I'd like to buy the "invisible shield" for my video iPod but ....

.... since I live in the Netherlands I have to pay an extra shipping & handling fee of almost $70,= !!! Which makes the total price almost 100 bucks for two pieces of plastic!
My question: Does anybody happen to know whether there is a local reseller in the netherlands for this protecting shield?
Thx,
Jan.

Thanks all for your help: I think the trick was "deselecting" the butten in front of the UPS shipping... I clicked on it once (it doesn't look like a clickable option) and noticed that "Shipping & handling" was set at $0.
I placed my order for $24. Now I just have to wait and hope I won't run into problems applying this shield to my iPod.
BTW: I just managed to succesfully convert one of my U2 dvd's to the correct iPod format: It looks/sounds great. It brought a big smile on my face, love this piece of art...

  • 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.

  • Invisible shield for 5G 30gb ipod in london or surrey?

    Does anyone know a local store where I can buy this invisible shield? I'm currently in Surrey England and will be in another country by next week so I cannot order this item online. I'm giving this ipod as a present and I want it to be protected before giving this away.

    Ken,
    As far as I am aware you can only buy invisible
    shield direct online. Why don't you email them and
    see if they have agents anywhere just in case?
    thanks for the advise, you're right, maybe I'll just give them an email.

  • The Invisible Shield for Zen Vison

    Just wondering if anyone has this on there Vison: M at all? I did order it for my Zen and my PPC-6700, but would be nice to hear some user reviews on it. Here is a test on it with a video iPod

    I have it. It definitely is strong and will prevent scratches.
    Despite what the directions say, you should get the application right the first time. Once you start pulling it up it really starts looking bad. The overall look is like you vacuum seals your zen in plastic.

  • 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?

  • Where do you get the invisible shield for 5G ipod?

    where do you get it? do they even make it for the black 5G 60GB ipod? also any idea if there's gonna be the agent 18 clickshield for said ipod? thanks

    I've tried several different screen protectors for ipod, psp, and cell phone, and these are absolutely the best in my opinion. they offer great protection with NO degradation to the video/graphics when viewed with it on...

  • 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.

  • Invisible Shield for iPod touch: Don't Get!

    Worst product ever.
    Do not get. If you are wondering how to protect your iPod the invisible shield is NOT the answer. I have used many of ShieldZone / Zaggs products before without problem but the Invisible shield for the iPod touch is terrible.
    For whatever reason the back shield will nor adhere the he curvature of the Touch and the shield for the front of the touch was cut too large and will never fully adhere to the slight bevel around the perimeter of the screen.
    Be advised AVOID THIS PRODUCT!

    I just finished the application process for my full body Invisible Shield. Overall, it went very well but there are a couple of bubbles and/or imperfections on the front shield that would compel me to ask the company for a replacement if they do not work themselves out over the next 2-3 days like the instructions say. So I'll reserve judgment for now, but here are my overall impressions:
    1) The material is fantastic. It doesn't show fingerprints when you touch it, it's very transparent, and it feels very nice to the touch. It does stink a little if you put your nose up to it, but I don't plan on sniffy my iPod too often. LOL.
    2) The back shield installation actually went better than the front. The back shield is virtually flawless and you can't even tell it's on. I didn't have any trouble getting the curved parts to adhere at all. However, I was slightly off in my centering and the top edge covered my Hold button just a tiny bit. Rather than completely remove and reapply, I took a small pair of scissors and just cut a tiny slit right where the shield was overlapping my Hold button a bit. Voila! The back shield is awesome and will seemingly protect that chrome for a long time. The shield material actually has a little more friction to the touch, which might help you prevent dropping the iPod.
    3) The front shield (which I applied first) didn't go quite so well (perhaps because it was my first time). When I first put it on, I was off a bit and had to pull it back off. When I reapplied, I got the centering pretty good but now there are several bubbles and a couple of lines going across the material that I can't seem to work out with the included rubber thingamabob. If they don't work themselves out, I might try removing the shield again and trying once more. Otherwise, I'm going to have to ask for a replacement because it is distracting.
    More importantly, the front shield doesn't interfere with the "touch screen" at all and you can't really tell that it's on (except for the aforementioned bubbles/lines). I don't know how long it will last before you need a new one, but I would definitely recommend the product but just be very careful the first time you apply it.
    I will report back in a day or two and let you guys know if the imperfections works themselves out.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • 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

  • 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,

    Apple does not take trade-ins. You'll have to look for a dealer that does, though you'll probably get more for the iPad 1 if you sell it yourself.
