Snakehn Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) i installed the full body shield last night, installation went smooth. but..... in the front shield, i notice some nasty vertical likes along the screen, and they are very noticeable in white backgrounds. here i am including a picture, you have to pay attention to it, and it doesn't look like a big deal in the picture, but it does look bad when looking at pictures or watching movies. any of you with this "Invisible" shield here ?

instant.human Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 well i can see it and it looks like something to bug one... :( i would guess that its a general fault of the invisible shield, so that it at least is not your fault... maybe you were unlucky because i did some research on the IS before and i didnt find that kind of problem... dont they offer a lifetime guarantee? go to your local electronics store and ask for what to do. i mean its visible even on photographs...

Snakehn Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 i wrote an email to the IS people, they say that it was an imperfection and that they can ship another one "free" as long as i pay for shipping :( and i really don't want to go through all that PIA again LOL Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/663210-invisibleshield-for-ipod-touch/#findComment-589724738 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKoo Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I have a BeskSkinEver on a Sansa e280 (which is the exact same as an InvisibleShield) Let me tell you, you aren't going to get a better application then that. That is hardly a problem to be honest. What's worse is the orange peel effect (which everybody experiences) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/663210-invisibleshield-for-ipod-touch/#findComment-589724770 Share on other sites More sharing options...
punklefish Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I just got one for my iPhone and noticed the same thing, I will definitely email them about it if that's the response that you got. The install was a pain though, don't really want to do it again.

Snakehn Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 yeah i see that "orange peel effect" which i don't mind at all, but those lines bug me, even when watching movies i can't help it but pay more attention to those lines than the movie itself LOL So "KKoo" do you think that even if they send me a replacement one, would look the same??

Snakehn Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 I would strongly recommend trying best skin ever. http://www.bestskinsever.com/I have applied bse on 4 different player and all the results have been great! Looks like a good alternative, and half the price too. too bad i already spent $25 on that IS :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/663210-invisibleshield-for-ipod-touch/#findComment-589724858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKoo Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 So "KKoo" do you think that even if they send me a replacement one, would look the same?? Yes. If you feel you have a good application, no point in removing the skin to place a new one on it. Might get a bad application Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/663210-invisibleshield-for-ipod-touch/#findComment-589726064 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lqv2015 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Are you referring to the lines that goes up & down? Could it be the solution left over? Did you let it dry for 24 hours? Were the lines there on the IS before you applied it? I have the IS installed on my touch & it's flawless. Installation was extremely easy too. Got it for half off when it went on sale last year.

trek Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I installed an IS on my Touch a few months ago and there wasn't those streaks you show in your photos. I bought another IS for my new iPhone just recently and I can say they really cheaped out on the material now. The iPhone did have the streaks on it after my application and setting period (48 hours). I removed the front screen film and replaced it with a Power Support Anti-glare shield from the Apple Store. Much better and is way easier to read outdoors now.

witalit Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Yes I have also noticed this on a friends iPhone. Sucks really 'invisible' does not truly mean invisible these days :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/663210-invisibleshield-for-ipod-touch/#findComment-589730880 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 i would love to have one on my iPod Touch (I hate my current case....) but I can't apply stickers even if my life depended on it Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/663210-invisibleshield-for-ipod-touch/#findComment-589730894 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakehn Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 they wrote me again saying that they would send a free replacement as long as i pay the shipping, that would bring the total to $30 with the first IS and i really don't want to do all that again so i guess i'll stick with the current one i have. i guess i can live with it. but is funny, InvisibleSHIELD not so "Invisible" Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/663210-invisibleshield-for-ipod-touch/#findComment-589730910 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun05 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 i think its from when you used a credit card or watever to smooth it out when applying it. the same happend to mine. u will get used to it after a while :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/663210-invisibleshield-for-ipod-touch/#findComment-589730912 Share on other sites More sharing options...
