Review of the Invisible Gadget Guard | Screen Protector Shield for HTC Aria
Better then the one from at&t...
Size
...still just a little too big. The need to take a millimeter off the top. Also, the hole for the track button is a little to big... or I could have just stretched it while applying, but I'll get to that. Otherwise I am happy with the fit of the protector.
Application
Be afraid. If placing a near dripping wet "vinyl" sheet on your phone doesn't sound like a good idea, then this protector is not for you. This application method dose provide with a wide margin of error, if your like me and fail at applying screen protectors 50% of the time. The downside to this is as the protector will bend and wrinkle making smooth application difficult. Application tip: take the back off your aria and place the phone on a washcloth. That will allow the water that is forced out to run away from the phone and be caught by the washcloth.
Look
After application your display will appear off for a few min, but as the water evaporates, that will go away. The next day the display will be fairly clear, and not much worse then the hard plastic sticker screen protector. In my case the protector was not quite smooth, but that could be my 5 failed application attempts. While this is slightly annoying, is not a major issue.
Overall
This is not a bad screen protector, but has quirks that you may not like. It is better then the default at&t protector, but as new "hard" protectors come on the market, it will fall to you confidence and personal likes and dislikes as to if you choose this protector.
I tried this and totally ruined it. It looked like crap when it was on, with lots of gray areas, and the bubbles wouldn't all come out.
I tossed it in the trash and just chocked it up to more money wasted, because I read on the web that they will fight you tooth and nail if you try to get a refund.
When I did it I had that problem, but I pulled it off before it stuck, added more water and tried again. It really did take like 5 tries to more or less correctly apply the stupid thing.
Just installed mine. It seems a bit cloudy. I didn't think application was difficult, but the necessary use of water is unnerving. Hopefully it clears up as it dries.

Just got mine in the mail and applied it today. A bit difficult but it's pretty good. Just got that cloudiness like others have mentioned. I'm guessing these are fine,tiny bubbles. I read in a few places the cloudiness will take sometime to dry up (about a week to cure completely). Apparently this material is tough stuff and if the cloudiness disappears, it'll all be worth it xD
Hope it clears up. Keep us posted. Still trying to decide which screen protector to buy.
Great review. You almost have to install these things in a clean room with robotic surgical devices to get them perfect.
I ended up going to bestbuy the other day and getting a zagg for an incredible. It was just a smidge bigger but came out damn near perfect. It is almost the exact size in width and the speaker is perfect, but the bottom is just about a 1/2 too long, so I had to trim and use a hole punch. Super disappointed in zag for not releasing the right cover. Jessica from zagg tells me that they have a cover the they are not releasing it yet and have no release date in sight. grrrrrr. I know the hd mini zagg is supposed be a good fit to, but bb did not stock that cover.
A few days on, and the cloudiness persists...anyone seeing any improvement?

That's interesting, given that it's on their web site and I didn't see anything that said it was not yet available. Of course, they might tell you that AFTER they take your money. But I could just be cynical.
Post Script: I've got the Invisible Gadget Guard, and it's ok. What's perfectly applied is fantastic. But there are some places where it looks like there are small air bubbles underneath. Reapplying simply changed the pattern. They were originally annoying but, 2 days later, are decidedly less so. However, positioning is a pain.

A quick check in here.
I purchased mine on Ebay from a seller called jusage. I paid a cool $7.67 for the Invisible Gadget Guard film PLUS car charger (generic 12v cigarette lighter adapter to micro-USB), and FREE shipping. A pretty good deal, in my view.
Unlike Zagg's, the kit includes neither a vial of "Apple sauce", nor a swath of chamois, not a squeegee. But I installed Zagg's films many time before and am quite comfortable with just a sauce of water (with one 1 tiny drop of dishsoap), a credit card, and a microfiber towel.
The fit is ideal. All cutouts are perfect. The film went on without any issues. After having dried overnight, the film is invisible now.
Same here I got the Gadget guard from ebay with the charger.. Only took 5 mins and let it dry good to go. And the charger is not a to much of a POS!!

9 days since I first installed, and all the cloudiness is gone...in fact, I had forgotten about it all week, and actually thought of it this morning and had to look for edges to see if it was even on there! Patience is key, but I have to say after a week, you can't even tell I have it on there.
Fit = perfect, no bubbles, no cloudiness...
Definitely giving the Gadget Guard 5 stars...highly recommend.

Ditto. I put mine on about a week ago. Application was easy. It is certainly not "invisible" as I can still tell it's there. The cloudiness is gone, it did take a while. There are no air bubbles like you would see with cheap protectors. It was easy to install, I ordered it from amazon and paid a few bucks more than most people, but I'm happy with it. Now, if only my amzer argyle case would ship...
I put the invisible gadget guard on about a week ago, I wouldn't say I'm having issues with cloudiness, as much as little pin sized dots all over the place, in clumps (which could be the so called "cloudiness"). its definitely not air bubbles as air bubbles would be bigger. Its causing a little pixel distortion on a plain white screen.
As I said, it has been almost a week and no real improvement.could anyone tell me if this is the same issue they are having or had? Or when these god forsaken dots will go away?!?
This was the first experience I've ever had with invisible gadget guard. I have however, applied three invisible shields (on other devices) with no such issue.
Thanks in advance for any input!

Overall I like it. Cloudiness disappeared but there's like two specks of dust under the guard. Just as long as it does the job, I'm not complaining.
Got the free car charger too. Hehe
I also purchased the Aria protector combo (screen + back + car charger) from jusage on eBay. Best-offered him $12 shipped which he promptly accepted. I ordered it the same day I ordered my phone from AT&T, hoping it would arrive at the same time or before the phone did. The phone arrive first, 2 days before the Gadget Guard.
Having read and viewed the installation instructions and video online (I was also sketchy about the water application), I decided to keep my phone untouched in the box until the protectors arrived. When they did, I washed my hands thoroughly before opening the box and removing the plastic from the phone. I washed my hands again before beginning the install of the protectors.
The fit of the film for the screen is dead-on. The fit for the back is okay, with cut-outs for the camera and htc logo. Make no mistake, due to the rubberized material, it's tricky to install the back film. I decided not to use water on the back (did on the screen though) because I wasn't sure the rubber wouldn't absorb the water or allow it to dry once the film was applied. I was meticulous with the application, using a credit card to slowly ease on the film from top to bottom before using a microfiber cloth (microfiber = no lint) to wrap the edges. When all was said and done, it looked pretty good. I had to peel back and re-install one edge of the screen to get rid of a pesky air bubble, but the back was pretty solid on my first try.
The next day, one of the top edges was peeling back. I pressed it back down and it re-adhered itself, but about 20 minutes later, it began peeling again...just enough to catch some lint. I tried 3 more times to clean it with water and reapply, but each time it would peel up. Finally I decided to just cut it off.
Today, two days later, the opposite corner started to peel up.
I emailed jusage through eBay and explained the situation to him. He replied the same day, apologizing for the trouble and saying he was sending me a replacement back film at no cost.
I'll update when I've received the replacement back film, but overall, I like this product. You can't beat the combo deal of a front and back protector film AND a car charger, all for $12 or less shipped to your door.
Pretty cheap, and if you need to replace one, you're not out much

Normally one of the first screen protectors on ebay after a phones release. Im not of fan of wet installation screen protectors. You get what you pay for. Mines barely lasted a week.
I've used those Invisible Shields for a LONG time. I'm a big fan, but not for touch screen devices. They're good for the sides and the back and such, but I don't care for them for the feeling they have when you try to slide your finger over the "glass." Strange. Regardless, if you DO like them, I'd highly recommend Zagg Invisible Shield. They're over priced but they've never let me down yet.
i don't get it guys? how is that the screen protectors fall off your phone? if you install it properly without any bubbles last even 1 year.unless gets too many scratch on it and i wanna put on a new one.never happend to me.and i always buy cheap ones.like 10 pieces for 3 pounds!
cheers!
Bad. Real bad stuff. They are kinda stuffy. Soft. More like thin layer of rubber. Can barely be used for touch screen, without having touchy fingers.
I bought them for my Samsung Focus and they aren't really good for the screen. For the sides and back, this case might be ordered.

They have sold over 300 of them. I guess if they are as crappy as you say, I will say so in my feedback.
I bought one. Was actually just looking for a dry screen protector. Didn't realize it was similar to a zagg shield until I opened it up.
If you follow the directions it only takes a few minutes to apply.
I don't like the rubbery feel...but for 2 bucks it works. Just a side note...if you use the s pen you can see the markings on the screen protector. I'll be on the lookout for a cheap replacement because that is a little annoying.
^^^
Did I not tell ya That thing is good enough for everything but the screen.
I just got one partly due to prices, mainly per delivery time-fastest. I didn't know it was a wet installation and with the feedbacks i am apprehensive on using it. Any problems peeling it off the screen and did it leave unremovable streak marks for those that have used it?
No problems with the removal or leftout marks. At least give it a try.
There is no REAL issue with it, and if it's properly installed it will last a while. I don't use any additional cases and all the in-out action of my pocket usually takes off the screen protector, sides, or back within 2-3 weeks.
It has sold over 300 of them because they're so cheap. People will say "for two bucks, I'll give it a try" and even I was about to buy one until I realized that it's a zagg pretty much. Gimme a TPU / Hard shell case any day and those e-cell screen guards and I'm good.
any screen guard which dosent get scratched with s-pen?
Have one on my note, got ripped off cause I have bought it on the official website for five bucks. Personally, the rubber skin feels right, I have the same on all my other devices : touchpad, sgs 1, sgs 2, transformer, etc...
But with Note it is just impossible to make it last longer than a month with the s pen : I drew like 2 minutes and there already is several deep scratches in the rubber layer, very annoying and it messes the vision of the screen.
So for the note it's a no go imho, I'll invest in a dry protection I guess...

Just got mine today. They are thick and seem durable, but you simply cannot use the stylus on it effectively. That must be why they're $1.99
Yeah it is annoying the indentations caused by the stylus, but at least it is offering me protection while I wait for my long term solution to arrive by mail
I bought one of those $1.99 screen protectors for my note, had it on for 5 minutes then promptly ripped it off and threw it away. The S-pen leaves trails and I was hoping it would be clearer than the matte finish protector I received with the phone but it was just as fuzzy or rainbowish. Waiting on an Ultra Optic now and will accept it even if its not as clear as I want.
I just got a zagg glass screen protector put on at Verizon today. I like it. It's got adhesive only around the edges so I think it leaves a bit of air under the glass? But I haven't had any touch issues. It works really well.
I had a Spigen neoflex one before that cost about 4 bucks per protector on Amazon ( orange peel wet app) and they were only ok for that type of screen protector.
One thing to note is, I'm not sure if the Verizon rep that put it on the phone for me cleaned the screen well enough because there seems to be a small grease bubble right on the keyboard. It doesn't bother me much because it didn't affect anything yet, but might get in the way while watching videos.
Oh this thing was 37.50 after my discount. But if it breaks zagg replaces it for as long as I own this phone. So that's good.
Nice, ZAGG warranty is top notch.
I got mine today also. My nerves kicked in as I purchased it because what I read about curve screen tempered glass protectors. I like it so far and no case problems. Feels alittle loose or sense of some gap from glass to phone but you get used to it. So far nice!
It collects dust around the edges and it definitely has one piece of dust under it which I'm hesitant to use the adhesive dust stickers to remove because it's curve glass
But, nothing that isn't normal for pretty much all screen protectors. Worth the protection, and warranty
I purchased this also a week ago when I got my 8+. I was worried about it after all the ones I tried on my S7 that failed. However this one is nice, been on a week with no issues of lifting off. Works well with the Tech 21 case I got also.
Guy at my local spark store just put one on for me. No problems with touch sensitivity so far. We shall see how it holds up over time.
Any updates on this screen protector?

Bottom corner started lifting after a day. Now I have a bunch of dust and some hair trapped under there. Glue is too weak. Don't waste your money.
Yea the glue is kind of weak and it's prone to dust buildup....
However because of this I found it's easily removable by sliding your fingernail under one long end and then just lift it. I kept the easy applicator and so I can (carefully) clean it under soapy water and dry it.
Don't bother to dry with any type of paper towel though as the lint will stick to the adhesive.
Probably going to reach out to zagg about a warranty or some kind of solution so I don't have to keep removing and cleaning it. But overall better than other screen protectors so far
Also another detail, this protector has no problem with the spigen neo hybrid
Well I got the Zagg screen protector also on the day I got my S8+. I have had the phone almost 3 weeks now. I had the phone less than a week before I had issues with the screen protector. I use Samsung's fast wireless charging stand to charge my phone overnight while I am asleep. I woke up and found that the screen protector completely came off of my phone overnight. I know that Zagg has an excellent warranty etc but what should I do? What I'm trying to avoid is a long line of replacements at $5 shipping per replacement for the same thing to keep going on. I watched the rep in the store thoroughly clean my phone and did an excellent job of applying it for it to have been anything that he did wrong. Any suggestions??? Is this an ongoing issue?

Just a little update on this, I have had to take the Glass Curve Protector off 3 times so far to get dust out from between it and the phone screen and due to that I have a replacement coming. It does come off and go back on nicely, still sticks good but has dust particles again. Also the glue around the edges is looking awful dusty and ugly. I am getting the Zagg Sapphire Defense Curve as the replacement and going to give it a try.
Yes update . Ok sorta bad news . About two weeks ( had it on for a month ) I dropped my phone and screen protector popped off. No damage but did get little dirty . Pushed it back on .Stayed on pretty good ... Until last night . Dropped my phone on the ground again in the dark,no damage again . Woke up,at work and realized my screen protector was gone. Who knows where it is right now (on the floor by my bed ) but I'm buying a different protector after work . Not tempared !
I've have my 2XL since October 21. I've had ZAGG glass curve on it since nearly day one. I've just cracked my third one. None of the times I've cracked it I've dropped it. Both times I've pulled it out of my pocked and noticed a chip in the middle on the side and it spiders out from there over the next few days. I've had glass protectors on my last couple of phones (S4, Moto X Pure) and never had issues with either of them cracking. Sure I replaced due to wear over time, but never because they broke.
I'm not sending Zagg another $10 for a new one. So I'm wondering how the factory glass holds up. Can I just go naked? Is it just the crappy edge only adhesive on the zagg curve? Looking for other peoples experiences and willing to listen to any advice others may have. I'm going to be pissed scratching up the factory screen and I really don't think I can go back to a "film" type protector.

I've had mine as long as you have. Screen still looks fine without any scratches that I can see. Granted, I take care of my phone, but I don't exactly baby it either. It's been dropped more than a few times, and wound up in my pocket with car keys, and still no bad scratches that I can see. I think if your an average user, and don't work in a construction zone, you'll be fine without a protector :good:

I'd say don't risk it I had my phone since January got Google's screen protector loved it finger prints and smudges where non existent until just a couple weeks ago when I also dropped my phone on the ground and it landed facedown on a rock only the screen protector broke
So I bought a zagg even though a few bad reviews all saying screen breaks too easy I have had this one for a week so far and accedently step on my phone trying to get into the shower did not break my screen so far I'm having no issues except smudges already on day one.

I have given up on screen protectors for this device.
The only ones that cover the entire device are made from plastic/rubber (aka liquid skin) lol. These make no sense, they offer no actual protection to the screen and they feel like crap and look just as bad on the device.
Than you have the tempered glass protectors. You have the option of partial screen coverage, which also ruins the aesthetics of the curved glass. Or you can get the "full coverage" option that claims to have "3d, curved glass". This is by far the worst option available. These manufactures of this garbage even go as far to list serious flaws of their design as selling points in their descriptions. The most glaring examples being, "with Dot Matrix" and "updated adhesive" This is so ridiculous, the "updated adhesive" is just horrible glue that they use on the top and bottom edges of the protector and the "dot matrix" is a full coverage of spaced out semi clear dots that are sold as being added for extra touch sensitivity, when in reality the dots are only added because the screen protector is not actually curved glass, it is flat glass connected to a top and bottom edge made of black plastic. The curved plastic edges are black for one, if they were actually glass that means they painted or tinted the top and bottom edges for no reason other than to have wasted money. And because there are 3 pieces to the protector, with the top and bottom responsible for adhering the protector to the screen, the "dot matrix" is needed because the middle piece is not actually mated to the screen. Any quality screen protector claiming to be tempered glass, does not need a dot matrix and is fully adhered to the screen with a clear silicone adhesive.
in conclusion, the pixel 2 xl has corning gorilla glass 5, this is the best glass currently available on the market. So being as none of the protectors available actually protect against cracked or broken displays, there is no need to waste your time with a screen protector. the only thing that the horrible protectors actually offer is scratch resistance, so unless you keep your phone in your pocket with coins all the time don't bother wasting your time or money on a screen protector.
Had mine without a screen protector since launch, and my screen has noticable scratches, etc.
Don't risk it. Whitestone is pricey $50. But feels like regular screen and removes the worry about damaging this great investment.

+1 on Whitestone
I've had mine since 10/24/2018 and no issues. I haven't ever used screen protectors. I tried on a phone several years ago but after like 3 attempts and still not being able to get it on without air bubbles I gave up. Although, I do have a bumper case that gives it a gap to protect from drops. Between that and the Gorilla Glass I've never had an issue. Plus, if I do have an issue I have the Pixel protect plan to take care of that.
Hey all. Quick question here. I bought an S9+ without any contracts or anythign cash. I was due for an upgrade so I figured I would splurge. When I bought the phone I picked up an otterbox and a glass screen cover. I spent good money on the glass and I literally applied it right after I unboxed the phone, gave the screen a quick spray with the included solution and cleaned it up to perfection. The glass itself was annoying due to the loss in sensitivity. I set up the higher sensitivity in the phone, but I still had sensitivity issues when I noticed the glass protector was separating from the screen. Very annoying and one day I just yanked it off due to constant typing errors from inputs not registering. So I went online to Amazon and I picked up a Spigen wallet case so I could protect my screen in my pocket while not bothering with annoying screen protectors.
After a few short weeks, I noticed my phone had scuffs from the stitching on the case. I cant believe how fragile this screen is considering it was just a soft material scuffing it up so bad.
Anyhow, it's not a MAJOR issue because I do not notice them when the screen is on, but it certainly looks shady and will affect resale if I want to sell my phone. Any thoughts on buffing out the very small micro scratches?! Im nervous to take a magic eraser to the screen, but I have some at home and am tempted to test that out. Im almost curious if Samsung would warrant that, but I highly doubt it since it was an aftermarket case.
Looking for opinions. I am attaching a link to my Amazon review where I took a picture to show. Im not sure how to attach in here due to lack of file storage. Thanks for any advice.

I have carried my phones in my pocket for years and never had a scratched glass. I don't put anything like keys in the same pocket but that's why I wear jeans, shorts, and slacks with 2 pockets. ?

So many people say they do this And never get scratches, yet every phone I've had had ended up with micro scratches. I'm the same add you and never place my phone in a pocket with anything else...

Never had any scratches on any of mine either, but might depend where in the world you are, certain types of dust/sand that have a high Mohs scale value could scratch gorilla glass, possible your region has those where ours don't, or at least not commonly
First few days I get a new phone I carefully clean it with a proper screen cloth, a week later I'm wiping it on pretty much anything soft I am close to

Caring your phone in your pocket is not safe if you are in dusty environment. One speck of sand dust can scratch your screen. The case probably picked up some particles. The stitching can not scratch the glass, neither can keys, coins, knives etc. Only things that are harder than glass like quartz. Even a speck of quartz dust can scratch your screen. You have to keep dust, dirt, and sand away from your screen or it will get scratched.
