Great work, can't wait to try it out!

I have had great confidence in the build of the HTC products since I've never used a protector on my Wizard. It's beat up, missing paint and plastic, never kept anywhere but my pocket, and seems to have only gotten better with age. No duct tape yet but I know it will happen eventually!

My fear is that the shiney new Raph will get scratched up right off the bat and look like junk in a week. Plus, who knows how sensitive the hardware of the device will be...

Does the protector reduce the Fuze's tendency to be a fingerprint magnet? Seems like it definitely would.

Thanks KewlJ!

I ordered my IS using the same coupon code on 01/07/09 (free shipping option) and I received it yesterday I installed it today after watching the videos posted in this thread. It came out very nicely and looks very good.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] adamantypants:
Good set of videos! I just installed my shield yesterday too (before I watched yours). Of note to future buyers, when the instructions say "lightly spray", they actually mean spray the bejeezus out of it. I "lightly sprayed" and it made things somewhat difficult.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] JFlitt:
Agreed, don't be afraid to get a decent amount of the liquid on there, you can look at it this way, any part of the covers sticky side that is dry that comes in contact with any part of your FUZE that is dry is going to stick like crazy, this will lead to pulling it off spraying more etc etc, as seen in my videos when I did the screen cover ;)!

So don't be afraid to use plenty of spray, but don't get to crazy mhmh!!!

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] X2D:
Good video, ordered mine tonight hoping to get it by this weekend!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] JFlitt:
Ah very good!

Had something kinda exciting happen tonight lol, I was talking on my phone and I dropped it! and sure enough 0 scratches on it! I was impressed I must say! Of course the battery back did pop off of it lol, but that is to be excepted with a drop onto a tile floor!

Anywho, thought that was a good example of the invisible shields protection!

JFlitt
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] X2D:
mine fell off my bed when i was trying to hook it up to the charger and hit the side where its metal, made a tiny chip in one of the sides.. decided it's not worth taking another risk. unlike your phone though i have had it a week or two but no visual spots on the bottom where ive sat it on stuff, lol ive sat it on something soft every time its been laid down. Napkin, towl, etc. haha ;D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Scrtcwlvl:
Same here. Before I got my invisible shield on my fuze I was always afraid to place it down on a rough surface in fear of wearing down one of the points on the back. The IS was much easier to install on the Fuze than it was on the Kaiser. Kaiser had a lot more curves.

Definitely worth the money.

Granted I spent only $18 on mine. However, i would have gladly paid the full $25

Kewlj1313,

SUCCESS! Thanks for doing this video. I put mine on last night. The corners were tricky and I'm glad I was prepared for the stubborn sides and knew exactly where all the pieces went. It's taking some getting use to but I like it so far.

Thanks a million!

I posted my comment.

Also, this occurred to me after I applied my skin, but has anyone tried using a humidifier in the room that you are in? It could work. I have this barely visible red piece of lint on the screen of my Raphael, only visible on a white screen!:mad: I have no clue where that came from, I could hire a forensics investigator to prove that it was from the seller, and get a refund :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] JFlitt:
Very good! I'm glad my video has been helpful :)!!

It did take a bit of getting used to for me, but overall I must say its so nice not having to stress about just tossing my phone down on a table or something!

Gooood stuff for sure!

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] deeznuts:
Did you notice all the tiny itty bitty air bubbles finally settle and come out after a day or two? Took me about an hour and a half to finish and used probably half the dang bottle on the front screen alone! Got it all pretty much perfect or as perfect as its gonna get but still some tiny moisture dots that will hopefully subside and go away. Let me know bro.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] deeznuts:
Day 1 18HRS Later

Well my phone so far looks pretty much the same after i finished putting it all on last night. I finished around 7:30pm last night and its 11:42 am right now. Yes some of the residue and air bubbles have gone away but still plenty left that need to go. Haven't touched my phone since i finished last night and dont plan on touching it til at least late tonight or maybe this time tomorrow to give it maximum time to settle. I sure hope it looks good since some of the irritation and air bubbles are on the front screen, the very least place you want them. I could care less on the sides just as long as the back and front look flesh and legit. Hopefully it settles in this time or would be quite disappointed in this product especially because of its price and slow ship time from just a few states away!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] JFlitt:
Deez :) I'm sure they will go away with time! Mine on my front screen actually took somewhat longer than the 3 days suggested. It still seems to clear up even more as time passes, don't stress to bad about it! If you've let the phone sit for 12+ hours or so already I would recommend going ahead and using it! All will work out :) I'm very satisfied with how much mine cleared up it looks great!

Thanks :) and good luck let use know how it goes!

Post a pic or 2 if you can!

JFlitt
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] deeznuts:
Sounds good. What really pisses me of that i didnt notice til it was too late is that theres 2 small strings from my white hanes t-shirt used as u did in the video. Got them stuck, one in the upper right and left sides of the screen and can totally see them with a white or even light colord background when screen is on. Ran out of spray so cant take screen off, get the lint strings out, then re-apply unfortunately and since its been over a day now that screen aint budging. Im gonna give it a work or so and if it really bugs me that much then ima contact zagg and get a replacment and do it all from scratch again. Other than that all was pretty easy and all looks pretty flawless. Just got some tiny air bubbles/residue still all around but as long as they go away like u say overtime im sure ill be a happy customer. Now just gotta get use to that screen, feels real sticky when using the stylus and side scroll bar.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] JFlitt:
Ah this is a bummer on the small strings! Hopefully they don't bother it to bad! (Check PM for some insight on receiving a new one if needed ;-) )

And yes the screen cover is a bit stickier than I was used to also, but I'm pretty used to it now, hopefully you'll get to it also ;)! I'm sure you will!

Anywho! best of luck and check pm

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bigasif:
Hey,

Nice videos! I just picked up an HTC Fuze, and I was looking for a decent screen protector and came across this thread. Anyways, I've had invisible shields on a ton of my electronics (psp's, ipod's, iphone's, and even custom cut some to put on other cell phones that didn't have the protector available) and I've been more than satisfied with them!

The question I have is, did the invisible shield affect the sensitivty of the HTC's touch screen? The only touch-enabled device that I've put an IS on were my 2 iphone's, and they weren't affected, but then again they were a lot more responsive than any other touch-sensitive devices and didn't even use stylus'es.

So yeah, just want to know how the sensitivity and responsiveness compares before/after the application of the shield?

Also, anyone know of any new coupon codes for zagg? I'd like to get a better price than $25 if possible :D (Feel free to pm me?)

Thanks!

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] JFlitt:
http://www.retailmenot.com/view/shieldzone.com <-- It looks like there are some coupons available here! Give it a try and let us know of any of them work for you! :)

I wouldn't say that it affected the overall sensitivity of the screen but it does certainly change the "slide ability" in this I mean that it is a bit different to slide your finger across the IS material, it is a bit stickier... I can't decide whether or not this is even reason enough to pickup another screen cover that is smoother, I am honestly thinking I might. But it is still perfectly functional, I just dislike that the screen is stickier and sometimes its difficult to slide your finger across it smoothly due to the higher friction coefficient. Overall though I am very happy with the case! I really like the overall coverage and as I stated earlier it saved my phone from a drop on a tile floor!

Very good stuff :) Let us know what you think and if you find a usable coupon :)

Thx

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bigasif:
Hey,

Thanks for the info Kewlj! I ended up ordering one from Best Skins Ever (http://www.bestskinsever.com/servlet/the-121/HTC-FUZE-Total-Body/Detail) for a fraction of the price. I've had BSE products on a bunch of my electronics, and had no idea that they carried the Fuze skin until I went to their site, and was pleased to see they had it, so I placed an order for it right away. Although, after reading your last post as well as a bit more feedback on IS and BSE type skins on the HTC Fuze and other Touch-Flo devices, many people prefer a smooth/glossy type screen protector on the main screen, although those aren't quite as durable. So I ended up ordering a few screen protectors off ebay, so I'll most likely be doing a combination of the shield for everything except the front face (screen + keypad area) which will be covered by the screen protector. Although, I'm still thinking about applying the shield to the entire phone including the front, just not sure if I'll like the feel of the rubberized sliding when using the touch screen.

Let me know if you end up applying a regular screen protector to the front and what you think about it!

Cheers!

Does the IS change the clarity of the Fuze screen? I am highly interested but do not want to mess up the nice VGA Resolution :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] JFlitt:
Very cool! let us know how that screen works out for you, I'm quite curious!

JFlitt
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] JFlitt:
I can't see any visual difference as far as the clarity of the screen is concerned, the only thing I notice on the screen protection is as I stated in my previous post it has a bit of a stickyness to it and/or a higher friction coefficient, thus sliding your finger or the stylus across it certainly feels different than the factory screen or screen protector... I am really used to it now and it does a good job, overally I would say I enjoy the full body protection that the IS Provides, but at some point I may switch the screen protector for someone more slick!

:) Thx

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] smotrs:
I installed a couple of these, one on my iPod and another on my old phone. I didn't use the spray as I knew I was gonna run out before I finished.

What I did was take about a cup of water and add a few drops of dawn dish soap (liquid), mix it up and used that to install both shields. Make sure fingers are wet with solution before handling shields.

Worked great and no problems in the last 6 months.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] JFlitt:
Hello all!

I've had my Invisible Shield for about a month now and I wanted to post up a review!

I also removed the screen portion of the shield!

Thanks

JFlitt
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] blaher:
I was wondering if anyone tried putting another regular screen protector on top of the invisible shield so that you don't get the rubbery feel anymore. Would that work, or is removing the shield first recommended?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] JFlitt:
:p

I wouldn't try putting the factory or any other cover over the top of the Invisible Shield on the screen, just because of the thickness that the IS already gives it and the rubbery feel, I don't see how any cover could/would stick to the top of it. I wouldn't recommend it and can't really see a reason to do it other than making it slippery, but if you're gonna do that just remove the IS first!

Thanks :)

JFlitt
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Brosnan:
I have to say, installing the Invisible Shield was an absolute ***** for me, and I'm still really not happy with it. The added tactility and protection for the back piece is good, but I really don't like the screen piece, and it was very frustrating trying to get it on properly. I'm probably going to send it back and get a refund, because it really wasn't worth the price of admission.

Has anyone found a screen cover that is working well for them?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] JFlitt:
Personally I would love to find a screen cover similar to the factory one, its nice and smooth! These ones I ordered *CHEAP* off of eBay aren't the greatest, they are somewhat sticky when you try to slide your finger across.... I am going to try to clean off my original screen cover to see if I can get it to go back on cleanly. What real problems are you having with the IS Screen cover?

Thanks!

JFlitt
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Brosnan:
I think most of my problems stem from difficulty of application. It's really, really hard to get absolutely perfect alignment while you're trying not to smudge anything or get lint anywhere or whatever. I think in the process of realigning the screen multiple times, I may have stretched or otherwise damaged it, so it really doesn't look very good. I also had difficulty getting the flaps on the backpiece to properly wrap around without causing problems, so I ended up cutting the damn things off! And, like you, I like the tactility it adds to the backpiece, but for the screen, it makes stylus use less accurate.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bigasif:
Hey,

Just checked out the review...good stuff. Do you prefer the new screen protector you applied now, compared to the IS? I know it's not as great as the factory screen protector like you said, but do you still prefer it over the IS one?

Anyways, I applied my Best Skins Ever body skin to everything except the front (screen, round button, and the keys under the screen) since I ordered a screen protector on ebay, and I'm just waiting for those to arrive so I can apply them and start using the phone lol. The skin took quite a while to apply, but it was VERY precisely cut...everything fits almost perfectly. The only trouble I really had were the corners, as they wouldn't stick at first. So I just let them sit for a while, and just pressed them down afterwards, and they stuck down fine. Can't see any noticeable air bubbles almost anywhere. Turned out quite well :) ...but I've done it to my ipod's and my previous iphones as well, plus my 2 psp's so I've had a bit of experience...but it always ends up being a challenge lol.

Also, did you apply the skin to the triangle around the camera at the back too? I didn't apply that piece since I'm not sure if there's much of a point. Is that piece prone to scratches? Also, I like the texture/look of that part, so I don't want to really hide it. Does it still look nice with the skin on it (if you applied it there?) Would you happen to be able to take a picture or two of that area with the skin applied (once again, if you applied it there).

Anyways, thanks again for the info!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] JFlitt:
Great info! I'm glad that that best skin ever worked out for you!!

The new screen protector is smoother than the IS for sure, but I don't like that it doesn't cover the non-touchscreen portion of the screen (and or the far left and right sides of the screen and a portion of the top and bottom). I actually ordered a couple more "mirror" type screen covers off of ebay, I'm curious to see what they are like, I will definitely report back and let everyone know.

I did go ahead and apply the Invisible Shield to the portion that is metal (or looks like metal), I mean I can see that the clear cover is on there, but I think it still looks great! I don't think that the metal would really get scratched, but I figured why not right...! I would say why not try it and then if you don't like it just take it off!!

Thx for ur info and start using that phone!

I used your video to make sure I wouldn't eff up my phone in the process and I've had my invis shield installed for a few weeks now and I can't live without it. There ARE minor imperfections as far as getting the top edges to stick but it's ignorable especially when the complete rest of the phone is virtually covered.

Thanks again for the vid I recommend anyone who is going to install an invis shield take the time to watch this just so you have an idea what you're getting into.

Took me a total of 2.5 hours or so because I am so OCD I had to get everything -perfect-

Let's just hope now I don't have to return the son of a ***** because well taking off the invis shield would probably prove fatal!

Taking it off isn't to bad! If you look at my last video I remove the screen protector! Didn't go bad at all :)

Use a Software called MP3Gain to increase the volume of the Song files in your computer and then add them to Xperia.

Do you have an other way but to listen web radio, MP3gain doesn't work.

U should try other equipment also ..maybe the speaker isnt loud enuff?
[XPERIA X1 General] Mr Anderson:
I have the same problem, and I don't think the equipment is to blame. My earbuds will blow my head off on other devices, but the Xperia just doesn't seem to be putting out enough volume.

I know there are some nanny state regulations in Europe that require manufacturers to restrict their max volume, but is this really what SE has done on their international X1i? Seems a shame that the rest of the world has to suffer from European bureaucracy.

Max volume must be controlled in the registry somewhere. I've experimented with several suggestions elsewhere in these forums but have yet to find the answer.
[XPERIA X1 General] skycamefalling:
I use philips sport-earplugs for running and I listen to MP3s with my phone during that (the internal GPS draws me the route I was running and measures the time -excellent sport-device :D ).

Most of the time i have the volume at 50 to 60% and it's very loud, 80% and more would definitely blow my eardrums out after short time.

So I cannot complain about the volume, it's awesome and approximately as loud as my Sony MW-S202 music player with the same earplugs.
