IS + HTC shield together.

Ive also bought the InvisibleShield for the HD and fitted it without many problems, took about 3 days for the bubbles to disappear completely. Then i got annoyed by the sticky rubber screen covering... its great on the phone body as it sticks to your hand and is really tough -apart from the corners... pity as im sure they will be the first thing for the paint to wear off.

So i removed the IS front shield and went back to the HTC supplied front shield which is a harder smoother plastic film and works better with the sylus .. now its much better with the IS on the body and HTC shield on the front.

Well after Telling Zagg the issue with the IS this is the response.....

Hello Antony,

Thank you for contacting ZAGG, home of the invisibleSHIELD! My name is Leah and I appreciate the opportunity to assist you.

Thank you for your feed back. I have talked with our designers about the issue. We find that it is easier for customers to install the HTC Touch HD Full Body if it is in a single piece rather then multiple small pieces. We know it's difficult to install the invisibleSHIELD. We design them for ease of installation and best protection, and so far we have not received enough complaints about the HTC Touch HD (Full Body) installation process. I'm sorry but we will not be changing the design for it.

We would be happy to extend a refund, providing your return mail is postmarked within thirty days of your original purchase date of December 28, 2008.

Please note that you are responsible for the shipping back to our facility. If we receive mail that has postage due there will be a $3.95 deduction from your refund. Also, we only require the original invisibleSHIELD be returned in a regular mailing envelope and do not require any of the original packaging.

We recommend you send your return back to us via a traceable method as we are not liable for anything lost in the mail.

Pfffff....

Thats what i say...

Min 1.5 month. I dont expect that he will deliver or give a refund. He must ad tracking to ensure delivery to his products. Year based he gets a nice ammound $ for not delivered products...:mad:

And now what???

Got the packages we ordered very fast. Smooth business. I give them Cudos for that, but OMG the product? Now lets get down and dirty, shall we?

1) Ease of applying?

- Back? Easy.

- Front? iMPOSSIBLE. Bubbles around the corners of the screen, eventually after 48 hours the protective screen just doesn't want to glue down on those corners. The curved part just outside the screen - looks ugly.

2) Fit - back is okey - but the front and mostly sides - UGLY.

3) Okey to hold in the hand. Horrible to swipe.

4) Impression: Did I just convert my 600 Euro plasticy kids toy with smudgning front and a please don't touch me feel to the finger?

I guess I did. Am I happy with it? Certainly not.

Maybe I'll use the back cover, but I'm going to stick to the original screen protector.
[Touch HD Accessories] tunppi:
Okay, now my shield has been on for about 1½months or so.

Every phone I got has it now.

Nokia 5100 custom screen only :) made by me

Diamond Full body been there half a year, not rubberlike anymore. Perfect in every place.

HD full body ~1½months old, very small bubbles somewhere but same as invisible if dont know where to look, back and sides no bubbles at all, perfection.

Phones with Invisible Shield

Also my camera, Canon EOS 1000d has it, custom made by me from HD screen only part, perfect also.
[Touch HD Accessories] Snuurtje:
Got the full body version but apparently i screwed up :p i Got an airbubble on the side of the back, and one on top of the front of the screen (they are on the edges. One edge didnt want to stick down, the other 2 did nicely. That one edge is sticking up slightly now. I dont really care about the airbubbles they are not so visible most of the time, and not atleast i can put my phone in my pocket without using this pouch. I dont have any fear for scratches anymore :D I might order a replacement if i do start getting annoyed by the bubbles though. Wont really have a valid reason but i just wont return the old one. Dont care if my warranty will expire then. A new one will most likely last me the remaining 22 months my phone has to got with.
[Touch HD Accessories] VizagDude:
Thats exactly what I did. I tried to put on the sheild on the screen... and I was never happy.. I used up the whole bottle of liquid they sent with the package on trying to install the screen one. But it was always ugly and the bubles and the corners never stuck.

I actually have good amount of experience in installing Invisible shield on iPhone (I use to own one and my wife still has one). I was pretty happy the way it stuck to that device, but not Touch HD.

Finally, I removed the front screen IS and went back to the stock Screen Protector. But of course, I am VERY Happy with the Camera cover on the back.. when I put it down, it does not scratch at all.

So.. there is my story.
[Touch HD Accessories] AgeKay:
Can you still open the back cover without removing the shield to exchange the SIM card or take out the microSD card?
[Touch HD Accessories] stzd8:
Anybody else got a good install on Invisible Shield?

So far from the pics, I see that Tunnpi is the only one that installed the invisible shield best. Anyone else managed to fight the obstacles on installing the invisible shield on the HTC HD?

What you guys did for the front install? Use the hair dryer, fingers to push out the bubbles or squegee? Do we lose any of the 'touch' factor with the invisible shield?

thanks,
[Touch HD Accessories] tunppi:
Yes ofcourse :) It does not go over anything that is necessary.

When installing front part always go from middle to sides, dont let sides stick on their own, push with squeegee to that small gap/hole in sides so it sticks bottom of it and no water should be left under it.

always wet squeegee when using it and dont press too hard with it, especially with squeegees corners.

Returned

I shipped my back for a refund I'm still waiting to get. the only thing I liked about it was the extra grip on the phone from the back protector. the lower antenna protector got messed up as i used my car holder for the phone. also the edges didn't fit right which probably didn't help. from protector did make using the screen tough. i switched to the hard plastic case and have been very happy. the screen still has the protector the phone came with.
[Touch HD Accessories] Viba:
Hi, first post to xda-d.

Got my InvisibleSHIELD for the HTC Touch HD today, the installation was a pain in the ass, had to try several times to get it somewhat decent.

But my shield had separate screen and side slices? Probably a new version?

Still it was hard to install, hope a few days make a big difference...

Some pics 10min after installation:
[Touch HD Accessories] stzd8:
Viba, concerning installing

So you say it is very very hard to install with the bubble issue. You mentioned something about new cuts, does that solve the problem with the bubbles on the edge of the screen?

When did you order yours? You see any improvements with this 'new' cut?
[Touch HD Accessories] Viba:
No problems with bubbles at the edges, the screen part fits nicely.

Probably some improvement, but hard to say since I can't compare it to anything.

But still hard to install without a dustfree environment and proper accessories :/

Maybe it will heal in a couple of days, if not I'm probably changing the screen part back to the original protector.

I ordered it from Zagg, 20.1.2009.
[Touch HD Accessories] Hardice33:
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know how my experience with my Invisible Shield went.

It takes quite a bit of patience getting everything aligned up. Installation probably took me around thirty minutes total. There were probably three or four air bubbles on the side (none on the screen) and those disappeared in about a week.

I'm pretty impressed with the product and would definitely recommend it for an HD.

Note: There seem to be more flaws in the pictures than are visible to the naked eye. Pretty much all the garbage on the phone is lint and what not.
[Touch HD Accessories] stzd8:
Hardice33

Say did you get the new cut or the old Invisible SHield? If you got the old one, then it would be interesting to know how you dealt with the edges of the screen.

thanks
[Touch HD Accessories] Hardice33:
I had the old cut (I'm presuming the old cut, with one piece for the screen).

I installed the back to get the hang of it since it was the first time I really installed something like this. Back was pretty easy to install.

On the front, I would lay down a little bit of the shield onto the phone, take a credit card and smooth that part out while the other part of the shield was still on the original backing (not on the phone). I did that centimeter by centimeter until it was all done.

I pushed out whatever liquid was present from the screen and laid down the edges.

I hope that helps a little bit. It is kind of hard to type what I did. It's pretty much common sense, or it was to me about how to approach installing it. ;)
[Touch HD Accessories] Dark Knight:
Guys,

I've applied mine about 2 days ago. I've only applied the back cover so far - I'm quite happy with my existing screen protector.

Many of the bubbles I had after the first hour of application still remain, but I don't think they'll bug me.

For those of you who are complete virgins to Invisible Shield, it gives the sort of cover protection as the one placed on the tHD when first purchased. It's a slightly thicker version, so I can understand why some people have had problems with using the front one for the screen.

But a question for the ones who've removed it : Does it leave any residue ? After 2 days, I must say it does look very air tight, so I wouldn't want it pulling at the case of leaving any residual gum.

Could anyone please confirm ?

Thanks
[Touch HD Accessories] Hardice33:
It does not leave any residual gum when removed.
[Touch HD Accessories] Dark Knight:
Thanks !

Two further questions :

- Can the Invisible Shield applied protector be removed and re-applied ?

- Can the chemical spray provided to assist with application be used with other protectors ?

I just wander what's in that chemical spray.. It does seem to make protector application easier by allowing you to drag the protector to where you want it. Normally, you have to get placement 100% right first time because of a protectors adhesive.

Just wondering....
[Touch HD Accessories] Viba:
I re-applied the IS screen part several times, between the re-applies I had the original brandon(?) cover installed, I tried installing it with the chemical spray but imo it was harder to install with it than without.

But it felt easier to install the IS after I had replaced the original spray with some soap-water. I would recommend others to try that too.
[Touch HD Accessories] james00000007:
Can you re-apply after the shield has completely dryed. I have had mine on for a while now and have never tried to remove it. I would like to do it again, but dotn want to buy new IS.
[Touch HD Accessories] Viba:
Worked for me.
[Touch HD Accessories] mpf54:
Once it is on is can't be taken off and reused.

The checmical spay is not really much on a checmical. All it really is is water with a couple drops of baby shampoo it it. It you look at beskskinsever which sells the exact same product they don't even give you a spray. They just tell you how to mix it. I have been using this type product for a while now. The last one I got was from www.clear-coat.com. Cheaper and fit fine except they did not cut hole for front camera. How ever I put it on anyway and it you can't tell using the camera that it is even there.
[Touch HD Accessories] sna:
new cut?

can anyone else confirm there is a new cut for IS with 2 pieces for the front?
[Touch HD Accessories] liddlefeesh:
I installed my replacement Invisible Shield this week and can confirm that the horizontal lines have mostly gone.

A few lines persist, but it's more or less workable.

I'm still unimpressed with Zagg (see my previous comments).
[Touch HD Accessories] Amaster:
just installed my invisible shield, can confirm it has 3 seprate pieces for the back and has 5 bits for the front, one just for the screen area, which fits well, and then 4 seperate strips for top bottom and sides, a bit tricky to install buy no bubbles if you do it right, dont fit perfectly around all the sides gaps of about o.5-1cm between these strips...still better than having bubbles tho! although no covering for metal casing near mini USB.

hope that helps

v nice! feel a lot happier its protected.
[Touch HD Accessories] lcmt:
just 1 doubt about the application of IS.

Have anyone met problem on the spray water leak into the phone?

As my friend had just installed IS to his HD,

unfortunely,spray liquid had get in and ruined the phone.

and HTC said that the warranty of my friend's HD was lost,

due to the man-made damage.(moisture entry)
[Touch HD Accessories] sna:
any pictures of your phone w/ this new cut? I'm especially interested in where and how big those gaps are.
[Touch HD Accessories] Dark Knight:
Personally, I would only spray the back of the IS and not the phone. Also keep it minimal... Enough to 'wetten it'... Do not drench it.

For the folder over flaps which are thinner, use a low tack masking tape to hold it in place for about an hour or two.
[Touch HD Accessories] robnil:
About the new IS that arrived just now.

There is a new piece protecting the lens on the backside. Good.

There is a new front-piece that covers only the inside-frame. Good.

Seems like they have listened to the customers.

I can confirm that after carrying the phone in my pocket for 4 weeks now and also dropped it a few times (!!) there are no scratches at all.

[Touch HD Accessories] kolokas:
hi...if i want to remove this is easy???????????
[Touch HD Accessories] laidbackfreak:
nice write up there and totally agree with the painstaking procedure to fit it :(

One thing I would amend tho and was amazed by is I had a couple of large air bubbles on my screen after a poor fitting, and even these "blemishes" cleared in a couple of days, I now have a completely clear and flat scree :D

aside from the small red hair thats caught under it :rolleyes:

Can I ask how you tested out the removal and any hints?? As I want to remove the screen cover and re-do it. It's not real bad, but a little annoying to me.
[Touch HD Accessories] dedafmonteur:
i had a invisible shield on my omnia and it feels like rubber.

not confy at all.

the best is still the good old screen protector in my eyes.
[Touch HD Accessories] kremator:
I am using Black Rubber Case plus screen protector and I am perfectly happy with it so I can recommend it.
[Touch HD Accessories] AgeKay:
Does the i.Mask have a seperate front cover just for the screen like the new version of the InvisibleShield?
[Touch HD Accessories] robnil:
I had the replacement sent to me so I pealed of the old front-piece and it didnt leave a trace.

When pealed off the surface gets a little stretched. I am not sure if this heals by it self by time. I took a scissor and cut it to fit one of my digicams instead :)

But the interesting thing about this solution is that the moisture itself creates the stickiness to dont worry (i beleave) about that the glue would be old or gone. Just spray it and stick it.

In fact the rubbery feeling with the stylus is less now. Maybe its an illution or they have changed the mixture.. i dont know.

I am a new member to this forum, and i love HTC phones

i read over 35 pages of replies on this topic of Invisible Shield ... i hope i will get the new cut version, if not i will just send it back and request for it

my phone is arriving this weekend and the shield is on its way, and i also got the plastic case ( will put the phone inside the case after the shield is installed for double protections) :)

i hope my steady hands develped from yrs of model building will help me with this "Shield Installation" process

give me a week or so i will post my result

for those who are interested in Imask, i emailed the company in Chinese, hopefully i will get their responds soon about taking and shipping their order from US or UK.

Do you have any pictures of the new IS ?
[Touch HD Accessories] FANISTELROOY:
i want to know this....:confused:
[Touch HD Accessories] orangecrush:
I just received my invis-shield today for my HD. I'm waiting till the weekend to install it because it will allow for less usage and allow it to completely dry.

That is the biggest trick in making it stay permanent IMO. Being in the bodyshop business, we use similiar products every day and allowing it to dry enough is key.

As far as those interested in removing it, don't worry, you can remove it easily and without any residue.

I just put my Diamond on ebay. I purchased a new IS for it and will let the new owner install it. I removed the old one easily and it left the surface very clean.

HTH's,

Mark

does the IS peel off the corners easily?

anyone with the IS (doesnt matter new or old cut) for over 1 month can clarify?
[Touch HD Accessories] turcomora:
Just a suggestion. I just orderd my Aussi 850mhz HD and am having it shipped straight to zagg so that they can install the invisble shield for me. They only charge $10 to do and turn around is 3-5 business days. I have always bought the shields for my devices and done them myself, but the truth is that it is worth the wait and money to have them do it. Plus if you tell them you subscribe to there twitter blog you get 15% off. I will post pics once I get it.
[Touch HD Accessories] bogdatov:
HTC HD 2+ months old. Old cut IS. Installed by IS professional (they do have IS kiosk in Brandon mall) - lower corners started to peel off :(
[Touch HD Accessories] Akhara:
well, believe me or not

my invisible shield had been cut.. not using something on.. but my blackstone cut my invisible shield..

explanation:

i was flashing my mobile with a new custom rom..

and while installing a software, i fall asleep.. ^^

when i wake up. my touch HD was hot.. and i saw a part of my invisible shield cut..

it has been cut with the hot temperature of the blackstone..
[Touch HD Accessories] gfreek:
Just spent the last two hours putting on IS on my hd(I'v got the old verson the one with the 1 complete front skin!:-()!

As someone posted earlier the back is very easy to put on, it took me less then 5 min!! However the front is a b*****d to put especially the the four edges I've still got some bubbles it just looks so un-professional, I'l see how it looks in the next couple of days if doesn't get any better then it's coming off and in the bin!!!! Not happy at all £20 down the drain!! I may keep the back as it looks good no bubbles at all, just replace the front with a screen protector i.e. martin fields:-)

Bottom line if put on properly I'm sure IS does look good and does what it says on the tin however the fact is installation is a nightmare!!!! Zagg really need to come up with a better method or design to make install process a lot easier in order to get the best results!!!!
[Touch HD Accessories] Eoinoc:
I bought an IS for my blackstone, just wanted to reassure people that all bubbles did go away. One particular one did stay from almost a week but it's gone now and the device looks slick and professional again.
[Touch HD Accessories] gfreek:
Glad you are happy with IS, you definitly had the patience unlike me, I just did not like feel of it!!! £20 down the drain!!! IMHO Zagg need to improve two things; a better install method and get rid of the rubbery feel especially on the touch screen side, it needs to be silky smooth like martin fields screen protectors!
[Touch HD Accessories] xtac:
Yes. Its true the bubbles really do go away after a month of usage or so. I applied the IS twice and i can safely say that for anyone attempting to install it, remember to spray the whole device and the shield with the liquid provided by IS. If the shield does not move around smoothly for you to adjust it then you are not using enough liquid. The new version of the IS is much easier to install compared to the first batches.
[Touch HD Accessories] laidbackfreak:
got to say after having had it in place for a few weeks now, im not so impressed with it...

I will say that had I maybe taken more time (and for what its worth I didnt exactly rush it) I think it would be ok...

but the strip along the top is already showing wear and peeling... all four corners are peeling the top two (ie off the back) have never settled properly...

I will also add that while carrying my HD its been on inside suit jacket pocket without anything else, so no outside contact, no coins, no keys etc...

So how it would stand upto heavy use I'm not sure.

to be fair I'd say if you like model making n the like and have a fair amount of paitence then this is a nice piece of kit, but if you want somthing that is quick easy and functional I'd look else where....

for me I'll look around again and unless I find something better I'll probably buy another kit and re-apply...

The biggest downside for me is the downtime needed for application 24 hours and tbh I don't think thats long enough !!!
[Touch HD Accessories] syqe:
I bought a IS last week too, the install was easy even though I kinda ph34red all those liquids near all those electrics :o

No bubbles can be found, but indeed the screen feels a lot rubberized.

Gonna give it some more time to see if I get used to it.
