Invisible Shield Installation
 

I bought the full body CDMA version of Zagg's Invisible Shield for the Touch Pro and the back and front two pieces seem easy to install. Im having trouble matching up the rest of the pieces with the phone. The "Shield" doesn't come with specific instructions for the TP so I was wondering if anybody has seen a installation video specifically for this. I've been lookin and haven't found one yet.

oh, its not fun. When i put mine on, it was a bit of a challenge. I called them up, they tried to walk me through it. Talk about a complete ordeal. I had to tell the rep what to google for so she could see the same photos i was looking at.

After all of it, she sent me a new one because i had screwed up the first one. I still have not put it on. But when i do i'll make some video on how to do it. Maybe this weekend.

after you've had it for a lil while, could you let us know how you like it?

I've heard they turn yellow after a few weeks :( but i really wanted one

Re: Invisible Shield Installation
 

They won't turn yellow within a few weeks, but after a long time, the edges tend to become discolored. Doesn't really affect the performance, but if you really stare at the battery cover all day, it might be a little unattractive :)

Yea, I wouldnt buy another one b/c of the discoloration but at least I know it wont scratch.. I jus cant figure out how to install the whole thing

Re: Invisible Shield Installation
 

Ive got the full shield installed on mine. It works great but the installation was kind of tough. Some of the pieces stretch a bit when you apply them so you have to be careful about throwing off the alignment. I used plenty of solution, latex gloves (that's what she said) and separated the pieces before removing the backing. I started with what I knew and then checked logical places for what I didn't, considering button placement, etc.

I installed the bestskinsever one piece at a time, especially the small side pieces. I used a solution of water and small amount of soap. Made sure each piece was in place and let it dry overnight if I couldn't install the next piece without bumping the already installed pieces. The results were great. I did have to cut a hole for the camera, since the skin is a little blurry.

Ok... I found this how-to on installing the I.S. on a HTC Fuze. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31OKbH5uRIg
I figured it wouldn't be too different from the installation of a Touch Pro. The video comes in 3 parts (the 1st one doesnt really say anything)

Re: Invisible Shield Installation
 

I installed this skin today with no problems. Didn't cut a hole for the camera and took pics afterwards, no problems and no seen smudges. :) happy!

Re: Invisible Shield Installation
 

Quick question, can you still remove the battery door cover without removing the shield?

Also, how does it affect the slide function when pulling out the keyboard?

Re: Invisible Shield Installation
 

To your first question, yes you can. There is a piece for the door itself.

To your second question, it does not affect the slide function if installed properly.

Re: Invisible Shield Installation
 

the one I'm using (bestskinsever) have no problem with either.

Re: Invisible Shield Installation
 

So has anyone found a video for this?? I know where the 4 strips are supposed to be located but it seems as tho it wont cover all of the outer chrome.. and theres two really small pieces that I havent been able to place yet.

Re: Invisible Shield Installation
 

Did u ever get that video made??

Re: Invisible Shield Installation
 

the liquid they give you sucks. i mean it would be good if they gave you say 5 times the amount, but you really need to soak it and the phone for it to slide, and not have an micro bubbles. my first set had finger prints under it, and i just got the phone, after i put it on someone thot i had the phone for atleast 6 months because it looked awful. the next time i used glass cleaner, i cleaned, i sprint both sides of film and the phone, it slide perfectly and it looks damn near perfect.

Re: Invisible Shield Installation
 

Yes you can remove the battery door cover and no it does not affect the slider function.

Re: Invisible Shield Installation
 

So I take it no one has found a video for the installation yet

Re: Invisible Shield Installation
 

How hard can it be? I'm 16 years old and I did it perfectly without looking up instructions

The small piece without an indentation goes on the side between the power and volume buttons.

The one with the the indentation goes between the usb port and the stylus.\

You know what, I'm expecting a replacement for my shield, since it got cut... I think I will do a video on that...cause with me, it was quite easy! I did the following (not in order sorry, just typing as it comes to mind)

Tip 1) spray a lot of the solution on your finger tips before pealing that skin off the adhesive paper. That will avoid any finger prints

Tip 2) Also make sure that you do not have any debris on your screen & make sure the screen is ultra clean!

Tip 3) I used my finger tips on the smallest part of the skin's corner to peal away from the paper (with my fingers sprayed) and when holding on to that part, you can then put the FRONT side (non sticky side) on your hand and spray away until that thing is all wet.

Tip 4) make sure your phone is off and apply that skin from top to bottom. What I did was sorta rolled it on with the top of the skin meeting the top of the phone and I just rolled the rest on very slowly.

Once you have it positioned right, squeegie away!

I found it easier then I expected it to be, I though it was going to be hard with all this mess, but it came out perfect for me.

For whatever reason when I applied the Invisible Shield product, the pieces seemed to be longer than they should have been. I always applied everything to the very edge (before covering up a mic or speaker) and still had extra length. On the long piece that is on the side of the sliding face, I had to trim a few mm off, otherwise the product would have gone a few mm over the power button.

So far I'm not too impressed with this product. I've installed BSE's skin and never had these issues, not sure if I got a kit that was cut wrong or what? Any one else found the pieces to be a bit too long?
