Hey everyone. So after the three week Stealth Guard extravaganza, I decided it was time to make a full review on these suckers.
Alright, so let me first start off with pros and cons
(Sadly, there are more cons than pros)
Pros:
Cheap in price
Feels good in your hand
Ok quality material
Cons:
Backing does not FULLY cover back!
Bad costumer support
No instructions
No "solution" (you must make your own)
Collects fingerprints easily
Distorts screen
Comes in an envelope, which could easily be bent.
Ordering
Ok so, when you order from Stealth Guards you feel like it's a scam. You don't get any notification of when it's shipped, and there is no way to contact them via phone. Only email. I never got a shipment notification, the only way I knew it had shipped was by emailing the company.
Installation
Alright, so here's my thoughts.
First off, while there are cutouts for the cameras, home button, etc, you have to punch them out manually which is very hard.
MAKE SURE: You do not get any finger prints on the protector when taking it off, you cannot get these off and it will look bad.
Sadly, they do not include any instructions on how to install the product. The only thing by way of instructions they have is a horrible youtube video on their website which is hard to find.
In the video they say you need to use "solution" well they neglected to tell you anywhere on the website what the heck the solution is and how to get it. After hours of reserach, I found that you must make your own solution.
Here's how to make it:
1. Get a spray bottle
2. Fill it with cold water
3. Add 1-2 drops of liquid soap and shake well.
There! Now you have your "solution!"
Other notes:
Make sure not to use too much when spraying the solution on the sticky side of the shield. You don't want to soak your iPod.
Now at first, after applying the shield, give it AT LEAST 24 hours. I repeat, AT LEAST. It will look like crap at first; but don't give up. It must dry. It will start to look better after even a few hours.
Should you get this product?
Alright, so you read all that and are still probably wondering, is it worth it?
It is ONLY worth it if you do the $2 deal. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT pay anymore for this product. It's a knockoff of zagg and is overall very horrible.
You get what you pay for.
Closing comments
So I ended up taking off the front because it distorts the retina display. It's amazing the difference on and off. Also, the backing shield you get does not cover all the back. I was very disappointed about this. So you will still want to get a case along with the shield.
Installation is hard
No Instructions
Distorts retina display
Does not fully protect iPod body
Here's some pictures to show a comparison on and off.
