InvisibleSHIELD by Zagg for iPhone 3G

I took that Invisible Shield (by Zagg) protective covering for the iPhone with much intrepidation. I've had these types of coatings before and always had problems putting them on.

But I love this one.

Once I figured out the secret, it wasn't difficult to put on and I'm very happy with the finished product. It may not last a lifetime (gets beaten up pretty bad) but will certainly last as long as I'll have this iPhone.

The secret to putting it on is lots of the spray. If you douse the 'skin' before putting it on (as well as your finger tips so there are no fingerprints) you can put the skin on and move it into place. If you don't get it right first time you can take it off and spray and do it again. I had to do mine 4 times before I was happy.

The corner tabs are a little tricky. But no worries. I left them for a few minutes (to make them stickier) and then held them in place in the palm of my hand for around 30 seconds. Presto - corners on.

The new shield does not take away from the feel of the iPhone. Actually it makes it less slippier so I can leave it on my dash under normal conditions and it doesn't fly around. The other big bonus is cleaning the screen. Fingerprints and marks come right off with a quick wipe vs. the iPhone screen which hazes over and takes quite a bit of care to keep clean.

All in all, I would recommend this product highly.
