hmmm interesting...so no orange peel huh? good to know!
looks alright
might get this until powersupport is in stores
thanks for the pic
I just got one. I like the back, but that wavy look and rubbery feel on the front sucks. I took off the front and threw it away. Not sure if that's just how it is or if I did something wrong. I actually like the matte look and feel on the back.
Now if apple would hurry up and ship my bumper that I ordered 2 weeks ago, I might feel decently protected.
EDIT: the wavy look on the front is only visible when you look at a reflection on the phone. Still, it totally takes away from the perfection.

Just a word of advice if you install one.
The "finishing film" is a real bitch to get off with the pull tab. I ended up having to heat it up with a hair dyer to get them to separate. Even then, it still pulls the shield up as it was coming off and there are now some bubbles in my screen that won't "self heal". Also blew something onto the shield while I was heating it up somehow. Not super impressed with install method and instructions, especially for the price.
Screen looks just as good with the shield on though, and I'm 50/50 on the matte finish on the back. Feels good, looks "meh".

Can someone help me. I read the instructions perfectly. I've started with the back (just in case I mess up) with the ZAGG IS dry application. However, I can't seem to get the stupid cover backing off without lifting all the edges (almost like it's not sticking)
If you're anything close to a perfectionist, I would suggest against this. There's pretty much no way to get it perfectly straight. Also, even if you manage to install it perfectly, there's a waviness to the front that is visible in any reflections.
These little things totally ruin the phone in my opinion... but so do scratches. It's a tough bind. I just want to have my beautiful perfection of a phone all the time. Sadly that's usually impossible.

So the DRY shields from Invisible Shields is not perfectly crystal clear??? I see from the pictures on the 1st page that it's not and looks like a little of the orange peel affect. I would of thought that the DRY shields would have the same pure clear film as other vendors. Can anyone confirm and post pictures?.
No Dry Install on Zagg Site
I just looked too, and didn't see the dry install option on the site.
That's dumb it they only offer it at the AT&T stores. Like I will pay $30 plus tax instead of using a 50% discount code and no tax like I would online

There is clearly an orange-peel type of finish on the first pictures shown (dry-install).
