Question for anyone who has used this item. After putting it on, how long did you wait to turn your G1 back on? Also how long did it take until it looked like all the application had evaporated? Thanks

12 hours to dry. I actually turned my phone on after 2 hours when there was no excess moisture. I recommend taking the back cover completely off when applying it to cover so water doesn't get into your speaker and camera area. And actually it took about a whole day or so for all the moisture to completely disappear.

I did mine with the phone on... but I DON'T recommend doing that :)

How does your phone look/feel with that on there?

Overnight to "dry"... and really a couple of days for the very small "bubbles" to disappear.

As for the feel.... not sure that I like the "sharpness" of the edges... but it's better than scratches.

I just got mine today, install took a long time. I'm going to keep the screen cover on for sure, and will wait to see how it looks when its dry for whether or not I'm going to keep the body part on.
I had InvisibleShield on my last phone (just the screen) and didn't like it as much as Bodyguardz I have now. Bodyguardz doesn't leave the "orange peel" look that everyone is talking about that I had on my last phone. I've also noticed this one doesn't give as much resistance with my thumb as the InvisibleShield did. However both kinds of protectors do knock down the "crispness" of the picture quality a little bit (granted my Bodyguardz screen is still drying). So far I prefer Bodyguardz in every aspect over InvisibleShield, Ill let you guys know once it dries if there's something I don't like about it.

The phone feels about the same, the back lost it's soft touch but overall it's just fine.
One thing I have to add about bodyguardz is the cut pattern: it leaves the "corners" on the sides sharp.
Invisibleshield have a different cut pattern where the skin folds to the sides which is better but I don't like the orange peel texture on their material.
