The Zagg Invisible Shield is a film that goes over your device. If you do decide to order this for your device let me just tell you that installing the Invisible Shield is HARD, it is really hard if it's your first time. You need a lot a patience. My suggestion for installing it, is doing it after a hot shower. This will eliminate the dust factor of the installation. Also for the corner edges they have to hold it for about 5 min, a better way is to let the spray dry a bit and then press them down, then just get a rubber band and wrap it around the corners. And another suggestion is just take your time, I order the Front and Back Shield and both of them took me over half and hour to install. So just be patience.


Pro's

The Pro's of this Product. It is really durable. If you search on youtube you can find videos of the Zagg guy's dropping bowling balls on it, stacking weightson it, trying to shove a pen through the shield, and a bunch of there stuff. It does offer very good protection. Since it's covering the device. It is pretty hard to scratch the film, and it kinda adds a little cushion on impact. The grip it adds it great. It is a noticable improvement but it doesn't add enough grip to have your pocket come out with you when your pulling it out of your pocket. The front it very easy to apply and the application solution gives you a lot a room for mistake.

Con's

The Con's of the Invisible Shield is that it doesn't cover the whole Iphone (don't know about the other ones) they leave the top and some of the side of the chrome bezel uncovered and the four corners on the back aren't covered. When you apply the shield there is an what people call and orange peel affect, which for me didn't go away. An orange peel affect is when the surface look a little lumpy like and orange peel. Also they say you can't scratch the thing I tried to scratch it and well it left a mark and I don't know how this happend, about a month later I noticed on the back some of the skin had been scratched off. After two months the corners started to peel off and collect dust which gradually started to peel the whole side off. The chrome bezel cover also started to move and collect dust. Another place that started to collect dust was the back four corners. The back is very hard to put on and if the film touches each other without the spray on solution it over the glue or what ever they have is going to one of the side it touch and it basiclly garbage. The application solution worrys the heck out of me when I was installing it. Liquid+ Exspensive Electronic Devies = @#$%

These things are just from my personal experiance. Remember it's alway easier to find bad things than good things. Would I recommend this product? Yes I would the payoff for your hard work installing it is well worth it, and the protection it phenomenal. There are some design flaws that they could fix to make it a REALLY good. But nothings perfect and this is no exception.

Durability 5/5 - The film is strong it isn't impossible to break but really close to it.

Protection 4/5 -There are areas that are not covered.

Button Access 5/5 - The buttons are really easy to access since it just a thin lay of film covering the Iphone.

Look 0/5 - Since you cant see it, it's a clear film.

Feel 5/5 - It feels really good adds a little grip and some bounce.

Overall 4/5 - Not including the Look part
