Hello everyone Just wanted to let Y'all know that RadioShack is selling the Zagg Invisible Shield for $9.99!! I just bought one and thought that I would share the info with everybody.
Good find. How did the screen feel after the protective screen was on?
awesome! doesn't get much better than the zagg shield. I like how it covers the whole front of the phone too
I hope it doesn't peel.... My experience with zagg is that it peels after some time.
I have a zagg on mine and a kraken case Great combo and works fine
yea, its a good cover, ... i bust out the plastic one with my otterbox and ballistic case.. not as hard to clean... i do not recommend the zagg with matte finish though, it made my old evo4g look pixilatied
i work at radioshack and i have gone through 2 zaggs both of which peeled off rather easily. i also did care for the feeling... it made scrolling feel laggier almost... and with my OCD the smallest air bubble or speck under it drove me nuts.
thats just my 2 cents. i know alot of people and my co-workers love em.

Had to call a couple of stores because they are selling like crazy. Finally picked one up. On a side note the HTC Desktop Cradle is now $14 at Radio Shack.

Nice man . I have snagged them up on eBay for 10 or less in the past I have a extra zagg just in case I ever need it ... Tricky part is you have to make sure you have clean hands dust free area. Then spray your hands down with the solution . Take the paper off the back of the zagg and spray it down good and line her up on the glass . Use the thing they give you to get rid of the extra fluid and air bubbles. Should clear up fine in a day.
Take battery out just to be safe while applying
Was @ the mall and ran in to a kiosk that sold Zagg. I didn't know that they were going for 9.99 though. I feel like I was ripped off but on the up side though they cleaned and installed it for me. So far no bumps or weird distortion. The feel of it will take some time to get used to though as it is a bit more griper. Anywayz, so far so good. Just glad that they offered a lifetime warranty so if this does go goofy, all I have to do is go back down and get money back or they re do it. Oh, instead of 9.99 it did run me about 25.00 dollars w/ tax (front @ back)
Has anyone had long standing good luck with these?
Thanks,

Nice I have had zaggs on my phones in the past always hold up well even a year or 2 and still looks good as new...
I was kind of wondering, I know that other people had it on their phone for 10 dollars, but was wondering what is the normal going rate for this?

Well if you are lucky you can find them for 10 bucks if on sale ebay is cheaper with free ship... If you go to best buy they want 20 bucks plus tax and they won't put it on....
20 bucks in the mall or other areas that those folks sell for zagg they will install it for you which is nice...
I got one on ebay for 5 bucks free ship another for 10

The Zagg's actually are not as hard to install as you would think. There are quite a few videos on the net to show you how to do it. I admit though, the first one I ever did was a little jacked up. But now that I have done a bunch of them, I can actually put one on in the car no problems. Just make sure to clean the screen and wet your fingers and the protector
I bought it for 10 bucks from the mall. I convinced a female worker to cut the price down for me. Zagg FTW.

Love my zagg, it feels almost impossible to scratch. I got the soft otter box case for it though, and didnt like it. Fit too loosely on the phone:/

D3O Case - $8.39 + Tax In Store.
$11.99 + 30% off.
Do it.
Other Amaze accessories dropped as well.
Invisible Shields are $14.99 with front and back.
Buy any 2 and get one FREE.
I went in to my local Tmo store to buy a case, it was $30. It rang up at $15, so I was okay with that. I notice they are dropping the price of Amaze accessories.
I picked up a HTC desktop dock last night at Tmobile for $18, new in the box.
same, picked up the speck case. half price for $14.99, 30% coupon worked as well
Going to the mall after work today. Thanks for the heads yo guys!!!

I have one of the d30 cases and I absolutely hate it. Makes the phone so much more bulky and the power button has zero feed back that it was pressed other than looking at the screen to see if its on. And you have to press it pretty good to get it to come on. I even gave it a week and a half to see if it got better or I got used to it.

All of these problems are 100% ACCURATE!
Not to forget, along the sides, the screen sticks out farther than the case wraps leaving about 1mil exposed on each side. I HATE how heavy it is and the power button is AWFUL. :banghead:
Switching to New BoxWave Case as soon as mine gets here.
Sent from my HTC Amaze running Sense 3.5
I picked up one of these cases, because it was literally the only case they had in stock for the Amaze. I agree the power button doesn't work nearly as well now, I am thinking about how I could (potentially) make it work better.
Tape usually fixes the Amaze...lol (Amaze joke)
Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?

Yeah, you gotta be careful and do it ever so lightly. If you go through oh well. It's just easier to put if you do. I don't know how long it'll last. I slit mine slightly and it broke in.

Any way you could grab one for me? lol I would pay you for the price plus shipping! Was that with the 30% coupon? And did they have the car dock on sale too? I live in a small town in Missouri so the closest T-Mobile store is St. Louis which is a 2 hour drive for me and I don't even know if they carry the dock! =(
Hey guys I just ordered this case/accessory bundle. I basically just need a case thats easy on/off for work. I dont use a case on my personal time. Im tired of the 2 piece seidio case on my OG evo so thats why I didnt go with another one for this phone. I got an email today saying it was shipping out. Anyone else thinking of ordering this too?

price seems pretty steep for a silicone case. TPU cases usually go for the same amount or cheaper and they come off just as easy but offer more security than silicone cases.
if you jumped on the deal for the extra chargers for work, i would reconsider for something more reliable. i, and many others, would vouche for this car charger bc it charges nearly as fast as a wall charger and has a long track record, though i got it for $2 at the time:

all in all, this is just my opinion. im sure it will hold you by since its just for work

I hear what ur sayin but I waste so much money on stupid crap that I dont even care anymore. I might order one of these as well http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-EVO-4G-...946818?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c65691642
Or maybe ill just wait to see what comes out after the release date if im not happy with the silicone one.
A friend of mine has that motorola charger and I agree, it does work well.
If you end up being happy with it, then you got a great deal. If you notice that the silicon stretches over time, consider TPU, which is equally cheap. I understand exactly what you mean about throwing a lot of money away...
Just to update: I got the phone today and ive had the case for a couple days now. The case fits perfectly. Everything lines up to where it should be.

I prefer the thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) cases, they add the least amount of bulk and provide adequate protection. I have one on my 3D and with a screen protector it has survived a year with a few light drops and is still in mint condition.
I ordered the same one on ebay as listed above (Smoke) and got it today, good seller fast shipping
Plus they are only around $5-$10 delivered! Compared to my wife's $40 otterbox that has been warrantied 4 times in less than 11 months!

The two links I just posted are for tpu cases. My original link was for silicone. I like the silicone one so far. No problems with it slipping off when taking it out of my pocket.
I saw the one in your link but I decided against it because I don't like the fact that the camera button and volume buttons are exposed. I like having them covered by the silicone/tpu.
Update: Got the 2 TPU cases in the mail. I hate them. The fit it way too tight. Its really a struggle just to get them on and off. They also ruined my screen protector because it caught the corner of it while putting the case on.
I will say however that once the case is on it has a very nice feel to it and it adds nearly zero bulk to the phone. Its a very tight fit and all of the buttons work perfectly with no problems. Being that im mainly going to be taking these on and off very frequently its not as convenient as just slipping the silicone case on.
i think it's today only......i was thinking of getting it for my rezound (7.49 for just the screen) and my evo tab (9.99)
but i remember i had an invisible shield on my env touch, and i hated how it felt..the orange peel...and i put a scratch in it with my damn fingernail.
are these things any good?>
*edit* just ordered me a front screen protector fro the rez..why not, only 10 bucks after shipping. not bad. hopefully i won't hate it lol
Yea the sale is the for 28th and 29th. I'm debating on getting one. Any purchase of over $9.99 gets you a free zaggfoam. http://www.zagg.com/j/promo/memorial-day-sale-2012.php

Zaggs are the best for protection but they can be scratched. Lifetime warranty tho. I dropped my TBolt face down on concrete and not a scratch on the screen, but got a rub mark on it when I tossed it to my wife & it hit the edge of the couch. Go figure.
There's an ebay dealer named shieldwarehouse that sells em $12.49 shipped. Brand new, authorized retailer so you get the warranty. Much better than $20+tax at BestBuy not including installation which is $8 extra. They're easy to install.
*Sent...*
Personally, I hate the zagg protectors.
That super tacky orange peel feel and appearance ruins the screen for me.
I had tried a few in the past, but always ripped them off and threw them away within a few days.
My son bought a RAZR MAXX last week and wanted a protector. He bought it from BestBuy mobile and all they sell are ZAGG.
They offered to install it and the kid working there did a killer install. I waited a few days and asked him what he thought of it. He told me "I'm thinking of taking it off, I hate the feel of it"..........
hahaha yeah they def do suck. I hate mine already

So after finding basically one retailer (bestbuy) who sells anything close to acceptable protection for the note in my area i found myself in the mall sunday morning. Suddenly im gazing at cases and sparkly covers for seemingly every handset known to man.
Uh-oh ive been spotted, the little man behind the counter spots me and we lock eyes. He sees: a guy with money he wants, a roadrunner for the coyote. I see: a hobbit at another useless mall kiosk. How the hell does sears and spencer gifts keep this place open?
He asks what can he help me with, there is a gunslinger tension as i wrestle to pull the monster from my pocket and give him a glimpse. Lets see what youve got for this, i say with a smirk. Surely if Attparty cant stock cases, screen protectors and assesories for their OWN product this mr. Miagi look alike cant either?
Ooooo galaxy note! Here! He pulled out a couple excellent cases, i bought a two piece which snaps together, and he applied a very nice screen protector.
How many times ive dismissed or laughed at these phone "huts" ,... finally good for something.
Sorry for the story, i was totally stoned on hash and i swear this is how it went down. Hahaha

I dissagree.. I liked his story.. Well written and kept my interest!

thanks for the story.

another quote..
"These kiosks are way over-priced. "
this is true. when you look to ebay and amazon, they are way over priced...
BUT.. these kiosk operators regularly bargain down..
Try it.. They will haggle and almost always cave in..
lets say a typical TPU case on ebay and amazon goes for maybe 8-10 bucks shipped..
the kiosk guy wants 20..... haggle him down to 17.... the when he says ok.... you open your wallet and show the entire contents of 14$$. ( you purposely stuffed 14 ONLY in there as you cased the case prior to speaking with him)
Now he sees that he's cleaned out your wallet of all your 14 bucks... leaving yoou with 0000
Guess what?? He takes it! Done deal..
as you walk away with your new case.. you re-stuff your wallet with the cash you had stuffed into your other front pocket!!!

There are so many TPU cases you can buy for less than $5 with free shipping from ebay. Even $14 is too much for a TPU case.
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?LH_B...t=PDA_Accessories&_mPrRngCbx=1&_udlo=10&_udhi
$10 or more, you can get few cases, screen protector, charger and other accessories.
If you are trying to cheap out on a case, $14 TPU case is not a good deal.

I had a very similar experience at my local mall(I wasn't stoned on hash, unfortunately). A couple years back I bought a cheap rubber case for my Captivate. I don't remember it being overpriced, but I don't know, I bought it on a whim.
After I got my Note I started shopping around for a case. Turns out the same kiosk had an actual Otterbox. I don't remember what I paid for it, but it was comparable to prices I found online.

Yes, I realize this, but when you're in a pinch they're a good place to find something fast. When I first got my Note I went straight to the mall cause I was NOT about to leave it naked for 3-5 business days while I waited for a case to arrive, or pay $40 for a case in the AT&T store. $15 for peace of mind is cheap, IMO.

I should hit the flea market up. I bought a case out of pure necessity tonight from the local att store. Best buy sells overpriced stuff here. No otterbox anywhere local.
Anyway. I paid 43 bucks for a "speck" case that snaps on. It will get me by till I get a better one. I have thirty days to return it (which I most likely will)
Blah
