This screen protector is made from a slightly rubbery material that is neither totally invisible nor totally smooth to the touch. It is extremely durable, though and doesn’t seem to get smudged. I’ll probably keep mine on for a while since I went to all the expense and effort but I think I prefer the more rigid matte finish covers.
I think the problem that most people have installing this cover is not getting it wet enough using the included spray bottle. I started off being very cautious and lightly misting the cover. But, when it’s only slightly wet the cover is extremely sticky – which makes it almost impossible to work with. It installs way easier if it’s literally dripping wet. Then you can slide it around on the phone to get it situated before using the squeegee. You also don’t need to go nuts with the squeegee – just a light touch will remove the water without stretching the screen cover.
Unlike other covers, you can also peel it off and re-do it just about as many times as you need to. Some other covers are easier to install on the first try, but if you mess it up they are ruined. This one is difficult to install, but you can keep re-doing it without permanent damage. I was able to get it perfect without any bubbles, but I had to un-peel it about 3 or 4 times.

I’ve had this cover for both the iPhone 3G, and now for the iPhone 4. For reference, I’ve also owned other variations of similar products including BodyGuardz brand, and also very cheap knock offs. I prefer Zagg for several reasons.
First, the installation is very simple. It seems other reviewers have had problems, but if you follow the directions it is fool proof. There is no adhesive on the product, you wet the cover with the included solution, and then apply it to your phone. No worries if you don’t get it right the first time, you can simply lift it off the phone and try again. The key is to make sure you get it wet enough. After that, you push out all the air bubbles with the included tool, and let your phone set overnight. If there are still some little air bubbles left, they go away after about 24 hours.
Second, the protection that this skin offers is fantastic. I don’t like bulky cases that take away from the sleekness of the iPhone. I keep my phone in my pocket with my keys, wallet, and anything else without worrying about it scratching. I don’t know what the material is made of, but it’s super strong and won’t scratch. There’s a lifetime warranty on this product too, so if you’re actually able to make a scratch in this thing (which I doubt), they’ll replace it.
Overall, I am extremely happy with this product, and will definately buy it again for my next phone. It doesn’t ever peel or come off of the phone, it’s never scratched despite the abuse I put it through, and was very easy to install. Great value, considering it’s protecting a very expensive phone.

I purchased this based on the reputation of their products. The package actually said iPhone 4G, which kind of turned me off, but I guess that’s because they likely made it before the official unveiling of the name iPhone 4. Installation was not that bad – no worse than any other screen protectors I’ve purchased for past iPhones. Took a little bit to get all of the bubbles out and looking perfect, but it wasn’t difficult. I had the front protector on for less than a day before I decided I couldn’t deal with it’s sticky feeling. My fingers would sort of skip across the screen due to its rubberiness. I prefer the working surface of the touch screen to be smooth.
It also is not invisible. It creates a bit of an uneven sheen when looked at from an angle. The iPhone 4 is a beautiful device and I felt that this product definitely decreased the beauty of it. Would it protect the product? Yes. It definitely feels like you could take sharp objects to it. I just don’t like the look or feel of it on the front. I’m leaving the back protector on, however. The stickiness helps it from moving around. I’m also confident when setting it down on its back.
I will be looking for a different protector for the front, as I have used other products on my previous iPhones that I’ve been happy with.

I have two iPhone 4s and purchased the ZAGG invisibleSHIELD (Full Body) because it was one of the first products available. I ran into several problems and finally discarded it from both phones (and an iPad), choosing instead to purchase the new Power Support options. Here are my biggest problems with the invisibleSHIELD:
1. Too much work to apply the shield – It takes anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes to apply the shield, and they recommend waiting another 24 to 48 hours before turning on your device. It’s not practical to leave your cell phone off for that long a period of time.
2. It doesn’t adhere very well. Despite the involved process to get the shield on, it just doesn’t adhere to the screen very well. I fell asleep on my phone for a couple hours and when I woke up, the front shield slid about half a centimeter and I couldn’t put it back. The edges also tend to peel when I put my iPhone 4 bumper on and when I take it off. I need to remove and apply the bumper constantly because I use an iPhone 4 docking station, which doesn’t work with the bumper (but that’s another story).
3. It’s kind of sticky and doesn’t react well to my fingers. The rubber isn’t as smooth as the film from Power Support (based on my experience with both the clear and antiglare on my 3Gs). My finger would get stuck a few times on the rubber. It’s also just much more noticeable and makes the screen look kind of fuzzy from an angle, but when the phone is on, you don’t notice it and the fuzziness doesn’t seem to distort the image.

well, lets say I am pissed. I did not buy this from Amazon, it costed me around $25 from ZAGG to buy FULL BODY protection. Initially I was excited that it’s gonna be cool looking but within couple of days it started absorbing lint from my jeans. I usually keep it in my front pocket. So I called them for a replacement, first time they sent me for FREE. Later, after installing the second time it was good for couple of days but it started catching again. I had $20 bill in my pocket and that also got stuck on the back shield. Somehow I was able to take my bill out else I could loose that money too. And this did not happen coz I did not put the shield on place correctly, everything was good and nice. It was looking perfect on back and front. But now this happened twice and if I need a replacement I need to pay $3.95 for shipping. It’s barely a month and I have replaced TWICE. My recommendations NO GO. Dont spend money on that, probably you are better off buying those $1 at ebay which atleast protects your front screen.
