[Touch HD Accessories] EssexboyRacer:
Thought I would put my pennies worth on this thread.

I've installed IS to 3 devices so far. An Ipod Classic, ipod nano (came out the best by far!) and Touch HD.

Touch HD is definately the hardest to do! I got the later batch with a screen peice and 4 seperates for the edges.

Installation went ok but i did bugger up one of the corners on the back causing it to start peeling after a few weeks.

Anyway one day I pulled it out my pocket and found permanent ripples in the shield where it had been pressed in my pocket. Emailed zagg and they sent me out a replacement no problem (had to pay $3.95 to cover shipping). They send a whole sheild not just the component that needs replacing so I had another chance to correct my errors from before.

This time I got it 98% spot on. Really happy with how it went on, all nice and neat corners etc... Except for the front screen! Although I got it positioned nicely no matter how clean I try to keep it dust keeps getting in between the sheild and screen before I can get the screen on!

So that came off and zagg have kindly agreed to send me a 3rd kit!

I only need to do the screen part again but will be taking as much care as possible though I doubt I'll get a perfect result unless I can find one of those "clean" rooms factories have!

If you are bothered about your gadget enough to buy one of these kits you are going to be particular about the fit - its defo a challenge to get right first time!
[Touch HD Accessories] panos123:
Can anyone tell me where I can buy the new version?

I only want the part for the silvery border around the screen as I have a brando screen cover and will buy a replacement battery cover when the time comes.

Ordered from Zagg but im in uk and they're taking ages to even dispatch (no email replies either).

I've contacted other uk sites but they seem bewildered as to what I'm requesting.

I removed my silicone case to clean only to remember how sexy the hd is.

Many thanks..

hard case? with IS?

so im going to get the HD next week or so, yes a bit late, but finally dropped to my ideal price.....but ive seen the IS in action, on my cousins iphone, but note on that is he didnt do the greatest job but looks good and the material feels sturdy, im definitely going to get the IS for the HD, but my question here is.

does anyone who has the IS tried using it with a hard case? not a fan of crystal clear ones because they look cheap, and silicone just gets dirty and rips apart eventually. but the solid color hard cases.

something like this is what i am talking about

if anyone does have the IS and the case, how well does it fit? does the IS add too much to the phone that the cases will not fit around the phone?
[Touch HD Accessories] jaypeev_9:
I'll probably be getting an IS too... :)
[Touch HD Accessories] clandestino26:
I tried the IS --- and had it for one week and removed it.

The product is OK for protection, no real problem with it but simply can not get used to the sticky feeling and the look of the HD after that. The HD is very nice to hold but with IS it was a stange feeling and felt a bit like some cheap device in the hand covered with marmelade.

Problems I noticed:

- if you manage to apply it at once without need to remove and re-adjust

the IS - than it looks fine. As soon as you apply it incorectly and have to remove/re-apply than some white grease appears on the IS which is very noticeable on a black surface. The IS is stretching a bit when you take if off from the HD - and it shows.

- the touchscreen feels very sticky with the IS as well and the stylus is not gliding on the surface. Difficult to draw on the screen etc.

- as the HD is thicker and not so "slippery" anymore with the IS it is not possible to insert the HD into my car charger (Brodit) which is very tight and perfect fit originally. The charger will tear off the small edges of the IS when pushing hard into the charger.

Positive:

- as protection IS is very good / really scratchproof

- for devices with other colors (red, silver etc ) the reapplying causes no visible effect. I have it on a red IPOD and silver Iphone and it looks nice.

On black devices it is --- questionable.

In summary if you need good full-body non-visible scratch protection for a (non black) device so consider IS (however for the screen I would not really use it for a device with stylus and touch surface). . But if you care about the astetics of the HD look for a good screen protector (I have Brando crystal clear) and dont destroy the look of it.

So after a week of marmelade feeling I decided to remove it and to apply a quality screen protector only --- and I'm much more happy now (until the first scratch on the backpanel ?? :))
[Touch HD Accessories] Sallcho:
What's the difference in new HD IS version?
[Touch HD Accessories] Puchero:
the differenceis now 8 parts, no 4
[Touch HD Accessories] CKSaZaBoN:
I just got the IS as well on my HD. Installation was a bit tricky, but in the end, got it down. There are still some "micro-bubbles" and it seems they beginning to slowly disappear. But I agree with that the feel now is a bit "sticky", but I read somewhere that it will get less noticable after a while (not sure how long a while is)...
[Touch HD Accessories] bonesy:
CP Armor do a complete shiel;d on ebay :/
[Touch HD Accessories] homer285:
I must admit the product is not great, difficult to install, expensive, visibility is very poor on the screen (compared to screen protector) and it peels off in less than a week of taking it in and out of pocket. I would not recommend it.
[Touch HD Accessories] eighty1:
My experience

I love the fact that i dont have to worry about scratching my hd up with the invisible shield and it can have its same great look without being in a case, but my experience hasnt been all to great. Maybe its just coincidence but i have the shield on my hd and iphone and have had both screens crack and i have had several touch screen phones and had the t8282 b4 my t8285 and had no cracked screen with worse drops. I honestly have dropped both phones not even a foot from the ground and my hd just fell next to my bed and cracked so ive had to replace both screens. I think in my opinion that maybe the fit of the shield doesnt allow the screen any movement so when it drops the screen is just so stiff from being compressed from the shield and has no room for movement so upon impact its a dead impact of all the weight in one area causing it it to crack. Probably not exactly whats going on but i never had this issue b4 the invisible shield and had some dramtic drops to my phone. Just my theory. I continue to use it but if it happens again i will no longer.
[Touch HD Accessories] :
I haven't used this... But I wonder for those who have the orange peel feeling on screen can use a usual screen protector and protect other surfaces with IS?
[Touch HD Accessories] yellovv23:
Just FYI, dont clean you IS with a normal tissue paper and Methylated spirit! lol

I've had no complaints so far about IS. been 4 months, still looking brand new. BUT!

I drew on my screen with a ball point pen because I was lazy to get the stylus out. So I clean the screen with a piece of tissue paper from the box, with meth.. thinking its unscratchable and military grade... wow was i wrong.

The outcome after 2 rubs was like I scratched a plastic case with a smooth sandpaper..

Although there was unlimited warranty, I had to pay for shipping there and back.. argg
[Touch HD Accessories] robolee:
Well i got myself a IS for my hd too but installation took me 5 hour (first timer)

IS is good but as like other user say, its very hard to install it on hd and once u start peeling it off and readjust, the whole thing will start looking ugly....

removed it just after 3 day.
[Touch HD Accessories] neils31:
Ive had mine on about 6 weeks now, it took approx 2 hours to fit.

I did not bother to install the back cover piece.

However it starts to peel on the strips in various places, i just cut the peeled parts off and so far it is satisfactory.

The screen piece is fine, but I see 'marks' after repeated screen alignment after reflashing ....

When I installed I did it one piece at a time and let that piece 'go off' sufficiently enough to fit the next piece.

I was visiting Florida a week after i fitted mine and there was a stall in the mall supply / fitting them for $25, had a chat with the guy he said it takes him about 20 minutes!!

How I asked? - his secret was he used a hair dryer to speed up the process .....
[Touch HD Accessories] Fusel Wusel:
Same for me. I removed my IS some weeks ago...
[Touch HD Accessories] bogdatov:
I'm actually in Florida and IS guys install it here for $10 (full body) and $5 (screen only). I tried it twice. Old design and new design. Both started peeling off about 1-2 months after installation. It looks like crap now. I believe hot weather contributes to peeling.

I have another package with IS, but thinking about NOT installing it. Is there better alternative ?
[Touch HD Accessories] abubakar:
I'd go for Clear Protector. Had them on all of my previous 5 pdas, and they've yet to fail me. I didn't use any case/pouch on top of the clear protector, and it didn't peel at all.

Oh, and get them from ebay. There are discounts for them every now and then.
[Touch HD Accessories] tyronne1126:
i just looked at it again and their so called "full" body doesn't cover corvers im guessing?... at least from what i see in the full body iphone corvers.. i know for a fact that the invisibleSHIELD one does EVERY part of the phone.. but stupid they are being slow and dont have one yet.. they wont even respond to my emails
[Touch HD Accessories] vangrieg:
Did anybody try or read about other people removing this thing? I wonder if it's possible and how easy it is to remove the glue.

Hermes ivisible shield for sale

I bought this and my unit died before I installed it. Make an offer
[Touch HD Accessories] Insaneboy:
:eek: How did it die??
[Touch HD Accessories] birdheh:
turned itself off

It began to turn itself off intermittently. A call would come in and it would power off. It would be in my pocket and I would pull it out and it would be off!
[Touch HD Accessories] tyronne1126:
what did you buy?
[Touch HD Accessories] birdheh:
bought a tile

I bought a tilt, Kaiser
[Touch HD Accessories] tedster:
This is not related to Blackstone at all, but my friend also had Hermes which intermittenly turned itself off. The problem was gone after I installed a new ROM for him. I forgot which version, but it was one that was derived from Kaiser. So I suspect it's mostly OS rather than hardware related. I can check which one if you are interested.
[Touch HD Accessories] birdheh:
thans

I actually went back to the stock ROM and the problem continued, so I dont think that is the problem
[Touch HD Accessories] tunppi:
I got invisible shield for my Diamond and I love it!

it really keeps scratches off and looks like new. It gives rubberlike feel, but it disappeared after month or so.

It takes some nerves to install it first time, but if you do it carefully and read/watch those manuals it goes well.

When i installed it to first Diamond i got mad and i swore id never ever install these again but it got stolen after few weeks, insurance paid me new shield and phone. So I installed it again and it was easy.

Just a note, when you install these, remember to let it be for some days, even if it doesnt look great, because it WILL get better if you didnt blew installation totally.

One of my friends took it off after 1day because it looked bad then. Now he regrets that.

Soon getting Touch HD and will buy invisible shield for that (when it comes)
[Touch HD Accessories] PelloG:
any news of the release date from zagg?
[Touch HD Accessories] vangrieg:
How easy is it to remove actually? Does it leave any traces after being removed?

Also, doesn't this "grippy" feeling make using touchscreen more difficult?
[Touch HD Accessories] Tonimr:
Let's write to Zagg!

I've already done it and they said they'll make an Invisible shield for my HD if I send it to them, eeeerr... I won't do it because I'm so far away from them :D

But, I suppose they'll began to work if they have many requests!

It's easy to peel but I only have tested on my iPod.

Concerning the grippy feeling, it's not worst than a very good quality screen protector...

Guys what about Exim (SPUC) Protectors. I have used them on all my PDA and they are excellent. I use the Ultra Clear ones.

Exim vs Clear Coat vs Invisibleshield or Brando ???

What's best for the HD?

Thanks.
[Touch HD Accessories] tyronne1126:
zagg is laaging it.. they keep saying 1-2weeks.. who knows

[Touch HD Accessories] sna:
would there ever be a time that you would want to remove the invisible shield? How easy is it to remove it and would it peel off any paint?

Would it protect the screen better or worse than screen protectors in terms of minor drops/bumps?
[Touch HD Accessories] LaPank:
I can't imagine that it protects against drops very well. For that reason I bought about 1 year ago a silicon case for my Tilt from Seidio which I guess works like a cage to protect the device. I dropped the phone while riding a bike and navigating (in Poland of all places ;)) which led to the Tilt bumping on the concrete and sliding a few meters on the floor (to tell the story complete: It stopped in a pool of dog piss - believe it or not :eek:) There was only a tiny scratch on the Seidio case and nothing on the Tilt (Took some washing to get rid of the smell though :D) So I guess that silicon cases - if built properly - protect really well. Unfortunately there are no Seidio cases for the HD, otherwise I had ordered one from them.

But I've seen that at least one other manufacturer is already offering his brand of silicon cases, so sooner or later I will buy one of these!
[Touch HD Accessories] rickjoni:
Somebody on a Dutch forum had sent an email to Invisibleshield about the HTC Touch HD, after hearing about the pre-orders that could be ordered on mobilefun.co.uk. He got the following reply:

... This is extremely inconvenient because I already pre-ordered the Invisible shield :(

Which American is gonna offer his phone up for this very just cause? ;-) Please somebody send the thing over!
[Touch HD Accessories] paolonio:
I got the same answer from Zagg...

In the mean time, I bought the shield here (now I'm waiting the arrival):

I emailed them for the second time yesterday (12-4) after waiting 3 weeks from their first reply (someone was sending them a HD to make a template from), but I haven't had a response. Maybe they're getting sick of the HD requests. :D
[Touch HD Accessories] itsmetoo:
Got an answer this week: they ask me to send my HTC HD :-( I don't understand their way to work. They could buy one, and sell it 3 days later with invisible shield on ebay for the price they did buy it... it's very curious...
[Touch HD Accessories] frustin:
no one has had the balls to send one yet though eh? ;)
[Touch HD Accessories] jarucho:
Obviously it is a very strange way of working. They should buy a sample and then work on it (sell it later if you want). Doing in this way they would have the product ready and of course nobody would have to send the HD to them!

Let's see...
[Touch HD Accessories] weasley:
Zagg have the invisible shield now for HD but only the screen part not full body. What a shame.
[Touch HD Accessories] _Fly_:
Already ordered the mine. In the front is the most vulnerable to risks because of the huge glass.
[Touch HD Accessories] DoGGToR:
rly? ;) ;)
[Touch HD Accessories] audscott:
Let us know if it affects the tactile response....seems the invi-shield is great because it is relatively thick material for protecting the body, but that advantage in one area may be a disadvantage in another.

By the way, some people have asked if removal of the invi-shield leaves a film or "glue" behind. It does not. I took mine off an Omnia i900 I sold and it was a pretty as the day I received it. (I did not use the screen protector, though, opting for the standard film provided with the Omnia).

Pictures

Are there any photo's of the applied Invisible Shield on the HD yet? I would like to see how good the phone is covered and how invisible the shield really is on the HD. Thanks in advance!
[Touch HD Accessories] liddlefeesh:
I really want to know this also....

The closest we can get to is looking at the protector on the iPhone - which seems to work great although the iPhone screen is capacitive (responds to changes in electromagnetic field) rather than resistive (touch) so the iPhone response will hardly be affected at all, buta resistive screen on the other hand....

I'd like to hear from other Touch HD + InvisibleShield users.
[Touch HD Accessories] tyronne1126:
the invisible shield barely came out.. everyonek is waiting for it to get shipped out. its been 2 days.. if mine doesn't get shipped by today or tomorrow im going to call them. im probably the first that ordered it hahah

I assume it will be here within a week. Hopefully, by the weekend when I have more time to figure out how to apply the thing.
