Invisible Shield for iPod touch: Don't Get!

Question

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.
