Go to the link address where he says "all are welcome". The other links seem to be busted.
It opens a thread in their forum and the link is at the bottom of the first post, right above the sig. (You have to be registered on their forum.)
I just downloaded it.

Trident if you are referring to me.....I am already a registered member from the preivous versions.....just waiting for the final release .....right now pocketshield and the tp in general are working just fine, it took awhile to get the phone just the way I want it.. 8) ....I dont want to mess things up with the beta testing version at this time.

This is a fabulous version. I love the see through lock shield into your today screen. As everyone knows I am a big fan of Pocket Shield and this version is awesome!

Re: pocketshield 3.0 beta (aug22)
 

I ended up buying it - it's smoking hot!

Re: pocketshield 3.0 beta (aug22)
 

Does anyone know when the full version of 3.0 will be out?

Re: pocketshield 3.0 beta (aug22)
 

from the link in post 1:

"When?
Final version will be ready in a couple of weeks. This is an estimated time but will depend on how fast the possible issues are reported, solved and on how critical or show-stoppers they are."

I wish they'd make it so you can show the transparent part right away without depending on light or screen tap... a simple transition to show the transparency would be nice too.

Hmm...I don't see the purpose of this feature actually

Re: pocketshield 3.0 beta (aug22)
 

Right now...the only notifications you get on the pocketshield is icons...so lets say you get a text or email.

Well...you first have to unlock the shield to get the today screen to check the text/email notification bubble/popup or whatever.

When the release is out or try the beta version now..you can see through the shield and not have to unlock to see who left the text/email..etc it is a minor thing but for me...i recieve alot of email/text and now it is nice not to keep unlocking just to see who or what left the text/email and if I need to reply right away or if it is no big deal and it can wait.

Ahh I see. That could be useful. Didn't think of that

Yeah i'm using the beta now.

I luv the bubbles theme. stupid Omnia only

I bought PocketShield right after I tried it (about a month ago). While I am usually all over new versions and betas -- I think I might stick with 2.8 -- unfortunately, I saw this about the upcoming 3.0:

It's small. It's relatively insignificant. It's also something I got used to in the earlier versions that I won't be able to do anymore if I upgrade. Any background that has a point of focus/interest near the bottom of the image gets obstructed awkwardly in split view.

I am also not a big fan of notifications. I usually turn off everything under Windows Notiifications except small audible prompts. Many of the PocketShield improvements seem to be notification-related, and part of what I like so much about PS is how simple and barebones (and fast and stable) its notification handling is(was?). I always turn the booster off. Oh well. Upgrades aren't for everyone I guess.

I am glad most everyone is excited about the upgrade -- but I think I might have to hop off the train here and stay at the last station.

Actually, I was referring to the OP and the post that was after that one (that has since been deleted) that noted that the links weren't working. I just posted some (very similar) links to get people to the Beta Forum.
