Invisible Shield

Here is a highly detailed video from Podango/Apple Phone Show,
showing the process of applying the skin, and the results you get.

How to Apply an Invisible Shield
http://www.podango.com/podcast_episode/284/47134/

Honestly, this all seems like tin-foil hat type stuff to me (with the exception of applying the skin to the face of the phone). I have a rubber casing (which helps protect it against drops), so aside from the face, I don't really see myself going through all this. I just can't work it out. I have one of those grandmothers that put rubber casings all over her furniture, and we could never sit on it. The degree to which that has irked me has never quite worn off.

The skins protect the ipod from getting scratched up, give it better friction so it doesn't fall out of your hand, and (drum roll please) adds virtually zero bulk to the size of the unit.

There's no question that cases protect the best, although cases have been known to scratch the back of the ipod to hell, and they are bulky, and they cost more....

I also ordered mine a week ago but I know not to expect it for a long while. Apparently when you checked the status page you didn't pay attention. There's a statement right at the bottom:



So, they're saying November 4th for me. I knew that right away. That's the same message that's been displaying since immediately after I ordered.

I did pay attention. That's just invisible shield covering their backs incase it takes awhile to get to you. Somewhat like when Apple said that the preorders would ship by September 28th, but they shipped much sooner than that.
 
Does the BSE take forever to ship like the IS? I'm in Canada and a friend of mine ordered a IS and it's been 3 weeks and he still hasn't got it...

Btw, is the BSE or IS sold in any stores?
 
Can't say anything for out-of-state but it takes about 2-3 days for me (located in Florida, BSE is located in Colorado).

My BSE skin showed up in 4 days. It ships in a plain white envelope and they warn you right on the website that it could easily be mistaken for junk mail or thrown away by a spouse/girlfriend who sees "bestskinsever" on the envelope.

uhoh.... i ordered BSE last week, still not here

*run to wake up girlfriend*
 
Great, thanks everyone! I'll get a BSE then, 2 of them I guess....

CD3660, he ordered an IS, so I was asking if the BSE is just as slow :)
 
Does this detract from the glory of the Touch itself? Does if feel "tacked" on to say? Like, idk, does it look/feel weird having it on?
 
Btw, I watched some IS promotional video and they were showing that the skin itself doesn't get scratched. Is this true? Is it also true for the BSE? Thanks.
