Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have used the Invisibleshield Zagg invisible shield on several phones, including my HTC Touch pro 2 CMDA (Verizon).
I have also tried the BOxwave Cleartouch anti-glare protectors. The Zagg is thicker and tougher and comes with a lifetime guarantee.
However, it is much harder to apply (it doesn't slide well even with lots of alcohol, and even less with their supplied fluid).
It is not anti-glare, it even seems to increase glare.
And it is not as transparent, surface irregularities are visible on close inspection.
The Cleartouch protector seems to disappear (for me).
Also, I recently switched an HTC Touch Pro 2 from the Zagg to the Boxwave and it cleared up a problem with touch sensitivity on the pressure-sensitive screen. So I cannot recommend the Zagg for pressure-sensitive screens- it might work better on capacitive screens. I downgraded from 3 to 2 stars for this reason.
The Cleartouch (from Boxwave) does an amazing job of reducing screen glare without reducing contrast noticeably in regular lighting.
It does resist scratching, but the shield has scratched from keys in pocket etc. I think the Zagg does a better job of
scratch prevention, but you can always replace the Cleartouch after a while.
The Cleartouch is thin and when I have removed it for cleaning it has gotten damaged, so I recommend the 3-packs of that brand.
The first thing I do with a new phone is put on a screen protector, before I get a chance to scratch the display.
Once the screen gets dusty, you can never get it all off. So I remove the shipping protector and apply the shield
right away.
(Regular cases don't work well for me, too bulky and inconvenient, and when you remove the phone, no protection.)
I use a dangerous method to install but it has worked well for me. Here it is, use at your own risk. :)
I work with a new phone that has not had the shipping shield removed, so the display
is completely clean and dust free. Otherwise I clean it carefully. Follow manufacturer instructions
but I have always used rubbing alcohol with no negative consequences.
I work in a closed bathroom with a cold shower running to reduce dust.
I make sure I have bright light, and the battery is removed from the phone.
I douse the sticky side of the shield with rubbing alcohol, and apply it.
(The included Zagg fluid didn't work at all for me. Very little slipping.
It was impossible to position the protector precisely.)
With some effort it slides around and you have a few minutes to position it precisely.
(The Boxwave Cleartouch screen is much easier to position- it doesn't stick as much with the layer of fluid under it.)
I use the edge of a credit card to squeegee out any bubbles. This takes a while.
I work from center to edge.
Then I gently wipe it dry of excess fluid.
I let it dry for an hour or two before using it. (The instructions say 12 - 24 hours!)
With this phone, the full body shield seems to be a waste. The gray plastic back (from Verizon) looks very cheap
and easy to replace (with new battery) anyay. The shield looks worse than a few scratches.
I had an extended battery with it's own thicker back- about twice as deep. I applied the standard full body shield and it worked out ok. I just snipped it in a few places with a scissors to get it to follow contours or remove extra triangle bits.
