Great product!
This is the best full body protector I have purchased. I've used the iskin screen protector which was good, but made the screen quality look bad. I tried a few other clear and colored screen protectors, but by far this one exceeds them all. I've had it since December 2007 and it still appears flawless and fits into all of my cases. I am currently using the elan touch leather case, but alternate between my vaja i-volution and iskin touch. Granted it took me a few tries to position the protector right, but as long as you READ and FOLLOW the directions it's a piece of cake. Here's the simplified version:(You still have to read and follow them though.)
1. clean the surface area with a lint free cloth
2. apply the spray liquid that came with the shield to your FINGERS, so the shield does not stick to them.
3. apply the spray to the surface of the ipod, it needs to be fairly moist, NOT SOAKED, NOT A SNEEZE.
4. position the film on the ipod, if you need to reposition make sure your FINGERS are wet with the spray so the shield does not stick to them and keep the surface of the ipod moist as well.
5. use the squeegee to excrete the remaining liquid from between the ipod and the shield. DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE SMALLER BUBBLES! They dissipate when the sheild settles. (It also says this in the instructions.)
Take a look at my pictures. Remember it's been on since December and it still looks outstanding! The little scratches you see on the back of my iPod are on the iPod itself, not the shield. This product is great and you can hardly tell its there. JUST MAKE SURE TO KEEP THE SURFACE MOIST WHEN INSTALLING, LIKE TINTING CAR WINDOWS.
Nerd Gear
I bought this for my boyfriend, a self-professed anal nerd when it comes to his electronics, and he loves it. He bought the ipod touch several months ago and refused to take it out of the box because he didn't want a single scratch on it. This is a great way to prevent that while still retaining the sleek styling of the Touch. He said that application was difficult and took a long time because he couldn't tolerate the air bubbles (which will eventually work themselves out for the most part). He got it on and it looks awesome - a seamless protector for a cool gadget. It is holding up well too, keeping scratches from keys and other sharp objects away. He said the application time was worth the aggravation and gave it 2 thumbs up.
Could be better for what it cost.
For the price, the full body Invisible Shield is not worth it. It only protects your player or phone from scratches. I suggest purchasing the screen shield only, and then securing the body of your player with a hard case. I also think the company's advertising is misleading, when it comes to the claim of "full body" protection. In reality, you only receive two sheets of film. One for screen and the other for the rear body. Which, in my opinion is not "full body" protection. May they should claim "full scratch" protection. I think that description would be more accurate and sincere, for the "average consumer's" expectations.
Pros:
1. The screen shield (only) is easy to apply.
2. The screen shield does work as advertised, if applied correctly.
3. Once applied, the touch screen will still operate as before.
Cons:
1. Too pricey for (2) sheets of clear film.
2. Difficult to install on the rear body of player, especially when
installing around the corners and hard to reach areas.
3. Doesn't offer the same protection as a hard case, if dropped.
Recommend:
Yes. (screen shield only)
