that doesn't have at least 20 annoying bubbles underneath it. I may just ditch the whole concept and take my chances with the scratches.
I'm going naked with the Droid X. It's built like a tank and the screen is Gorilla Glass.
Gorilla glass doesn't mean much from what other Android users are saying. I'm new to the Android world and I too was thinking nothing can scratch the screen, but I ain't taking chances.

I just got a Zagg invisible shield and I'm pretty unhappy with it. I paid the Best Buy Mobile guy to apply it (which wasn't cheap...). The protector doesn't have air bubbles, but some dust spots and a tiny piece of hair must have gotten under there. I plan on going back to complain, or I may possibly try to re-do it myself. The protector itself is alright, but its a little too glossy and kind of sticky to the touch. Definitely not worth the $21.
I'd definitely go back and complain; considering there is a lifetime warranty on shields, they better not charge you anything.
If you do decide to do it yourself (which is what everyone should really do to begin with) make sure they refund you the ridiculous charge for applying it the first time. I really don't know how BB gets away with it in the first place...
Is there any chance they'd give me a new shield in Best Buy? I'm not liking the fact that I have to pay $4 for shipping for a new shield, when they screwed it up in the first place...
Also, when they told me that they would apply the screen, they actually started the process (opened the box and got all the supplies out) then told me there was a charge for the service. $7.99, which is absolutely outrageous. I'm really pissed at BB right now.
Seriously this thing looks horrible. Now that the shield has dried completely, I am sure that there is something wrong with it-- not just the drying process. The dust spots are so distracting. There's 4 on the bottom half of the screen, and one very obvious one on the black edge.

Probably dust underneath. One speck can create a bubble. One thing I learned about shields (I've done many) is to take your time and be prepared. Keep a can of compressed air and cellophane tape next to you. The tape to pluck dust off the screen/back of shield (and to pull an edge up) and canned air to blow off dust right before you apply the shield. Right before I applied the Steinheil I noticed on the black screen, dust bits forming on the surface withing seconds of clearing it. So you got to work fast. Amazing what's floating in your air. If you are patient and prepared, you'll have a perfect shield with no bubbles.
