I put an InvisibleShield on my iPhone front only. I found the surface was not nearly as friction-free as the original or as it is with some other protectors. It interfered with the experience for me. After about a week I removed it and sent it back for a refund, which they promptly and cheerfully provided. Kudos to them on that.
Got a tip for us?

ZAGG shipping iPhone 3G invisibleSHIELD...

I ordered one for my touch, but when it arrived despite being labeled as a touch it was clearly for a normal ipod, had the click wheel part and everything. I didn't bother doing anything about it though as changed my mind after reading loads of people saying it ruined the device.
I plan to just keep my iPhone in a felt lined pouch in my pocket, which is what I do with my iPod touch. Quick and easy to get out and in, and no totally naked when in use. I do worry a little more with the iPhone, as it'll be used so much more, but the thought of covering the screen with film seems crazy to me.

just got a generic email from zagg saying...
"wholesale purchases shipping week of 27th june, web orders shipping week of 7th july"!!
so there we go i guess, confirmed shipping details!

I got that too.
So it looks as if it might be touch and go whether we minions get our Invisible Shields in time for the 11th of July.
I just hope it arrives before the 11th, otherwise I will keep the clear film on the phone until the IS arrives in the post.
also the design if the IS looks different in the pic on the email, to the one on the zagg webstore, so it seems that they revised the design from then....
Thanks for the replies, I appreciate your input.
I think I'm just going to go with a "slide in" case. Something I can just keep in my pocket in order to keep it safe, yet allows me to easily remove the (naked?) iPhone in order to use it.
Sort of like the generic cloth case that came with the 5G iPods...
Any ideas?

thinking myself about the incase slider too,or the rubber incase one. i work at gigs and festivals, and as anyone who's either been to one or worked at one,for some reason, if it can break it will! phones,iPods,car keys,amps,bags anything! so i want the extra "hard" protection for my phone too.
on a side note, just ordered AGAIN from zagg, the full body shield for my macbook,got free shipping cause the coupon code i used cancelled out shipping! so heres one for the next person to use!

enjoy!
The generic promo email does say "order now and protect your iPhone from day one" so I assume they hope shipping from the 7th will enable delivery by the 11th..
I ordered mind on June 12th.
....fingers crossed mine gets to the UK by the 11th as I can't hold off buying the new iPhone...it's already killing me to wait till the 11th!

as did i, before 12pm mountain time. i also chose the speedier shipping option.
the email i received tonight does indeed have a different image -- and it seems to have full front coverage, including the bottom of the home button.
i have to ask though... what are wholesale orders? how do they differ from web orders?
The invisibleSHIELD is a must for all iPhone users. Don't hide the sexiness of your iPhone with a silicone case people! Right now I'm using my 1st gen iPhone with the IS, coupled with a magnetic belt holster. Works like a charm.

That is the reason I don't want one. Makes the screen look awful! Looks pretty bad round edges too. I'm still slightly tempted, but considering I've had my iPod touch in my jeans since launch and its not got a scratch on its front at all and only very minor back scratches, I don't really see much need. (I keep it in a felt lined custom made pouch inside the pocket)
i agree, the front protector is no good.
but thats what the powersupport crystal screen protector is for
Hey, i had a conversation with one of the the reps at ZAGG and the told me they should have all orders that were received by the 27th to the owners before launch date. Also if you did priority shipping your order was processed and shipped faster than others who didn't. If that doesnt sound familiar to you, that is because it wasn't an option during checkout. i had to go though an agent to get it. So if anyone else did that then expect your order sooner than most.
I just ordered my 3G pack from Zagg a few min ago. It only came out to twenty bucks after a discount and free shipping. Not to bad. I hope it come roughly in the same time frame of the 11th. I wasn't sure if I want to the backing but it was only 5 bucks more so I thought I would give it a shot.
I have an extra code cause i gave one to my dad but if anyone wants it it is, wc3y4e

Best thing to do is to buy a Power Support Crystal Film for the screen and just use the I.S. for the rest.
It's the perfect combination.

IMO, it dosen't look THAT bad. Yea, the screen is a little bit more grainy, but I'll sacrifice that in order to keep my future 16gb white iphone in pristine condition. The little white specks and streaks are there because the owner didn't apply the skins that well.
Ordered mine the same day as u and I'm from the I'm also from the uk. When I contacted them they said they were shipping from the 27th but in order of people who preordered from 6th June. I also did priority shipping so let's see who gets it first!
agreed. My favorite feature is the extra texture and grip it gives the phone. To each his own, you can't please everyone though.
Not a very good product at all
I did not like this product at all. Greatly reduced touchscreen performance and extremely difficult for most people to install. Not to mention the risk of getting the spray mounting fluid in your iPhone's speaker, home button, audio jack and other openings. Other screen protectors are much more clear and invisible like the Power Support Crystal Film Set. An invisible, tough, smooth screen cover that does not degrade screen function at all. Try this product at your own iPhone's risk!
