Invisible SHIELD

reviewed by Ken Crockett

So I got an email a few weeks ago from a great company: InvisibleShield. They make some pretty sweet device protectors, now why did they contact me well, they are pretty well known for their iPod InvisibleShield.

Now when I think of screen protectors, I usually shy away from them, one reason why it always makes the screen look really bad in a way. Like the screen looks smeared and I like my products and I donÕt like seeing that I want to see a crisp clear screen.

So the good people over at InvisibleShield sent me a screen shield for my T-Mobile Samsung T-309 and one for a Tungsten E from Palm. Now I only really used one of them, which was the Cell phone screen shield. Applying this seems like it is really hard, but in reality it is not. I was a little intimidated because it had a spray bottle a squeegee and the shields. But I quickly read the instructions and realized how easy this would be.

First off you have to peel the shield carefully make sure not to get a corner to fold over onto the rest of the shield the cause the adhesive is really sticky at first and it is kind of hard to get it to un-stick from itself, then all you need to do it take the cap off the spray, spray one to two shots of the spray onto the protector, what is really cool is that if a dog or a baby were to get right in the line of shot of the spray you donÕt need to worry it will not irritate eyes and it is not toxic, now you donÕt want to feed it to them but it wont hurt them if they getting into it and ingest some.

Then all you have to do is take the side that was/is the adhesive side and apply it to the screen, take the squeegee that they send with it and firmly press down and slide it across the surface of the shield, and youÕre all set! Now if there are any bubbles or anything like that donÕt take the shield off and try all over again, as much as you might hate it. Give the shield about 2 days and it works itself out. Now what really made me think this thing is way too good to be true, is the fact that you can try and scratch the screen with keys and it wonÕt scratch it. I have seen people claim this and it has never worked. And even before receiving the shields and applying them I saw InvisableShieldÕs video over at their site. Heck I even took a pocket knife to it and of course I did not apply all my pressure on it I did push pretty hard and dragged it across sure enough it didnÕt make a mark!

Now what I did with the PDA screen protector, was I took a pen to it, most plastic screen shields canÕt withstand the pressure of a pen trying to push thru. Well I took some pictures shown below that show how hard it is to break. The pen never made it through, and I took both ends of the shield and tried to pull them apart and stretch the shield while I could only pull it so far, then it went right back to its original shape.

I would have to say the Good people over at InvisableShield have renewed my faith in screen protectors for my devices.
