Hard Shell or Rubber Case on the top of the invisible shield?

Hey Guys,
I have installed the invisible shield on my iPhone 3G S and let it to dry for around 3 days now .. I just wanted to install shell on the top of it just in case to protect it from any drop damages and so on. The question is : Is it safe to install a hard shell cover on the top of the invisible shield ? or is the hard shell cover is going to harm the invisible shield in the long term?
Thanks in advance,
Rashid

Our MBP is an A1278  (uni-body) bought in NZ 28 June 2011. S/N: CO2FW8NVDH2G
It looks more like a bit of dark grey foam rubber with a smooth coating . Was attached to the retaining bar and/or plastic pull tab on top of the display data cable connector and about the same length across and tapering towards the cable that goes to the display. I may be thick but who, what and where are OWC?
What problems could an insularor cause? I had another reply from someone via ifixit who said he liked the idea of a bit of neoprene replacing the lost pad! What to do?
Thanks for your time replying
John

  • The Invisible Shield

    I just got my Invisible Shield. I hate it. Application was ****, and to lift up and re-apply leaves lines / fingerprints. I'm sending it back, and they will send me a new one free of charge. If it doesn't look well, it's going back. When / if my iPod gets too scratched at any time, I will use Brasso to remove scratches.
    This is a good concept, but I don't feel that it's application is very easy, nor is the result appearence of the product.

    don't go for what looks to be the best deal (the cheapest). Go for the IS, it's fully worth every dollar. Best investment for my iPod this far. Once applied & dried it really fits like a glove (even better).
    Before I had the IS applied I was really worried about scratching the iPod (even by just looking at it) and was seriously orienting on what case to buy. Now I still use the original case shipped with the iPod but in fact I don't really bother: The IS really protects it that good that a case really is not needed anymore!
    Take our advise at heart and go for the Invisible Shield.

  • Something went wrong with the invisible shield application

    After putting on the invisible shield, I was really happy because it turned out great. I waited about two to three hours then started using it.
    To my horror, I think my nano might have shorted out because when I press play the song changes. sometimes the play/pause button doesnt even do anything when i press on it...when i touch the volume control, it increases and decreases erratically regardless of what im trying to do...sometimes it even seems like my nano has a mind of its own because when i simply move the nano, without touching the controls, the song changes or the volume changes.
    this erratic behavior occurs sporadically. sometimes my nano works fine. then right when i think all is well, my nano becomes possessed. is it possible that my nano has shorted out? maybe i should let it dry?

    hey carl,
    The process of applying the shield requires that I wet the film with soap and water. What do you suggest I do? My mistake was that I did not put on the hold button when I was applying the wet film and thus my ipod turned on while I was putting on the shield. i realize now that my nano should not have turned on for 24 hours. Should I just wait and see if the funky behavior goes away? or should i visit the nearest apple store?

  • Is this really a Shieldzone the 'Invisible Shield'?

    Hi
    I ordered a Shieldzone skin for my nano, and as I'm in the uk I couldn't order from the USA site, so found a company through Amazon to buy it from. It arrived today, but on the packaging, rather than a Sheildzone logo, there's a CAPDASE logo. Overall the product looks like a cheap version. Have I been 'done' here? Not knowing what the proper product should look like, i just wanted to get some advice before 'kicking-off' at the company thats sent it.
    Any help greatly received.
    Cheers
    Wayne

    Shieldzone is the company that makes the Invisible shield.
    http://www.shieldzone.com/
    Looks like Capdase (http://www.capdase.com/) is a completely different company.
    If you go here -> http://www.capdase.com/index.php?page=product&type=8&cat=5&brand=5
    Quite a few language/speeling errors also.
    Looks like a Japanese/Chinese company with no one really reviewing the language conversion on the website.

  • Do Apple Stores stock the Invisible Shield?

    Im based in the uk, but a friend is heading over to San Fransico next week and im wondering if the apple stores stock the invisible shield or will i have to order from the invisible shield website?
    cheers guys

    Hi there,
    AFAIK the only way to get them is via their website.
    I'm from Germany and have been looking around the last days to find a German or at least European dealer, thinking it might arrive faster. Haven't had any luck though :/
    So, I ordered mine 2 days ago via the website. I'm pretty curious how long it will take to arrive here.
    Cheers from Germany,

  • Replacing the nano battery with the invisible shield... How?

    Does anyone know how the invisible shield will work when the battery needs to be replaced? I am looking for a permanent solution. While I know that I will be able to peel the Invisible Shield off for the battery replacement, the shield will become stretched and distorted. At this point I will not have a shield, and don't have to want to buy another one. The only solution I think would be possible is if there was a way to slice the shield with a razor (around the seam). Any ideas. Perhaps I shouldn't buy the Invisible shield, it might just be a short term solution.
    Anyone?

    Actually, I think the more prudent question is whether or not the nano will even be accepted for battery replacement by Apple, or anyone else with a cover like that attached to it.
    They could even charge extra money to deal with it, I can see either situation as being realistic.
    If that does turn out to be the situation, then it would come down to a matter of costs as far as what you would need to do.
    That being said, I personally think it is way too early to even worry about things like that since it is years off at a minimum, and it could very possibly never need to be done.

  • Should I get "The Invisible Shield for PowerBook"?

    Hi, has anyone bought the Invisible shield for PowerBooks? I wanted to get one to help protect my PowerBook palm rest area and clicker from pitting/scratches (my other PowerBook started to pit after about a year). Is it as invisible on the PowerBook as it is on an iPod? Would you'll recommend "The Invisible Shield" for PowerBooks? Thanks in advance for any help!

    I use the Marware Protection Pack from http://www.marware.com
    It has an adhesive wrist area protector that looks really slick and is comfortable to use. It also comes with a screen cloth and a keyboard cover to protect the screen from the keys. All for 20.00.

  • Did anyone have success applying the invisible shield to their ipad?

    Did anyone have success applying the Invisible Shield to their Ipad?

    Yes.  Make sure any iPad Cover that you have for it is removed first.  Then, start at the bottom where the On/Off button is.  Peel off only a small section of the bottom of the invisible layer and attached the small exposed sticky side to the bottom of the iPad.
    Line it up as best as you can.  Placing the edge of the iPad against a flat surface like a wall or backsplash on a kitchen counter can help you to keep the invisible sheet "square" with the iPad surface.
    Was that a confusing answer?

  • Recommend a hard-shell iPad 2 case without flap?

    Hi:
    I’ve been looking for a good quality hard-shell case without a flap for the iPad 2.  Something that’s the equivalent of a Speck case for the iPhone.  All the cases I’ve found, so far, that are pretty durable have a flap for the screen. 
    Something equivalent to this:
    Haven’t found anything yet.  Any leads please would be appreciated!  Cheers.

    Thanks Demo!  I checked out a few of the different types of OtterBox offerings.  I also found iLounge discussion forums which has a crazy amount of reviews on the topic of cases for the Ipad (and I mention it here in the event that another person searches a similar topic as mine).
    I got a couple of ideas from this too:
    http://tommyj.hubpages.com/hub/Top-Ten-Best-iPad-Cases-Skins-and-Hard-Case-Revie w
    What I’d really like though is something without a front covering -- sort of a modified Defender --  Mainly for use on younger kid’s ipads that may be dropped on occasion
    That said, I had the Defender for my iPhone -- man was that a seriously rugged case.  Almost too much for what I wanted -- I ended up with the Speck CandyShell because it was lower-profile and easier to get in and out of my pocked.  Though the Defender is a favorite choice of people I know who really need rugged and are doing work on job sites or the like where dropping a phone is more likely to break it!

  • Water under the screen while applying the invisible shield

    I was applying the full body invisible shield and since it was difficult to apply the back(as suggested by every one) I did it one night switched the phone off all the time and the next morning it was fine and i loved it as it was looking good and on top of it it was protecting the back side of the phone.
    The next night i applied the front side(supposed to be the easy side and child's play) and to my annoyance when I switched the phone back on in the morning there was water(? solution for applying the screen protector)under the screen. The screen looks awful
    The ringer volume plays up now and switching on the phone is a bit cumbersome as it plays (sometimes in one go sometimes I have to use the home button and the power button together).
    My phone is new ,bought on the 2nd of April 2010 and what do I do now? will apple warranty cover this?

    Apple will not cover any moisture damage to the iPhone.
    You can see if the moisture sensors are tripped or not. If they are then you are out of luck on warranty, no questions asked. Here is Apple's support document of inspecting the moisture sensors...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3302
    If the sensors are not tripped, Apple would probably not cover the iPhone under warranty if there is visible signs of water (or liquid) behind the screen. If the button problems are not that bad, then you could switch the iPhone off and place in a bag of dry rice. It might help draw out some of liquid from the screen.
    Personally I would stay away from anything that requires liquid to install. If done wrong it can kill the phone, which may be the case here. You can still make an appointment at an Apple store to look into an out of warranty replacement, which would get you a refurbished iPhone for a flat rate. The other option would be to check to see if there are any local third party repair centers. They may be cheaper than the out of warranty replacement, but at the same time could be more.

  • Does The Invisible Shield Marr Out Existing Scratches On iPod?

    When you put an invisible shield on your ipod, do you no longer notice the scratches that exist on your ipod?

    i'm also wondering if the crystal shield by istyle does the same thing.

  • The Unusual Case of The Invisible Font.

    Strange problem with AppleCasual font. I used it not too long ago. Today I go to access it and it is not listed in the font list. So...I go into Font Book and there it is, active and listed. I make sure that there is no problem with it and validate the font. FB says "Super, no problem", so I close FB, restart and still no font. All other fonts are available, just not this one. So...I moved the font from my use folder to the library for the system. Still doesn't show up.
    I do a search from the Finder for the words "casual", "Applecasual" and it won't be found. However, I go to the fonts folder (Mac:library folder) and there it is.
    I by now assuming there is something wrong with it anyway. Go to my installation disk — font can't be found on it. Go to the Apple site and search for the font — not found.
    So I am stuck. Anyone have any idea what the problem is?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Ah, I see. Didn't know there was another library —
    in the System folder. I checked there and no font in
    there but found other components including Ink.
    I don't think you understood the notation being used. You might want to learn how it works, in case you face a similar issue in the future:
    System/Library/Components/Ink.component/Contents/SharedSupport/InkServer.app/Con tents/Resources/Apple Casual.dfont
    Means that the actions you take are the following: Open System Folder, Open Components Folder, Open Ink.component folder, Open Contents Folder, Open SharedSupport Folder, Do Control + Click on InkServer.app and select "show package contents", Open Contents folder, Open Resources folder, find Apple Casual.dfont.

  • The case of the invisible printer!!! ya printer issue that suck.

    so we have an interesting issue here:
    last week i attempted to print an essay and it would not print. i died because that thing was due the next day. i tried printing from another computer, but i was still failing epically. i remember this happening in the past with same issue. i thought about how i fixed it:
    i recall reloading the software. sounded simple enough. so, i dug out the software disk for my printer, and began the process. however, problems came up when i was asked to directly connect to the printer i was installing. it said no printer was found, and i said "youve got to be kidding me." i tried multiple times. but, each time i got the same obnoxious error of "no printer detected".
    so i check to make sure everything was plugged in right and everything appeared fine...
    i just dont understand it.
    oh ya the model would be helpful:
    i have the: HP Officejet 7210 All-in-One
    its a copier, photo printer, fax machine, scanner and, of course, home printer. its connected via usb plug.
    thanks to all those who respond!

    If using another cable fixed things, then it sounds like the original cable you have is broken. Perhaps try printing several times with a different cable to see if the issue is cleared up.
    Most office supply stores have USB cables (basically, if they sell printers, they should have the cables as well), and I don't believe they're too expensive.

  • Should I get the Invisible Shield for the iphone 4?

    I need to know for sure. I want my $300 investment pristine.

    I have IS on my iPhone 4.
    One of the major drawbacks is that they send you very little of the liquid. For the large front and back pieces, spray directly onto them, but for the smaller pieces, I suggest spraying the liquid onto another clean surface (I used the leftover part from the big pieces) and then slide the smaller piece against the clean surface that has been sprayed to pickup the liquid. As you apply the smaller pieces to the phone, you can just slide those pieces against the clean surface you sprayed to pick up the liquid. If you need more liquid, spray the surface again. It's just a waste to spray the smaller pieces directly. Remember, don't spray your phone directly.
    It's hard to get the smaller pieces to line up "perfectly" because they slip and slide so much and because they do not cover the whole phone. For example, the parts that cover the steel rim do not cover the entire width of the rim, so you have to line up the strip in the "middle" of the rim so it looks nice, but it's hard to keep the IS strips straight.
    The front and back pieces will not cover 100% of the glass, although they will cover 99.9% of it. The piece for the home button is not as large as the button itself, so it won't cover the whole button.
    It will also have that orange peel effect, but only if you look at the phone at an angle. You should not notice the orange peel effect during normal usage.
    The IS strips do not prevent the antenna problems that some people see (I can recreate the issue with the IS strips on).
    Most importantly, when applying the IS do it in a room with minimal dust. I significantly sized piece of dust made it on to the adhesive side of my front IS and is visible while using the phone. I'm going to have to try to reapply the screen, but of course I used up all the liquid so I'll have to figure out what to do about that.
    Anyone know what exactly that liquid they use is?
