Invisible Shield - Full Body Protection

[lasaint888]

Hey Folks-

After doing some research and following the forums I had decided to get the Invisible Shield full body shield for my wife's Treo 600 and I opted to get the Invisible Shield screen protector for my Treo 650. My wife is a little more carefree about handling her Treo than I am -- hence, the full body protection for her 600 from the potential scratches.

Once I receive it and install it, I will post my comments/opinions about this product. I don't think I've read anywhere on this board about the full body shield -- maybe I'll be the first?

Does "Full Body" mean the whole Treo, or just the screen?

The full body shield cover the "almost" then entire body of the Treo -- including the screen. I believe that the shield does not cover the antenna nor the keyboard, not 100% sure. However, once my package arrives, I will post my comments/opinions on this.

If anyone is interested in me taking before/after pictures, please post here.

Cheers!

Let's see pictures! I've used the Invisible Shield for my iPod Video and love it. Just make sure you're hands are clean, you have warm soapy water and lots of patience.

I finally have pictures!!! Please see the link below:

There are pictures from an original install and a new/current install. As mentioned, I originally purchased the Full Body Shield for my wife's Treo 600 and ended up installing it on my Treo 650. The ShieldZone (the manufacturer) made a mistake on labeling the Full Body Shield as compatible for both Treo 600 and 650. It turns out the product was made for the 650 and not the 600. The ShieldZone had sent me a replacement after I had contacted them about my experience with unsuccessfully installing their product on my wife's Treo 600.

I will provide my summary (brief) as follows:

Pros:
Gives peace of mind against protection of scratches
Hardly noticeable (invisible?)
Lifetime warranty / replacement
Excellent tech support

Cons:
$$ Expensive
Can take between 1-2 hours for install
Takes 24 hours to completely dry
Comes with only 1 bottle of spray application (should come with at least 2)
Not for the faint at heart

Great photos. I've had nothing but success with my Invisible Shield on my iPod. The Pros/Cons are similar with the iPod -- and the Pros easily outweigh the cons. Mine did not come with a spray - just the shield. I found the biggest issue was getting the corners correct. Mine isn't perfect, but I'm pleased overall.

Not that I would, but I wonder how difficult it is to remove the invisible shield?

Removing the Invisible Shield is quite easy, actually. You find one more corner and start peeling away. It's amazing how easy it easy for it to come off as opposed to installing it. It may be a little more challenging for the screen protector since you have very little room to play with. Applying the full body shield can take anywhere between 1-2 hours. After the second time, I can probably do it in 45 min -- that's after 2 tries though.

Personally, I really didn't want it on my Treo 650. Originally, I wanted to put it on my wife's Treo 600 as she is more 'carefree' about handling it than I am. She tends to throw it in her purse, carry it 'naked' without a case or without hesitation to slide it across a table. I, on the other hand, am 'prude' when handling my Treo.

However, the Full-Body Shield does provide an extra security or peace of mind against scratches and alike. It doesn't provide cushion or absorb shock against drops.

The biggest think I like about this product is that it has a 30 day Money Back Gurantee. I am almost coming close to the 30 day trial but will probably keep it. I just wished they would had offered it for the Treo 600 for my wife.

Cool pics of the install. I can already say that I don't want the full body cover of the Invisishield.

This company is here in Salt Lake and they have a place not too far from my house where you can take it to them and have them install it ($10 extra).

But.. i would like to see more details and pics of just the screen being done. I wouldn't mind getting my screen done. So far, I've been unsuccessful with the Palm and some other brand of screen protector that looked horrible and left all sorts of dust and bubbles.

For iPods, this product works awesome.

I did a fair job putting the Invisible Shield on my iPod, but I'd easily pay $10 for a perfect job - if they were local. I think it took me an hour or so -- and I kinda messed up the front. All in all, I love the invisible shield for the iPod. I agree, not right for the Treo.
