Got mine yesterday. Went to their site to watch the application video and it didn't explain what the "solution" was to spray on your fingers and the shield. I e-mailed the company asking for the secret recipe but haven't heard from them. I'm wondering if I'll even bother putting it on.

Got mine.
Complete and absolute garbage. Shipped in a business sized envelope. I ordered two sets and they were melted together from the heat. Couldn't get them apart without destroying them.
Into the garbage they went.
You get what you pay for.

A friend of mine bought the full kit for his Incredible.

It seems that their knife on their CNC is dull or mis-adjusted because his was not cut all the way through the material on the screen side and on the back side it just barely scored the material. The body protection was un-usable.

On the plus side, the fit was good. The bad is that the material used is very grippy, kind of like the feel of the Zagg material only it's about 1/4 the thickness / protection. It is literally paper thin.

I still plan on installing the guard on my TP2 and Mom's Evo. If she doesn't like it I'll have her have the Invisible shield guy in the mall do up her phone and warranty it.

...

You're right. I pulled mine out of the trash and had to use a pair of scissors on them at the score marks. If they hadn't been damaged in shipment I wouldn't have been able to use them anyway.

Ordered 2 Zaggs a little bit ago.

i just got mine today it looks ok. Now im just wondering if i should use my Zagg application solution or what. What did you guys use?

Shawnz · Aug 30, 2010

I had extras from my Ghost Armor. The Invisible Shield stuff should be fine.

Good to know. I'm not even going to try to install mine. I think I'll sell it.

Shawnz · Aug 31, 2010

Wow. I've seen 6 sets from this deal and half were unusable due to not being fully cut. I'd look elsewhere for this type of protection.

I got mine in the mail yesterday and like so many of the other posters said, they were a little beat up and sort of stuck together. I think I'll just use them for a practice application so that when my PhantomSkinz white carbon fiber skin comes, I won't screw it up!

I threw mine in the trash and ordered some Zaggs.
They aren't here yet and hopefully they are much better.

I had a little bottle from a Zagg protection kit for my wife's phone. It was nearly empty, so I emptied it out and put about half of a drop of dishwashing liquid (Dawn to be precise) and filled it with water. This worked quite well. The screen protector went on just fine and looks great except for one small part where I left a piece of lint, but that was my fault. The back part works and looks just fine as well. The only thing that I don't care for is the protection for the sides. They don't really cover everything, but I have most of the vital corners/edges covered. It isn't great, but I don't think it is that bad either.

I did have trouble getting the precut pieces separated, but if you take a needle and poke right at the seam, it will get you started and they will separate just fine.

It isn't the greatest thing ever, but I don't regret my $2.50 one bit. The back and sides will be staying on for a while.

I still haven't tried mine yet... I have a zagg for the screen. I really only wanted the stealth guards for the back and sides... and of course for the camera lens

The back is the only part i found worth putting on. The screen part was crap and the sides dont protect all of the edges.

So the consensus is...

STEALTH GUARDS SUCK

/Thread :cool:

kmoon89 · Sep 5, 2010

Yeah...Total crap. Mine were only partially cut through, and I had to dig at the sides of most of the cutouts, which resulted in scrunched up, dusty corners. It's still on my phone, and it looks super shiny and ugly, but I'm too lazy to even peel it off. I have a full case on it that covers everything, so it'll just be some extra protection under that.

Got mine today.

I took off my Zagg Invisishield because it had gotten a bubble (or something weird in it, dust maybe?)

Tried to install the Stealth Guard but it came with no solution. I just used regular water.

It wasn't cut through all of the way like everyone else's and I had to RIP it off causing the whole thing to get stuck together. I unballed it and applied it. Forget about WHOLE BODY protection, I was lucky to salvage the front screen protector.

It looked like crap after a couple of hours, I'm guessing from all of the extra sticky stuff when it balled up on itself. I could tell it wasn't just water.

I just ordered a Ghost Armor since the orange peel effect of the Zagg was annoying me. I'll probably just pay the $7 to have Best Buy apply it so I can avoid the nightmare.

Regardless I am without any kind of screen protection for 3-5 days, gotta be extra careful.

Still waiting on mine, ordered 2 weeks ago, still processing

Yith · Sep 13, 2010

Well I got mine yesterday, it was in a plain envelope like others said but they weren't stuck together.. and actually the front/back fit perfects and I just used some water to apply and today it's very nice and gives a nice grip to the phone and the screen doesn't instantly pick up and smear oil from your fingers like just the glass will do. The only trouble I had was figuring out where the side pieces went I think I got them all about right but not perfect.
Great skin so far. Especially at the price.
