invisibleSHIELD - Look it up for the Diamond my mate got it and it hardly shows any finger prints even after a days use and smudges whilst retaining the sheen of the device, also your back and front will be fully protected whilst keeping its form factor... if you have microscopic scratches like mine on screen that are obvious in well light conditions they will also disappear after application- ordered mine already...
Review and good pics... http://joeygadget.com/2007/08/15/on...-shield-screen-protector-for-iphone-and-treo/
They are available on ebay in most countries for Diamond - make sure you get the legit one as I am sure there are **** counterfits...
The ones for the iPhone are very hard to install and keep all of the little bubbles out, have plenty of patience when installing.
Although it is tough, the appearance after installation is extremely ugly.
Esp the screen.( no more grossy). I finally uninstalled it ( my wife said that my diamond is very ugly after the invisible shield, looks like an old PPC) and use other anti scratch screen protector and silicon case for body protection.
I have invisible shield for both 3g iphone and touch diamond...installation was easy actually but it doesnt look nice....u can tell theres something on the screen.
Would not recommend
I've already ordered one but couldn't installed it properly. It was very very hard and although I tried to be very carefully, still a lot of bubbles remained under the iShield. I put it off again and now I've got no screen protector anymore. Instead I use the original pocket case to wear the Diamond in my pocket. I think my fingers won't be able to scratch the display when touching it
Thanks for all the feedback
Interesting after install my friends one looked alright to me... hmmm I will post some pics after install and post my findings...
Anyone have a positive experience?
My friend's iPhone 3G looks MINT with it, literally can't tell it's there... But it was a ***** to install, especially around the corners.
I got one the other day and i'm sending it back, it looks apawling, far from invisible. I followed the instructions to the letter but couldn't get all of the little bubbles out, plus it just generally makes an expensive phone look like a piece of plastic junk.
Another thing is it doesn't actually cover the corners of the front of the phone so when i dropped mine the other day the corner got scratched.
Personally I wont use InvisibleSheild again as I believe their claims do not live up to the actual real world application.

Might make it look plastic, but I really can't say since my friend's iPhone IS plastic. Heh hopefully yours works out better, OP.
Mixed Views
Such mixed views - I have a feeling its down to having the patience to do the install properly - same my mates Diamond looks mint... hmmm
I had one of these for my Diamond and wasn't happy at all. I'm a very patient person but after a while it was just getting on my nerves. Trying to get it to bend around the case without leaving any air bubbles was just impossible. The parts that did stick down OK didn't look that nice either. It has a strange rubbery feel to it that I just don't like at all. I ended up ripping it off in frustration. Looked at their site and you can get your money back but you have to send it off to the states and I can't be bothered with the hassle or cost so I've just chalked it up as experience and will not recommend the product to anyone at all.
i bought and installed it right after getting my diamond. you can definetly see
that there's a protection layer on it and i wasn't at all satisfied for the first
week or so after application because the invisible shield felt sticky. it took me
the better part of 2 hours to get it right with no bubbles.
it's been some weeks now since installation and i'm pretty happy with the
shield. the stickyness is gone almost completely. i still can't slide my fingers or
stylus as smoothly over the touchscrees as without the shield tho.
in the end it's worth it for me because the device won't get any scratches at
all and i really hate scratches on my shiny devices

Would be great if you can post some pics front and back at a few angles in high light - not too much too ask surely lol oh and maybe put a cherry on top.
But seriously some pics would be great...
Everyone go to zagg.com/theshack.
This is supposed to be expired but its still spitting out codes. Use any bogus employee code ( really put anything in), then just use an email that hasent been used yet. I've tested it out already so it works. Just use the code quick

Hey thanks! I just ordered the full body kit, came out to 9 bucks after shipping
are they any good?
i dint work on the custom invisible shields covers and other stuff i wanted to try ..neither the battery thing ...
So many people say its a PAIN IN THE ASS to get them on.
Well I will take mine to the mall where they have a kiosk for invisible shields they will put em on for ya for free and if they f up or you don't like the way they do it, they'll give. You a new one for free
I have always used bodyguardz.com. They cover the entire phone, and easy to put on. 2 full body sets 24 bones. Custom cut for each phone, and work great.
Heh, I've had a zagg full body for my Hero for probably about like 2 weeks probably longer. Its still sitting on my kitchen counter...
@jvz -
Sure, it's a PITA to get them on, but the alternatives aren't exactly much easier. Each brand is slightly different, but overall results are comperable.
ZAGG -- Most recent purchase (month ago) included a 'sponge' as a fluid applicator, plenty of fluid in the 'cup' that held it, and was a nearly perfect fit for the screen area on my Sprint Hero. Yes, the InvisibleShield feels a bit 'tacky' after first application, moreso than Bodyguardz, but most of the excess friction (and any remaining cloudiness under the cover -- minimal) seems to go away after a few days. Overall, ZAGG does exactly what it claims. Caveat: if you get particles between the screen and the cover during application, either live with them, or get a new cover and start over -- if you try to 'lift' it and re-apply you will end up making things worse. Apply it well the first time, and you are good to go.
Bodyguardz -- Most recent purchase (6 months ago) included a 'pump-spray bottle' as a fluid applicator, and perhaps not quite enough fluid for applying a full body set, although the bottle could be refilled from the tap a few times. (most applicator fluids are nothing more than water with a drop or so of a lubricant like baby shampoo). The screen piece fit my old Touch Pro just fine, but the body pieces were in many cases a few millimeters too long or too short, depending -- not perfect coverage. The pieces are easier to 'slide around' during application than say, the ZAGG shield, but you will still risk trapping particles if you feel the need to 'lift' and start again. Apply it right the first time -- no matter that brand. Overall, the 'feel' of the Bodyguardz was excellent beginning on day one -- visibility was initially marred by cloudiness that went away within a few days. The body pieces began to pickup dirt and peel within a few weeks, although the screen and button pieces stayed admirably affixed until removal.
ZAGG vs Bodyguardz -- No winner. Different, but similar, including performance under various lighting conditions. ZAGG might be slightly harder to install, but not by much. Bodyguardz might feel 'smoother' on day one, and ZAGG might look 'clearer' on day one, but by a week in they are practically indistinguishable to anyone who isn't used to the subtle differences.
/2cents
I personally use wrapsol. I tried both invisible shield and wrapsol. Invisible shield is a solid product but after a few months, it starts to turn yellow and it starts to feel rubbery. Application is a pain in the ass to install for invisible shield but rather easy on wrapsol. They stop selling the front screen protector for wrapsol, all they sell now is the full body protection kit.
Just my two cents
Regardless how well they work, you won't find anything like this for 6.25 (plus shipping and handling)
I just ordered 3 and it was 24 dollars and some change.
Thank you for this post!
great find, wanted to get one before just didnt want to pay full price,
I too ordered one !!
I just hope they will ship to india without any problems
I ordered 2, 15.49. Can't beat it.

wish i would of seen this last week when i bought my hero. oh well i only paid $22 for it at bestbuy.
I ordered two and they got here for $15.
I just opened the packages and am having a hard time with it. I haven't even started trying to apply them, I am just trying to decide if I even want to.
They feel really grippy. The whole point of the touch screen is that it is smooth as silk so your fingers slide across it easy. With this zagg stuff, I am not sure that they will.
Also, I have the sprint hero. It has that sort of charcoal brown finish on the back. It is really smooth and nice feeling. It is actually my favorite thing about the phone.
After applying this zagg stuff, the phone will now be glossy and not smooth anymore. There is no way around it. I was hoping these films might show up and when they harden, feel as hard and slick as glass. Instead, I am faced with the choice of taking away the properties of my phone that I am in love with, for the advantage of keeping it scratch resistant (two month and no scratches anyway...)
What do you guys think? Anyone feel the same way I do?

i never buy the full body skins. i only buy the screen one, that's all you need. just be careful how wet the phone gets when applying, i killed a brand new palm pre once.
anyways it will feel a bit sticky for awhile, like a day. after that you won't notice a big difference in touch and feel. i do know when i first put mine on my hero, the screen acted funny for about an hour until it sorta dried, like the touch wasn't responsive. it's perfectly fine now.
Thank you thank you thank you. The website says 75% off a single item, so I didn't even bother trying to add more. Damn, paid extra $3 for another shipment. Still, I saved $37 off retail, so still not a bad deal at all. Have used these and recommend them all around; they do have a kinda weird texture, yeah, but they're almost bullet-proof.
Hey again!
I apologize if this has been [kind of] covered and I've read through some of the other threads about skins, but I wanted to know if anyone has gotten a Casemate Vroom for their N1 and your thoughts?
I got a silicone case/screen protector from ebay, mad cheap (like $4), and it does the job, but I want to get something that looks nice as well. The screen protector I have on this works well, surprisingly, since it was paired with this cheap case, but I dropped the phone straight on its face today (just a flat plop, but it was only 1-2 feet) and the case did its job, but got me rethinking.
With that said, I like the look of the Vroom as it adds a little flare to the phone as well as functionality, so I wanted to see peoples' thoughts. Thanks!
If anyone has this, please let me know. I am really considering buying one, but I wanted feedback if anyone has this.
I have one. It's an ok case, here are my pros and cons:
Pro's:
- It's a good looking case, when it's not all dusty and covered with stuff ( see cons ).
- It will protect the phone well in the event of a drop.
- It's easy to grip.
Con's:
- It's rubber, so it attracts every piece of dust, lint, whatever may be around.
- The top portion actually blocks the light sensors of the phone so if you use the auto adjusting backlight it's not going to work. Also it doesn't shut the screen off when it's close to your face while on the phone, then illuminate it when you pull the phone away from your face. I thought about cutting this top piece off with a razor blade, but I haven't done it yet because I don't feel like making the case look like crap...
I'm a car guy, so that's the main reason I bought the case. I figured it would be sweet to use when I go to shows/track. That's probably the only time I will use it though.
Hope that helps you.
Is it really covering the sensor? the picture looks like it isnt...
Anyways OP check this case out, this is what I got, it fits perfectly, looks great, and cheap! Definitely the best bang for the buck.
The seller is pretty good by the way, I got my order in 3days.
http://cgi.ebay.com/HARD-CASE-SILIC...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5d28bb22ee
Also available in, blue, green and pink
I used this case for the first few weeks I owned the phone. I do really like the design of the case, however I found that after a few weeks it becomes loose due to the material used for it. Also, they have since released a new version in the past week that no longer covers the sensors, but in doing so it looks as if it reduces the area it covers on the phone. This worries me that due to the material used it may have issues with staying properly seated on the phone once the material has loosened. Another note on the material is that it is very grabby. By that I mean that if you put it into a pocket it is a little tough to take it back out. Other than that all of the proper areas are cut out and sit well.
I have since switched to their Gelli case which I now prefer. It is a harder material, and doesn't have the issue of stretching or loosening. It also shows off the phone more, as it is a clearer smoke style material.
Thanks for the feedback. I didn't realize that it covered the sensors (at least the pics on the website still show the old one). I'll take a look into the ones you've suggested. Thanks guys!
Yah , found out that the older version did cover the sensor. But the new ones don't.

Just ordered one of these, it's the coolest looking case by far but I never ordered because of the proximity sensor being covered, seems they have fixed that now as there is a new version on their website so we'll see how it is when it gets here. It's the first case I'm actually looking forward to getting for the Nexus, just don't seem to be many stylish cases for it like there are for the iPhone.
I've had my phone for a few weeks now with a case on it (body glove mirage). The case is really good, but every time I have to take it off for something I'm reminded how much better the phone feels with no case on it.
I'm curious, has anyone kept it naked? How well has it held up? I'm wondering if anyone who's done this now has scratches or anything on the metal back of the phone.
Thanks!
Mine has been naked since i got it on launch day - still looks new without a single mark on it. I have put my keys in my pocket with it a couple times, but i move them when I realize it.
No scratches on glass, metal or plastic.
I've got butterfingers so for me the case keeps me from tossing he phone across the room when I take it out of my pocket. Plust without it the phone almost feels too light

Hmm. This is promising lol. I do keep it in a pocket with nothing else. I used to keep my iPhone 3g in with my keys. The back did not enjoy that, though the front stayed relatively scratch free.

I've dropped phones before too, thankfully not my Captivate yet. I just played with it without the case some more and it just makes life so much easier. A lot less reaching.
It's so tough. I've never used cases before because I hate the way all of them feel and the width they add. But I also don't want to destroy my phone like my 3G lol.
If you keep it naked don't drop it! The glass is supposed to be tough and scratch resistant but the paint on the metal back plate scratches easily and the plastics get dings when it hits the ground. I droped my phone twice in one day and now have a ding in each corner. That's 2 dings each time I lost hold of it. Now it has one of those film protectors front back and sides. And I have the body gloves case that I go back and forth between.

I have also had mine without a case/screen protector since launch day. the only noticeable scratches are light ones at the top and bottom where it curves on the plastic body. other than that, the screen and back are perfect. I have dropped mine a few times, but its usually about from 2-3' up, nothing like a 6' drop.
Interesting stuff. I think ultimately I'll decide to keep the case on. Because I know that one time I drop it or get a decent scratch I'm going to be cursing myself out for not having it on there lol.
Side question: How well do we think these phones will hold their value?
I ask because I was able to sell my 3g on ebay for $130 even though the screen was dead, the camera was dead, and it was really scratched up. Not bad since I paid 200 for it a year and a half before!

That's the one good thing about buying Apple ANYTHING. It holds its value like crazy. I can tell you from experience that the 1 year old HTC Hero can still fetch 200 bucks. A Samsung Moment can get about $150.
The Captivates are selling on Ebay right now for about $400.
My 3G got scuffed on the back from pulling it in and out of a belt holster that was lined. I finally decided no more holsters.
As for value - I got $190 for my 8GB 3G. It is hard to say about these. Lots of people want contract free phones. Since the captivate has top notch hardware with 16GB internal and expandable storage, I think it is a good value.
If we can unlock them after Froyo (AT&T said they would after 90 days to me anyway) then I think I can get my $150 back I paid for the phone maybe more.
It is all about supply and demand. I am amazed someone paid what they did for my 3G - it is old hardware, but Apple has people fooled. iPhone 4 is going for $900 on eBay - crazy stuff. As long as Apple doesn't sell an unlocked US version contract free, the prices will stay sky high on iPhone. Captivate, not so much. The non-contract price is about $500 so in 2 years what will people pay for a used one?
Well it really depends which network and which phone I think the captivate being the only decent android on at&t will last a bit longer than maybe the vibrant and other variants like the fascinate or epic whose carriers embrace high end android phones

i go no case.....had my iphone 3g with no case for probably a year and a half, and now i am running a naked captivate also. I actually like the feel of a case better, but have yet to find one i feel like investing in....and it looks so awesome without a case!!
I absolutely love my Body Glove case. It's the best mobile device case I've ever used, and I've had a cell phone for thirteen years.
I kept my first captivate naked for the first three days and noticed that my "Scratch Resistant Gorilla Glass" couldn't hold up to three days in the pocket of my slacks by itself. I was just beside myself as I've had an iphone without a screen protector since the phone launched, and never saw a scratch otherwise.
Seems to me that between the iPhone 4 and Captivate both having threads and threads of scratched devices, Corning needs to rethink the Gorilla Glass formula. Whatever the 3GS screen cover was made of should be the standard. I beat the hell out of that phone and not one scratch to be seen.
I really liked the phone design and lines so I went with zagg max protection. It's just like the screen protector but covers the whole body of the phone, it has no shock protection but its virtually scratch proof.

Naked since day 1. With the exception of 2x 3"x1/4" eGrips strips I put on the back cover sides to prevent me from fumbling the phone like a wet bar of soap. Love the thin-ness and the egrips don't hinder "pocketability".
Had the Sony X10 then switched to the Captivate. I go naked just keep loose change and keys in other pocket. Love the thinness of the phone. Still searching for that perfect skin. Tried a few but just make the phone bulky. A lot of the wear and tear of a phone has to do with your job and lifestyle. Learning to adapt to how you work or play and also how soon you want another phone(gadget lust) plays a part. I tend to sell/trade a newly released phone within 6 months so I try to keep them like new. But to each his own.

been naked for about a week now and havnt got a scratch on my screen yet so i dont know u did to get your scratch. but i do still want a case just havnt got around to getting one yet and my phone is holding up just fine.
It's been a while since many of us got the Nexus S. For those of you that decided to go without a screen protector how is your screen now? We know its not Gorilla glass and there has been some debate if one is needed or not. So naked people, how's your screen today? (If you purchased the phone like 4 days ago please ignore this. I'm more curious about people that have had the phone since launch or close to launch)

Beautiful and scratch/mar free.
Been running naked screen since 12/16 with no regrets.
Got my phone mid-January, and I decided to play it safe. Ghost Armor. Love it and it works great.

Ghost Armor interested me, but there's no kiosk near here in Los Angeles.
I used to be really good at installing Zagg full bodies and other brands of screen only, but I messed up my last Zagg attempt (my i9000) and am not 100% happy with the outcome, but not unhappy enough to re-do it, so not sure I want to invest the time and money to go with the GA, especially since I would not put it on the screen, just the back.
I used screen protector on my previous phones (G1, nexus one, G2). When I got this phone I realized that I was taking care of my phones just so the second owner will get a almost brand new phone and wasn't enjoying it to it fullest.
I got the Nexus S and there was no way I'm putting cloth on this sexy screen. I'm enjoying the phone to it fullest. No scratches so far, I also take good care of it by dedicating my right packet only for her, no coins no keys, just my nexy.

Ooo ya, if there hadn't been a kiosk I wouldn't have done the GA. And you'd have to buy the whole body protection which I'll admit adds sharp corners to the phone that I'm not 100% fond of. I actually took off the side protection because it was just too damn sharp.
By the way, distorted. Have you noticed its pretty much just you and I in the mornings and that we just end up chatting?

Fair enough, though I'm surprised by how early you get up. I'm only up this morning because my wife woke up with a fever so I'm up taking care of her for a bit.
I Zagged my first one but had to return it(TBH i didn't like the zagg but like to keep my phones in tip top condition as i only keep them 6 months.)
anyway CPW replaced my phone last week because the back button wasn't working but I could't transplant the zagg so went naked !
bad decision...although I keep it in a leather pouch, I noticed yesterday there is a small scuff to the screen coating near the earphone.
I love the phone but what a bad decision not to have gorilla glass or factory apply a protector!
I'm going to take it back to CPW and see if they'll replace it under sale of goods as the screen is not performing as expected - no one would expect a scuff within 5 days if their phone is only ever touched by fingers or the felty inside of phone pouch.

Sorry for off-topic to the rest.
no issues whatsoever. Screen protectors r overrated.
I got mine on first launch day, and basically I used that one as my experiment phone just to see how durable the screen was in comparison to my previously owned N1. I had the phone about 2 weeks before I noticed some very light scratches on the screen. Nothing visible head on, you could only see it from an angle with a light source reflecting off of it. For the most part, I kept it in my pocket free of hard items, but there were times when I threw it in my pocket with a few coins and keys in there. My second unit I kept for about a week. I specifically steered clear of sharing my phone with other items in the same pocket. Lo n behold, another small scratch surfaced up on the display. As I said before, it's nothing you can see right off, unless you specifically look for it. Over a short period of time, using this phone without a screen protector, will develop some sort of scratches on it, guaranteed!

I have the Nexus S for 10 days now. No screen protectors but I put it in a soft pouch when it's in my pocket. So far pristine.
I've been carrying mine in a ziplock in my pocket. My pockets seem to attract lint like no tomorrow, and I dont
want any getting stuck between the screen and bezel. I wish my cases, soft pouch, and Skinomi skin would show up already.
Phone is pristine, I'm just trying to avoid micro-scratches on the battery cover.

I use ziplocks for my phone when it's raining (which doesn't happen much here in LA); I don't even need to take out of the bag to make a call or use the phone.
Ive had mine for about 6 weeks now...just before christmas i got it. Up until about a week ago i used it with no screen protector. Its fine as you would expect. But anyway i been using a screen protector for about a week now, and i feel a lot better...i dont have to worry about any little accidents or anything.
Screen responds exactly the same...no issues.

What protector is the best for clarity? I have a Zagg and it isn't the best for clarity.
I have seen a realook on a captivate and it looks great but they don't make one for the Nexus S.

Seidio and Steinheil. Clarivue is also good.
Ghost armor all the way! No issues here with it. Had it on my g1 and it kept the phone perfect for 2 years. That one was applied by the kiosk. Don't have one real close to me now in this state but after applying these things now in a few phones I could probably do it in my sleep. Nothing under my screen and it looks and feels great. No clarity issues and it seems the film self heals scratches. You can just barely see orange Peel in certain angles under the light but you can't feel it. I had the zagg before and its utter crap in comparison. The zagg is very bumpy and the thickness of it doesn't feel right on the phone. I've found the ghost armor to fit better as well. I originally wanted a static type like realook but with the curve of the screen it doesn't seem any of those type will fit as flush as this one.
