Scratch Proof Your iPhone or iPod Touch
December 28, 08 by Doug
The invisibleSHIELD is the most popular way to make your iPhone(2G & 3G) and your iPod Touch(1st Gen & 2nd Gen) scratch proof. You might have seen the review I did for the BodyGuardz skin not too long ago. This is the same concept, except the invisibleSHIELD has been out much longer. . .and they have done a great job at marketing it.
The image above is a strength test showing you how durable the skin is. If a pen can’t be pushed through it, what are the chances your keys(or anything else in your pocket) can scratch through it.
The video above shows a much larger piece of the skin(same thickness though). . .and shows you just how much weight it can hold. Like I said, they’ve done a great job marketing the product. Here’s another strength test video. . .
They’re even having a 30% off sale on everything. All you have to do is use the coupon code “SITEWIDE30″.
Note – If you’re not familiar with the invisibleSHIELD, ZAGG also offers a skin for a LOT of other devices(laptops, other cell phones, ipods, handheld consoles, etc).

I was actually sorely disappointed with my InvisibleShield on my iTouch. What they don’t tell you is that the material they use has little random lines in it, it’s unavoidable, and it’s just part of the nature of the material. These lines light up like neon on the iTouch screen and are VERY distracting and annoying. And since they’re not scratches (which the product has a lifetime warranty against ever getting), but LINES, see, they won’t really help you with it, you’re just stuck. Re-reading their warranty and product information, you can see that they’ve very cagily set themselves up not to be on the hook for this “lines” issue.
To their credit, they did grudgingly give me a one-time replacement, which was as bad or worse than my original one. I ended up using the back piece to keep the chrome clean, but took it off the screen. Real shame, this could be a killer product, but the material they use is just fundamentally flawed and blemished and they’re basically unwilling to cop to that.

Hey Dan,
I think I know what you’re talking about. I don’t see ‘lines’ on my screen. . .but I can tell that it is on the screen. I’ve been using it for about 4-5 months and it’s nothing horrible. You definitely get used to it.
Oddly enough i did the exact opposite that you did. I kept the front part, and removed the back(I’m more worried about the glas scratching than the back of the device).
