Custom made Shieldzone body protection for P3600 = $45 - Worth it?

I read about www.Shieldzone.com and their full body protection.
Of course, they dont offer anything for the P3600 out of the box but they are able to custom design a full body protection for $45 within 1-3 business days.
Does anyone know if it is worth paying $45 for this kind of protection? I really dont like silicone cases, since they are too big and collect dust. I have tried numerous leather cases but in the end I simply dont use them since the device inclusive case doesnt fit into my pockets.
Any comments on their products?

If I remember correctly, it isi quite difficult to apply it on. Have you applied a screen protector before? I think a full body shield is.. very much difficult than a screen protector. Anyway, you might want to look at this http://www.skinit.com/, $10 only

They would apply the protector on the device, which is included in the $45.
I totally agree, applying a screen protector is difficult enough and a very tedious and I wouldnt want to deal with a full body protector.
The thought of not having to deal with any paint problems and perhaps being able to sell the device scratch free in a years time is quite appealing.
Thanks for the link, I will check them out too!

i've bastardized the 8525 shieldzone skin to use on my 3600. in my opinion, it greatly minimized the "fingerprints" and provides adequate protection for me. i don't really like the rubberized skins. they are not very difficult to apply and can be peeled off when necessary. i wish shieldzone would make a skin for the 3600...

Can you plz post pics of the final results on your P3600?? I'm also interested in this skin. I think it's a great idea..
Thanks

I've used them for other devices, they are 100% worth it. They are a bit of a pain to get one but they do work as advertised. They are clear so they show off the device and protect the unit from scratches without adding the bulk of other type of skins since they are very very thin.

Do you know how long the turn around time is since they install it. If all is true then $45 bucks is cheap for the protection that it offers. I am very interested.

They told me that an approx. turn around time would be 1-3 business days. You have to add shipping times for both ways to it, which depends on location and shipping service you choose. So, I guess a far assumption would be to have the unit back within 10-12 business days if you ship via UPS ground.
Also, the $45 price quote does not include shipping charges. So, it is quite expensive to simply protect the device against scratches.
Perhaps anyone can post some pictures of the protection applied?

So what if I need to change my sim or take my battery off?

Good point

I would think that they are installing the shield on each part individually, hence you have up to 7 different pieces to apply to the unit. Subsequently there shouldnt be a problem to reach the SIM or battery, etc.

Maybe there's someone who lives in the area can take their unit in or get a dealer to drop one off for a fitting. Once they make a custom one, they sell to others. With that said, I think it's pretty bad business on their part, you'd think they'd be willing to do the first one for any device free knowing they will be able to sell others based off their template.

Good idea!

Hi guys,
Sorry for dredging up an old thread but I just wanted to add my piece as someone who has had one of these shields before (on an HTC Prophet).
They are very very good, and you really can scratch away at the device with keys / brick wall etc and it doesn't scratch (obviously not something you would want to do on purpose)! The application is tricky but very doable, and should your protector ever become creased or damaged you can have it replaced for free, for life.
The turnaround time is quick, no more than 5 business days, but I'm in the UK so when I sent mine off for a custom shield I got hammered on the return for customs duty etc - a nasty shock. That's the only reason I wouldn't get a custom shield made up for my P3600. Let me know if you do though as I will be hot on your heels ordering one!
On my Prophet, you could see the edges of the protector in places, as they have to make the shield up in sections so it can be curved around the top of your phone etc - can't see any way they could apply it in a single sheet. This was not a big issue on the Prophet, and looks a million times better than covering up your device with a silicon case or whatever.
I'm guessing that the edges of the protector will be less visible on the P3600 as it is already shiny, where the Prophet was matte. The shield will not cover the buttons and camera on your phone. In 18months my Prophet did not pick up one scratch, despite being dropped on concrete and in a pocket with keys, which is a good selling point in my mind!
As for the cost, $45 is more than a case / screen protector, but these things protect the device for it's entire life, and even if you don't like parts of the protector, you can always take those parts off (with the risk of them not being protected) and leave on the parts that you do like. Some protection is definitely better than none anyway! You'll probably find that you leave the whole thing on though!
As I said, drop me a line if you get a custom one made up as that will mean that poor UK based P3600 owners like myself should be able to follow up and order one without sending our devices in!
Good luck!
Mark.

Yes please, if anyone takes the plunge please advice!!

Looks like that they finally sell a body shield for the P3600:
http://www.shieldzone.com/item_description/HTCP3600.html
Now, the question is whether this is only a screen protector or a full body protector? Its not very clear according to the description.

That's just a screen protector. It says at the top of the picture.
I've gotten these put on for a Wizard and Hermes and would not go without them. I, like most, don't like bulky covers on an already large phone.
As mentioned, they come in several different parts and don't block access to anything that needs opening or the like.
I'm also just a stones throw away from their corporate office. I've had them apply the skins for me (just $10 extra) and they've told me that they'll make a custom skin for any device that's brought to them for an extra charge of only $10 or $15 more. But, once they create the template, they hang onto it so they won't charge the next guy for the custom job.
All in all, I think they're probably the best choice to protect your device.
Just a little first-hand input for ya.

come on - someone in the US can order one if it means that I can order one to be delivered to Europe. I'll pay $10 of the $15 say extra dollars once I can have one shipped
(The full body protector).

Verizon Invisible Shield

I just got a full body InvisibleSHIELD installed on my verizon device at a local Zagg mall kiosk, the installer had to cut the bottom to accommodate the 3.5 jack and the side for the volume rocker. The Installer said that Zagg doesn't actually make a Verizon specific body shield. Anyway, here are some pictures of it.
http://s188.photobucket.com/albums/...ction=tags&current=InvisibleSHIELD on VZW TP2
I contacted Zagg about this and a rep told me that because the installer cut the shield that the warranty is now vioded....
This is what she said
Code:
Hello *****,
Thank you for contacting ZAGG, where we are Zealous About Great Gadgets! My name is Betty and I appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
I sincerely apologize you have been misinformed. We do offer an invisibleSHIELD specifically for the HTC Touch Pro 2 (Verizon). You can find this item on the following links:
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-touch-pro-2-verizon-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/search/search.php?x=0&y=0&keyword=htc+touch+pro
In regards to your email, retail locations are authorized sellers of ZAGG. They also have their own separate policy and procedures.
I understand the sales representative at the mall kiosk altered your invisibleSHIELD. If the invisibleSHIELD is cut by anyone other than our professional shield designers, your Lifetime warranty will be voided. We do not recommend cutting or altering the invisibleSHIELD.
I hope this helps! Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or comments.
All the best,
B****
I replied
Code:
Hi B****,
Thanks for the speedy response, however let me see if I understand this; because the authorized seller cut my shield in order to make a fit onto my phone, my warranty is voided and now I need to pay for a new shield if I want the correct one installed onto my phone?
Concerned Customer
I am currently awaiting a response from them. I tried calling the kiosk back but no one is answering, they're probably at lunch, however I'm not sure what to tell them aside from "You LIED AND YOU F###ed up my shield, do it again!" If anyone else has had a VZW Zagg shield installed, let me know what the results where please.

Did the installer inform you that they would have to modify the shields before they hacked on them? How did you pay? If by CC then you may have the option of disputing with your CC company.

Bad Zagg experience
I ordered a full body Verizon version via the Zagg website. I was careful to select the Verizon version. Because I have no patience I ordered express delivery.
When the product arrived it was a generic version. Holes in the wrong place ect.. When I called they implied I ordered wrong and suggested next time I order to select the Verizon version. I asked the rep. to order for me so it was correct, and again like a fool I paid for the express delivery. 2 days later it didn't show and when I checked the status it was on backorder. When I tried to cancel the express delivery for obvious reasons they would not do it.
I asked how they accepted my order when they were on backorder. Anyway I was not happy.
I ended up using the generic screen, other than a small camera hole on the top right it fit. After a couple days I was not happy with it's apperance, and how the sides felt. I looked for another option. I found Ghost Armor after searching this site.
I first ordered the full body then minutes later decided to order just the screen not knowing if there would be a difference. Not only did they check wih me to make sure I didn't double order, but they packed both orders together and refunded me the shipping on one order.
Bottom line, no question between the two the Ghost Armor is the best screen cover. You don't even know it's there. However the side and back covers are not great. If protecting your whole phone is vital then Zagg is for you. The Zagg screen wraps around the edges and offers more coverage.
My Verizon Zagg showed up and I left it in the box for now. I don't think I'm covering the back or sides. If I do I will use the Zagg back cover. How funny will that be?!

jsquared, sounds like you have too much money to spend on screen protectors... But is it true that the Zagg covers the sides on the screen portion?

Do you mind taking a look at what the front of the cover looks like?

Yes, the Zagg covers the entire screen and wraps around the top corners, bottom corners, around the bottom buttons, and both sides. However, it does not cover the entire sides. It prob. covers half the sides. It stops at the side crease. The Zagg does cover more than the Ghost Armor sides. My problem with Zagg is that the film is a little cloudy and sticky. It's obvious that there is a screen cover on.
My only concern is the screen and the Ghost Armor is perfect because I can't even tell it's there.
HOWEVER, my best advice is for you to buy both.... that way you can't go wrong

I wish I had seen this first
I just had mine installed at the Valley Faire Mall in San Jose while I traveled through. I was a little leary as he was putting it on because it looked like he had to trim the bottom also and the hole is in the wrong place up top. The center pieces where not cut correctly either and there are gaps where the screen meets the body and the screen. He insists these will go away after 24 hours or so. I think it looks like a total piece of crap. Carefully placed saran wrap would have looked more professional. I'm not even going to bother calling them. I will be in Salt Lake on Friday and I will show them what their "Authorized Resellers" are selling as the correct product and let them explain in person. I have Ghost Armor on my Storm that was put on in their kiosk in Chicago and it looks and feels 100% better. Can't even tell its there. This looks like I left the original plastic on the phone. Maybe if I show them my Ghost Armored Storm it will inspire them to make a better quality product. Ya Right. Highly unrecommended.
I attached some pics of the front. That bottom left corner is never going to lay properly no matter how much time. As you can see it was a real professional job.

LMFAO!!!!! that's exactly where I had mine done at! I emailed Zagg and they said that they're going to send me the correct version, I just gotta register my product at their website.

Well it's good to see some positive comments on the ghost armor. I ordered the screen protector only, but have never used it before so I am anxious to see how it looks. I have used the invisishield and phantom skinz, and really haven't like either one. And it's sad to say that I did a better install of the protector myself than the one in the picture posted. Hopefully the ghost armor will not be as sticky and noticeable as the other two. I have yet to see any real negative comments on it yet. The installer of that shield should have his @ss whooped for screwing up your phone....LOL

Honestly, as much as I love a slick slippery phone, I prefer something that has a bit of grip on it so it wont fall outa my hand and it wont slip off my desk. He DID **** up my cover, not my phone, and Zagg will provide a replacement (minus shipping >_< ).

Well, they are sending me a new one, though they tried to make it seem as if I should go away and they where doing me a favor. They screw the pooch, and I have to put $25 bucks on hold so they will send me a proper one. At least they eating the shipping to me. Its going back to them in a white envelope. Screwiest lifetime warranty in the business, designed to keep people from wanting to take advantage of it. Never again.

Yeah, they told me the same, I think I'm going to call the kiosk again and talk to the manager about this, see if I can get him to order in the tp2 skin so that they obsorb the $4 hit (sorry but now-a-days 4 bucks is a lot for shipping for something they they ****ed up on). Obviously if 2 random people on this board happen on the same thread about the same kiosk, then this is probably a problem for them, this doesn't reflect well on Zagg, even if they don't officially own the kiosks.

i installed mine myself and it all went well everything fit but i'm wondering is there supposed to be a piece for around the screen? Mine came with two pieces, the back cover and one for the screen itself but the glossy part around the screen is uncovered. if someone could let me know that would be great thanks

No, there is no piece for the glossy black part around the screen. My installer told me it was because it may peel off while removing the shield. He said it previously happened with different models of the Blackberry.

After having a Zagg on my TP1 and liking it until it started losing adhesive and peeling off, I originally ordered the Zagg IS generic GSM TP2 model (the one that overlaps the screen and needs to be cut for the 3.5MM jack) and altered it myself to fit as I hadn't heard about the Ghost Armor yet and Zagg didn't have a Verizon version at the time. That said, when I finally got the Ghost Armor, I found it a far superior product to Zagg. No orange peel, better appearance, and better feel, and easier to apply. You really can't tell it's there. I won't be using anything else from now on.

Just talked with the people at the kiosk I had the shield installed; despite what Zagg told me via email they said that they don't make a Verizon specific shield, and that they ALWAYS must alter the shield for the TP2 for Verizon and even some other phones and that Zagg was lying about making Verizon specific shields. I'm going to have to call Zagg about this tomorrow (it's pass their business hours, and email conversation seems to take them 1 day to reply, no matter what) and see who's bullshitting here... Ghost Armor is starting to look like a better option...

tell the idiots at the kiosk to check out zagg's site: http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php

LAME....that part sticks out more too. I wish I had a protector on it ):

Got the replacement today. Though it fits better now, it leaves the most vulnerable parts of the device exposed. They really need to make some kind of surround to protect the frame around the screen as its basically useless without something like that. Kind of a lame excuse that it may peel the device on removal since the surround on a Blackberry is painted and the TP2 is solid plastic. Nothing to peel. It does look much better now though.

Damn, we must be in sync or something, got my replacement today as well, I took it to a different kiosk (closer to my home) and I explained the story to the guy and he installed my new shield for free , I also sent the incorrect shields back to Zagg for a refund (or atleast for them to de-authorize the cash they have on hold on my account). I will be complaining to the Valley Fair kiosk owner and try to get a refund for the installation at the very least for this whole fiasco.

InvisibleSHIELD for your TG01 soon

So you can all expect to see the product available for the Toshiba TG01 soon

Any news??

Yeh, my device should be back with me 6th or 7th, availability must be immenent too
When i get my device back, i will post a review

this covers are on website ZAGG for 24.99$ + shipping i got some vouchers to give you 20% off from original price : GIZMO / PROTECT20 / TECHBARG / ZAGG20/ and you can still use quidco as well to give you another 20% off finally my maximum cover for TG01 with 1 class recorded shipping to uk cost me 14 pounds

OK, here is my short review of the InvisibleSHIELD for the Toshiba TG01
As you all know, this product has been released for many products before this one, and reviews for the product are all over the web, so there isn't a great deal to add
My phone arrived back today, service from ZAGG has been top notch, since i was the first to reply to the request for someone to send in a device, and due to the expense of sending it to the states, they included a $25 gift voucher for my trouble, as well as fitting a InvisibleSHIELD too my device.
Fit is almost Invisible literally, except for the rounded corners, you can feel the join of the shield in these areas. The only way you know the skin is on the device is by the glossy shine of the battery cover, and the odd feeling you get on the touchscreen when using your finger.
I am not about to take a key to my device to test their claims, however the shield does give me a bit of confidense my screen will remain scratch free for the foreseeable future. As for the body protection, i am sure that will work fine, what little body the TG01 has anyway, being so slim!
I will include a picture or 2, as best i can take with my camera, but you will not see much, just a glossy sheen to the battery cover, and the only way you know this device has the Shield in place is by feel.
All in all, seems like a good product, especially for protecting the body of your device, i think a screen protector would give much nicer feel to the screen, however i don't think anyone can argue about the level of protection this product gives your device against scratches.
Images attached, one is a blurry pic of a corner join, and the 2nd is of the battery cover

Thanks for your short review

Wasnt thtere a sale on zagg website 31st

Just got my universal invisible shield today at carphone warehouse for £8.99. got it installed at the shop, it covers most of the device. they did a bad job though! i ciuld have done better than them... came with 2 though, so i used the 2nd protector for my Orange San Fransisco. so far im really impressed with it, my other screen protectors got scrathced far too easily and needed to be replaced.

having owned it for quite a while, can you please post an update on how the shield is holding out now? Is it still strong durable, no peelings on it? I've had mine on for 4 months now (custom cut universal shield) it is scrathed, and i find it very difficult to use with my finger on the screen as it is quite a rough surface.

Condition of the shield is good, no scratches, but it has peeled from the edges of the screen, i should probably contact them to see what they say about a fix, but if you had the application fluid you could just flatten it back down before it got all messed up.
I should add, i use a sillicone case, which rubs against the edges of the screen, so when i hold my phone, the case rubs in that area, which is what is causing the invisibleshield to peel, its only in those areas, its not really noticeable when its in its sillicone case.

Free StealthGuards! (Invisible shields)

Just saw this offer and wanted to share it, free protectors at**LInk removed - advertising a commercial site*** I don't know if they are any good, but they only charge transport costs for now

Thanks for the info!!

Nice one! just placed the order and will receive it in a few days
thanks for the heads up!

Well they are free. (Sort-of)

There is another thread running about these.
Long story short, not very good and have now removed the shield after less than a week.

the shield works well for me and the cutting is pretty accurate.
just gotta spray lots of water during application and everything will come out quite nicely. Im intending to get another spare one as Ive heard that such shield will become yellowish after some time.
overall, im impressed with wat ive received given the amount of money ive spent

I've ordered one of these sunday just past hope it comes soon

Mine arrived. I got 2 sets as figured I'd mess some up first time.
First impressions:
Never used invisible shield type products before. The pieces are very accurately shaped, but not completely cut, which made separating them from the surround quite hard. I found best method was to separate each individual section by roughly cutting around it leaving excess on all 4 sides, then apply to phone, and use the excess to move it around to avoid fingerprints on the sections.
A strong pull stripped off the excess of the vinyl, and also made them fit very snuggly. This works particularly well on the curved back - which I suggest you fit first.
I put them on dry and found they went on fine. Some tiny bubbles which went away after a day.
The screen protector I found impossible to get on without larger bubbles - I tried wet and dry. The texture's not very nice either so suggest you use some of the excellent ebay cheapo screen protectors. Buy lots if you're fussy about bubbles like I am.
All the cut pieces are a very neat fit. Once on, your phone becomes very shiny, and very grippy. The raised edges of the pieces, particularly on the sides, can be felt. It doesn't look as nice as a bare phone, but it's functional.

Mine arrived last week.
I had a lot of problems installing them. I was left with a very wet table, a lot of used paper towels and a few dusty stealth guards. Maybe I can find enough courage to try it again later. But at the moment I'm too frustrated with them
I also was quite surprised by the size of the bubbles. As you said, the cheap eBay protectors don't have that kind of bubbles. I must admit I didn't wait the recommended 24h

i can confirm...got one for Desire and one to Hd2...to dificult to apply, and they look too bad, seems you are grabbing a piece of plastic.
in my desire just kept the display protection, in my Hd2 im waiting for a friend to see an then remove that crap... i bought one from another brand for my Iphone, and it was easy to apply, it came with a thing to apply the protection and it was great.
Belive me , sometimes in my job i have to decorate cars and i got some experience in applying that...

Rubbish. Screen protector didn't go on easily at all and as I removed any bubbles on it, it just damaged the protector, leaving a mark! Hated the feeling when touching it as it has far too much resistance compared to the bare screen.
The actual body covers for it are utter tat! Makes the phone look like a cheap children's toy and fits badly!
£2.80 wasted on this, but at least it means I won't waste money on full price protectors!

Glad i bought a brando ultra clear

dont get it. it's rubbish. Thick as hell. it's like putting a condom over your phone. looks and feel funny after you manage to get it on. Getting it on is a project by itself. also its super shinny and looks very plastic. save yourself the shipping cost.

Hmm, I <3 my Zagg InvisibleSHIELD, this would be a nice back up just incase my zagg lifetime warranty fails to renew. Have the people bashing this promo tried the official Zagg invisibleSHIELD? I wonder if it's the quality of the Stealth Guard, or the idea of having a plastic coating all around that's turning you off.
If the quality of the Stealth Guard is as good as the Zagg InvisibleSHIELD then I wouldn't mind paying the $3.00 shipping. But I'm getting the idea that the Stealth Guards are cheaper, and of poor quality when compared to the Zagg InvisibleSHIELD.

The bestskinsever ones look tempting. Apparently they're quiet decent and they only cost a bit more than StealthGuards.

So where is the solution that they show in the video? Is the solution just water? I checked out the FAQS on the Site but didn't find anything. My package just came in an envelope with the protectors and my invoice. Just curious if anyone knows how to apply them without the "solution" they say to use on their "Installation Instructions".
Thanks

Got mine in the mail yesterday. I need help applying it because I'm a spaz. Heh.

[Q] I need to order a new screen protector for my HTC Desire

Mod edit: This post looks like spam, but I won't remove the thread as it has useful discussion in it.

It could die. But seriously... screen protectors? Why bother wasting your money? To be honest, you might need it if you have say keys in your pocket, but who's stupid enough? I don't know but screen protectors are a waste of time and money.

To be fair, I use screen protectors. Just to be on the safe side, and they are non-obtrusive. And a waste of money? I have to disagree with that. I got 6 screen protectors off eBay for 99p UK seller- UV protection, anti-grease, anti-dust, anti-scratch. They last for about 3 months.
I think if you want to be safe, get a screen protector. They might protect your screen from damage one day, and for pennies its a worthy investment.

I disagree with Screen Protectors being a waste of money. My phone was in mint condition until I bent over and my phone slipped out my pocket.
It landed face down, on stones. I now have a scratch going right across my screen.
You get really cheap ones. But don't waste your time with those. You won't be able to see very well through them.
Go with Martin Fields protectors. Way more expensive, but worth it. I have one now.

I've used a Martin Fields one since day they were released and, combined with my HTC pull cord case, I've not got a mark on my handset. Small outlay for piece of mind IMO

I got some of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/FoneM8-Desi...UKGK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1305831209&sr=8-1
Crystal clear, cheap as chips and doesn't interfere with the phone in any way.

exactly the same as me since i bought my desire. perfect combination and my desire still looks like new.

I'm using Martin Fields atm. I like the fact that it comes with camera protector as well. On the other hand I find it more "scratchable" than Brando Crystal Clear I've been using before. After a year it's so scratched I gotta change it. I'll try either 3M Vikuti or Writeshield Crystal now - these are are said to be among the best.
I do recommend to buy a good screen protector and apply it properly - this is a really good guide:

You'll never notice it's there, it'll serve you a long time, you won't have to bother with several ****ty cheapos that require frequent changes and worsen the overall user experience (worse screen clarity, bubbles, don't fit to screen properly, don't stick on the edges, unpleasant in touch etc.).
This is my take on screen protectors.

I've been using a Zagg protector for the last 6 months. Excellent protection but find the screen isnt 100% responsive or smooth.
Tempted to try another but worried that it wont go on and fit as well as the zagg...

Has anyone experience with the original HTC-Ones (HTC SP P360)?

Spambot?

I have purchased an HTC Desire from Electronics a week ago. Their services were great and shipment response time was awesome. I am a frequent user of any cell phone. This is the reason why I need a new screen protector. I have also purchased an Iphone 4g unlocked from Electronics, but their protector is the best. HTC guys are bad in giving bad quality protectors and we have to buy protectors once each month. I just want to ask you guys one thing that what will happen to the mobile phone if rain water goes inside?

Did everyone miss this? Maybe it's just me, but this looks just like SPAM. Either way, there are a ton of screen protector threads already, right? I went ahead and reported it.

I had a Zagg and hated it. It distorted my screen and was not smooth to touch and drag on. I have the Vikuiti (3M) one mentioned in the "perfect application of a screen protector" thread and I couldn't be happier. I've had it on for more than a month. If I didn't know better I wouldn't even know it was there. It's VERY smooth and crystal clear so it doesn't interfere with the screen at all.

I just ordered a Brando anti glare one from there site, after watching some video's of it on youtube it looks very good.

did you guys are so poor??
