iPhone in Canada Blog - Canada's #1 iPhone Resource

Well, I had one on my from an HTS and I liked it. Bought the 1st version for my 3G and the back sucked. So when I saw this, I sent a note to ZAGG and they will send me a new one, 4$ later.
Not bad as a customer service!

But I have to agree, the back piece is not the easiest to put on.

Guys, if you listen to all th erecommendations here, you’d have 10 cases on your 3G. Make your own mind please…

I thought spazzing at Toronto was our national pastime :b

LOL @ all the critics! My guess is lack of patience and not following instructions properly. Never, ever take one persons opinion as gold people. Do your own research and make YOUR OWN decision. If the first version doesn’t work for you, take it up with Zagg, they have excellent customer service IF you respect them as people and not “lose it” on them. I’ll be phoning today to see if the shields I received last week are the newer ones. If not, I’ll have them replaces. I won’t go “blaming” iPhone Fan for my decision to purchase these!!!

I have the previous version of the shield and I must say that it does suck just a little bit. The corners do take some time to put on and to tell you the truth, I gave up and left it looking ugly. I got my gf another shield but it was the newer version and she put it on like it was nothing. Definitely looks better then mine and less work on the install. I’m going to call ZAGG and give the new revised one a try and if it doesn’t work out, I’ll find another alternative.

Theres no point in giving iphonefan a hard time, he didn’t manufacture the shield, he is just giving his opinion and review about it. If you decided to get the IS solely on his opinion, then its really is your fault for not researching more. Although he obviously has skilled fingers that I don’t have.

Hi,

I have got zagg invisiblesheild privately from somebody i know.
I have applied it on my 3g 16gb black one and sadly the corners does not look good.
I am not sure how to take off the old one? i just dont want to try pulling it off just like that unless there is a specific way recommended to do that.

I read in the forum you guys discussing about the new zagg invisibleshield with better cuts for corner fitting. Do you think zagg company will be willing to send me one? since i bought my previous invisibleshielf privately?

Any suggestion?
I will appreciate that.

Just to let everyone know, the above post written by X1Zero was before he took his “special medicine” so feel free to ignore him.

haha…well said Tim. It’s kind of entertaining to see all these different responses though. It’s like one giant social experiment–WHO IS THE SCAPE GOAT FOR MY BAD INSTALL? KILL IPHONE FAN!!!

to the above comment:
When u purchase the IS (from anybody) u MUST register the product, well unless u stole it from someoneelse or got it illegally… >_<. LOL!!!! U can go to the zagg website to register and u have 2 options to choose from, “have u purhased it from zagg website” or “thru 3rd party” which is in ur case!
So go register ur product and get the NEW and REVISED IS!!!!!! ^_^

Invisible Shield simply sucks. Even the revised version.
First of all due to the change of the design it now covers less.
Second the glue behind the film has changed and it is not now possible to soak it and move it. When you put it on, it’s there to stay, no tilting. Which again makes it impossible to install, and ridiculous to use.

can you tell the difference between old and new versions of the IS by the package?
e.g. part number, or other indication?

I notice at least one local retailer (London Drugs) is now carrying the IS for iPhone 3G. but I wonder which version it is?

I’m trying to install mine right now and I think I’ll just forget about it. Not the miracle I was expecting. And wait I will have to wait between 12 and 24 hours!?

i just order one. how long does it take until i receive it? i hope its not 4 weeks…

I just did another install on my iPhone 3G and it was flawless. I left my iPhone on the entire time.

hey there, i was wondering, if i am buying this from a store, (NOT online)
how do i know if it is the revised version? is there some tell tale sign on the box for example?
please let me know,
thanks.

My wife presented me with a iPhone for Christmas, and I was thrilled! I got one of these protectors for the front of my iPhone. I must say, it took three attempts at applying it, but after the third attempt, this protector really “shines.” People don’t even know I have a protector applied to the screen when I show them, and it’s very durable. I am impressed. By the way, the iPhone rocks! It’s so addicting!

Just received IS for 3G from Amazon. The package came complete with one exception, the spray top was loose and the bottle empty! I’m considering sending it back, but wonder if I can use another liquid instead (i.e. water)??? I don’t want to return and wait again another 2-3 weeks for shipment that may have same results. Any thoughts? Soapy water? Alcohol/water? anyone?

yes, just use soapy water.
but it has to be quite thinned out

Exercise in frustration in putting it on. Went through the whole bottle of spray trying to get this thing on. Sticks like glue no matter how much I sprayed. Impossible to adjust. Next to impossible to get the bubbles out and get it on without finger prints. Everything sticks, except the corners. Returning this P.O.S. immediately. Too rubberyon the front makes multi-touch incredibly difficult to use.

The install is actually tough for me, so I just go to the mall to the ZAGG booth and the nice girl does a perfect install replaces my worn out shield within 20 min. I even get a cool velvet ZAGG pouch every time for 7$ only.

I like this article! Will come again next time for sure, thank again
