It'll really be more of a preference thing than anything.

I got my bodyguardz today, and it took about 20 min to install (I've had much fun with three invisibleshield for my tablet pc, so this was nothing new ). I listened to all the complains about the screen area, and left the stock protector

I hate that orange peel look with PASSION, and there's no way I'd even consider invisibleshield. Their customer service was awesome though. But with two bodyguardz sets, I won't need to deal with customer reps for a while

I don't think it's worth $25, but since I plan to buy neither a case nor a holster, this is really a necessity (partly for the resale value to save up for that nice winmo-7-capacitive-touch-android-dual-booting monster that'll hopefully come out in a year or two). Most cases defeat the purpose of having a flush screen.

True. Uck. I saw my friend's TouchPro with invisibleSHIELD, it did look like an orange peel. Go figure. I just installed the other one with bodyguardz also. The only gripe I have is the triangle in the back doesn't have a separate piece and the d-pad circle doesn't have a piece at all.

Is the protector for the screen area really that bad, even after several days?
What I now see is that the bodyguardz protector is a LOT less prone to fingerprints

well bodyguardz been doing great on my phone i only got one complain, god i hate the dirt build up by the areas not covered by the bodyguardz, i know there isnt anything that could be done about that, other than some wipes and compress air to this badboy but its kinda buggs me and another thing too is i notice my front screen protector is cut bad cuz i place on there almost perfect like a 90% perfect and the ear piece is slightly overed and so is the light sensor which i think bothers my phone during phone calls but it doesnt bother my screen from getting auto bright.

Other than those cons listed, how's the screen quality compared to the stock screen protector? I'm seriously considering it to avoid the fingerprint madness.

OK, the fingerprints drove me nuts, and I did the forbidden deed.
I installed the bodyguardz screen protector!

Well, I messed up the first time by accidentally folding it inward
So I used the second piece, but I made the same mistake
I applied it anyway, and it's got some dirt and wrinkles underneath.

I think this is better than the stock protector. I like the amount of drag it gives (smoother than invisibleshields), AND THE FACT THAT I AM NOT GETTING KILLED BY FINGERPRINTS ANYMORE makes this a winner

Is there any coupon for bodyguardz for this Christmas?, I saw one for Invisible Sheild, but I am more towards bodyguardz based on the reviews.

Thanks

Default Invisible Sheild 30% off

Invisible sheild is giving 30% off there entire site till Dec. 31 2008
using the coupon "SITEWIDE30". I am still thinking to go for it or not, as I am interested in Bodyguardz. Is it worth it going for invisibleShield with 30% off when compared to BodyGuardz?
