ShieldZone’s Invisible SHIELD Review
By John,

The InvisibleSHIELD from ShieldZone.com claims to be the toughest protective shield for all kinds of gadgets. It’s originally used by the military to protect the leading edges of helicopter blades from wear and tear.
First snap off my dull screen protector, its time to get a new one. According to the instruction given, I need to spray the SHIELDspray application solution on both side of the “shield”. Not like the ordinary screen protector, the InvisibleSHIELD have a sticky side which is firmly stuck on your device’s screen or body. The air bubble is easily pushed out with the SHIELDspray and Squeegee, and it dissolves by itself within 12 hours. One thing for sure, I was amazed with its sketch-free protection.
See below for more reviews and photos…
Items that are include in the InvisibleSHIELD package:
- Pre-cut device protective shield. It’s available over 400 types of pre-cut digital devices designs.
- Squeegee. Use to push the air bubble out of the shield.
- SHIELDspray application solution. It is a quick dry solution for ease installation and helps to “dissolve” air bubble.
- Application instructions.
Complete package with pre-cut shield, squeegee, SHIELDspray solution and application instructions.
Spray both sides of InvisibleSHIELD before apply to my Tungsten E
“Squeeze” out the air bubble with squeegee.
Done. All the small bubble are “dissolve” by itself within 12 hours.

I tried two times to apply the Invisible Shield on my 60 GB iPod and both times the result was terrible. It’ll never look like it shows on their commercials. Yes, it’ll protect, but when you apply it, you can’t position the film equally, and you’ll never get rid of the bubbles of the included ShieldSpray under the shield. I don’t have the ability to make a picture of my iPod, but believe me, it looks ugly, the whole surface is bumpy, plus it’ll make the display hardly visible, because of the light reflection.

Dear Vladimir,
I’m agreeing with you that there is a bit tricky when applying the “shield”. You need to spray more on both sides, especially the sticky one, so that you can adjust it later.
I get it done on first try. If you stuck half way, spray some solution on the sticky side, peel it off and apply it again. Don’t forget to spray some on the surface too and you should easily push all the bubbles out of your shield with squeegee.
Cheers,
John.

I purchased one of these today, and had it installed for 5$ extra, it looks flawless. I have no complaints whatsoever

Hey Jenny,
There is an installation kiosk at my local mall so perhaps check yours. You can call customer service on their website and they might be able to help you find one. Hope this helps.

I hate the stuff. I used it on a brand new trax phone. After putting it on the touch pad would stick to the invisible shield on my screen and it ripped it out of the phone,ruining the phone and after contacting the company, they said to bad, that’s not our problem.

If you can get your shield properly installed, it works nicely. If not, you are screwed, and the company does not care to help you. BE WARNED — The 30 DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE starts the moment you pay for it. So if it takes 4 weeks to arrive, and you don’t install it in the next 48 hours, you are out of luck. Too bad. Nobody cares. At least not at Zagg.com.
It is possible to install them correctly, but it is extremely difficult to do it flawlessly, and especially on your first try. I would not recommend this product because of the difficulty of the install (at least a flawless install) and their sketchy guarantee.
Once it is on, it looks very nice (if installed flawlessly, otherwise it looks like crap) and does its job well. Too bad Zagg doesn’t care about its Invisible Shield customers’ satisfaction. If you must buy this, DO NOT pay full price and try and get a discount. It is not worth the hassle for full price.

I’m glad I didn’t read these reviews before I bought one for my Garmin 60csx… I too had trouble with the install, but I added a big drop of water to the screen (the gps is water-proof) and then got a good fit the 3rd time… there is a bit of a knack to it, for sure. I have consistently heard that these things are terrible on ipoods, etc, due to the moving parts, the use of a liquid on the sensitve device, etc… I would suggest you go ahead and pay someone if you have the chance! But for my GPS I can’t recommend it enough - the oritional screen is damn sturdy but it’s great to have such great extra protection! I feel free to put it in my pockets all the time, no worries for the keys, etc.. or the clang of gear…
-my 2 cents
