Invisible Shield by Zagg Review (Provided by www.invisibleskinz.com)

Everyone who owns expensive devices is always looking for a way to protect them.  There is no shortage of cases, films and other protecting products out there, and each has its own benefits and downfalls.  When Invisible Skinz reached out to me to take a look at the Invisible Shield, I was happy take another look.  I say another, because I have used these products in the past, as I had one for my Motorola Q back in 2006.  At the time, I ended up having to send my phone back to Verizon, and forgot to remove the shield before sending.  Fortunately, I am able to take another look.

Installation/Thoughts

Installing the shield on your device takes about 30 minutes, but it’s worth the time.  The secret for Zagg is the shield spray that they include with the shields.  The formula interacts with the adhesive on the shield to make the installation process easier, and more effective.  The actual installation process is simple; peel off the shield from the paper backing, spray, apply and squeegee.  Each shield is created specifically for the device its sold for, so the longest part of the installation is getting each little piece lined up perfectly.  The result is full device coverage that looks incredibly professional.  Out of all the devices I have, I thought the iPhone 3G would be a great representation as a test device for the product.  The capacitive touch screen was my biggest concern, as I wondered if the screen would still be sensitive to my fingers.  Good news, there is no noticeable difference in user experience on the screen.

I’ve had the Invisible Shield on my iPhone for the past week and have been happy with the results.  The full body coverage gives me the peace of mind that I my phone is protected.  The texture of the shield gives it a “grippy” feel, which makes it less prone to being dropped, and overall is a very unobtrusive solution to keeping your device protected.

Invisible Skinz is an online reseller of the Invisible Shield product.  The iPhone 3G specific shield is available for $24.95.

About the Invisible Shield

ZAGG’s invisibleSHIELD™ is a thin polyurethane film originally created for the military to protect the leading edge of helicopter blades. What’s unique about this military-grade, patented film is how tough it is – it doesn’t scratch. What makes ZAGG’s exclusive invisibleSHIELD™ so strong, flexible and scratch-proof? Its Nano-Memory technology™. With this technology, it also allows it to curve and contour around an entire device (not just the screen) and adhere to the device unless you want to remove it (without leaving adhesive).

The invisibleSHIELD has been designed to protect over 2,500 handheld electronics, including the Apple iPod touch, the Apple iPhone 3G, the BlackBerry Curve and more.
