That's also the 1st gen with the FIRST InvisibleShield. From what I understand, they have redone their formula to have less orange-peel effect since then.

Here is a photo (not mine) that shows the orange peel effect pretty well. Basically it makes the front glass look not so smooth...and basically "dimply" like the outside of an orange.
I actually went through 2 invisible shields on my iPhone 3G. The first IS had the orange peel effect. However, after putting the 2nd IS on there a few months later, there was no orange peel at all. Everyone I showed my phone to asked me why I didn't have a case or cover on my phone, and I told them about the invisible shield, and they said they couldn't even notice it.
