ZAGG Invisible Shield Screen Protector Review

The box is rather thick for a screen protector, but that’s because it is a complete kit to ensure proper installation.  Inside the box is a vial of adhesive solution, micro-fiber cleaning cloth, rubber squeegee and the screen protector itself.  Many people will not be happy that only one protector comes in the box, because if you screw it up then you have to purchase another one.

There is a simple installation procedure, and if you do not follow it then you will not be happy with the results.  The instructions are printed on the inside of the box when you open it.  I was timid at first, but be confident and you’ll do it right.

First you have to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.  Make sure there are no skin oils and that you’re applying this in an area without dust.

The included solution is what makes the protector semi-permanent.  You have to spray your fingertips with the solution first.  Doing this ensures that you don’t create fingerprints when handling the plastic protector sheet.

You then peel the screen protector off the backing and then moisten the front and back side with the application solution… DON’T spray any on your phone.

Then you simply place the Shield on your device, with the adhesive side down.  It will have a little give while the solution is still wet, so you can slide it into place.  Then you use the included squeegee to push the excess moisture and any ubbles away from the center.  Then you soak up any excess with the included lint-free cloth.

At this point the Invisible Shield won’t be so transparent and you will see some defects.    These defects and bubbles will go away if you leave your phone alone for the next twelve hours.  After about a day or two the shield will be completely transparent and unnoticeable.  Trust me.  I was skeptical at first, but after following the instructions and waiting I am very happy with the results.

So what’s it like?  We tell you on the next page.
