This is a great product [Posted on 2008-05-12]
This is a great product. The previous reviewer stated it came off within a few hours. Thats because you need to do something novel like follow the directions. The directions clearly state to let it set up for 24 hours. I had one on my iPod Mini for years and it was great.
Follow the instructions and your ipod will retain it's like new appearance! [Posted on 2008-05-15]
I agree with the other reviewer who emphasized the importance of following the instructions. I must also add that patience and attention to detail are key. For the uninitiated or those who hate reading instructions, there are videos on the net that show the proper procedure. Here's my experience:
I found that the device should be cleaned very well with a 50/50 water/alcohol mixture and a microfiber (lens cleaning) cloth. If you use a paper towel or your shirt, you're more likely to leave dust and lint on the device. After it's been cleaned and all the finger grease, etc. has been removed, the activation spray should be applied generously to the "sticky" side of the film and your fingers. Once set into place, just squegee all the liquid away and let it dry overnight. Ideally, one should apply the Invisibleshield to a new Nano so there won't be any scratches on the mirrored back - unfortunately mine was used for quite some time and already had some fine scratches...nevertheless, it is now well-protected.
I've used Invisible Shield products on other devices with great success and this one for the Nano is no exception: it does not affect any functions, makes the Nano "nonslip" and scratch-free, is removable, and has a lifetime guarantee to boot. What's not to like?
Best protection [Posted on 2008-06-20]
If you want your nano protected, this is the product to get. After placing the invisible shield it will never be scratched. The only problem about the IS is that its kinda frustrating to put on.
No brainer, gotta get it [Posted on 2008-06-23]
I have this stuff on all my gadgets (where applicable).
I can carry my iPod in my pocket with change and keys, cary in the glove box, lay it beside me on the concrete at pool, with no worry of scratching the screen or the chrome on the back.
FYI, you will pay almost double buying it from the manufactures website, get it on Amazon.
Mixed Results [Posted on 2008-06-24]
I have used this product twice, with mixed results. The first time I used it was on an ipod I gave someone as a gift. Although the application is tedious and can be very tricky, we were pleased with the results.
I recently purchased a new ipod for myself and bought the shield product again. However, I had a terrible time installing the shield piece that fits over the screen. Although the instructions say that micro-bubbles will "work themselves out" after a period of time, they did not. It never did clear up over the display screen. Very frustrating. However, I was delighted to learn that the shield product is removable, even after application (go to the product web site for those instuctions).
In the future, I would only buy this product for a device that was going to be used very frequently without a case (such as a cell phone). Since I keep my ipod in a case with a screen shield almost all of the time, I have decided it is not worth the frustration to deal with the shield product. However, if you do not keep your ipod/mp3 player in a case, I would recommend this product. I just hope they make the application process much easier in the future, so that users can achieve more consistent results.
