I have been talking about a few cases that I have used. Now I am going to talk about the one I actually like and use. It is the invisibleSHIELD. I love it and it works very well. It is a plastic film which covers the entire iPhone. It protects against scratches mainly. I think it offers some protection against dropping the iPhone, but probably not as much as other 'regular' cases do. Similar products are BodyGuardz and BestSkinsEver.
Whats in the box?
1. The front screen shield
2. The back shield
3. Small pieces for the home button, and the top and bottom metal rounded edges.
4. Solution application spray
5. Air bubble squegee.
Installation is a little tricky. It took me about 45 minutes. Installation stpes:
1. Remove the film from it's backing.
2. Spray the sticky side of the film liberally with the solution spray.
3. Line up film with iPhone and apply.
4. Hold each corner down for about 5 minutes to ensure it sticks. If it doesn't stick, spray some more solution on it and hold again.
5. Do the same for the front piece.
6. Use the squeegee to get rid of any air bubbles.
7. Let sit for 12-24 hrs - or so. Seemed fine after a couple hours.
Here is a video on its 'features' and installation
Why do I like it?
The main reason I like the invisibleSHIELD is that the protects the phone and maintains the sleek look of the iPhone. All other cases ruin the look of the iPhone. If you use a different case, what you have is an ugly phone with awesome features. The shield totally protects against all scratches. It also gives you a little better grip on the phone when you are holding it. I have to recommend this to everyone that doesn't have it.
My setup:
I am using the back shield on my iPhone and the Anti-Glare Screen protector. I don't use the invisibSHIELD front screen protector because I like how the one I already have reduces glare and fingerprints.
Cost:
It's $24.95 for the front and back protector. You can also find it on ebay for about the same price including shipping. I ordered mine from the manufacturer. I paid $1.80 for shipping and it took about 2 weeks. They also have a free shipping option but their website says it could take up to 4 weeks if using the free shipping. They also ship by fedex and ups I think, but why pay $20 for shipping. If you live in Vancouver and plan on going the States soon, I know they sell it at a apple authorized reseller called 'The Mac Store' in Redmond Town Centre.
Here are some photos of my iPhone with the invisibleSHIELD on. Look closely, it's hard to tell that it's on. You can see the how it holds onto the corner. You can also see how it looks a little shiney with it on.
