Good protection, but fantastically difficult to install.... April 7, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Well, after struggling with the install for literally 20 minutes I have to say the best that I can rate this is a 3 out of 5.
Let's get the pros out of the way since they are marginal:
1. Strong and resistant to scratches. Part of the reason this is is that the product is rather flexible. It's has kind of has a strong latex rubber feel to it.
2. Good fit. It was cut extremely within the tolerances of the screen it was intended to fit.
Now the cons:
1. The fact that it is flexible made it difficult to fit to screen. At times it was a perfect fit without any tension, but as soon as you squeegee it it stretches beyond the boundary of fit.
2. The adhesive adheres way too quickly. Even when wet it sticks. I was hoping it would slide rather easy for a bit to position it and then allow for squeegee-ing....but no way. Due to the sticking it took me about ten minutes to finally get a resonable fit.
3. The biggest issue is that this requires you spray the water/liquid it comes with. First of all the sprayer is horrible quality and doesn't put a mist out to evenly place moisture. Also in order to place it you have to wet your fingertips, the adhesive side of the sheet and the non-adhesive side of the sheet. In the end you get water everywhere and while my particular device didn't seem to be affected, I would suspect that other electronic devices may not be so accomodating. Also the wet application makes it difficult to see what is air or water below the surface until all the water bubbles on top of the surface are removed and then guess what....by then it's too late to get the bubble up. Then you have to remove the invsible shied, which REALLY sticks to the LCD screen even before it is really dry.
4. The invisbleshield doesn't absord reflection and glare very well. My Garmin screen seemed to have an anti-glare surface that increased in reflection once the InvisibleShield was installed.
In the end I ended up with a good fitting protection for my Garmin with only about two small bubbles and a speck of dust/dirt underneath it. This was my compromise for good protection for the screen. Now I do feel good about using it in my truck no matter what I use to touch the screen.
Here are some recommendations for others. Given that I've used other typical clear 'plastic type' protections, I must say this gives a superior form of protection, but when you install it the best places are on perfectly flat surfaces where you can easily squeegee to the edge. This will also prevent water from entering inside the chassis of the unit. Can anyone say iPod is the best here? Also use A LOT of the water solution and wet the living daylights out of your fingertips, the non-adhesive side and especially the adhesive side. In hindsight I believe that if there was enough water under the film then it would have 'floated' a bit better and slid in place without the frustration. Also start the fit in the corner.....not the middle....not a side....in the corner. Lay it down and let the sides align it in. If you see a gap developing in a side then stop, pull back and continue. Remember that it is flexible, so always allow it to stretch back to the original shape before laying it down again or it will exceed the screen area.
Good luck on your purchase and install.
