ZAGG 50% Off On InvisibleSheild Products!
I used one of this company's body protectors on my Duo, the thing was amazing. I know the description is kinda lame, but the protection kicks ass. Was hard to put on the curved parts of my phone's body (like all of these protectors are), but the screen protector is as easy to apply as any I've seen, and once you get it all on, it stays.
Ebay link for full body protection
Ebay link for screen protector only
Note: This isn't my auction, I was just browsing and saw that they had these available already.
Let me know how it fits your G1. I'm interested to know how they did it with the phone not out yet. Even the Invisible Shield guys (the "pioneers" of this kind of protector) are delaying til someone volunteers them a G1 for measurement after the release date.

What he said.... plus will the keyboard still slide? can we get to the reset button (if there is one)? does it come off easy or will it be a 2 hr process if we want to pull the SIM card?
Most of these full-body protectors come in several pieces that cover the whole phone, but still allow slides, buttons, etc. to work just fine.
My problem (and the reason I'm going with the invisible shield at zagg.com) is that some of these companies don't really cover the whole phone or even bother with the corners. Invisible shield covers everything.
And they're good for one use (but rock solid). They can be removed, but not generally repositioned since after they dry the first time, removing them stretches them out of shape.

That's how this one was for my Duo, and as for covering the whole phone it did that well. As for trying it on my G1, I don't have a G1 so that'd be quite difficult.

I know, man. That's one reason I trust the zagg people more...because they're actually waiting til the phone is released so they can get measurements. The get a lucky(?) volunteer to ship the phone to them and they custom-make the shield, install it, and ship it back, all for free. Then they have the measurements and can sell them to everybody. I'm a little wary of guys who claim to have a TBS before the phone is out.
I looked at "clear coat" I think. Some of their iPhone/touch/wtf ever protectors didn't even make it to the corners of the device. But the Invisible Shield brand covered everything but the ports. That's kinda what I'm looking at...but I'd be more than willing to pay less for something identical.

Haha, that always pissed me off that they made a customer send theirs in. Really, buy the ****ing phone and return it a day later, it's not hard. As for the G1, they're not hard to get... There are probably 10 on eBay that aren't pre-release, it's just that people don't bother to look.
Yeah, it's the slower process, but it's a guarantee that the shield will be 100% right for the phone. We are talking total-body protector, rather than just screen protector.
And if phones are being gouged on ebay for $600-1000 when there's just a little more than a week before anybody and his brother can get one, I can understand the wait. They sell shields; they're not in the phone-buying business. They've got a decent business model, even if it doesn't suit the impatient.
Edit: Someone on the tmonews forums got the "clear protector" brand from an ebay vendor. It comes in two pieces and doesn't cover the sides or corners.
i ordered one at e-bay and already have it home. im courios how its gonna fit a screen. but best thing is i spend only 0.01$ with free shippingfor it

Interesting...
They must've gotten their volunteer. I know a guy on tmonews was actively courting them for his free shield.
For those looking to pre-order an invisible shield, here's a 20% off coupon code: "xxxxxx" (Code no longer works)
They're selling for just under $20 and this code gives almost a $4 discount.

yeah I ordered mine already... I talked to them on the phone and they told me that if someone was willing to pay for shipping the phone both ways they would probably make them a shield for free and install it so that they can get the measurements early... so if you have a phone and want a shield call them and see what you can work out...
wow, that looks pretty cool. Next paycheck i'm going to order one of those for my G1, my psp slim, and maybe for my Zen.
zagg.com emailed me and said that my shield was mailed... I am impressed... that was really fast.
BodyGuardz vs. IS
interested in what you all think of Invisible shield vs boadyguardz? i keep reading that IS gives more of an orangepeel effect whatever that means lol.
anyone tried them out fo real and not just looked at them?

I ordered the Bodygaurdz after reading a review of the two
the orangepeel effect is supposed to be seen as a negative thing making the screen harder to see, like a type of haze. The bodygaurdz is supposed to be tougher than the IS and shouldn't tear/scratch as easy. Also reviewed as more invisible/transparent too. I should receive it in a couple days and will post some photos before and after and let you know my real thoughts about it.
I like that you get 2 full body protectors for $24 and the shipping was free from bodygaurdz direct website.

my shield got here last night and I put it on and it looks really nice... I wish the front part had been one piece but I guess it works the way it is. With it on the screen actually feels more responsive and easier esp when scrolling.
There is a place by my house that sells IS and puts it on for you. The owner stopped by my store and gave me a card to get one for free. So I hit them up today and got it put on. So far its not bad but there are some rough edges. They told me it would smooth out in a few days after its "Cured". They also said not to put it in your pocket for 2 days. I will report back in a few days to see how it goes.
Where do you live? I am thinking of taking my off because I messed up and having someone else do it for me. Sadly while I was doing it the door bell rang and I had to answer it... well needless to say I had to reapply the screen piece again and now it is kinda funky... Other than that it is good I am just hoping the screen cures.

Hey it appears that GagdetShieldz has finally released a skin for the Tilt 2! I had one on my Fuze and at 6.99 I don't think they are a bad deal at all... plus it worked quite well! When I get done with Finals I am gonna order one and put it on... Plus free worldwide shipping!
Found here!
Edit: I just placed my order... I will post updates once I get it in and applied!

THANKS.. Just ordered one..

15% off
I got this too. For less than $6 with free shipping,you really can't beat that. I hope it's good. I've been using the Invisiblesheild for my past 3 phones, it works really nice if you take the time to put it on correctly but it costs a lot more than this.
Mine just came in the mail yesterday. I've been using Invisiblesheild for several of my devices and to be honest with you I can't tell the difference. The only major differences between this and Invisiblesheild is that it does not come in the fancy box with the spray, squeegee, applicator card etc. Just a plain envelope with the product. Since it only cost $5-6 its hard not to recommend this.
honestly i found this one harder to put on, and eventually i wasnt able to...
that and this feels.. thinner than invisible shield, but not that much. the texture is also slightly different...
overall for 6 bucks its a good deal lol
Installed
I just finished installing it, and yeah the front was difficult... kind of rushed to back and have a bubble or two but no biggie. I took my time on the front and it is curing right now! I will try and get pictures but it will be later next week, after Christmas!
Oh and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays y'all!
Please post detailed pictures and if possible a scratch test. I was looking at bodyguardz but this is a cheap alternative I am willing to consider if available for T7373 also (not branded). Also tell me if it arrived just 1 set or 2 sets like bodyguardz and if the touch screen's sensitivity is somehow affected?
EDIT:
20% discount coupon - PPCSG20
I will try
MightyCrys I apologize I am out of town, however, I will try to get a camera from a family member! As far as screen sensitivity - I have noticed no depreciable difference in that area. The screen definitely has a different feel due to the skin's thickness, but I do not see this as an issue. My fingers sort of drag on the surface on the skin, but it does not impede function by any means. My stylus use is very limited but the stylus is usable with the appropriate amount of pressure.
Also you receive 1 shield only, but at 6.99 (w/o discounts) I still find it hard not to recommend.
You are right about the price, it's the best aspect but my main problem is that is only made for carriers branded phones and not for the unbranded european T7373 which I have and don't want to be doing some cutting myself..
I see
I see that now, didn't realize they were only for the carrier branded models. If you try requesting it on the GadgetShieldz website they can probably accommodate your needs. That is what I did for the Tilt 2, but whether it was my request or the fact that they were gonna make one anyway I really dunno haha!
Hope you find something to suit your needs!
I already left a message on their site, but so far no answer. .
Although it's strange to me that they didn't do a shield for the original device as well
If you can, please put some pictures of your TP2 with the shield on
I'd love to see some pics of installed product, thanks.
For anyone interested in bodyguardz, now is a good time to order. They already include the 25% discount for Christmas and if you use coupon 155A6 you get another 20% off!!
Just saw it today. Otterbox is going to have a case for the slide!
Otterbox dot come and look under HTC cases!
I saw it about a week ago. Its a bit basic looking, but knowing them it's as tough as a brick s%!t house. I own several of their products and can vouch for them. Great products.
Looks good, the more aftermarket support the better!
Finally!!
My only gripe is $35.00 for a case is off the chain!
But seeing as they'll be the only manufacturer of a good case
for this phone I'll shut up and pay.
Same, i had an otterbox for my BB. It was kind of a race, who would release my case first? Otterbox or Siedio? Looks like Otter wins.
Thanks drazile, finally something of what appears to be superb quality.
I ranted and raved to them wanting a case and was told basically due to the split slider design that they would not likely make one. I went back and forth for a month or more. Then finally ditch my slide for a vibrant and now I hear this! Well its still a great thing. Wife has my slide now so I may get one for her if I can talk her into giving up that god awful rhine stone monstrosity she has now.
Direct Link
Still listed as coming soon, I put my e-mail in to be notified when it will be available so I will let you know when I get it. Love this phone, but it sure hasn't gotten the love from accesory makers.

Body Glove.
I've been waiting for this too, but now body glove has one for 25 that looks better than what I see on the otterbox page. I dont think they are going to have a defender series.

Which body glove case are your referring to? Hopefully it isn't the one sold through tmo. That case cost a decent bit and was total garbage if you took the case off more then a couple times. The real problem with putting a case on a slide type phone is that there is nowhere for the case to get a good grip. They rely on these thin tabs that must be thin in order to fit in the cracks and not cause friction, but being thin causes them to bend and wear quickly when case is taken off repeatedly. So if you have a couple batteries that you like to switch between, a case is likely not for you on this phone. Im hoping this otterbox case will be different somehow, perhaps very high quality tabs. I would love to buy one for my wife but I certainly wont be a guinea pig after that pos body glove case.
bulkyglove cases ...
This bodyglove case looks to have a bit better coverage on the screen part of the slide than the one tmo sells. My issue with the bodyglove cases (besides the faulty tabs) is the amazing amount of bulk they add to the device ... too much to warrant a purchase in my opinion. The otter box case looks sweet but I am concerned the demand has not prompted them to make a production run. If you're interested in the otter box case please sign up for it at the site so they know the demand is there.
Just got the email, the MT3GS Otterbox case is available: http://www.otterbox.com/HTC-myTouch...tch2-20101022&cid=emu-lch-htc4-mtch2-20101022
Yep, that is correct! It's available online.

But it only comes in black! That's fine for y'all with white or black phones, but I love my red one. Oh sure, some of the color would show as trim, but.....
That's not really an issue. How hard is it to remove and replace?
Looking forward to a review when someone gets one.
So who's going to be the guinea pig? I'm extremely disappointed with the Body Glove case tabs. After a couple months, I'm down to one tab, lol.

That's a downer I just ordered one from Amazon, but the bonus was it was only 12 bucks, and of course I got the e-mail from Otterbox about 10 hours after I placed the order that it was now available.

Sorry archie. You might have better luck than I did. It would've held up better if I didn't have to pull the battery a couple times. It's a solid case though. I'm still rocking it with 1 tab.

i bought that case when i first got my amaze, i dont use it anymore. I found it damaged my phone (more specific, the raised edge around the glass is chipped). Granted i have 3 batteries so taking it on and off, which is a PIA with this case, probably didnt help at all, but now it just sits there collecting dust. just my $0.02

Thanks for this post, I would have never known about this if not for you... You Da Man
I tried the D30 dual protection case with the coupon, didn't like how it didn't wrap around the phone case and rise above the glass, so took it back and got their "band" cover with clear back cover. The US stores also have a "buy 2 get 1 free" offer for accessories for a few weeks. Some stores may notice that this coupon cannot be combined with any other promotion, but the girl who sold me the first cover last week didn't bother to check that ... whoops, I missed that opportunity, could've got a $35 accessory for 30% off, then another, and gotten some earbuds or something free. D'oh!
I'm not usually one to spend a bunch of money on a case...but this one looked to awesome to pass up:

As nice as this case is I'm a little skeptical about its practicality. For one the wallet/case appears to add a lot of extra bulk to the phone, kinda making it to big to put in your pocket.
Second, it is a case-wallet. Would you be using it as a wallet as well? If you are keep in mind that if you ever lost your phone you would be losing your money, credit cards, ID's, etc along with it. Basically you would be getting screwed in 2 ways if your phone happened to get lost or stolen.
Third, unless you have a Bluetooth headset it seems a little too cumbersome to have a call on. The flap seems like it will get in the way unless you fold it back.
Lastly, the price. $60 for a case is just a lot of dough. I'm not one to cheap out on a case but for this to work for me I would not only need the case but a full body kit such as Zagg, Bodyguardz, Phantomskinz, etc to go along with it.
Don't get me wrong its a beautiful and classy looking case, just not sure if its for me.
I like these cases a lot. I think they may appeal to many people. I have always wanted a case that incorporates a wallet. However, my ideal case would be a big rugged Trident, Ballisitc or Otterbox that allows you to slide in a few credit cards.
I should add that I like the look of the cases. I haven't actually seen them in person.

I agree with pretty much everything you said here. That being said....
I currently use a Credit Card Case for my IPhone 4S and have carried my License, Credit Card, and Debit Card with my phone for the last 8 months. I absolutely love being able to not have to carry around a separate wallet. I haven't lost my phone as of yet, so no worries about losing my credit cards...but I understand how that might be a concern for some. It just simply cuts down on the number of things I have to scramble around the house to find before I can go out. My checklist currently is (Keys, Phone, and unfortunately...cigarettes). Now...would I prefer to have it in a non-flip case format (like what I'm using now)? Sure would. But until someone comes out with one for the Note, this will have to do.
On that note (no pun intended), case manufacturers need to pay attention here. I suppose when a phone is as insanely popular as the Iphone's are, it makes sense to make a wide variety of cases. Android phones don't seem to get the same kind of love. I would buy immediately a thin case that allowed me to slide a couple of cards on the back of the case..but alas...no credit card case android love.
Will this hold the i717 tightly? My flip cover for the N7000 does not fit on my i717.

No phone yet, but this case came in today!
wow! it looks a lot lighter than i expected. Still nice though ^^
How well does money fit in there? I pre-ordered one from ebay as well, and I'm just waiting for it to come in.
I've been using an iPhone wallet for months now and love it. I can't go back to using a standard wallet. I already got my hands on the Anymode wallet case with a swivel stand, but I'm not happy with the little bulk the swivel button adds in the center.
Since I'm a noob I can't post a link yet, but its one of the two tone wallet cases on ebay that have the picture window for the a drivers license. I also find that the swivel piece moves a bit too freely.

Money fits fine. Folded in half of course... But would expect to be able to fit at least ten bills. I don't use cash, but it's nice to have that little pocket to add receipts to and stuff.

Sorry to hear that!!!! When I ordered it said more than 10 left....Guess they had a rush on them.
My Advantage came with a case like this. Even though it offered great protection and the ability to stand the phone up, I found it to be too cumbersome so it never saw the light of day. I got a belt case instead.
I can see why you bought it, impressive...kinda retro-classic...but still tasteful; not overdone. Right out of a Gibson novel. A unique case for a unique device.
Interested how this eye candy will translate into practical daily use. Feel free to update.
No worries on the magnet. The notes amoled should be okay with the magnet, just don't rest it on your laptop at home or worse get near a plasma tv!

I just got a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and I've had good luck with Skinomi skins on other devices so I went shopping. I was about to buy off their site when I found them on sale at Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi-TechSkin-Protector-Lifetime-Warranty/dp/B007US84S0/
At 95 cents I thought it was a typo and they'd cancel the order. It came in the mail Saturday. Full kit with the tube, the solution, the cloth, and the little rubber wedge. It has the holes for the camera and the light sensor. I have not put it on yet, but it looks like all the other Skinomi skins I've put in.
If you haven't used these they are GREAT (and I don't work for Skinomi). These are the kind you put on wet. You can't use your device for a day or so after you put it on and it will look TERRIBLE at first. But after all the water dries out it is totally invisible unless you find an edge. If you get a little ding in it, the ding will heal itself over time unless the ding is white. If you have a white ding, they will send you another one and you have to return the one you take off. As long as you return them (after you get the new one) they will do this indefinitely (lifetime warranty). I've had one on my phone and gTablet for 2 years and never had to use the warranty.
No idea how they can be on sale for this price, but thought someone might be interested.
Sounds like a nice screen protector. Never had a nice one like that so I've always disliked them. Maybe that one would change my mind.
I want to order one of the carbon fiber skinimi kits that comes with everything. That's going to rock.
Im guessing it was a typo, I just checked and they are $15.95.
Although I think I'd still buy it at that price - it sounds good :fingers-crossed:

Well, I picked up 2 at that price on the theory that it was cheaper than getting a 2nd kit under warranty! I don't know if it was a sale or a mistake but they did honor the price.
