Default 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.
