hey man. The case is holding up very well. It doesnt scratch hardly at all and the screen protector has smoothed out. I still would recommend it to anyone. I take the case off about every 4 days to clean the phone and get all the dust out. NO scratches at all on the phone. The rubber rails do their jobs perfectly.

To the guy that has an obvious hate against Invisible Shields, calm down. It seems like you are the only person here that thinks the anti-glare offers better protection! I know it looks better, but the invisible shield is stronger and holds up better because it is thicker and more resilient. Ok thanks

you just have no comprehension-

ur inivisible shield btw..." The ultra-thin film is only 0.2 mm thick"
and has no uv-protection


The only thing good about the invisible sheild is the lifetime warranty but who even owns their device more then 2 years away-


Its over priced saran wrap-

[Neil1138]

what!? first off, why do you keep talking about UV protection? why the hell would I care for UV protection??? Its a glass screen... I dont see what UV protection is gunno do. And second, the lifetime warranty is for other stuff other than time... If it scratches, breaks, ect. Its replaced. I had a PS crystal film for my 2G iphone and the film scratched, it wasnt replaced b/c the warranty didnt cover it. With Invisible shield, damage is covered. So that to me is worth the extra premium.

looks really good!

You wont get any scratches on the screen at all no mattery what screen protector u use.

Thats why its called a screen protector-

It shouldnt have orange peel.
That just goes to show you how poorly it was designed.
Its a screen.
Visual Clarity should be TOP priority when designing it.

I never said it didnt provide protection, Im just arguing the fact that it provides the same protection as the rest.
No more , no less.

if anything the Steinheil provides more protection due to its Anti-UV ray coating.

I dont misunderstand. I consider it better protection if the protector itself doesn't easily take damage, thus I don;t have to replace it as often as I did my other screen protectors. In fact I have had it for 3 months now and before that I went through about 6 other screen protectors. In YOUR opinion, the screen protector should provide clarity. In my opinion it does too... so I see some orange peel when the screen is OFF, unless you are looking at an angle when it is ON you don't see any orange peel anyway. Really the negative of this shield while the screen is on is that it provides no anti-glare. And again, it is comforting to know that if it gets slid across the table on its face by one of my idiot friends I don't have to buy yet another overpriced cut piece of plastic to stick onto my screen. I have spent less money on the one shield (which I can get replaced free of charge but I have not yet had to) over the three months of having it than I did on the plethora of shields I have had before the zagg.

Ok guys, stop the argument about invisibleShield better or worse. I have tried all the following protections for my iPhone 3G. But at the end, my iPhone 3G is already on my 5th or 6th replacement. I have totally lost count already. All I can tell you is if you want to keep your phone in good shape, just short out the battery of your iphone and go to Apple Store for a replacement. Do that every month so you have a new iPhone 3G every single month until your warranty ends. I didn't mean that for replacement but it turned out to be that way either dead pixels, cracks at the plastic, dust under the screen, battery not charging, crashing to apple logo of death, man iPhone 3G sucks!

Cases I have used: invisibleShield front and back, Griffin wave case, Incase slider.
I can tell you that invisibleShield does provide good anti-scratch protection, but not against shocks. Also I don't like the texture for the touch screen, it makes it hard to scroll around espeically for playing ENIGMO, so I took it off and never apply the front for my replacements. The best solutions for anti-shock and anti-scratch are: invisibleShield for back only, Wavecase, crystal clear screen protector. NEVER combine invisibleShield with INCASE SLIDER because when you take out the iPhone 3G, the case's rubber rail will rip off your shield. Wave case on the other hand is SNAP IN, easy to manage. You need invisibleshield to protect your Bezel (Silver edge) from your case scratching it.

Who says there is no need for life time warranty, I have done the replacement for 3 times and possibly going for my 4th time due to my 5th yo 6th iPhone 3G replacement from Apple. Everytime I must need to take out the film and re-apply it. It's extremely time consuming. But once you have done it correctly, it stays for forever! So to me $24.99 is reasonable protection against scratches IF your iPhone 3G is going to be your LAST iphone 3G.

Note: invisibleShield does take scratches. Try to scratch it with something such as debris on a table by sliding your phone around. You will see hairline scratches easily. You don't even need to use knife nor sharp object to scratch it. InvisibleShield is not as tough as I thought but it is still the best on the market so far.

But my best solution? Just go to Apple store for a replacement. Plain and simple with the brand new feel everytime. Yeah I'm talking about Brand New ripping out the plastic film and re-apply all those protections I have mentioned above! It's a hazzle, but Apple has already trained me to do it smoothly from the iPhone 3G's design flaw. I think Apple should pay me all the gas and time!

Anyway I just got my NEW REPLACEMENT AGAIN!!! DAMN IT! From Apple store yesterday. Mine is 16 GB WHITE. So this time I try using a WHITE INCASE SLIDER WITHOUT ANY invisibleShield and only one crystal clear polycarbonate static film from Griffintechnology for free. There are downsides to the INCASE:
1. Hard to take out iPhone 3G
2. Once dust is trapped inside, you MUST need to clean them before sliding your phone back, otherwise, expect some NICE SCRATCHES.
3. NO SIM CARD OPENING SLOT!!! Extremely inconvenient when you need to work in places that CAN'T use camera phones and need to switch to NON-Camera phones before work.

Yup, I'm done with wave case. It's scratching the silver area when I don't have invisibleShield due to that fact that I was expecting a replacement from the dead pixels, and I'm too lazy to call invisibleShield to send me a replacement just yet before another replacement from Apple.

Gunmetal incase looks cool I was thinking of getting that but since my White iPhone 3G may not look that great with a gun metal shell so ... oh well... I went for the white at the end.... Any suggestion for me? I really like INCASE Design, but that case just doesn't work together with invisible Shield.................. Not until my next replacement.

what? how do you just "short out your iphone battery"??? I wanna know...

btw... i dont have the whole invisible shield... I just have the front. I know the back piece will make my iphone get stuck in the incase slider so I didnt put it on. I just have the FRONT invisible shield + incase slider

[Tokyo]

I have have the invisible shield and want the incase slider for the 2G iPhone, Ill give you 3 cases if anyone has one

[BluBrett]

I'm so happy your loving the case i can't wait to get mine! I got the griffin elan form for my 16gb black and it would look so much better if the case didnt destroy the back of my iphone. I was P.O.'d so i hope i love the slider as much as you!

It was the defective cable which I guess the wire internally shorted the battery. You can try to break your USB charging cable by coiling it and compress hard on it. You will encounter charging on/off in 1 second. So it basically shorting the battery until it is depleted.

But I guess I am not going to get any replacement it's just too much trouble already.... iPhone has cool interface, but lacking flexibility and no voice command compare to Windows Mobile phones. I guess I'll just need to tolerate until the next update.

I have the same setup and LOVE it. Black slider and 2G screen Power support = greatness!

[BluBrett]

I have had this case for a while and it has taken a few drops. of the 3 or four drops,the phone is still perfect and the case only has minor dents. i would definitely recommend this case to anyone who thinks they would like it

[thetoothfairy]

I have the red one.... I really like it. The gold one was cool also..... Everyone at the Apple store here in Florida all had red ones.......
