Default Protection shield recommendation

Hi all,

searching for an invisible, thin protection film for my Topaz I found this website

http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/htc-tou...s-shields.html

It is exactly the same shield you might know from other manufacturers, but look at the price: 6.99 and free shipping included!

To make it short: Delivery was fast, the product is excellent (I have one of those expensive ones on my iPod so I can compare), and the installation is very easy. They even have an explaining video on their website.

I can recommend this product to everyone.

It's ok to me to say what you think. But I really think their product is as good as the much more expensive ones and that's what I wanted to share. BTW I dit not apply for the refund...

I have these too, and have found them excellent, however, the screen protector part is a little too "rubbery" for my taste - I feel that my fingers don't slide about as easily on the screen, therefore, I use the gadget shieldz for back and sides of the device and the standard HTC screen protector on the front - gives me best of both worlds IMHO

Yup.. exactly. I tested my friend's Cruise too, with the screen covered with it too. Totally unacceptable for me on the screen. Using a stylus makes it much worse.. so I applied it on the back only.

My friend's Cruise apparently had Invisible Shield.. and I think the rubbery-ness is about the same. I do however feel that GadgetShieldz has less wavy effect, thus, it looks better

Price-wise.. forget IS. Ya don't need the fancy packaging, spray bottle or a card. GS is worthit.

After seeing Mask post from another thread on the matt cover, i had order and using gadget shieldz now...
I had Invisiable shield on my previous Diamond 1.
Overall, i feel gadget shield is thinner than Invisiable Shield.... better feel, less rubbery....
but on gadget shield seems easier to be srcatch or stretch...
i had some stretch mark when i try hard to push the air bubbles.
This stretch marks is ugly as it is on the front screen area....

Just have to be extra careful during application of the shield

I also got the gadget shield, but my main problem is that it is about 2mm off on all sides. So I have small gaps between the pieces. Does invisible shield have the same problem?

You mean 2mm smaller than the device? I though that's normal..
I only applied at the back, so it's not a problem for me..

so does anyone who has tried out invisibleshield have problems with it not fitting perfectly because if it doesn't have problems I might buy one.
