Icondom vs Invisible shield

Hi,
I installed the Icondom on my nano and I am 100% satisfied with it,
I showed it to my friend who bought the invisible shield and he couldn,t believe it, the Icondom is less visible, his Invisible shield makes his nano looks blurry. He paid $20.00 for his invisible shield and I paid only $6.00 for my Icondom on e-bay!!!!!

tbh, i was under the impression that invisible shield was a 1 piece "case" type product, having looked deeper it's obviously the same type of "sticker" protection as icondom so the invisible shield doesn't appear to be worth the extra money (which bummed me out cos i ordered one a few days ago for $19.99c/£11.57p) but now this raises another problem, bear with me
when i got the nano, inside the box the nano had a "thick" polythene wraparound, obviously you take that bit off, but underneath that is a screen protector that covers the whole front of the player, now, this seem to be the same type of thing as the icondom/invisible shield, & after a week of being in my pocket this has now started to peel & it's actually torn a little bit, can i expect the same from the other "3rd party" products ? & if so how often would they need replacing ? (tho given the price i reckon i'll order a pack of icondom as backup straight away )
thanks for any help

Invisible Shield...to install or not to install.

I've been reading up on the invisible shield online and in this forum for about a week, I ordered mine last Tuesday, and I expect it to be in the mail today when I get home.
A couple things from my reading and talking to a friend who saw a black nano with the invisible shield:
Pros: Sleek, shows the ipod the way it was meant to be (sort of)
Cons:
A) I'm kind of scared putting a wet piece of plastic on my nano.
B) Leaves a lot of residue, in case I have to return nano to apple for service (very likely) will be a hassle.
C) Doesn't look as clean as would like
D) Can't use ipod for 24hours (yea, it's only a day, but after only having my nano for a week, this thing goes where I go, blasting constantly).
E) Deliberately putting water on my nano.....kind of freaks me out.
F) The back piece is a pain in the *** to put on from what i've read, and if I did this I might not put on the back, which kinds of conflicts the original point of buying one in the first place.
I'm currently using ipod socks on my nano and works pretty good. Only problem is that it slips out of the sock in my pocket sometimes. My friend said I should wash my sock and dry it in the dryer, and it will shrink and be a perfect fit.
I'm also kind of interested in a zcover but that has mixed reviews also, or an icondom.
Ultimately I will need to use my nano in an armband at the gym.
So give me some input. Should I use the invisible shield or return it? Should I continue to use the sock until something better comes along?
Any constructive input appreciated.

I spent a lot of time reading up on nano protectors before finally ordering the invisible shield. I had gotten over the fear of putting water on the nano after hearing about one that survived a washing machine. Follow the instructions on the website and you should be fine. Don't be afraid to readjust it several times when applying it, that did not appear to affect it at all. I did have a few air bubbles under the front piece(I did apply that first) but now after a week all but one has disappeared. The back was a little tricky but it actually came out looking better(no airbubbles at all). I have read about a lot of people leaving the back off because they don't care if that gets scratched. Granted it has only been a week but I have very happy with it so far. According to the site for invisible shield it will not leave residue when removed though I have not tested it myself. Hope this helps!

ICONDOM VS INVISIBLE

Hi,
For all those having troubles with installation of the Invisible shield, here's my comment.....I just received my Icondom for my new Ipod, it tooks me about 2 minutes to install and it's perfect fit. It cost me only $6.50 on e-bay and with the extra pieces included in the case, my Ipod is safe for at least the next 10 years!!!!!
Peter

Also I don't trust e-bay.....you will get money taken on you, me and two people I know got done on ebay, and ebay said the couldn't help us !!!!
Programme about ebay on the tv other night, even the police said the ebay didn't help them either!!!!
The reason ebay doesn't stop this shi* is the oldest one in the book!!!!
Even the guy who was a repeat offender, they still let him trade!!!!
It's a living joke, and ebay will go belly up, what goes up must come down !!!! True!!!

Invisible shield oups!

Hi,
my friend decided to put the Icondom I gave him from the kit I ordered for my nano, the problem is that he removed his Invisible shield and now theres a lot of residue that he cant get rid of, any idea how to remove it, he doesnt want to put the Icondom without cleaning this mess first, any help will be appreciated,
thanks
Mike

you might try a little windex
the important thing is to use a NON-ABRASIVE cloth otherwise you will definately get small scratches

READ THIS IF YOU BOUGHT INVISIBLE SHIELD WITH FREE SHIPPING!

I want to order an invisible shield with free shipping. about how long did it take to get to your location?

I don't think so cause i don't got a tracking number, a code or anything like that. I just got my order number from invisibleSHIELD but that's useless. I think i should start saying goodbye to my $30. Shipping by Miami Express i'll end spending more than what i paid for the invisibleSHIELD. Right now the only thing i can do is hope that someday it will arrive.

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?

Invisible shield left a sticky residue...how do i remove it

Hi everyone, I had a problem with my invisible shield so i called them up and they sent me a replacement. I just riped off the front of my invisible shield off of my 30gb ipod video i did it very slowly, but damm this thing was stuck down. Now it left a lot of sticky residue that i can not seem to remove. I have checked there website but found nothing regarding this. All they say is that it will remove with out leaving anything behind. Can someone give me some insight on how to remove this. I have tried spraying it with applicator solution and letting rubbing it, i have also tried rubbing it dry with my thumb in hopes to ball it up. None of this has been effective all it is doing is making it worse... please help

just did this yesterday on my ipod and mine also left a residue. I just used the applicator solution and those soft cleaning cloths that you use to clean glasses. It took a while but it eventually all came off, leaving a few new scratches. I had some old polish from an old ipod i had, and used that to mask the scratches. After I put the new sheild on, i could not see any more scratches. Just give it a little elbow greese.

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,

How to avoid water damage when installing invisible shield

Just wondering what you have to do to avoid water damage when installing Zagg invisible shield? What precautions should I take so that I do not damage the iPhone when installing Zagg Invisible shield?
Thanks and I look forward to your replies.
...B

Hi BGmail,
I would stay away from invisible shield by zagg or similar products. I tried it, waste of £15, could have got myself a dock stand for my phone for that ****!! The problem with IS(invisible shield) is that the screen protector has a rubber feel which makes it annoying when swiping your finger on it + it's not scratch proof at all!! Mine scratched 2 days after the installation so badly that I had to remove it. The back it's hard to apply, does not cover everything you'd like to, also a dust trap that could get between tha film and the phone causing it to scratch, some people reporting the film going yellow after a while(on white iPhones).
What I think of IS: A poor american product heavily/aggressive advertised!! Mine is off, using a hard clear plastic shell and a good screen protector, might look bulky but it's safe, only using the shell while at work, the iPhone is pretty tough, don't forget.
Your choice... Good luck !!

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.

Need help re invisible shield....quick it's drying!

Hi,
I need help re the invisible shield. I installed the front and back but here is the hitch-the front "sides" don't stay down. Did anyone have trouble with this? I didn't have the problem with the back "sides" I guess because they are so much wider.
Its drying as we speak.
Help!
Thanks!

i never applied pressure to anything, you must be doing something wrong. I drenched the entire shield: front, back , circle, and smaller circle in water with soap, then applied it. used a credit card to get out the air bubbles and then let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Dried on its own and have not had a problem. You should try reading the instructions that come in the envelope before you install it, using water alone does not help.

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.

Invisible Shield, iDiddy, or Martin Fields Protectors?

Hi all,
I just got my 5G iPod and am looking for a protector that is easy to put on and won't leave any residue if or when removed. Any recommendations? I've been considering the Invisible Shield, iDiddy, or Martin Fields Protectors.
Thanks,
Ed

My NOT so invisible shield

I have the black 60 gig iPod and I read everything that everyone wrote, the instructions from the web site, from the rainy day web site and the front of my screen is pretty funky. lots of wavy kinds of little scratch looking lines. like they came from my credit card while getting the water out. which shouldn't have happened.
I did not completely dip the shield in the soapy water, because I didn't want to put that much water on a $400 iPod and the company doesn't tell you to dip it, so I didn't. I did use a lot of water with very clean hands though, didn't have a problem with the alignment so much, though a little, but more that it screwed up my screen.
you can definitely tell there is something on my iPod. I think the quality of the protection is probably great, but I definitely have to contact the company tomorrow and see about what can be done, because my credit card should not have been able to put marks in the shield according to everyone else and now I am a little afraid to pull the thing off especially since I have nothing else to cover my shiny new iPod with.
anyone know how long you can leave it on and then take it off without ruining your iPod? I saw the instructions for removal and will get some goo gone in case I need it before I remove it.
I should also have had some tweezers to use instead of just my hands as a little bit at the top that is supposed to go around the curve folded over on itself and i could not get it apart, so had to cut that part off.
it's been 24 hours and i turned on my iPod and you can definitely tell there is something on my screen and it is not clear anymore.
I think the key is getting the thing REALLY wet and then being able to use the credit card to remove the water, but like i said, i was apprehensive to get my iPod that wet.
There should be a better solution, like apple making the iPod and especially the video screen, scratch resistant.

Yes, I did wet both sides, I just didn't dip the whole thing in the water, I wet it with my fingers, but in retrospect, I think the dipping, then shaking off the excess, is a better idea as then there are no fingerprints on the sticky side, and the whole thing is equally wet and soapy. I did tilt the card in the direction that I was scraping. I even used a brand new credit card. I was worried that I would damage the screen under the shield while squeeqee'ing the water out when I saw what it was doing on the outside. I even put more water on the top to keep it from catching on the rubber like surface while using the credit card in case that was the problem, but it didn't work.
I have to admit that I finally did pull it off of the front a couple of hours ago because I could never have lived with the marks all over the screen as I was trying to watch video after the 24 hours and I didn't want to leave it on any longer as I didn't want to have problems pulling it off at the click wheel. Which i didn't using tweezers to carefully pull it off.
I do need to get the goo off of the sides tomorrow with some goo gone. it sure does scratch easily though. I wish the invisible shield had worked for me as I think if you can get it on properly with no marks and no bubbles, it's pretty amazing protection. I left it on the back and am using plastic wrap to cover the front while it isn't on to protect it until I can get another kind of cover for it.
