Invisible Shield for white iphone

I have heard that the invisible shield fluid that comes with the shield turns the white back on the iphone yellow. Does it? I could not find any pictures of a white iphone with the shield on.

Invisible shield liquid: windex
iPhone material: acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (some sort of plastic alloy)
together: may discolor, wear, faint over time
iPhone by itself: may discolor, wear, faint over time anyways (that's what acrylonitrile butadiene styrene does anyhoo)
the white iPhone is lose-lose situation over time (much like the white Macbook), unless put in a sleeve or case as often as possible (and cleaned from time to time)
I have made two attempts to put this shield on my while iPhone (the back side) with no success. I also have no discoloration from the attempted applications though. Perhaps because I cleaned it off right away...

INVISIBLE SHIELD for the IPhone

Has anyone tried or installed the INVISIBLE SHIELD on their IPhone?
http://www.invisibleshield.com/cell-phone/apple/iphone.php
It looks to be great for scratch protection but my concern is does it give you more security in handling the IPhone from slipping from your hands. I have come very close to dropping the IPhone more than once because of its very slick surface. Any input would be very much appreciated.

I have it on my iphone and I must say, it's probably the best purchase I have made for my iphone. Prevention against slipping, I would have to say it prevents this very little. I still had an instance where it slipped out of my hand (fell only on my bed thank god). But it is amazing against scratches. I was in FL 2 months ago and I had my gf put my iphone in her purse bc I did not have pockets on my shorts. Not be as casrful as I am, she put the face directly against her credit card and 2 hrs later, I had her credit card #s imprinted on my iphone. I was very upset but after about another hour, the imprints were completely gone and not one single scratch was left on the phone.

For all the folks who pre-order the ZAGG invisible shield for the iPhone 3G

My shield did not fit properly, so I emailed ZAGG. Here is what I got back:
"When we created the design for the Apple iPhone 3G we had very limited access to the actual device. We were able to complete a design for it and get this shipped for our customers so they would have protection for their Apple iPhone 3G as soon as possible. After having more time with the Apple iPhone 3G we have improved our design by making a slight change. This change makes the installation process easier and provides more protection, including covering both bevels fully.
If you would like a replacement invisibleSHIELD for your Apple iPhone 3G for the new design, we would be happy to send you a free warranty replacement.
Per the Lifetime Replacement Guarantee, your replacement invisibleSHIELD is free!

This is really bad customer service. Because they had to guess on the iPhone 3G measurements, I need to pay out of pocket to get a replacement (shipping cost)??

EVERYONE... I pre-ordered also and got the original one on but it didn't look great so I called and got the new redesigned one sent to me.
IT IS TERRIBLE. The redesigned one is worse than the first one. The front screen wraps around the edges of the phone. If you haven't looked there is a seam that runs around the front glass piece. This causes major air bubbles and making it impossible to put the redesigned on on.
Also the back has its problems too.
Best solutions.
1. return it all and get your money back.
2. get another one reshipped but make sure it is the original.
I got the original one shipped to me again and got it on correctly but after a few days it keeps fraying up. Whats next......

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?

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.

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.
PowerBook G4 15; 1.67 GHz; 512MB; 100GB; SuperDrive Mac OS X (10.4.3)

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.

Which cases should I use for white iphone 4

I like Otterbox but they have a disclaimer that states their cases are not white iPhone 4 compatible.

The Defender case is great but I found out after purchasing that it doesn't work with my white iphone 4 (My screen doesn't blank out when on a phone call, causing random dialing, enabling speakerphone, etc).
Here's what otterbox.com says, "Not compatible with WHITE iPhone 4. Due to a slight change of the proximity sensor for the white Apple iPhone 4, the OtterBox Defender Series, Commuter Series, Reflex Series and Impact Series cases will not work with this new device."
Strange that they say the Commuter and Reflex Series will not work since they do not appear to cover the sensor like the Defender... but not sure it is worth trying.

Check your store for White iPhone 4

Hey all,
This is for people to respond if they have called their store to confirm if they will or will not have white iPhone 4's, and also how will they be distributed if they do have them? Ex: First come first serve only or available to first people with reserves. *Note that stores will most likely vary, so tell us what you find out! I will be calling my store today after my lunch break because I assume they will ge their stock in around then.

I just got off the phone with my local Apple store and they said they were not getting them tomorrow and didn't have a date. I called my local radio shack and they said they weren't going to be available for another 2 months.

Black iphone 5 for white iphone 5

If you bought the black one less than 2 weeks ago, you can return it for a refund and buy whatever you want. Otherwise, no.

Trade in for white iPhone 4

So I got my iPhone 4 in September of 2010, is there any way possible I can do like a trade in for the white iPhone 4 without paying a HUGE amount of money!?

No, Apple does not do trade in's. You could sell it and put the money towards purchasing a white one.

Anyone get Invisble Shield for their iphone?

I have this for my ipod and love it, tech support there said tested and wouldn't interfere w/ touching screen or hearing calls. Anyone have it and thoughts? Thanks, here's the link. http://www.shieldzone.com/

i purchased this for my iPhone:
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/accessory-details/?qcategoryid=cat980639&q_sku=sku980650&requestid=114485
since i've been talking to people that deal with electronics, it was best for me not to buy a protective shield. these professionals(two electronic store associates) say that it can cause static on my electrical device. till i hear otherwise, i will not buy it. also, the website by poster angusfan says that the protective shields are used in the military for the blades of the helicopters, hence protective shields are not used on an electrical device.
if anyone has hard facts or read more into the website, please feel free to share.

ZAGG full body shield not really good for white iPhones

Ive installed one of these on my old black 3G....its nice until it start peeling cause of lint and dirt catching on the edges...
Since i got the white 3GS...i tried installing the ZAGG shield...i noticed after a few weeks its turning yellowish...its not a huge deal...but for guys who want to keep the bright white look this might be a let down...it actualy makes it look like the iphone white case is old

Yeah mine isn't looking that great on my white phone. I've had it like a month and it's a little yellow and the corners are dirty. That's my only real complaint though. It does a great job and protecting the phone itself. Unless you drop it. Which I don't plan to do. I've had all 3 iPhones and I just don't drop them. (fingers crossed. Lol)

Can i swap black iphone 4 for white iphone 4?

I am going to take my black iphone 4 back for a replacment because there is a fault in the screen, but i am wondering if instead of getting a black one in return i could have a white one? Please help:)

Probably not. Typically they replace a defective unit only with the exact same model. But you can ask Apple and see.
Regards.
