    Default Is it safe to apply shields with new iphone hd lens, flash etc..

    i always used a full body shield on all my previous iphones.

    i wanted to do the same with the new one but got to thinking.....wouldnt it be bad with the new hd lens, and flash camera?? you know how u got to wet the shields to apply at least some water will touch the cam area

    Not any worse than with the other iPhones. Just squeegie away from the camera, and flash. Getting water in my home button and/or ear piece had me way more worried and made extra sure to squeegie most of the water away from them. Just gotta be careful to dry up any water as soon as it comes out from under the protector even water that drips down the side. It doesn't take a whole lot of the solution either.
    Have they released the jailbreak in the app store yet?

    thats true got to just be extra careful i guess...im waiting until this reception issue is fixed before i even think of getting my shield. would be a waste of money as the phone might be replaced. what shield did u get?! im leaning toward bestskins

    I got the zaggs. It was all that was being sold on the 23rd here. At best buy they said they had screen protectors but couldn't sell me one until the 24th so I went to the zaggs kiosk in the mall and got one from them. They will put it on there for $10

    I put a Zagg on my iPhone 4...it might mute the gorgeous display a teeny bit, but I personally like knowing that it's protected--which it seems to be doing well so far.

    i like the fact that it protects the phone. just do not like how the screen protector is tacky. i might replace the screen protector with a power support crystal or anti glare once it comes out.

    Use the alcohol based solution instead of water. It evaporates a whole lot quicker and won't damage any components inside. Water will have a tendency to linger inside if it gets in the cracks of your phone.

    It does not affect the lense whatsoever. I used it and my picture quality is the EXACT same as before. Plus if your so worried just squeegie the solution away from the lense. It is perfectly safe, or else Zagg or Bestskinsever would be out of business if their items did that lol.

    In my experience, every screen protector has SOME effect on how the display looks--even if it's a small one. For me, the zagg doesn't lower the resolution or anything, but it also doesn't take a microscope to see that there's an extra layer of material between your retina and the retina display.

    I just applied a Zagg on the G4 phone a couple of days ago and it takes nothing away from the display. It just looks a little odd when viewed from the side. Like an orange peel or something. I am truly impressed though. I have always been an anti-glare person until I put the Zagg on her G4. I am getting one for my 3GS.
