Got my full body clear shield in today from Phantom Shield. Here was my email back to them:
What ends up happening is, the shield starts falling onto/sticking to itself when you're lining it up because its heavy with water solution. Then, the size (again) makes it hard as ever-lovin' hell to get it centered straight after it is on. And you cant move it around as freely while its on the device (again, cause the size is so big) like you can with the ones for smaller phone-like devices. It just doesnt want to move freely, even if its drenched with water solution. So you end up ripping it off & trying again..and again...and again...till finally you realize its just not working & you've probably put as much water on your iPad as you'd like. And also the shield ends up being less sticky after soaking it again & again & again.
Seriously guys, just stay away. Its not worth the trouble or price. Plus, the iPad is pretty scratch-resistant anyway.
Let me also tell you guys something else. Like I said, Im not a novice at installing these shields at all, but the other problem for the ones for the iPad is that because of the sheer size of the front & back, the shield pieces are massive as well. So that means its almost IMPOSSIBLE to install it correctly since the individual pieces are so big.Just received my order for the full body shield for the iPad. I just wanted to let you guys know that I've installed probably a dozen of these types of shields (including a couple of your brand as well) & this one has a major issue that you should remedy.
The problem is, that rubbery squeegee device you include. It makes TERRIBLE scratches to the shield once its applied. And I'm not talking a scratch here, a scratch there. No, these are big swirling scratches that are very noticeable (and yes, the squeegee was completely clean, and yes, I wet everything regularly). After I applied the front portion then pushed the bubbles out, I noticed the scratches, but it was already too late. The damage to the shield was done. It looked awful so I ended up taking it off.
I would like a refund, but I know your policy is to return the shield first, which is understandable, but that would cost me shipping (even more since its a bigger shield). So since that means I'd be out even more on this product & only get back probably half of what I originally paid after paying to ship it back (which isnt even worth it by then), Im just chucking the thing & it'll be my loss I guess.
Anyways, just wanted you guys to be aware of what this thing does to your shields. I'd seriously stop shipping them with it. Thanks.
