Rating: - To Protect Against Scratches there is no better product - Too bad there aren't more stars it would get a 10
I purchased an invisible shield for my LG Dare, IPod Classic, 30GB and 120GB and for the screen of my Canon XTI SLR Camera. The shields are a bit tricky to install if you go with the full body type but very much worth the price. I was initially looking for something to protect my LG Dare screen and had purchased one of the cut it yourself shields which scratched too. When I got this product I installed it a little crooked and after a while it started peeling. I contacted Zagg.[...] from whom I purchased it and they replaced it free. There is a lifetime warranty so if it ever tears, scratches, peels etc. they replace it for a $[...] fee, which I assume is about what it costs them. The trick to installing it correctly is to be patient and line things up (especially holes made for speakers and protrusions. This is the key to success. I put one on each of my iPods and my camera and that was a snap. As has been said by others this won't protect your device from dropping or other physical abuse but it will absolutely protect it from scratching. If all you want to do is prevent a screen from being scratched them just buy that kit. Most have a choice of just the scree or the whole body. One last thing - There is a difference in the size of a 30GB and 120 GB iPod shield.
Rating: - Great product, but read the directions and be patient!
I have the invisibleSHIELD film on three items so far - a 60GB 5G iPod Video, an iPod Touch, and a 15" MacBook Pro (the full-coverage kit). It works so well that I'm going to be putting it on my wife's laptop, cellphone and iPod in the next month.
The installation isn't as hard as you may have heard, as long as you're careful. I think part of the reason is that the included instructions are better than they once were, and the application solution is now included, rather than you having to mix up your own. I never viewed the online installation video, so I can't comment on it.
You don't have to have access to a level-100 clean room to do the installation, but don't try to do it while sitting on the beach on a windy day, either. Clean your hands and the electronic device first, and use LOTS of the supplied fluid, on both your fingertips and on both sides of the film - the more the better, because it makes it easier to reposition the film to get it just where you want it, and the wetter the film, the fewer bubbles you'll have to get out. Any small bubbles trapped under the film will disappear within a week, anyway. Save any leftover fluid, because after you've used this film once, you'll probably buy more for your other devices, and it's always better to have extra fluid on hand.
The film does have a slight texture to it that you can see if you hold it up to the light just right, and it's a little "grabby" compared to the smooth glass or polycarbonate face of the iPod, Touch, or iPhone, but it doesn't interfere with the touch screen or click wheel, and you'll quickly get used to the new feel. I did leave the film off of my Macbook Pro's touchpad for now, although I saved it in case I change my mind later and decide to put it on.
Once you have the film on and you've given it a few days for any bubbles/hazing to disappear, the final results are amazing. Unless you're looking for it, the film is practically impossible to see from more than a few feet away, and virtually nothing will scratch or damage it. I like it so much that I'm going through their website to see what other gadgets I have that they make shields for.
Rating: - Best prodcut for Ipod
I have an 80GB video Ipod, and this shield is absolutely phenomenal.
Don't let the other reviews fool you. There is a lack of spray, but it was enough for me to get it all on. I used a few extra sprays of the solution on every piece of the product. (I screwed up the back side, and had to respray using up the last of my spray). It took me about 20-30 minutes to install it.
I wish I had gotten it prior to my Ipod getting scratches on it because it looks phenomenal now. I keyed it on the back side, and I could not penetrate the shield. If you didn't know better (and you install properly), you would not even know there is a shield on it.
I recommend this to anyone who is willing to go through the hassle there is to install it because it is worth it.
Rating: - Don't throw away your receipt!
Product looks as if it would work well. HOWEVER, I ran into problems during installation and needed replacement parts. They were quite helpful initially with email but when I had to phone customer service they would not help unless I had the original sales receipt. So I now have a partially installed shield on the front of my iPod, with one corner sticking up,and a back without installation fluid with which to instal it. I can be treated badly for free; why should I pay for the priveledge? I'd probably give the product 5 stars if I could install it but feel generous with the 2 stars considering their customer service policy.
