edit:

Found these reviews of BestSkinsEver, InvisibleShield, and BodyGuardz. A good read.

This is from the FAQ on bestskinsever.com

Q. What's the difference between The Best Skins Ever and the "Shield" skins that cost 20-25 bucks?

A. Other than price, it's the sameTHING.

Therefore I don't think there is any difference.

Actually I bought BSE, Shield, and Bodyguardz and You can tell the difference. BSE is ok if you want to go cheap, its thinner and the product looks ok as for end result. Shield is thicker than BSE, and easier to apply but is higher quality then BSE. Bodyguardz which i have on right now is most deff the best! I put it on perfectly just like the pictures they showed. It looks and feels good, thickest flim, barley any glare anyways. It works out ot be 12.50 each but you have to buy two!

Trust me you just paid 400-600 for the iphone.. dont go cheap on it now. Think about it why do you think their is such a price difference? 9$ for BSE 12.50 for BG and 25 for shield ( life time warantee) (um nothing is going to happen to the film anyways)..Bodyguards FTW!!!!

I use the BSE on my iPhone and I really like it. It was easy to apply and took about 30min. only $7.99, can't beat that!

So I got the Bodygardz skin today and I have to say it looks much smoother. I will try to take pics of the BSE and then the Bodygardz version. It looks like it is designed better too for the rear being one single large piece instead of a few smaller ones. Definitely more posh packaging but I suppse that doesnt matter much, and should be considering its 3x the cost.

I love my invisible Shield, at times i think that plastic is costly however NOT a SINGLE Scratch and I LOVE IT, I want to put invisible shield on my macbook pro but they gonna break my balls with like 80 bucks for plastic.

anyhow love invisible shield

Like a previous post I also have all three now. I have to agree with what he posted as well, that being the bodygardz is the better of the three. I will post pics later today of all three for you can see for yourself (shuffle-bodygardz, ipod-invis, iphone BSE (for the moment). I will be replacing the BSE with the Bodygard, the product is much smoother, it seems BSE has become more orange peelish than before (had it on a razor). The thicker film is also a dbl edge sword IMO of the bodygardz, it makes it more tight to fit in the charger for the shuffle which concerns me for the iphone as well.

can I just buy the cover for the back since I already have the anti glare film for my screen?

[Michael415]

Here are a few shots:
shuffle is bodygardz, iphone is BSE, and ipod is invisishield.

[peeInMyPantz]

got my BSE last night.. applied it...
not smooth at all.... is bodyguardz smoother than BSE ?
i find BSE a bit sticky, cannot slide smoothly.. and lots of friction..
cannot even fit it into my charging dock now due to the friction..
and i cannot fit it into my handphone sleeve as well... it used to fit just nice.. now i can't. too much friction. so disappointed

now i need to think about getting a new hp sleeve.. but i dunno whatever i order will still be big enough to fit it.

[Michael415]

Ooops forgot to post the pics of the Invisishield on my ipod. Here they are. Least it gives you an idea of all three products. IMHO smoothest to roughest is bodygardz -->Invisi --> BSE

[s2k]

Good thing i ordered bodyguardz ftw

[theguyz]

BSE are good, but installation is somewhat not for a newbie, spent over 1 hour installing and still not happy with my results. Its a strong durable skin, but my mistake for playing with and adjusting and adjusting while soap dried.

I have the crystal film set from the Apple Store. DEFINITLY reccomend it, don't even notice its there and doesn't lose style or functionality.

Just wondering, is there actually any advantage of a screen protector? I mean, the iPhone screen is near invincible to scratches... and screen protectors can't pretect it from impact anyway. A cheap screen protector would probably scratch more easily than the iphone screen itself. The only thing I can think off is protecting it from spills but besides that I can't think of anything else...

By the way, I tested the screen myself by running a craft knife blade down the screen and it didn't scratch in any way... (just to see if the claims are true )

Sure there is an advantage to having a screen protector, or in the case of this thread a full body skin. Although the apple screen is very durable, there is always an event that exceed that durability. There have been many cases where earings or some other event have damaged the screen. Besides, a little extra protection cant hurt. Whats a few bucks for extra protection when you've already droped 400+ for your iphone...
