ZAGG Invisible Shield. Should I buy one?

[yiangoun2112]

Hey guys,

I am considering to buy a Zagg protection for my device.
I have three options.
I keen on the 1st one "Maximum Coverage".
I am asking from someone who use it to share with me his experience.

My questions are:
1. How easy is the installation?
2. Any bubbles after?
3. How about the sense of touch of the device? Is it too glossy?
4. Any serious dissadvantage that I haven't notice?

Thank you in advance for reading that.

maybe just me but have NEVER managed to fit a shield without bubbles.
allegedly phones fitted with gorilla glass, but that wont protect against keys etc in your pocket.
no noticable difference in screen sensetivity.

saying that i still use one to protect my resale value

I dont use them. But I have done that before. Remember to turn your phone of and let it cool down for a short while so it does not atract dust and you don't get buubles . And there is lots of videos in YouTube that shows how to do it right. I have had my dhd almost for a year whithout protection and don't have any scratch still. So even without it you should be fine.

My DHD is 22 months old (since Okt 2010). A month ago, my HTC wore a new chasis (bought it cheap from e-bay). I like the cold furbished metal finish that gives me. Thats the biggest reason I don't want to wear it a plastic Zagg.
From the other hand I am afraid of drops and scratches.
That's my dellima I am trying to anwser with this thread.

I had one on my iPhone when I had it and think they are brilliant!

Easy to fit without bubbles, go for it!!

Depends how much damage you expect is going to occur. I bought one of these at best buy. It does a full lifetime warranty. But its a pain. A week after buying it I had a huge scratch in it. I don't know how. But it shouldn't have scratched so easily. Applying it wasn't hard, but you do get bubbles and corners that wont stay down. What I find best that works is to buy a cheap protector for a tablet or iPad. You get about 5-10 screen protectors for the price of a single one. just cut to fit and apply. Make sure to get the ones with the spray, it cuts application time in half. Just don't use too much or you'll get water under the volume rocker and become bricked.

I put invisible shield on an iPod and a camera screen. In terms of protection, they do their job, but I would recommend against them for a touch-screen phone:

1) it is "sticky" to the touch, your finger doesn't glide across the screen
2) it picks up dirt and grease much more than a normal protector - and is difficult to clean/keep clean
3) it's "relatively" easy to apply, since you will wet it and then just place it on the screen, and iron out bubbles with a credit card or similar. HOWEVER, you will end up with an "orange peel" finish, which looks ugly and makes it difficult to view your screen.

Instead, get a good quality screen protector like Brandon (one that will cost approx €10), it will last longer without scratching than the cheap ebay ones, and as a result it will probably last the life of the phone.

I just bought one last week from Amazon and I am waiting for it to arrive.

 

[yiangoun2112]

Thank you all, so far, guys. I 'll stay with cheap screen protectors, and the leather case with the metallic stand.

 

[kBTWOFOUR]

Update.

The screen protector arrived a couple of weeks ago and I installed it right away. It was easy to install and I like the quality of the screen protector. I would recommend this screen protector to other owners. I plan on buying one for my Nexus 4.

I have install the invisible shield only on display without any bubbles. This was easy. Today, after two years, the shield have protect my DHD display very good.

I would buy the ZAGG products again.
