Re: Invisible Gadget Guard.

Not bashing the product...but it looks like a knockoff of the Invisible Shield by Zagg.

Re: Invisible Gadget Guard.

I had Invisible Shield on my Instinct and found it to feel very rubbery, yellow/brownish tint and imperfections throughout the material. I liked the ease of application as it goes on like window tint and virtualy no bubbles. I chose to go with a less talked about product by Boxwave  http://www.boxwave.com/products/cleartouch/cleartouch-screen-protector-sprint-hero_3718.htm I like how clear this product is and hope it mintains the clarity of the glass screen and allows colors to stay true. I guess I'll find out soon whether it was a good decision.

Re: Invisible Gadget Guard.

I saw the same thing on eBay. Did some reading up on it and got mixed results. Some said it was good. A lot said it was junk. Decided not to get it.

Hey CoronaDoug...

 

Let us know what you think about the Wrapsol.  I debated on whether to get that one too, but in the end, it looked too much like Invisible Shield.

Re: Invisible Gadget Guard.

I have it now (got it off e-bay).  I have mixed feelings about it.  I like it better than the Zagg Invisible Shield because it's much thinner.  However, it appears to be getting a few nicks and scrapes on it (and I baby the phone so I'm not quite sure why).

Re: Invisible Gadget Guard.

I, too, went with Boxwave's ClearTouch screen protector.  Bought both the Anti-Glare and Crystal versions.  Using the Anti-Glare one now and am very pleased with it's fit and function.

Re: Invisible Gadget Guard.

I just installed the Wrapsol. It came with 3 parts. The screen shield, back shield, and a shield for the lower ball. button area.

NOTE: It does not cover the front gray area along the touchscreen or the mouth piece and ear area. Do the others cover this area (Zagg invisashield)?? 

Overall install was pretty easy. The texture on the back is very nice. The screen is a little hazy right now so I will have to wait and see if it clears up.

Just an update...I had the Boxwave antiglare on for 2 days then couldn't take anymore and pulled it. I feel like it distorted the screen resolution, almost making it look like a metallic clearcoat (that's the best way for me to describe it). Also, it sounded like sandpaper. When swiping. I loved its ease of application and how it becomes part of the screen with zero bubbles. I am going to try the crystal clear now. Perhaps I will send this one back. Oh, as a side note....scotch tape will clean the bottom button pad on the Hero, making it look very silver, apparently like when it was new. I guess its one of those things you don't notice until you try it! I have kept my phone clean as a whistle, but the metal gets almost a tarnished on it. I discovered it while using tape to remove the screen guard (used a peice of scotch tape to grab the bottom of screen and it came in contact with the metal...lol
