Invisible Shields 40% off through 12/22

[DesertEagleXIX]

I have one of these on my PSP, and two on my DS screens, and I swear by them. They are made out of the same material used to coat helicopter rotor blades; tough stuff.

Anyone, once you order, you get replacements for life. They only charge you about $3.00 postage. I found customer service to be very nice, also.

Getting them on can be a bit of a bitch. Just wash your hands first, and run them under the sink. After that, spray both the screen and the protector with the included bottle, and use the tool to get out any bubbles.

For the DS, the slighter smaller protector goes on the bottom.

Thanks. Just used this to pick up a full body shield for my 80GB Ipod.

[MusicNoteLess]

I actually bought a shield for my DS Lite in CC B&M for 10 bucks. decent deal tho.

[KingDox]

I have one for my ipod 5th Gen. I've had it on for over a year and the thing still is flawless.

[Kayden]

Hmmm... That seems like a bit o green for a piece of plastic, I'd really prefer to get some hands on time.

[Michaellvortega]

I have to say I was kinda disopionted once I read the first post, reading the Thread title I was expecticing to replace my old invisable shield with a new one or even better a over shield.........oh well.

I have bestskinsever DS lite full body one:
http://www.bestskinsever.com/servlet/the-27/Nintendo-DS-Lite-Total/Detail

I looked up some comparisons: http://www.gamershell.com/articles/1010.html


Same damn product except best skins ever cost less, but they also don't have a lifetime warranty either.

http://www.bestskinsever.com/servlet/the-template/faq/Page

And as far as getting them on, use some soapy water and a credit card to get the air bubbles out.

[varsitygamer]

they're fantastic, i can vouch. I got my ipod somtime in july or august, and applied it right out of the box. to this date, even the coating has yet to get a scratch or smudge or anything of the kind. it's incredible, i just keep it in my pocket with that, and it is still crystal clear.

its not like any normal plastic you'd apply, its crazy. watch the videos they have on their site of the scratch tests. they're 100% true. crazy stuff.

[Noodle Pirate!]

I love my psp one also. The price was the only thing I wasn't overly fond of. I guess your paying the little bit extra for a lifetime gaurantee though.

[hiccupleftovers]

I just use the Hori screen protectors for both my DS/Lite and PSp. Work perfect and they're endorsed for the DS..

[DesertEagleXIX]

How much are the Hori protectors I always hear about?

[yusuk3]

I have the "exact same thing" shield on my creative vision zen:m and it has quite a few scratches, although it IS massively better than an unprotected device. I'm not sure invisible shield would be better, since I haven't tried one yet. Has anyone tried both?

Also, it got some DEET sprayed on it late in the summer (bug repellent) and that left permanant smudges on it.

Anyone else know of things that DID damage their shields??? Worth taking it off and replacing with the invisible shield?

[getmyrunon]

$11 is considered expensive for this stuff? Seems well worth it to me..

[jrutz]

These things look really hard to apply. Thoughts?

[Corvin]

awesome. I've been wanting some of these for a while but held out because of price. I picked up two for our cell phones(which aren't on BSE). $25 each was a bit much, but I can swing $15 each on sale.

Thanks!

[coltcannon]

Ordered screen protection for my canon sd600 and my treo. ThanksOP

I have a BestSkinsEver on my Motorola Q and an invisible shield on my Sony Ericsson w810i. I definitely prefer the Invisible Shield because it definitely feels smoother after you put it on.

[Oops! I did it again.]

Play-Asia sells them for $8.39 shipped.

[Pure Apathy]

I just bought the write and protect pack from Bestbuy for $9.00, I may just take that back since I haven't opened it and grab the invisible shield one.

[spookyhurst]

I'm on my 3rd set of screen protectors (3rd party, don't remember which one) for my DS because my parents keep scratching the crap out of them. Hopefully this sucker will solve my problem. Thanks OP!

[hiccupleftovers]

How much are the Hori protectors I always hear about?

Between $5-7.

[getmyrunon]

I picked up a PSP protector. Thanks OP!

[TheShiz]

I picked up a PSP protector. Thanks OP!

how do you get the free shipping? i added a ds lite screen shield to my cart, went through all the registration crap, finally got to shipping and the cheapest option was UPS $7, for something that weighs an ounce probably, i don't think so.

is there a trick to getting free shipping?

[Zmanmurf]

Wow, for 9 bucks you can get the full shield for psp. I'm wondering, anyone think it might be better to get just the screen cover? The price diff is just a buck, but I think that if you got the full shield, it might not stick so tight on some of the curves, and especially the top where the surface has dimples. I dunno if I care about body scratches anyways.

[getmyrunon]

Free USPS shipping was an option for me right off the bat. Didn't need to go through any tricks, it was available on the pull down. I'm located in CA if it makes a difference.

No, I have one for my PSP. I handles all the curves; it cuts off right before the dimples.

[SOSTrooper]

Thanks, I bought a full armor for my macbook.

[cyber_ninja_monkey]

Uber noice share
definalty ordering this on my payday

[Zmanmurf]

Nice, thanks, gonna order one right now.

[clayfu]

took advantage of this, these shields are amazing. the videos on the site are for reals, my friend took his key and just went at it on this shield.

[Sinistar]

These things look really hard to apply. Thoughts?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.. I don't want to mess up my PSP or screw up the protector when applying it. Is it hard to apply?

[Jatsu]

I was thinking maybe the iS would be a great idea once I get a black DS Lite because it will likely be far less prone to fingerprints!

[Psykodelik]

Thanks for the post OP. I completely forgot about this company for my ds lite.

[Droogs]

Ordered one for my slvr...thanks

[somahead33]

I hate these things. The screen cover for the DS is horrible becuase it feels rubbery and is not at all useful when playing touch-heavy games like EBA. Also, dirt/lint can build up under the little flaps that round out the corners and for anal folks such as myself, this is a big turnoff (especially when it concerns my pearly-white DS). I do admit that the product is tough as nails and the return policy works like a charm. Just not for me I guess.

[imascrub]

hm i was considering this for my ds lite, but does it really make it harder to use the stylus pen on the lower screen?

i can see how it might feel that way it looks like the soft plastic that can probably get the stylus pen caught on itself while moving over the screen.

I'm using some Nintendo licensed screen protectors that I got in Japan when I got my DS Lite, and although the top screen is fine, the bottom screen's edges have a kind of funk around them. Like there was some tape that was stuck on there and tried to be removed. It doesn't really bother me all that much though. Using the pen is fine too since it's a hard plastic type protector, though it is scratched up a tiny bit.

I guess I'll just probably get a protector for my phone

[Pure Apathy]

I ordered the DS lite screen protector. Does anyone else have anything good/bad to say about the touch screen protector and if it messes up the touch screen sensitivity?

[sonicbooom]

I saw the official Hori screen protectors for the DS at Fry's for $6.99. I didn't know stores here carried them for some reason and I ordered them from play-asia. I felt stupid for buying them online after seeing them sitting there at Fry's.

Int erms of screen protectors, I have gone through Pelican, InvisibleShield, Hori and Intec(?). Hori have by far been the best choice. They are the clearest and go on super smooth and the sensitivity is fantastic. I imagine a good pairing would be the InvisibleShield DS cover and the Hori screen protector. I will do this if I ever purchase a black DS.

I was thinking about a combo as well as I currently have Intec's screen protectors on right now. Maybe just save the InvisibleShield ones for later. I currently have no problems with the Intec ones. I've had them on since the Lite came out.

[Zmanmurf]

Does the shield reduce screen quality at all? From the videos its hard to tell what the screen looks like

[newtype06]

i have the hori one for my ds lite but it's partly scratched inside now (the protector), is this a pretty good alternative? no sticky substance or whatsoever?

[sonicbooom]

Just buy more Hori screen protectors. They're only $6.99 at Fry's, if you have a Fry's.

[Pure Apathy]

I ordered Sunday night and haven't received a shipping confirmation email from them yet. I'm thinking about cancelling the order and just getting the hori protectors or pelican write and protect pack.

[SDC]

Two things...
1. This deal seems to still be active, which I found surprising
2. Are HORI protectors available B&M anywhere other than Fry's? Are they available anywhere with free shipping?

[clayfu]

guys, these screens beat the hori ones 50x's over. they are insane.

[Sinistar]

I ordered the PSP protector yesterday. Thanks OP.

[RaPtOrsIII]

no ship confirm yet, (bs one day shipping policy lol)

but ordered one for 2G nano

[spookyhurst]

I used cheapass free shipping and got mine today :).

EDIT: Just opened it. I ordered screen shields for my DS and DS Lite, and this is what I was charged. However, they shipped a full body shield for the DS Lite instead of just the screen shield. Cool!

[Corvin]

I received my cell phone body shields yesterday. Took about 30 mins. to apply. Looks fantastic.

Every order comes with a coupon with a link for another 40% off. When you type in the url though it just redirects to the 40off page. The coupon says the deal is good until 12/22.

[DesertEagleXIX]

Updated the date, thanks!

[Kendro]

If I put this on a PSP, will it make it "smudge-proof?" I don't like how I read that you need to spray some liquid before applying the shield. Doesn't that make it messy if you ever take it off?

[iowaholdem]

Cool! Thanks a lot OP. I'd never seen these things in action before, but the website's videos convinced me to replace my 2G Nano iSkin with the Invisible Shield. I also ordered some DS Lite screen shields - hopefully I'll be lucky enough as that other guy and somehow get a full set of shields for the DS! Haha!

All that for 20.94 - seems like a great deal to me!

[Pure Apathy]

I'm kinda pissed right now, I ordered last Sunday and paid for the priority shipping since I am going on a trip on Monday and wanted to use the protector on my new sealed DSL.

I called them up yesterday morning and the lady I talked to said that the protectors shipped out on Monday (but I never received confirmation). She also said I could call back and have replacements shipped out to me if the protectors didn't arrive yesterday afternoon when the mail comes.

I waited to see if they would come in today, and still nothing... Looks like I'll be calling them back on Monday morning.

[coltcannon]

I got both mine applied and they are awesome. Only problems comes from my lack of skill and minor debris that got under them. With the spray liquid its easy to fix problems.

[MSA]

I got my Hori screen protector at DecalGirl.
HORI DS Lite Screen Protector - $6.50 (http://www.decalgirl.com/browse.cfm/4,4322.htm)

[crazytalkx]

$6.45 shipping and $15 for the shield itself? Not sure if this is worth it...
EDIT: Nevermind. Just found the free shipping option and the videos of the thing in action, wow. Thanks OP!

[red_devil3]

Seems like a great option for my black DS Lite which is full of fingerprints...but I'm a noob when it comes to screen covers and it seems like it'll be a bit difficult to apply these.

[RiCeBo1]

Which phone model would best fit the LG Fusic since they don't have one for that exact model?

[DesertEagleXIX]

Does the shield reduce screen quality at all? From the videos its hard to tell what the screen looks like

Not at all. You can barely tell it's there. You'll only notice around the edges, if applied correctly.

[SteveMcQ]

Wow...deal extended. Nice. I missed out on it the first time. And what's this free shipping option crazytalk mentioned a few posts up? Is it actually a shipping option they have or a code I have to put in at checkout? Thanks.

[SDC]

Hopefully I'll be receiving a full body DS Lite shield for Christmas...
So might I ask what the proper technique to apply them is? Spray the liquid on the protector and then apply?
Can they be taken off and re-applied if I fuck up, or would I need to send 'em back for replacements?

[reiji]

Thanks OP! I've heard great things about these so I ordered one for my PSP (to go with my MGS:PO case) and one for my Sony Ericsson w810i phone.

I used the free shipping option (7-8 days) and it ended up only $15!

[coltcannon]

I fixed the bigger imperfection on my treo screen. It was really easy. Pulled it back a bit, used the spray, got the debris out and squeegeed it back down.

[Mr Peanut]

I just ordered a screen protector for my iRiver Clix.

Thanks OP.

[boogak]

Thanks OP, just got my 4G ipod shield in and liked it so much I decided to order one for my DS Lite as well!

[Corvin]

I already put one on my phone (KATANA), and it is great. Flawless. Very cool.

[Schwowsers]

Thanks OP! Just ordered one for my iPod.

[RiCeBo1]

Does that applesauce spray scratch remover for iPod work for the PS3 since I'm pretty sure they both use glossy paint?

[Pure Apathy]

These really are awesome. I've yet to get a scratch on mine and I have had one of these full body shields covering my DS Lite since June. At first, the touch screen feels slightly more resistant and rubbery, but you "break it in" in about a week and get used to it and it becomes just fine. They are a bitch to get on, but once you manage to get it on right, it's very rewarding. It's doubtful you'll ever have to worry about screen protection again on the device; I haven't and it's been six months nearly.

I just put mine on earlier and the stylus wants to stick to the touch screen. It's almost impossible for me to do good at all on Clubhouse Games bowling. When you "break it in" does the stylus actually stop sticking to the screen or did you just get used to the sticking?

[Morph06]

I wish I would have got one of these for my ipod before it turned into a paper weight, lol. Getting one for my DS lite, thanks.

[Cow_tipper]

Thanks OP, just ordered my psp a complete front shield. I'm tired of having to carry it in a case just to prevent it from being scratched.

[RaPtOrsIII]

wow these shields are weak, i got a bit of dust trapped inside my nano and when i tried to budge it from the outside with my fingernails, it left a dent on my shield.

[somahead33]

wow these shields are weak, i got a bit of dust trapped inside my nano and when i tried to budge it from the outside with my fingernails, it left a dent on my shield.
I had a hell of a time with the application process as well. I absolutley destroyed my skin on my first attmept with my iPod and had to get a replacement. The policy states no replacement for user error but the Apple logo came off when I tried to reapply and stuck to the shield making it look as though it was applied by a four year old. Give it a couple of days as tiny bubbles and some dents work themselves out over time. hopefully this is the case in your situation.

[clayfu]

all shields with a silicone adhesive are like that. i had one from some reputable european company same thing, the silicone rubs off.

just gotta be careful

[Sinistar]

Well I got mine today for the PSP (complete front shield) and apllied it, it was pretty easy laying it down, but I think I over did it on the solution.. I sure hope to hell none of it leaked inside the buttons or cracks in the PSP when I was squeegeeing it out and shorts anything out.. I was pretty carefule and I did remove the battery before installation, though.
Also the part on the upper right edge (near the triangle and circle buttons) doesnt seem to want to stick down..is that something that's normally like that , or will it "settle" in after the 24 hours after applying it? Also I cleaned the hell out of my PSP before applying it, but the surface of the shield doesn't seem that"shiny". Is it supposed to be like that?

[imascrub]

the surface of the screen will appear dimply when you view it at an angle in light, but when looking at it head on it'll look clear.

I just put one on my phone and it's pretty nice so far, though I had to apply it twice to get it right, it's nice though with the solution that you can apply and adjust it, instead of having to lay it down right the first time which is almost impossible for me. I had to reapply my first screen protector like 5 times before getting it right, and by that time there was some dust under the screen that I couldn't remove cuz the sticky side was so damn sticky lol.

[Sinistar]

Well, I'm not going to turn the PSP on for 24 hours like it says, just to be safe.. I guess if it looks screwed up I can start over and reapply it, but I'm afraid I'm going to run out of the spray.. can I just use some water or something?

[PawnTakesKing]

Cheaper at: http://www.bestskinsever.com. I bought one for my iPod about two weeks ago. It's the SAME EXACT THING.

[spookyhurst]

I had to make a second order and get some of the applesauce polish and a shield for my ipod. I haven't been rough with my ipod at all, but it's scratched all to hell.

For the poster that was almost out of solution, I think it only costs 60 cents or so. Of course, you would then have to wait around for it to arrive in the mail.

[Corvin]

All the solution is, is soap water. You can make your own with dish detergent. I work at a sign company and we apply these kinds of things day in and day out. Soap water works wonders. It only takes a drop of soap though mixed with your water.

I've had my shield on my phone for about a week now, my brother as well. They are nice, but something like that, that goes in your pocket all day-every day, seems to collect dust. Not a lot, mind you, but a tiny bit.

[forkyfork]

Thanks op.

Purchased one for my nano. Heard good things about these, but was wary of the price. This was enough to convince me. Hopefully it won't be too hard to apply.

[Limitbreaker02]

@ RiCeBo1

They do custom orders too.

Arg...if only I had seen this before ordering the complete front shield for my PSP. I love the stuff though. I have the full body shield for my black DS lite and my 30gb ipod, and a screen shield for my SLVR.

I guess I can buy the full body shield for my SLVR. Thanks OP.

[HeyBeerman]

bought one for the nano I'm getting for x-mas ... oops, am I supposed to know?

[crazytalkx]

Put it on my 30 gig Ipod. Pretty freaking sweet, the application process was a bit troublesome (had to reapply it) but it looks great now, flawless except there's a part that isn't protected (the side lining on the Ipod where the front and back meet).

[fizzle]

these things are awesome. have em for iPod, cellphone, and DS lite.

[twiztidgear]

I have an Invisible Shield on my mp3 player and cell phone and they really are great and worth the money. Don't like having cases on them cause it increases their size...and like not having to worry about scratches on the screen. These things are tough as hell.

[DesertEagleXIX]

Ok, some tips for you guys concerning application.

- First, make sure your system/device is clean. Try to eliminate all dust and fingerprints. I bought a soft pack of optical cleaners. They are moist, lint-free towelettes, that are used to clean glasses, binoculars, scopes, etc. I love 'em.

- Now, before you start the application, you may want to remove the battery, just to be safe.

- Then, wash your hands thoroughly. Scrub those fingertips with soap and water.

- Peel off your invisible shield, and run under water. Use the spray and COAT the shield with a mist, also spray some on your device screen . Like other activities- the wetter, the better!

- Now apply your shield to the device, slide it around until in is centered, and it lays completely flat. Now use the included black tool to squeegee all the liquid from under the shield. This should take about 20-30 strokes. Re squeegee every five minutes or so for the next 20 minutes. Blot any excess liquid coming out the side of the shield.

- Now, let sit for 24 hours or so.

- If you screw up, don't panic. Pull the shield up, resoak, and reapply.

- If you need more liquid, use a drop of soap in a vial full of water. Or just put a dot of dishsoap on the shield, and run underwater, scrubbing a bit.

Your final invisable shield should have no visable bubbles. I've applied several that are truly invisible. The only way you can see them, it to look at the texture in the light, and you'll see broad dimples.

[iowaholdem]
