For those like me that didn't like hard cases thinking they are too bulky, didn't like silicone case kaz we heard things abt trapping dust and dirt in between causing scratches, didn't like sleeves as they dun offer full protection:

I've had an invisble shield on my 3g for 2 years, i think it was great, except the corners start catching dust and starts peeling off.. and the back turned kinda orange/yellowish(my 3g was white) after a while...it was then it took the invisble shield off and bought a incase hard cover case... hated it due to itz bulkiness but i wanted protection...so what gives...i recently took it off kaz i didnt' care anymore as i'm planning to get the iphone 4

This shows a comparison for Invisible Shield vs Bodyguardz vs BSE vs Ghost Armor

results:
BSE = cheap but decent
invisible shield = not covering the metal/chrome
bodyguardz and ghost armor = good
Note: I'm neglecting the fact that he said the corners would peel off kaz i think every shield would do the same after a while due to 3g/s 's curve back

So naturally i went on and check out bodyguardz and ghost armor thinking that they maybe better than invisible shield

it was then i noticed something different..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJH3xZ5ZDwE - invisible shield
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w10uJ_CIb8Q - if u dun trust ads, heres a more "human" test for invisible shield
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ud0QXyyfSTI - bodyguardz

from the scratch test, both shields does protect the actual iphone, but invisible shield seems to be the stronger material as it doesn't even leave scratches on the film whereas bodyguardz does

so what do u guys think?
stronger film vs better coverage?

there are also some other factors:
1.. Customer Service/Warranty Policy: from things i read Invisible Shield does not cover for human mistakes whereas some other products do
2. Coverage: Does it covers the side? How about combining the shield and free bumper for maximum protection and epic coolness?

i aslo saw some reviews abt warpsol and sgp, but they don't look as strong tho

Also keep in mind that most cross-product comparison review out there are for the 3g/s so we should disregard the installation comments as i think iphone 4 would be WAY easier to install

I'd really appreciate feedbacks and more discussion :p
