows of a better screen protector (preferably wet installation) I'm open to suggestions.

Have you tried applying the SGP's in a bathroom with a hot shower running to control the dust?
Phantom Skinz are extremely good protectors that require a wet application. I use only them and SGP's. I would recommend them.

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 .
-XDA MODERATOR-

sdf
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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

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

living dangerously?

How many of you guys use your beloved OnePlus 3 without any form of protection? I mean without screen protectors or case or skin. I've been using my phone without any case or skin for past 5 months and with only default screen protector it came with. I'm thinking of removing it, so, was asking if it's a good idea to use without any screen protector
Update: I just want to say that I went for rhino shield crash guard. I've been using it for quite a while now, and so far it has really grown on me. It's not too big or bulky and offers good protection.

I did. I had my op3 since July and I never used cases or screen protectors. I did dropped it a couple of times, the aluminium developed some light scuffs, and on the display you could only see some fine scratches. In January my gf dropped it, and it shattered the glass. I got it repaired at one plus service centre, and they sent it back with a screen protector. Now I also ordered a pretty case, just in case... I don't want it to happen again. A really tough phone overall

I dropped my phone 6 f***** inches off the ground WITH a screen protector and no case. Shattered the glass accross the whole top of the phone. It all depends on what material and how it falls. This phone has 2.5d glass meaning the front glass protrudes a tiny bit and it curves to the edges. If you drop it on any sort of surface that is harder than glass like cement, asphalt or ceramic, it will shattered the screen if it lands on any corner where the glass touches first.
Now how the heck you can use this thing without a case blows my mind, I can not hold this phone without a case, it literally slips out of my hand.

Yeah, it's pretty slippery. But, the added bulk of case just didn't cut it. And I've this urge to look at the phone's design, appreciate it and show off (lol!) every now and then. And stories like this make me skeptical and vulnerable. I also haven't found a good case to go with it.

I'm fully naked and it s amazing . It s so slim and without screen protector is so much better. That screen protector is not even covering full screen..It makes the experience very unpleasant

Well i am a fan of skins , so that's what I've got with a silicone sleeve over that and my default screen protector that came with the phone , it would be my luck to remove the protector and a stone finds its way in my pocket ...

I have big amounts of love for this phone! Coming from a moto g play after smashing my opo it is a phenomenal upgrade and with the dbrand concrete skin its a sexy phone haha but the screen scratches way too easily for my liking and that's with me being careful but its fine/micro scratches that appear under certain light now it's not gonna make me not use it but I feel it could have been better.

I'm also a fan of skins. I've got a carbon fiber dbrand skin and also had my screen replaced by the one plus service center so I'm using the pre installed screen protector that came with the new screen. The dbrand skin really helps with grip. I just can't use a case the added bulk just ruins the experience of using the device for me. Don't know why I've always been like that with my devices. I hate cases. OCD I guess.

Living without screen protector/temper glass since last September. And oh boi is it durable: beach sand, 10+ drop to flood tile, washing in sink. No dink or scrape...the only micro scrape I got is trying the damn s-pen and it doesn't even work! I do use cases tho. Pic as reference.

Sorry pic doesnt work..someone tell me how to post pics...

Without any protection here. I dont mind if my phone got scratches or something. I use my phones so long that i couldnt sell them anyway when i stop using them cause its not worth anything any more.
So why should i hide my nice metal body phone and some plastic stuff? No, thx

Got a transparant case with a dbrand. Also a screen protector since I was getting allot of scratches..

i got only a case around the back. from time to time i saw a few deeper scratches on my screen. i took care all the time to not scratch my screen, but i still found some scratches. I removed them with polish for car windshields. They are completely gone now.
