invisibleSHIELD avaiable yet?

Does anyone know if the ZAGG invisibleSHIELD is available yet? I haven't been able to find it anywhere.
Is anyone else waiting for it to come out (or already have one)? I haven't used them before, but I thought I should (especially since I just paid $700+ for this phone ).

No but I bought a skinomi and they have a similar product with a great warranty.

They are actually available from Car Phone Warehouse from today.... But its only the front piece not the whole device!!!

Yeah, I'm more worried about the back of the device (since I'm not sure how durable the plastic is).

Don't that s2 on the product page look different looks very square I just ordered one I think that was a old pic of the s2 before it was released leaked photoshop pics

I will let you know but I am worried about the carbon fibre backing and the design of the batter cover.

I will follow to see how it go's , i think the backside is too rough, for it too stick.

I ordered skinomi (full body) clear back, from Amazon. It said "in stock" and to expect delivery between May 12-14.
On another note I ordered EZguardz screen protectors from Amazon. 5 for $2.00 with free shipping. They came in yesterday in a regular envelope from USPS. They look to be the same "urethane" material as zagg, bodyguardz, skinomi, etc. Instructions give two installation techniques, one with water and the other dry.
I cant wait for the bodyguardz version. The full body kit comes with 2 sets of backs and fronts. Best bang for the dollar and they are high quality.

Let's hope the skin has the correct dimensions.

I went away this weekend and my phone felt naked without a case and screen protector. I was so scared I'd damage it. Anyway, before I went away I emailed Zagg to ask if they did a shield for the S2.
While I was away I popped into CPW and they said they did have some Zagg shields, but had sold out.
When I got back I had an email from Zagg saying they didn't yet make a shield for the S2. Most confusing.

mate, would you mind advising me the best one from skinomi (or one you bought and satisfied)

I bought a Case-mate Gelli case from CPW shop yesterday. They also had the Zagg InvisibleShield in stock.
P.S. I have a Zagg InvisibleShield on my iPad, and the surface is a bit orange peely. Is it the same material on smaller devices?
P.P.S The Case-mate case came with a screen protector too, but it was completely wrong (looked like it was for a Galaxy S). The Gelli case is a good fit though.

Zagg just released their invisibleSHIELD. Can`t post the link to their page because of my few messages, go check their page.

Zagg Invisible Shield now available at ebay and their website. the front part, next to microphone seem not well designed, it's been cut like curve shape. Not happy with Zagg design but more better quality protector out there other than Zagg.

TPU case from Verizon

I picked up a perfect TPU case at Verizon for my Xoom Wifi. Just letting you know if you aren't looking for the book style. It was unbranded so I have no clue who makes it. Its thick and fits like a glove. The color matches up perfectly. Its like a tinted smoke. Also comes with a screen protector. It's not great but works. Doesn't cover the entire glass. Just the screen.
It's really glossy and grippy. Smooth and doesn't attract lint. Looks great and doesn't detract from the sleekness of the xoom.
Its not on their site. I just walked into my local Verizon and asked to see all their xoom cases. Got sick of buying cases from the web to receive them and find that they suck.

looks realy nice! how much was it? I have the black silicon case from verizon and I dont really like it as much lol

It was more than I expected, 35 bucks with tax I think, but the fact is that it's really nice. Words to describe this case are: Rigid, smooth, grippy, classy.
those black silicon cases are no good. They are all floppy and collect lint. TPU cases are where it's at.
The guys working at the Verizon store I went too were pretty lame. I asked if they had xoom cases. One dude said no, then another guy said yes and sends mr. no over to this cabinet. They weren't on display at all. He opens the cabinet and I had to tell him which one was made for the xoom. He didn't even know what a xoom was. It was wierd. At any rate, they had a folding book style, then this TPU case.
Since I had no luck buying them from Amazon, even after reading good reviews I went on a mission to find one locally. This is the only case I'll ever need for this thing.

Oh wow thats quite a bit. I hear you on TPU being better. I have a case like the one you have for the xoom but its for my thunderbolt. I dont use the silicon xoom case as much now. I been using the folio case with the built in stand from verizon. Great combo with the xoom keyboard when you need a stand.
But I like your TPU case more lol. Good find!

They sell the same cases on amazon and Walmart for around fifteen (stupid xoom won't let me put numbers ...or backspace).

That's not really descriptive. When you buy from amazon, it's not always amazon. There are tons of sellers and such. You could have bought it from a bad seller. Not all are the same. Like ebay.

I bought it from the same company in your amazon links. It's ok, but the one I got from Verizon is better. And they are definitely NOT the same thing like you mentioned above.

ebay TPU case I bought from a US seller for $7 fits like a glove. Same TPU case i have on my EVO.

Just got my case today and it's awesome. Just as good of a quality as a $25 or more case. Combined with my invisible shield, I'm good to go. Here's some pics of the front and back. My camera had a bit of trouble focusing on it. As I was trying to keep myself out of the pic.

i-Blason Candygel Hybrid TPU [Mini-Review]

I got the i-Blason over the weekend and when I came into the office, I had a package waiting for me. It was the case that is kinda confusing to clarify because it's mixed in with other cases on Amazon. To clarify what I wanted, I went straight to the horses mouth and ordered it directly from i-Blason for $7.99USD+shipping.
http://www.i-blason.com/candygel-hybrid-tpu-hard-clear-case-for-google-nexus-5.html
The case, which is tpu is much more malleable/softer than the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. Also the i-Blason is very tpu-ish on it's lip unlike the Spigen UH, where the Spigen is ultra stiff.
When unpackaging the Candygel tpu, I also noticed that the case "looked" smaller than the Spigen UH. And when I was about to put it on, I said to myself, this doesn't look like it's going to fit! LOL. Glad I was wrong.
The case fit like a bodyglove. LOL I mean the case lip is very flexible and forgiving. And keep in mind I have a Spigen screen protector as well so I had to make sure that didn't come up. And thankfully, it did not. :good:
I have been using it and playing with it for a while and I have to say it's a pretty good case! The buttons are there, allbeit, covered, but the buttons now have feedback, compared to the Spigen UH. The volume buttons are also fine as well.
The ONLY fault I can find thus far is that on the bottom of the case has a scuff mark that was most likely done from the molding process, which I can forgive. It doesn't hinder the use of the case, it isn't sharp or uncomfortable because of it. I can even see it, but I know it's there. And I know I'll forget about it on day to day usage. The cut outs on the speaker aren't the best, but it's tpu and again, it isn't horrible, but I can notice it lol. The mic holes are perfectly exposed and just to note, the micro sim tray are covered. The clear back is why I got it. I can sport my dbrand white CF as well, where the other options before were the Spigen UH and Ringke fusion.
For the price, I can recommend this. and plays well with the Spigen screen protector thus far. The TPU makes the phone more form fitting and seems a tad smaller in holding it in my hands.
Anyways, here are some pics...enjoy! Oh and feel free to ask any questions or if you want pics at different angle and stuff like that.

How much bulk does this case add, in terms of height and width and also the thickness of the phone? I've been looking for a slim case to use with my dbrand skin as well, and I've been eyeing this one up.

It's thinner compared to the spigen ultra hybrid if that helps. It's like a tpu case thickness. Meaning not very thick.

its really looking much better than the spigen ultra hybrid....quite impressive one with the look wise....I would say that would be going to be a nice choice to go for.....

Does the clear back attracts fingers smudges and oil? I have a crystal Spigen ultra fit and I hate that about it.

I want to say it's actually a bit better than the Spigen UH when it comes to the fingerprint magnet. But saying that, you have to take into account that I have a WHITE cf. That makes the fingerprints invisible and barely visible. But if you hold it at an angle, I can see some, but not as bad as the Spigen UH.

I just ordered a clone on ebay that looks to be exactly the same for $6 shipped from china. I went with ebay one cause there's no branding on it!!

Well you will eventually get scrathes. I have a white backing on my phone so you cannot see them at all. But looking at it without the phone in it, yes you can see scratches.

I have this. Got it from a different seller. I actually ordered 2 for my phones. One of them is perfect. No issues, looks invisible once it's applied. The other has the same defect as the original batch or Spigen Glas.tR. Where it has a bubble in the lower right hand corner.
I contacted the seller and I'm awaiting a replacement.
Overall it's very nice, way smoother than any plastic PET film. The oleophobic coating isn't as good as the one on the GG3. It's more like the film on original GG (Takes a few more wipes on your pant leg to get rid of the finger prints). Overall for $7 I paid for mine I'm happy with it.
Should come with alcohol prep pad and lint free cloth. Instructions keep referencing Glas.tR. Its not a clone of the Glas.tR since it has cut outs for the camera and sensors.

[Q] Spigen Cases

So, I initially was not going to rock a case (I haven't used cases or screen protectors in years). However, after dropping my LG G3 just right a few weeks ago and cracking the screen (I have since fixed it), etc. and because I made the mistake and ordered a black leather H815 international unit on Amazon instead of the white ceramic one I wanted...I need to get a case.
I may end up buying a white ceramic back on EBay for $70 later on.
However, regardless of my phones cover, I am interested in the Spigen cases. Especially the Ultra Hybrid...is it super smooth or is it somewhat grippy? Will the phone be slick in my hand?
I'm also looking at the Thin Fit case.

My only comment with Spigen is NEVER buy anything you may make a warranty claim on from anywhere but Spigen or their Amazon store. They are very much counterfeited. I bought a Silm Armor for my S4 when it had been out less than 2 weeks and got a fake. And yes there is a huge difference in quality. Even if you do get a legit one from somewhere else all warranty claims will have to be handled through that somewhere else.

LOL the thing is when I ordered mine for my S4 the counterfeits were in the market before the authentic ones! It's amazing how fast the fakes can be made likely from stolen images of prototypes.

I highly recommend their cases and have used them for my Samsung S4, LG G2, LG G3, and will soon get one for my LG G4. I buy them on Amazon. They are the real deal (as long as you don't get them off the marketplace) with full warranty and their a bit cheaper than spigen's site.

I had a a NEO-Hybrid case for my GS4 break at the charging port not long after I bought it. I bought it directly from Spigen. Despite that, and having the receipt, they still would not honor the warranty. I ended up buying a knockoff from eBay that's held up to this day. I'll never buy Spigen again.

That's weird. I was upset that they sent me the Korean G3 case with the hole for the antenna (which was not listed on the amazon site). I wasn't happy with that since the hole only applies to the Korean version (small marketshare compared to the world). They sent me the regular version sans hole for free and didn't even ask me to return the original. I've never had any problems with their customer service. I'm very big on customer service and I'll leave you in a minute if I get poor service from a company.

I just got the slim "case", more like a back cover. It will protect against scratches, but not drops.

I tried that one for the G3 last year. I wanted more protection, but liked the slimness.

I got the slim armor as well as the neo hybrid for my g4 both cases are great

To those who have spigen cases, do you have a G4 with leather or plastic backs? I'm trying to figure out which Spigen cases are compatible with the leather back covers.

Hmm interesting that you mention that. I have the same response with my Ringke Fusion case. The only thing I worry about it is that there's not a lot of space for heat to travel, so the phone gets a little warm.

FedEx just dropped off my Verus case that is supposed to be leather compatible. I guess we will see.

I have the gold slim armor its little to slim for me at the moment i have a poetic revolution on ( http://www.poeticcases.com/revolution-38), this is a beast of a case probably capable of being used as a weapon in the event of the zombie apocalypse and your phone would not feel it
