So I just got the ZAGG InvisibleShield for my i9300 for 29,95€, and I must say it was one of the most wasteful 30€ of my life. The cut is horrid, not covering large parts of the screen. Also why would they cut a hole for the led light? :confused:

My recommendation: STAY AWAY(at least until they fix it, which I doubt they will).

Getting a Copter one tomorrow as a replacement.

Same experience here, paid about 15 ponds. The material is made of soft plastic, absolutely visible, looking from an angle at it, it looks like the Himalayan mountains. The fit is indeed very poor not covering the whole from side, thus making it prone to peel off. Going back to the cheaper protective shields.

Had mine on order with a case so now cancelled that order and will wait for better reviews :)

Chears, smart decision! I am waiting for the original flip cover, so bought the Zagg as an intermediate protection, however since it's such a bad solution I took it of immediately. Get some shield on though... the S3 has such a pretty screen.

Of course - I did have a ZAGG on my old Smartphone which was very good so maybe when they have sorted them I'll put my order in again - maybe a cheapo will do for now :)

I'll post one tomorrow. :) Don't have my DSLR at home right now.
Thanks, looking forward to it. Will have a $20 best buy gift card when I pick up the phone and I want to see if its worth it to use on the Zagg. Maybe they will have fixed them, or yours was a bad cut

Don't waste your money, they are all cut in the exact same way, leaving the glass over the led light, around the front camera(and speaker) and home button, bare.

Why would you want the zagg in those places anyway? especially the front camera, with the orange peel texture and all

I don't want the zagg to cover the camera or the sensors, but I do want it to cover the area around them, which it currently does not do(it actually leaves the whole area above the speaker, sensors and camera completely naked). The copter I bought is cut in almost the exact same way, only it doesn't have a hole for the led light.

OH so are you basically saying its a large rectangle JUST for the screen?

(either way, I'll check back for your photo of it :) Not sure what else to use the gift card for lol)


edit: for a zagg type wet installation shield, I might even consider this - http://www.spigen.com/spigen-sgp-samsung-galaxy-s3-screen-protector-steinheil-flex-series.html

from the photo it looks like it will cover more of the screen. Steinheil make great screen protectors. Only issue is that I cant use the giftcard for it

Not only that, but the orange peel effect it gets is horrendous. Not sure if they're available for this device yet but XtremeGuard protectors > Zagg all day. Got mine for my Atrix 2 for $2 shipped on Amazon.
