Invisible Shield
Update: The company claims that the bubbles come out of the shield within 2-3 days. While they are correct that the bubbles come out, it took about 10 days for mine. I didn’t mind waiting, I just thought the bubbles wouldn’t come out since after 5 days they were still pretty bad but now they’re basically all gone. My warning to Treo users is that the shield will, over time, creep around a little bit. This isn’t a problem anywhere except on the back of the phone - removing the back to replace the battery becomes a bit of a chore, but it’s really not too bad and this isn’t something I do very often.
I love my Treo (700p) - sometimes I love it too much and it gets overused (scratched, beat up). I have always thought about getting some type of covering for it but I don’t want to make it bulkier than it already is.
Enter the Invisible Shield from ShieldZone. I’m trying it out to see if it will stay or go. Here is my analysis:
Pro’s:
1) Adds no bulk to an already chunky phone.
2) Doesn’t stick to my pocket - a big problem with the silicone iPod cases.
3) Doesn’t interfere with typing since this part of the phone isn’t covered.
4) Seems to be really good at resisting scratches.
Con’s:
1) For some people the pricetag may be high - $25 for a treo jacket and most video iPods. If it delays having to buy a new one for a few months, though, it’s probably worth it.
2) Application was very difficult - I couldn’t get all the airbubbles out. For this reason alone I would suggest getting it done in a mall where they will install it for you. It costs a few dollars more but would definitely be worth it. (Update: all the bubbles were gone within 10 days)
3) It doesn’t really protect your device from falls, crashes, etc. It is more for protection against scratching, spilling something on it, etc.
