Invisible Shield

I featured the Zagg’s Invisible Shield for the iPhone as the gadget of the week during last week’s Dot Com Pho. Since then I’ve put the shield on my iPhone, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. The Invisible Shield is a skin of virtually indestructible film that will protect your expensive blogging equipment from unsightly scratches, dings, keys, etc. It’s main selling point is that it’s invisible (hence the name) and adds almost no weight to your equipment.

Invisible Shields are customcut to fit your hardware perfectly. It is so tough that Zagg backs it with a lifetime guarantee. If it ever does wear or scratch, Zagg will replace it for free, for the life of your device. Below is a video showing what happens when you key an iPhone with and without an Invisible. I’ve also included an video of Gary and me installing an Invisible Shield on my MacBook pro.

scratches ouch!

I thought you already did something on the Invisible Shield.

I love Iphone so much it brings out the best in me.

Need to get an iphone first

I saw recently some crash tests for iPhone. That was pretty sick. The guy was really exageratted. And the iPhone quit eventually.

You know what they say, the smartest one quits first.

I tried this stuff on my laptop and it worked great. Look into this if you haven't already!

That stuff really works great I had it on my iphone, and I have it on my 3G

Interesting but does this really that worked? i mean they can guaranteed to give you fully protection that have no gap and weakness?

Interesting. I have no use for it right now, but maybe in the near future I will.

After my friend dropped his Iphone last night and completely ruined the screen, I will have to look into getting one of these for mine.

Pretty, cool. Now all I have to do is get me an iphone :)

Good tip, I will follow and see. Thanks

I don't need this protection... coz I don't have IPhone..hehehe

Pretty sweet material and concept! The second video makes it look pretty time consuming to put on versus a simple rubber case or something.

they are must need able things for a gadget...

By the way, I would like to inform you that they have one of the best affiliate programs. You will see really big commissions if you advertise their skins deliberately. Easy selling easy profits :) I am in my positive mood today to give my income source hints for free :)

Yep, it's great. I'm getting one for my iPod...

The invisibleSHIELD is the best thing you can buy for your iPhone! It's even better when you add it to all your other gadgets like John's MacBook Pro and MBA. Thanks to ZAGG for sponsoring this review!

Good tip, I will follow and see. Thanks

its a good thing, it use to be in my google referrals but since google discontinued the referral program it no longer there

Does anyone consider banged up, scratched hardware a badge of honor? Like saying your life is your less "Sex In The City" and more "Indiana Jones". Get some mud on your shoes!

I need to get an iphone first :)

I have tried putting this on my iPod Touch, and it was the most frustrating thing I have ever done with technology. I was really bad at it too, I had to dilute it when I ran out of solution the first few tries. What a mess it was, but I eventually got it on my iPod and it works amazingly.

I was thinking to put it on my Mac, but I don't know if I really want to do it all over again after the first mess!

I know this is a big challenge, you might not get it right the first few times... just do it slowly.

Good protection,thanks for the recommendation

I could've sworn I have been reading that the Invisible Shield pretty much sucks with Apple products because of the "rounded edges". Of course the shield really does protect, but I heard the edges are hard to wrap around and it usually pops up or hold a lot of lint if you put it in your pocket.

That has more to do with the installer than the product. I had no problem wrapping my shield around the edge of my iPhone.

Really? I never used it, but just heard that it's difficult to wrap on a Apple product because of the round edges. I guess it could be the person doing it :P

-Mike

May be you should read carefully about the installation instruction or get someone with experience...

or

You may buy few and practice yourself :P

Nice Im going to buy one for my BOLD hahahahaha

Ugh, I want one of these so bad. My chubby-rubber case is totally cramping my style.

Use Invisible Shield if you do not want to see your computer anymore. lol

Mario

This looks a lot better than some of the other products I've seen. The one gripe I have about the iPhone/iPod Touch is that the screen soaks up fingerprints and gets greasy so fast. It looks like this product solves that problem.

I want to have it! Did it sell in other countries?

Same question. I think it does have huge market in other countries too. Is this going to be sold in other countries? Are some partnership options available?

Very useful. I use a similar thing for covering the screen of my Palm Pilot to prevent scratches. I wonder if are invisible shields for cell phones.

We use Invisible Shield now on all our products! Thanks for the recommendation John....

You need to show Darren how to put one on. I talked to him yesterday on Ustream, and he's not putting one on his new MBP because the one he put on his iPhone is all jacked up.

The mistake people make when installing the shield is not using enough solution. You have to get the thing really wet so it moves around easily. If you feel it sticking the instant it goes on, you need more solution!

Pretty cool product. I bet them mofos are rich.

yeah this invisible thing is quite interesting. good protection ;)

Pretty sweet material and concept! The second video makes it look pretty time consuming to put on versus a simple rubber case or something.

It does take longer to install than a simple rubber case but you only need to do it once and it looks great once it's installed.

Cool John! Now you can throw your iPhone to the dog when it tried to bite you...!

I certainly want one for my iPhone...

wtf that's pretty wild lol, i bought the diamond last week and its already scratched

Dang, sucks to have scratches so soon =(

yea it does, but i just checked out zagg and they have one for my phone so i might get it :)

I hate scratches
