i cant decide if i should get the SGP or IS.

[ismoker]

SGP...hmm..yeah iv been thinking on that one too seems something's better than others but still new brand and bit expensive.
i usually go for expensive ones if there's not much difference in price but also care the name value as well lol
still cant decide

I had the BSE skin on my 1st gen iPhone from July 07 to July 08. Over the last month the edges were turning loose pretty badly. I keep my iPhone in my front pocket, so dirt and lint tend to collect at the edges of the film. I really like the extra tack the film gives the iPhone, so it's way less likely to be dropped than with it naked. It also maintains the aspect of the iPhone making it easy to slide in and out of my pocket.

FWIW...
I have not seen nor tried the IS, but I recently replaced the BSE with BodyGuardz. It offers a much better fit and the corner flaps are much smaller, so it appears less likely that they will peel back with use.

I also applied BodyGuardz for 3G iPhone to my new iPhone 3G. It was a lot tougher to apply, but I think the 3G is more difficult because the design uses more compound curves.

Also, BG and IS offer lifetime replacement. The BG came with 2 sets so you can replace the used up film, request a new set, and then send the old set back. There is a $4.95 handling charge though.

I put my SGP shield on about 2 weeks ago. So far, I am 200% satisfied with it. Since there was not much difference in price between SGP and IS, I decided to go with SGP because SGP seems to have full protection. The package comes with 3 different parts, front, back, corners, and bezel whereas IS comes with 2 parts with little cut outs only.
And 30 to 40% thinner skin with better optical enahnced makes me decide SGP.

Hope you pick the right one for your iphone.

one i got comes with seperate pieces to cover bezel.
i guess BG or IS is also designed to cover the bezel but more like wraping as you cover the front or back

Im returning my Invisible Shield.

I had major problems.. orange peel, color distortion and poor fit on the back piece. That being said, their customer service was excellent. Prompt response, no arguments on the refund. If you are interested in trying this product, I would wholly recommend it. If it doesnt live up to your expectations, just send it back for a refund.

I have since switched to the Ghost Armor product. Much better quality. Less orange peel, no color distortion. Not as sticky as the Invisible Shield, either. Very nice tactile response. The back piece is designed better, too. No installation problems like I had with the back of the Invisible Shield. They also have great customer service. I screwed up putting the back piece on (got a nice bubble in it) and they are sending me a replacement piece. Very nice. Before I ordered, I asked if they would offer a refund if I wasnt satisfied with the product and they said yes. Not going to find out if they will live up to that, though, since I am satisfied with it.

Of the two, Id recommend the Ghost Armor. Better quality product. Both offer excellent customer service in my experience. Both said they would stand behind their product and make sure I was satisfied. For me, the way a company stands behind their product is just as important as how good it is. No complaints from either company on that one.

I havent used the BSE, so I cant comment on it.

I've had my Invisble Shield since tuesday but i haven't put it on as i thought they were gonna replace my phone because of the bad reception/dropped calls stuff. But since its a common problem i plan i putting it on today and seeing what its like. When i'm done maybe i'll throw up a review.

[Vish]

Well I put on my InvisibleShield this weekend. I have to say it sucked!! The video makes it look easy but man is it hard lol. But once it's on and all the air bubbles are out it looks really good on the front. The back part is the really sucky part. It protects my phone really good but the corners did not go on right. And stick up a little. So now it's time to see how long it'll last.

Thats one of the problems I had, too. The Ghost Armor back piece is cut differently and lays down much better, IMO.

I sent my Invisible Shield back for a refund today.. we will see if they provide it or not.

How does that work? I had plenty of smudges and fingerprints on my Invisible Shield. Its not special oil-resistant material or anything.

InvisibleShield. I have full body on my Instinct and iPhone (and iPod Touch). The tackiness of the Is material is really nice so your stuff doesn't slide everywhere. It's resilient, thick...no scratches on my devices. It stays on really well, too.

My only complaint is that it attracts lint and dust. so if there are any bubbles or open spots in your installation, you're likely gonna get dirt and lint in there. I'm looking at replacing the shield at least twice a year or so, just to keep the device protected and looking new -- i COULD leave the shield on forever, but getting those little spots that have attracted dust or lint really bother me.
