Grace be with you.

Psalm 19:7-8
John 3:16-18.

I just had this professionally put on my phone a few hours ago and it looks great, and I love the added grip it provides as well. Sure I could have done this myself. There is a trick to it, as some have stated, use lots of solution. on the object, on the adhesive side, and on the surface. And don’t forget your fingers. If you spray your fingers a few times it will keep them from sticking to the shield and leaving finger prints. Also, try to find a clean, dust free room to avoid lint and dust from settling on the screen. This too will cause air bubbles to be left, and will not be able to be smoothed out. But you can reapply it, just peel it off and try again. If you read the instruction and the website, they clearly state it can be reapplied numerous times without leaving residue. Also, if you run out of solution, water will work, but a better idea would be a mix between water and rubbing alcohol. The alcohol will evaporate faster cutting down dry times for those of you who are a bit on the impatient side. Lastly, proper application and squeegee use make a big difference. After all surfaces are sufficiently wet, align one edge, center the shield on the device, and then lay it down slowly working your way to the opposite edge. There may be a few bubbles left over, which can be smoothed out by using the squeegee in a diagonal motion. start from the bottom and work your way up, pushing the bubbles diagonally out to the sides, not straight up or you’ll likely get them trapped and have to start over. When that is done, you can use a hairdryer on low to speed drying up a bit more (this is what the person who applied mine did). It was also mentioned to me that I should not put this in my pocket or any holster for about 2 days while the adhesive cures. Failure to do so may result in corners peeling.

I certainly recommend this product for anyone worried about scratching their new phone, gps, laptop or anything else. As for me, I will most-likely use this in combination with a silicone case for added drop protection.

One thing I think a lot of people have majorly failed to do here is TAKE YOUR TIME!!! I did mine before I went to bed so it would have all night to dry. It took me an hour and a half to get it just right and to get all the little flaps on the edges to stick properly, then I stuck my iphone in a sock and put a book on top of it just to be sure they wouldn’t come back up overnight. As for bubbles, don’t just slap the thing down on top of your phone/ipod/whatever…start at one end and kind of lay it down slowly from one edge to another, squeegee-ing as you go along. This way works a lot better for preventing bubbles from being trapped. I barely even used the squeegee, instead I mostly used my fingers. The first time I laid the shield down, it was crooked, but instead of freaking out I just peeled it off and tried again. Just make sure your fingers are wet and fingerprints won’t be a problem, and if you run out of the solution (I had plenty left), just use bottled water. I had one small bubble (which disappeared) and two small pieces of lint (which are barely noticeable).

For the people who are complaining that they have to let it sit for 8-12 hours (minimum)…I suggest you learn a little word called “patience”. If you aren’t willing to follow the instructions and take your time, then don’t complain when your invisible shield looks like crap. I let mine sit overnight and then used it very gingerly the next day and had no issues.

Additionally…its a little piece of plastic. An inanimate object. If you’re going to let this thing piss you off enough that you rip it off and throw it in the trash, or whatever some of these other people did, then you have some anger management issues. Wait until you aren’t busy before you being installing this thing, and TAKE YOUR TIME. Don’t do it immediately after you get home from work and you’ve been sitting in rush hour traffic for two hours and your kids are screaming at you and you want to kill someone. That’s not a recipe for success.

As for it not being “invisible”…no, its not, but its pretty freakin close. Nothing is invisible, so chill out people. Unless I have my face three inches from one of the corners where the little edge flaps are, I can’t tell it’s there. It does give the screen a SLIGHTLY textured looking surface, however, I can only tell when I hold the screen at an angle in the light. It’s completely unnoticeable when I’m staring straight at it while I’m using my phone. Plus, it’s more noticeable to you because you know it’s there…I doubt anyone else will even see it. My boyfriend had one on his iphone and I played around with it a lot before I got my own, and I never even noticed it until he told me he had one and recommended that I get one too. Personally, I think it’s worth it, since I now have the piece of mind knowing my iphone isn’t going to be covered in scratches.

Don’t listen to the negative reviews…this is a great product, if you have some patience and are willing to take the time to install it properly. I recommend you google “invisible shield install instructions” and read as many of them as possible before you start installing. And TAKE YOUR TIME.

Hope this helps

i am very unhappy with the appearance of the product. IT IS NOT INVISIBLE, BY ANY MEANS.

apparently I.S. has changed their packaging so that you don’t get a bottle of spray. You get a tray with a little sponge. THIS IS LAME. Here’s why: you cannot apply enough application liquid with the sponge. A sprayer could apply the liquid in a mist, perhaps allowing more liquid to stay on the surface of the sticker. The sponge does not keep it wet enough to apply.

To really get a good application, the surface must be very wet, and this cannot be done sufficiently with the sponge packet. The result is MANY air bubbles. The squeegee is ineffective at pressing them out because it’s not wet enough! I used the squeegee on the first attempt, then did a second attempt using my thumb to press it out smoothly, from the center working to the edges. This method worked well to get the bubbles out.

HOWEVER, once dry, i saw the material had stretched with my thumb, and created a “fish scale” appearance from all my little thumb presses!

I left phone for a day as instructed, and although many of the ‘micro bubbles’ disappeared, the stretching is now in the material. The result is the screen looks all rippled in light reflected glare on the surface. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

The corners sealed well. i have already removed it, and it came off just fine.

The material is far too tacky to simply spread with a credit card. It is NOT LIKE WINDOW TINT, which remains unsticky and you can reposition. THIS STUFF IS STICKY LIKE TAPE RIGHT FROM THE START. You’d have to have it VERY WET to overcome it’s glue. This is impossible with this sponge thing.

This product is sold as a self-install product. I would not consider it such, as packaged. Professional install may be more suitable, so that someone who has done enough to develop a ‘technique’ can overcome imperfections.

The “warranty” is misleading. It does NOT cover installation flaws. So if you get a piece to fold over and it sticks to itself, or it stretches so alignment is impossible, you are S.O.L. Also, it costs $4-6 per warranty replacement. Hardly the ‘lifetime guarantee’ as preached on the pkg.

BUYER BEWARE. For the same appearance, you may as well install a simple Palm screen protector which peels off and is disposable. It is just as “invisible” as this product.

Even if you could manage a perfect install with no bubbles or stretch ripples, the material is made to have an “orange peel” effect. (like car paint) A touch screen requires a glassy finish. FOR THE SAME EFFECT, I MAY AS WELL COVER THE THING WITH CLEAR PACKING TAPE. THEY HAVE SOME B*LLS CALLING IT “INVISIBLE”.
