I'd like to know if the capacitive touch is affected at all. I love that feature, and I'm hesitant to protect the screen or the bottom keypad.

FYI: Zagg.com has a 30% site-wide sale until January.

Re: InvisibleShield vs Bodyguardz

Does anyone know if the bodyguardz will fit with the seidio holster???? Because the sprint protective case is actually imho screwing with my slide when i wanna take it off it's hell on wheels and i feel like i'm going to break the slide mechanism. I want this combo bodyguardz & seidio b/c when i drink i tend to drop my phone and i had a mogul with a seidio holster and loved it so if anyone has this combo let me know if the phone will fit into the holster.

My full body Invisible Shiled arrived Friday evening, after I had already left for work. :( It took at least 2 weeks to arrive from the time I placed my order and my card was charged. I think they need to streamline their ordering process. If it wasn't quite ready for shipping, they should have waited to place it on their website or showed it as "out of stock."

As soon as I came home Saturday morning, I put it on my TP. As others have stated, there are many pieces, but no instructions as to where the individual pieces go. This another area that needs improvement. If they don't provide you with a CAD drawing showing you where the pieces go, you should be able to access that info though their website. After trial fitting all the pieces, I thoroughly cleaned the phone with a lint free terry cloth. I carefully peeled each piece and was generous with the spray. Once I had squeegied all the water out, it still looked like there was spray/air bubbles under the screen piece. But after several hours of letting the phone sit, everything smoothed out just fine.

My only complaint is that it is too tacky for my taste. While the sides are fine, I feel that the screen part is too tacky for TF3D, even with the screen sensitivity set to 200 via the registry edit. Since I don't use the styllus too often, the tackiness of the screen pieces prevents smooth sliding for TF3D. I ended up removing both pieces from the front of the phone and installed the stock screen protector for now.

I order the full coverage protectors from both Body Guardz and Ghost Armor to compare them with the Invisible Shield. I will reply back with my results.

free shipping takes 1-2 weeks... so next time pay for shipping. try setting the sensitivity very high say 75000 like mine? doubt it does much over say 1500, but its a big number.

These places have a defect in the InvisibleShield. Maybe I should call it a blimish. The one is down in the dark section and not very noticeable but the other is just to the left of the middle of the screen. :-( I then started looking at the rest of the pieces on my Pro. There are quite a few blemishes. Most you really have to be looking for but it does tick me off. I also do not like the tacky feel of the screen. I do though love the tacky feel around the rest of the device. I have a BodyGuardz kit on the way and I'm going to replace the screen and buttons with it and see what I think. I'm going to contact Zagg and see if they will send me a replacement screen and button cover. Maybe it was just a bad batch of film?? Just my two cents worth. Hope it helps.

USE A BUNCH OF SPRAY, I USED ALMOST ALL THE BOTTLE JUST DOING THE BACK, NO PROBLEMS WHAT SO EVER, SPRAY BOTH THE PHONE AND BOTH SIDES OF THE SHIELD TO REMOVE THOSE THUMB PRINTS OR BLEMISHES THAT YOU CAUSED

Re: InvisibleShield vs Bodyguardz

how does this fit over the whole phone can someone take some pictures as im about to buy one got my first scratch on my screen but i got a buddy at sprint so he just gonna swap my phone

Re: InvisibleShield vs Bodyguardz

I just bought a bodyguardz for my TP after using invisible shield/ best skins ever for years on my other electronic devices. While I am impressed overall, there are some things that I find annoying.
1. Some of parts look like they were handcut. Specifically, I'm referring to the sides of the TP. I think at BSE and IS they use a laser to the cut is straight and clean.
2. The corners were much harder to apply than the IS/BSE. This might be because the TP is just hard to skin correctly, but I've had no problem with my other devices.

Re: InvisibleShield vs Bodyguardz

I am now a Ghost Armor user for all but the screen. As advertised, it is very nearly invisible except for the seams and looks good on the phone. It isn't tacky or rubbery feeling to me but is not quite as smooth as my screen protector of choice. For my screen protector I will stick with the PPCTech's Writeshield Crystal Clear. I have used them for years on most of my touchscreens. I swear they make the screen look clearer and feel smoother for use with the stylus/finger.

Re: InvisibleShield vs Bodyguardz

How is BestSkinsEver? Installation hard? It's cheap and seems to do exactly what Zagg does... Does it come with any liquid like Zagg?

Re: InvisibleShield vs Bodyguardz

^Bestskinsever installation isn't hard, it just takes time. I took an hour to do mine, but it came out FLAWLESS.

It doesn't come with the liquid, you mix it yourself. Very easy to make. take a cup of water and add a few drops of dishwashing liquid to it. When you install sit in a steamy bathroom and make sure you get all the lint off the phone first. Well worth the $7.99 for full body coverage.

No, it doesn't affect capacitive touch at all.

It's a skin. It sticks to your phone. Like a sticker. But it peels off and leaves no residue if you wanted to take it out. You're the reason people are getting refurb Touch Pro's, a scratch on your screen doesn't warrant a replacement phone ](*,)
