Invisible Shield, iDiddy, or Martin Fields

Hi all,
Do any of you have any preference for shields for the iPod? Looking for something easy to put on that won't leave any residue if removed.
Thanks,
Ed

Hi Ed,
I was kind of skeptical about putting on the invisible shield, but after reading others advice, I SLOWLY with much patience applied the invisible shield on my black 5g ipod.
I put it on immediately after removing the factory plastic protection, so my hands never touched the ipod itself.
It is very tough, and I have no fear of any damage to it without a case. There is a very slight texture to it, but it is nearly invisible. Also, the screen is not affected at all by it. It also adds a bit of a 'grip' to it so it doesnt really slide around if I leave it on slick surfaces.
I put mine on perfectly the first try, but I wonder how removal will be if necessary. (lifetime replacement is nice)
I think the key for this product is 'slow & deliberate'.
Sorry for rambling, hope this helps.
-Dave.

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

Martin Fields V Invisible Shield

Just wondering what you guys think is better out of the two film protectors.
Also, anybody found them in the UK, or from US with free shipping?

I have to say i was disappointed with invisible shield because... i never got it and was charged for it and the crap explanation i was giving is because i chose free shipping so unless they get the item back they cannot refund my money so the package is somewhere out there i cant use it cos i dont have and yet i'm paying for it because they supposedly shipped it. On the flipped side i just installed the martin fields and its great it blends verywell and is protects properly but make sure your carefull when applying because my first attempt trapped dust particles but my second was fine. One minor complaint and im nitpicking is that the shield is glossy hence easily smudges not scratches just smudges which is easily wiped off. In summary for my marin field is an A star product, invisible shield no no because i never tested one. PS i used free shipping for both and i live in the UK. hope this helps

Anyone ever used decalgirl shield and martins field?

Anyone ever bought any protective shields from these companies? I would love to hear your experiences on the product. Even if you have a nano and not a video Id still like to hear it. How do they compare to invisible shield?

Hi! I bought a skin and the screen armor for my iPod from DecalGirl. The screen armor has no scratches so far so I don't know if it's doing it's job or not but I MUST say that IT IS NOT CLEAR. There are various tiny bubbles that I can't out and once you take it off you have to put in a new one, they're not reusable AT ALL in my experience. It looks speckled and it's not clear like it should be so I don't recommend the screen armor from Decalgirl but the skins are okay. I bought an invisibile shield but don't plan on using it after finding out that I had to use soapy water to apply it, and plus it apparently leaves a sticky residue behind. I hope this helps! I may end up using the invisible shield but only after I get over the fact that there's water involved. xD

I have a decalgirl shield, it was pretty cheap of ebay and does the job brilliantly. Was quick and easy to apply but i'd say it will need replcing every 12 months or so.

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,

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...

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.
