I was thinking about purchasing an Invisible shield at a mall nearby, but just to make sure before i buy it, are there any bad things about it?

the only drawback that i can see is the orange peel texture

I have the invisibleShield on my G1, and my gf's.

I hated the texture on the screen, so I removed that part and went back to a Martin Fields screen protector - it's a lot smoother and doesn't have a "rubbery" feel to it like the invisibleShield.

It is also quite difficult to put on. You have to spray each section with a water spray to stop it sticking to you and everything else. You need VERY clean hands, or you'll get dust, grease, hairs, bits of skin, etc, trapped under it and it looks terrible.

On some of the corners where it curves round the corners of the phone I have a tiny bit sticking out where it hasn't stuck properly.

Now onto the pros...

It gives the phone a rubbery feel - some people hate this but I love it. It lets me grip it much better. If I put my phone on my dash of my car, or the arm of my sofa, it stays there rather than slipping off.

It really is a VERY tough protector against scratches etc - much tougher than any of my previous protectors.

When you first put it on, it'll look like it has hundreds of tiny bubbles under the surface. These will honestly disappear after a few days. After a week it'll look a nice glossy black colour - great!

I'd highly advise watching the tutorial installation videos on their website before installing, and allow an hour to install it.
