Jst TONIGHT I was putting it on and I have to say I am not very pleased.

First with the back of the droid being 'rubberish' i dont know if it makes sense to put it on.

Second, this is my first device with the super slick (scratch resistant) screen. Ipods, iphones, pervious winmo phones didnt have this. Putting the zagg shield on it seems a shame since it does add the orange peel effect. On top of that, the screen itself is so crisp and clear, it seems a shame to mar it in ANY way.

So, currently, I do have the zagg shield installed on the back of my phone, not the edges, not the screen. I like that it wont get scratched when I put it on a table. I had installed the front screen shield but removed it almost asap. I did have a piece of 'something' under it, but moreso, there were too many bubbles. and yes I know that it takes time to cure.

I dont really have a point, just sharing my experience. I am gonna try the phantom skin i think, just for the screen. I still have a zagg shield left so I figure its worth trying something new.
I agree with every sentiment here including not liking Zagg for the screen , Phantom Skinz are great for the screen, and I opted for the screen only on this device because I dont see the rubberized back needing anything more.

Not sure I like the prospect of leaving my phone off for even a few hours.... it's kinda become surgically attached to my hand, lol....
I ALWAYS cut the tab and use that film until my 'real' protector gets here lol.

Leaving it turned off for 24-48 hours is not an option for me the same as you. The best you can do is apply it right before bed and let it sit overnight. then you wake up to a shiny protected baby and can touch it all you want
