Accessories Screen Protector / Invisible Shield?

[jazztalker]

What's the "wet" method?

The Zagg one, for example, comes with this little bottle of solution that you spray on the screen and then put the shield on. It helps you be able to adjust it a bit after you put it down. I had to screw around with mine just a bit, but once I got it on, there were no bubbles at all.

Huh, didn't know there was such a thing as "wet method" screen protectors... I love me some market research! Checked out Phantom Skinz, BodyGuardz, watched a video of a botched SGP Steinheil installation (YouTube - iPhone 3g SGP Anti Figerprint Screen Protector Review/Install)AND checked out "Amzer

Has anyone actually received their invisaShield? I think they put it up on the website, but it too was actually a preorder. Mine hasn't shipped and I ordered it Sunday night.

Same for me. Ordered mine Monday morning, it's still listed as: In Process

Hope we didn't just pre-order it.....

I just ordered my PhantomSkins, I couldn't wait for Steinheil.

I have used Invisibleshield, Body Guardz, and Ghost Armor. The Invisible shield is the worst IMO. It has a rubbery feel when u swipe over it and in direct light u can see the "orange peel" look to it. Body Guardz I got 2 screen protectors in the box and it was much better than Invisibleshield. GhostArmor was my favorite. It took a few days for all the tiny air bubbles to disappear, but you couldnt even tell it was on the phone and it felt like the original glass. I think im gonna go without one at first but if i decide to buy one i am going to get the GhostArmor.

I ordered my Invisibleshield this morning. Hopefully, I get it before my phone.

For those of you who have used anti-glare screen protectors, are they helpful when using the phone outdoors in sunlight? I have a screen protector on my BlackBerry, but it's definitely not anti-glare...

Thanks!

So from what I see on this thread, the SGP protector is the one MOST people prefer. Plus they have to styles (anti-fingerprint and crystal clear). Am I wrong on this?

 

[turbohonda85]

Does any one know if there are some protectors already in the works

 

[Life2PointOhh]

Embrace subtlety.

This is totally false, the steinheil come 2 to a package with included anti lint cloth and squeegee.

Embrace subtlety.

huh?

 

[Ender11]

so phantom screen vs zagg is phantom nonsticky and clear

yes...crystal clear and feels like glass!

Yea, but it appears to just be the size of the screen, I want one that covers the whole face.

where did you hear that? they haven't even released the product yet.. they usually cover the whole face on touch devices. although, can't be totally sure until it launches.

I'd love to get something similar to the anti-glare one's that are available for the iPhone. Those are fantastic.

Not always. I got an anti-glare screen protector made by Power Support for my iPhone (got it at the Apple Store back when they were still allowed to sell screen protectors), and while it worked great for anti-glare and let my finger slide over it great, it made the screen look grainy. Got the same companies crystal-clear protector, and it is much better. Finger still glides pretty good over it, dry static application (can be taken off easily and even be recleaned).

 

[jbdan]

Thanks for that video on the comparo of crystal and anti smudge....I'm getting the antismudge/glare one when available. Cheers!

 

[crspyjohn]

i want to order the zagg but will it get to me before the 29th?

Generally they do give you a better view of a screen in the sunlight - I've got one on my Panasonic LX3 (camera) at the advice of many people on the DPR Panasonic forum (search for "boxwave" @ DPR panasonic). It made the screen much more usable in direct sunlight (which is important for that camera given it's lack of an optical viewfinder).

Personally I'm getting either a Boxwave, or something similar (SGP) anti-glare protector as I use my phone outdoors a lot.

Does anyone have experience with just the screen protectors from Verizon? I was thinking of buying the 3-pack on the day I get the phone and slapping them on until something "better" comes along (ie SPG).
Are the Verizon ones just covering the screen or the whole front face top to bottom with the optical joystick circle cutout? You can't tell from the pic on Verizon's website.
Thanks...

Another vote for ZAGG's InvisibleShield here. I had it on my 1st generation iPod Touch (sorry, it was before I met Mr.Incredible) ... for a few years now...going to the pool, tossing it into my pool bag with the keys and all kinda stuff....and nothing happened to it. It's def. worth a couple of more bucks.

Just ordered 2 of them for my Droid Incredible.

Great! Thanks! I'll probably purchase an anti-glare protector then. It gets sunny in SoCal.

Dont order from zagg, i ordered on the 19th so i could get it early for my phone, now customer service is telling me that they wont ship it until the 29th when the phone is actually released, then 10 business days later ill get it. ZAGG SUCKS!!!! will never buy from them again.

yes, ive been hearing rumors ZAGG jumped the gun to secure all these orders ahead of competitors (ala SGP, boxwave.. who say they will be available at launch). smart move on their part but definitely a little sheisty if you ask me... they should have a clear msg when ordering when they would actually ship / be available.

F Zagg...
