Was wondering if there is anyone out there that has used both brands of the invisible protection for the iPhone. I'm looking to pre-order one for the iPhone 3G and from the looks of it they are the same thing, but bodyguardz is cheaper (2 for the price of one). any input on which I should order? both have a lifetime guarantee I believe.
Got a tip for us?

Zagg IS v Bodyguardz?

IS was my choice at the MWSF '08, since they were installing them on my iPhone and iPod for free. 
beware with these products
because they use liquid application solution, they have been known to cause "dead strips" which are areas on the screen of the phone that won't respond to touch
the only safe body cover is the ones in the green package sold at apple stores
ever wonder why they dont sell IS there?
I had a dead strip the other day but I got my phone replaced for free at an Apple store

The green one is called power support. It's good got one on my screen, nice and smooth unlike the IS. Takes damage quite well. I try to key it and nothing happens, although when I try the same thing on the IS on my ipod touch it gauges some slices into the skin, not through it but gives it a gauge.
I have had a clear film (BSE) on the two iPhones I have owned. Both have never suffered from a dead strip.
Try the fullbodyfilms protection pack they sell the IS back and 2 front PS protectors for $16. Just waiting for the 3G shapes to be released.
i prefer the powersupport anti glare film
it doesn't pick up fingerprints hardly at all and gives the screen a better texture than it normally has
and i dont know if they have proved that the IS damages the screen, but ive had a dead strip and trust me, its scary, although easily fixed by apple (i got mine replaced the day it stopped working!!) so i wouldn't risk it. especially when power support makes a superior product
my suggestion: power support on the screen with one of those other IS or similar on the back. there is even a product that sells these together but I can't recall what it is

Ok, so I'm very slowly starting to be tempted by such a thing. I still expect I'll end up ripping it off annoyed it cheapens the feel and look mind, but does anyone know where to get dccorona's suggestion as a complete package? if its cheap enough and can be removed easily if I change my mind, then I might give it a go... maybe...
