Zagg Invisible Shield BACKORDERED - Page 3

Not once in my post did I say that Zagg was better. I said I liked it. The other poster already ordered one and was worried I was trying to show that it isn't as bad as all of the bashers say. I don't consider it inferior. It's different. Everybody has a favorite. Geez.

of course, a screen protector like the Brando blows away eith one of these setups. If you take a shot like that of a Brando Ultraclear, it will look like there is no protector at all installed..

True the Brando is just a different type of protector made from plastic with a PET coating. Brando, Boxwave, and Martin Fields are all similar types and crystal clear. The Zagg, PhantomSkinz, BodyGuardz are another type and made from a different material. Each have pros and cons. The Zagg types are made from urethane and are much more flexible and allow for a full body installation. The Brando type is more rigid and must be installed on a flat service like a screen. I wrote an article a while back about them here

I ordered min on Tuesday night the second I got the notification e-mail that it was available. I got a Zagg the first time with my Sprint TP and fell in love with the quality and protection. Until the picture posted above, I didn't understand what "Orange Peel" meant. Now I do, and understand that there is that type of quality to the protector. However (it is TOTALLY a matter of taste) I kind of like it because to me it means there is a thickness to the protector. It doesn't have any effect on the screen visibility either. But to me it feels thick and protected. I understand how some users don't like the "stickiness" of it either, but to me these are all qualities of good/strong protection. Maybe some of the others are better, but I have never tried them so can't speak about them. I was just impressed with Zagg and couldn't wait for them to release the Verizon version. They aren't cheap either, but when it comes to protecting your electronics, what's an extra 10$ to protect a 500$ device? They won me over with the TP, and released the TP2 protector quick enough (I though about trying another brand). I have some loyalty to them. I just wish there was a kiosk around that could do the install for me. Too much pressure for me

Not sure why the OP's order is backordered as I ordered mine yesterday afternoon and this evening it's displaying as shipped, so I don't know why mine would have shipped since I ordered later. I've never had a screen protector before, but I didn't feel it was needed on my 6700 as I didn't touch the screen a lot or take it anywhere it may get scratched, but with this phone, I feel like I'm going to use the screen a lot more and use the device more in general and would like the extra protection. If something does happen though, I have insurance and can get a replacement for the phone, and the protector has a warranty as well.

Here you go... (pics taken with my "OLD" TP1...lol)

this protector doesnt seem to has as much "orange-peel" as the one on my TP1. I wonder if it has to do with the way its installed.

Installed my Zagg tonight, too, and compared to my camera it does seem to be less "orange peel" as well.

How hard was it to install compared to the OEM and also has anyone put the full body one on? just wanted to know how hard this is to put on.
