Hi all,
I recently purchased and installed the full body invisibleSHIELD and thought some of you might like to see a round of photos and read my review. It can be found here: http://www.pocketables.net/2008/05/review-htc-shif.html
I'm really happy with the shield and would recommend it to anyone with a lot of patience (there are 15 pieces total so it takes a long time to apply them and allow everything to "set up") looking for a way to protect the Shift without making it thicker/bigger or covering up its good looks.
wow thanx for the review!!!
I already have the invisibleShield for my iPhone and my MacBook Pro and didn't knew that there was one for the shift too!
It's an excellent protection tough, I just bough it!
Putting it on is a mission but looks good after, but I will not call it "invisible"...But for protection it is the best thing ever...
long install but the quality is fantastic,before putting this on i was scared to put my phone on hard surfaces lol

I would have liked to come across this before buying the product, a couple of weeks ago...
My shift definitely is another device now, I really love the shiny look, lets hope I don´t have to remove the screen protector, since other users have said it decreases the use of the stylus, making it get caught up or something...
I just have the oem one on it right now and i have looked at some but to pay 29.99 for full body that i have no clue if it is good or not is risky to me.Also i might get a clear case if anyone knows of a good place to get one.Anyway i want to get something and sale priced.Thanks in advance.
Daydeal has them. Less than ten dollars with shipping.
Thanks i seen the daydeal on ebay and it does not impress me for 10$ when you can get the same for half that.If they gave free shipping i would be all over it but they are wanting 3.99 then 4.50 for shipping and to me that is BS.Thanks.
Ralph.
I just put on a Bodyguardz full. Fit my Sprint phone perfectly. Use their twitter or facebook page for discount code (I used madness and got 20% off).
I like the quality and $20(US) a very good price for 2 sets.
Thanks i got one on ebay 10$ delivered so that ios about the same with shipping.Hope it does well when it comes.

damn this too short crap! lol
ghost armor should fit your needs as well. If you want pics I've got them linked in a similiar discussion in the Rhod CDMA thread to my flicker account.
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!

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!!
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.

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,
Z ....

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.

Noticed a couple days ago my zagg has 3 small scrapes on it. Thought at first it was something smudged but it won't come clean. Looks like miniature Wolverine got it
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:/

Lol a miniature Wolverine nice.. I have left in dents on mine from my keys and so on but it always pops back out and looks just as good as the day I put it on
So i went into BB the other day to check out if they had any cases for my Note. And of course i was talking to the guy and he asked where i got it. I said AT&T being it was $100 cheaper being i bought it at full retail price.
He says you should have gotten it from here, you should return it and re-buy from us. He says they work on non-commish & is just looking out for me? Hahah i chucked at first. So i BS with him and he tells me about this $9.99 accidental insurance plan that they replace the phone even if you took it home and smashed it with a hammer and brought it back in a dust pan. But you have to buy the phone from them. It also can be canceled at any time there is no contract on this like a warranty on a car. Interesting.
So if you figure like me i prefer my phone naked but need a case for accidental drops. You go and spend $40 on a case or even $80 being you will prob buy two maybe even 3. I am super anal with my electronics, but need protection when i go out. Like out drinking with the buds and i "accidentally" fumble the phone on the concrete. So that is either 4 months of worry free coverage or 8 months coverage. Seems to good to be true.
Anyone know anything about this? Or have it?
This may not sound super good for people who bought it at $300 but those of use who bought it for $650 it sounds much better. Ive already seen quite a few cracked screen threads on here.
He wasn't lying he doesnt get paid on commission. But as far as the protection plan its not a bad deal, considering that's there no deductible and you can service it as many times as you want. The only knock in my opinion it doesn't cover lost or stolen.

Yup, thats another thing. There is no deductible which is awesome. I think at&t has a $200 dollar one or something crazy like that. Hell, my Note already slide behind my bed. I fell asleep browsing with it. I have a IKEA bed with a open back headboard and it slipped right down off the wall I heard it i thought it was the Direct TV remote, my heart literally dropped in my stomach!

It is cheaper but if you lose your phone kiss it goodbye... it doesn't cover lost/stolen and honestly. .. They claim as long as your phone has a front facing camera, once reported stolen it snaps a pic of the person who has it in possession. I have it on my SII but haven't lost it (knock on wood).

Exactly. I bought two Galaxy Notes from ATT for retail a few days ago. My GF would rather wait until her upgrade in May and save the $300 so i am gonna return hers to ATT. But i am deff gonna get hers from BB mobile come May with that protection plan.
Like i said i am super anal with my devices so i am not worry about scratching it, more worried about that oh **** moment. I tend to leave my phone on my lap when i drive and forget its there when i get out lol . Id rather take the $40 i would spend on cases and throw that towards the protection for $9.99 a month. Just for piece of mind.
I'm sure i could cut out some dumb stuff to makeup for that $10 bucks a month lol.
Does anybody know how long you have to add that from purchase date? Sounds like a pretty good thing to take a look into.

I bought the 2 year plan also. I paid $170 up front to make it even cheaper.
$170 divided by 24 = about $7.08 a month.

I did this plus the $36 on buyback (only at that price when you buy warranty at time of phone purchase so they say). The piece of mind is the best thing about it plus the buy back gives me atleast the commitment price in 18 months that's pretty nice!

The BB no deductible is cool, but I like the accidental with lost/stolen add-on of AT&T for the same price. Granted that $200 Deductible hurts but I have had more phones lost/stolen than totally destroyed and the Note would be really attractive to thieves.

Got mine from Best Buy yesterday, and I think it's just hardwired into me to decline any sort of extended warranty, and the sales guy wasn't pushy at all so the conversation lasted about 5 seconds. I've never had a phone broken/lost, etc (knock on wood!) but I can see the benefit as long as they are true to their policy. Just can't justify adding $10 a month for it.
Though it's nice to see I have 30 days to change my mind.
my brother also purchased the streak from bb for 99 and paid the one time fee for their coverage and used it for 6 months. He ended up getting the iphone 4 for free and they refunded his full warranty payment minus the 6 months that he used so he ended up making money back from his warranty and got the iphone 4 which was 200 at the time for the price he paid for the streak.
I had their insurance when I purchased my atrix...screen broke 2 months later and it took a month and a half to get a new phone...service was terrible I had no phone for a month and a half.I don't recommend it but its your choice.

the store most likely messed up the processing of the claim... if you sent it in for rapid exchange, the process is 3-5 days. if you send it in to have your unit repaired, the max would be 32-34 days (2-4 days to get to the service center - depends on what day the store ships it or if it is a weekend). at that time they can request a junkout due to it being out to repair for too long...
They also (supposedly) give you a comparable loaner phone while you're waiting...

I dont think they do loaners. Im keeping my insurance with bb until i get the otter box and the screen comes down in price. The insurance is about 240.00 for the 2 years and seems screens are closed to that as it is now. Lost, stolen, water damage and other are of not real worries to me. I have not have a problem that requires a cellphone replacement out of warranty ever! I had cellphones since the earlies 90s.
Does BB check if you flashed your ROM or not? If they do find out that you flashed your ROM, they can deny protection plan warranty right?
Also, can you cancel it anytime? In a span of 2 weeks, my note got replace once. On thursday, it will get replaced again. With this trend, I think BB protection plan is a good idea. They mentioned that if I will have my phone replaced, I could buy BB protection plan (even though I didn't buy it initially) I am planning of buying this protection plan and if I'm sure I got a good reliable galaxy note phone, I will cancel the protection right away. Probably after 2-3 months.
Is that a good plan?
You can cancel anytime when you are in the month to month. That they assured me because that is what I plan to do once I get the otter box and the display replacement drops a little more.
