Default InvisibleShield-Did I waste my money

Well I put the invisible shield on yesterday and did everything as instructed. I dont mind how it looks but there are big bubbels everywhere. It says give the bubbels 2-3 days to work them selfs out....eh im not sure about that. Anyone know if they actully do? And if not how the hell do I take this thing off? lol

I love my IS! I too had them put it on. But if you do need to take it off it usually does come off pretty well without leaving residue (at least it did when I needed to take it off my old Pearl).

I got body Guardz and it is awesome. It took 3 days to completely look nice. I had a lot of bubbles with solution but they do disappear with time. I think as long as you put good amount of solution you're in good shape. Just make sure don't place it in dusty places when it is drying or dust will get inside.

I wasted my money on it. I didn't like how it was a dust magnet, it just pissed me off.

Well, i put the back first and it was perfect, no bubbles, nothing, i could not believe it, however the smudges on the back were driving me nuts. Waited 2 days before i did the front, once i started doing the front, omg what a major pain, i got pissed off and removed the back one, threw away the front and left the screen, i do love the screen protector seems not to atract as many smudges as w/o it.

I put all of mine on in one setting. The only problems I had was that I got the screen shield a little crooked and I had a couple of small bubbles and wrinkles in the corners in the back. So after a couple of days and it didn't go away I decided to try again. I got a saucer of water and I put two drops of liquid hand soap in it and mixed it up. I got my fingers good and slippery and started peeling it off. I tell you, they are really stuck on there. I was impressed. I was a little worried that I might leave permanent fingerprints because I had to pince the shield so hard to pull it off, but after I got it off I washed it very thoroughly in the saucer (I just rubbed it with my fingers in the water). Note, be careful to always keep the sticky side down in the saucer. Once it gets wet and slippery, both sides feel the same. Finally, I put the shield back on the phone. It was wet enough that I could easily move it around and get it just right. Then I slid the squeegee lightly over the shield to push out some of the water. Wipe up the pushed out water with a paper towel. Squeegee a little harder and you'll feel the shield start to stick. Do this carefully and you'll have no bubbles at all. Now for the back, even after putting it on the second time, I couldn't get rid of the wrinkles. I had to cut a little extra relief in the corners to get them to lay flat. No big deal. I just used an exacto knife with a new blade. Looks perfect. I am completely satisfied.

It is not a waste. Lifetime guarantee. As long as that's intact your good. Though this lifetime guarantee is almost worthless when the product it's protecting is guaranteed to get damaged on 90% of all moderate accidents AND most consumers care for the product as if it was a fetus.

The shield isn't impervious to your finger nails, ironically. You can pick on it and actually stretch the membrane slightly.

Exactly what I did. I think there was no choice but to use a blade for some relief on the corners.

The bodyguardz design is a lot easier to put on.
