ZAGG's invisibleSHIELD + X10 + review

Hi!
I got my hands on ZAGG's invisibleSHIELD for X10, it's on the way thru delivery.
I saw their videos, and it's seem hype.
Anyone have personal experience with this product?
Also, right now, I have a rubber-not-so-tight-fit casing for the X10, but I want to get one that has tight-fit, real tight fit rubber casing to put on after the invisible shield? Recommendations?
Something in the lines that matches with iSkin, that the have for the "not so hype" iPhone...

If you go up a level to the Sony Xperia X10 menu page and have a look in the accessories subsection there is a lot of info on cases and screen protectors etc which might be helpful to you.

I bought Zagg's full body invisible shield before for my SE Satio. They were difficult to apply. Also, the screen responsivenss was better on the stock screen protector. You dont really need to replace it if yours came with one. The Zagg screen protector feels sticky to the touch. Not so good on a capacitive screen

Zagg's invisibleshield is horrible. My buddy got one for his x10, and I applied it. Every piece was not cut precise except the back cover. The front screen protector wasn't even cut straight. The left and right borders were tapered in the middle leaving about 2mm of space, on each side, between the border and the screen protector.
From my own experience with the product on my x1, the full body shield turns yellow and traps tons of dirt at the edges. It just looks cheap over time.

Backcover? People actually _like_ having slippery backs? Imo the stock coating is optimal since it's very grippable, it's rugged and it doesn't gather any fingerprints.

Well, I was just stating a fact that it does come with a back shield, and it's the best cut piece of the set. While I do like the bare back feel of the x10, the option is there for people to use it or not use it.

I got myself a Martin Fields screen protector. Applied it today. So far really loving it. Will review it soon.
InvisibleSHIELD is also supposed to be real good, but a pain to apply correctly.

I had the same experience with my Zagg sheild. Tappered sides and what not. Anyway I am not a fan. What I would like to know is if there is similiar screen shields to the ones for the iphone?? They have almost the texture of a sheet of paper, never streak and seem to provide excellent responsiveness. Im not sure of the different types of protectors but if someone knows of one like this let me know!
Also the Zagg shield on the back of the X10 is actually pretty sweet......its not slippery. In fact its the exact opposite. You can set the thing down on the dash of the car while charging and it will not slide around at all. But hey, if thats worth $20 then have at it.

Not bad...
I have the invisibleSHIELD for my X10 and it's not to shab... but not too good...
As with one of the posts above, the front screen protector was not cut to fit properly; there is a gap on my screen about 1/4" on the right side, however the left side is flush. I emailed Zagg about it and they have sent me a new one and apologized that the case was damaged during shipping (although it was very clearly NOT damaged during shipping, it was just cut that way).
The rest of the case fits snug, but it does get dirty/sticky on the edges. I will be getting another case to put over it; likely the FlexiShield.
I personally like the feel of the screen protector more than the stock protector. I have both of them on right now and have no issues with the touchscreen whatsoever. The Zagg shield never fingerprints, but it would with the stock protector.
Overall, I would give the invisibleSHIELD a 7 out of 10. If I was rating the screen protector alone I would give it 8 out of 10 (points dinged for the improper fit, hopefully the replacement sits flush).
If you are like me and want a mint looking phone you might get a little frustrated by the scummy edges, however the material is strong and you will definitely not scratch anything. I recommend doing away with the full body case and just getting the screen cover in combination with another case!
Cheers!
Update: Received the replacement but the screen protector is even more tapered on the edges than my original. I've scrapped the shield and went with a plastic fitted case. Too bad, I really like the quality of the material. I'm going to try and get a refund.

Wow! Judging by the reviews, I am not glad that I went for MF instead of ZAGG.

I got protech which is essentially the same thing and I have to say its pretty good. I've used invisible sheiks in the past on a g1 and found it was easier to apply to the x10. You have to be really patient though if you leave the smallest air bubble on the edge as previously mentioned dirt and dust gets trapped underneath and starts to peel.

I have full body Zagg ... it sux.
The size of the front part is not right so i have about 2mm on edges which are not covered.
The top, bottom and side parts are already gone.
The back part is still there ... for now.
I have a gadget shieldz full body.
I'll try it in about 2 weeks when the zagg will be gone.
Zagg lasted about 3 months.

I have the Martin Fields one bought from Mobile Fun. It is the biggest fingerprint magnet in the history of phones. I bought the double pack thinking I'd have a spare as back up. The actual screen applies beautifully but it has lifted in the top right hand corner near the proximity sensor. I managed to reapply it without taking it off totally but its still not perfect.
I want the same shield we bought for hubby's Iphone. Its a matt anti reflective one and shows no finger marks. I spend my life cleaning smudgy prints off mine.

To clear out what others said and my experience with zagg shield,
It all comes to how accurate are you when attaching it.
But if you want some advice, just put the back part only. The stock screen protector is much better, the side parts are too hard to put on.
and take care They are very stretchable. ..

I agree, the Zagg screen protector makes the screen slightly sticky or something. Makes it hard to drag things across the screen like when moving cards in Solitaire etc. I'm on the lookout for a good screen protector now, wish i never removed the stock one!
I actually like the feel and look of the back protector and yes, the side and bottom protectors are a bit too finicky and strechy for clumsy people like me to put on properly!

Painfull Installation - Happy Though!
Hey!
So, I finally had time over the weekend to apply the invisibleShield to my X10, the full-body, "maximum protection" version.
Just let me tell you:
(1) Painfull process - took nearly 2 hours from start to finish, minus break / re-doing time because i wasn't completely satisfied.
(2) Not enough solution - the spray bottle they gave is enough for 1 time installation only! No room for mistakes. Found out the solution was Johnson's brand baby shampoo & distilled water (I didn't have any distilled water, instead, used a new bottle water from Nestle brand) ... worked like a charm
(3) sizing - oh man! the sizing of the invisible shield is not perfect, except for the back piece ... front has gaps, 1/2mm or less on either side.
(4) Applying ... it took me about 3 times to get it right, fitted accordingly. That's how I ran out of the solutions.
(5) Squeeze is not good on small pieces, better to use a q-tip to slide thru the solutions off.
Overrall, it's a different feeling. Getting used to it.
Only thing I would ask ZAGG to do is: PROVIDE A BOTTLE WATER size of solution!!!! & correct sizing of the pieces.
- Just 1 or 2 mini bubbles seen just by me, otherwise, it's a charm!
Still, I got my hands on a iPhone 4 32GB as well, kit for that is coming soon. Should be easier ...
I wish they had Otter Box style casing for X10.

tell us about fingerprint and screen clarity ...

Clarity is ok.
Fingerprints ... way better than the original but still not good enough ...
Just don't drop sun protection lotion on your phone
You will need another invisible shield ...

Fingerprint is not there, or atleast, very much of it is reduced. I am a clean freak, so, I clean it everyday before putting it to charge for the night.
Senstivity was something to get used to, little bit off in the beginning, but after the curing process of the invisibleshield, it works like a charm.
Anyways, I contacted ZAGG, they are sending me another full kit for the X10, since I complained about the sizing & not enough solutions ...
I have to wait for approx 1.5 weeks to receive, remove the old/existing one, and do it correct the 2nd time around.
Of course, i need to send back the one I have right now when I receive the other one...
I'll post a message on how my 2nd attempt went, (with extra bottle of solution, yeah! that's right! I demanded to the agent on the email for 2nd bottle of solution)...either way, baby shampoo & distilled water is good enough too.
Screen Clarity - 100% or 99.99% , unless you angle the phone differently in the light or reflection , you dont see it.

I had the full body but took it off.
I bought the white X10 in dubai, like everyone else said fitted poorly and bleeds the colours from your case, I had to take it off as everyone was saying how battered the phone looked after a month.
It is pretty bullet-proof though, sure it must look better on the black phone!

Stealth Shieldz (clear plastic protector) Review

I purchased this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170637611939&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
This is the first time I bought a full body plastic shield for my device. The quality is medicore. It fits well, and application isnt too hard, but the plastic pits pretty easily or scuffs or something, because it came with two of them and once applied, there's a pit or two here or there from the plastic deforming, which is really not attractive on your screen. Never had this issue with other screen protectors before.
The holes on the backside are in the right positions for all the inputs.
Anyway, it cost $15.99 for two sets, and unfortunately I used both sets just to get it to work, and I still have defects on the screen side. I can live with it for now, but it's not pretty.
I'll post pics later.

E-Ink screen scratches

Only had my YD206 for 2 days, and the rear screen got some bad looking scratches. Was in my pocket with only a very small (thumb size) aerosol dispenser which apart from a smooth rounded edge body has a plastic cap with so-so sharp top edges. Anyway, it left a couple of deep looking scratches that won't rub away.
I wish I had taken some pics before I started, so your just have to believe me:
I very carefully (and with my heart in my mouth) applied a tiny amount of toothpaste with my finger to the deepest scratch near the top of the screen. I used circular motions with my finger for about 15 seconds and then another 15 seconds with a kitchen towel. I then cleaned it off with a little water and a clean kitchen towel. Once dry I could barely see the original marks so I repeated it on a longer scratch/scuff on the middle of the screen. The marks which were very obvious to any casual user are now almost invisible.
However, I've observed that if a put a water drop on an area of the screen that I didn't use the toothpaste on, the droplet beads and will roll off if you tilt the device. If I put a droplet on a treated area it disperses and leaves a dark wet patch. This will disappear if the you dry it completely.
This leaves me to belief that the so called Gorilla Glass 3 (advertised as on the rear screen too) is not so, but is a cheap liquid glass coating which I have just rubbed off.
I have since ordered some liquid glass protector from Amazon (Crystalusion Liquid Glass - product no: B0094EETOG), maybe that will stay on and offer some protection. I don't really want to put a film protector on the back, it would spoil the look and feel. I will post the results.
I was just wondering whether I should rub the whole of the rear display with toothpaste to prime it for the liquid glass. Any thoughts?

Interesting observation. Have any one applied a tempered glass to the back e-ink screen?

I agree, on the Chinese phones, both screens are made from cheap glass, easily scratches and cracks. Curved gorilla glass must cost a lot!
It makes me wonder about the battery and other internal electronics too.
Great idea about the toothpaste.
I ordered a film for the EPD display.

Why are you saying so? YD206 should just differ in LTE bands, the phone is the same.
By the way which film for EPD display you ordered? I want to try the one described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/yotaphone-one/accessories/screen-protector-t3097978/page1
But I can't find it anymore.

I am saying phones from Chinese retailers all seem to have components that differ in quality from the old yotaphones assembled in Singapore. I have only a yd206 but I imagine Yd201 is the same. Real Gorilla glass does not scratch and break so easily.

I very carefully (and with my heart in my mouth) applied a tiny amount of toothpaste with my finger to the deepest scratch near the top of the screen. I used circular motions with my finger for about 15 seconds and then another 15 seconds with a kitchen towel. I then cleaned it off with a little water and a clean kitchen towel.

You can do the same with scrached watchs, but for better result some great product exists , like polywatch (and it's cheat, about 5$ for a tube)

Thanks for heads up on polywatch, that looks very interesting so I might get some. After using the toothpaste the other day, I bought another brand (Arm & Hammer) and was conscious that it was more gritty than the stuff I used on the phone (Colgate). I wouldn't have liked to use that on the rear screen.
To add to the Gorilla glass comments, if you go to the corning_dot_com web site they list the manufacturers that are licensed/authorized to use it. Yotaphone are not listed unless or course the phones are built by one of the listed suppliers. Of course that would suggest that the Russian built phones don't use Gorilla glass either - Any comments from Yotaphone on this (if your listening of course)?

I managed to drop my YD206 in my garage. Tried to catch it mid-air but failed miserably so things got worse by spinning like crazy before hitting on the rough concrete. the phone flipped a few times on the concrete for 40-50cm before coming to rest on the front screen.
Bad news are: Back glass is shattered at the lower right "corner" where the first impact seemed to be.
Good news are: Front screen and frame don't have a single, not even tiny scratch! Even though it flipped like crazy and i saw dusty and dirty hit spots where the front screen hit the edgy concrete. EPD still works 100% and glass fragments seem to hold in place (except for a small edge missing in the corner.) I'm impressed and I bet my front screen would be gone if it wasn't some higher quality glass.

I agree, it's only the curved glass that is a cheap fake version. Front glass scratches easily but seems tough.

Finally got the Crystalusion and applied it. I didn't bother to prime the rest of the phone like I said I might and I didn't need too.
Now the phone surface beads water drops and the areas I rubbed down don't absorb water like they did before.
Whether or not the surface will be protected by the coating I don't know. It doesn't feel any different, so only time will tell if it resists scratching and abrasion.
If I remember I will revisit this thread say 4 or 6 months in the future and report back.

I applied a film to the EPD back of mine, I used the supplied wet and dry wipes but there were still a few bubbles. It was extremely difficult to get rid of the bubbles, some remained.
The EPD touch screen works fine still, the phone looks almost as good as before. The film did not stick as well on curved sides as on front, but ok.
But, as someone has already written, the clarity of the screen has improved greatly, there is no more "matte" appearance (due to removal of the cheap coating). It looks like a transparent plain glass screen now. In short the EPD looks much clearer. I love EPD screen now and I am using it much more, well, ALWAYS, in fact. 11 hours battery.
The Yotaphone 2 phones bought from China EPD have NO gorilla glass is my conclusion, I agree with apludgate, just this cheap coating. The huge drop in price of the yotaphone in 2015/16 begins to become clearer, but I am very pleased to have had the chance to buy a Yotaphone. It would be interesting to know the REAL technical differences of the Chinese and Russian phone specs.
Now just awaiting next drop of phone of course

Where have you found back screen film? And how manage to use it even if the film doesn't stick on curved sides? It sould peel off eventually...
I also would like to see if the clarity improves, and what are the cons of not having the standard coating anymore.

I found glass and film on aliexpress (of course), only 3-4 usd for a set of 2 pieces.
It sticks, but not so well on curved sides as you can see from the photo. Yes it will peel off eventually.
But the vast improvement in clarity was surprising.
The fake "gorilla" glass, no doubt, offers very little protection, it was just added to make it look like a genuine yotaphone.
I would advise all owners of yotaphones bought in China to buy silicon Bumper and screen protection.

Yeah I have a bumper and a film for the front screen, but I think I'll not buy yours for the problem in photo. As previously said in this thread, I was searching something like the film described HERE but couldn't find any...

Sounds impressive. It looks very clear in the photo.
Does your screen appear matte, like mine did before?

The same one as that one on Aliexpress is 2.20 USD = 1.50 British pounds including free delivery, 5 times cheaper, where the guy in Derby probably buys them from.

Help me choose case

I am looking at a few designs but not sure which ones offer the best protection. Some of my lists are:
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01HHAPIZC/ref=twister_B01MG8YWJ8?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/152202213435?var=451393076924
Was even looking at flip cases
https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B01EHP3STS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
https://www.amazon.ca/KaiTeLin-Asus-Zenfone-ZE552KL-Case/dp/B01KU3NZ58
Altough the problem with flip cases I might have is that once open, they protrude beyond the width of the phone, since the hinge is lined with the back side. So it makes it awkward to hold.
So do you guys have any opinions or experiences with any of these? Are you recommending any other? I'm inclined to get the Nillkin. Looks very similar to the Ringke case, but at almost a 1/3 of the price. My main objective with the cases would be very good corner protection, since if dropped, phones tend to land on the corners and a rised enough lip that it will prevent scratches on the screen when placed face down or scratches on the camera, since it does protrude outwards, when placed on it's back. Only problem with non flip cases is that the screen tends to get scratched as you keep the phone in the pocket.
As a reference, I had the Ionic Guardian case for my Nexus 4 and it protected the device really well. Loved the extra material at corners.
https://www.amazon.ca/Ionic-GUARDIAN-Armor-Nexus-Black/dp/B00A06Z41E

http://www.lazada.co.id/calandiva-s...transaction_id=102652ab51bc113472d447cebc3f52
This case offers really good protection with extra inner fins inside act as shock absorber, even protruding camera is nicely covered. The thing is it tends to get yellowish after some time. If you somehow manage to get the grey one nearby your location, it'll be a decent choice.

I first went with Nillkin sparkle flip cover https://www.nillkin-case.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=4911 . It is functional, the Asus Cover app works fine, it offers decent protection for back and sides but it doesn't cover the upper and lower sides leaving them vulnerable. The material on the back is hard plastic. It is very hard to remove the phone from the case and it even scratched the paint on the upper left corner while doing so. The reasons I abandoned it is because it's not very comfortable to use, you can't hang a call while flip is closed, it's too sparkly in some lighting conditions. The black one is actually a shade of gray and It gets all kinds of marks on it without actually being scratched. The flip is too rigid and it tends to close automatically or refuse to close depending on what you did last. The materials look cheap and it can't even be described as "leather imitation". The leather version looks better though. I still keep it for the sake of diversity but now I'm using http://nillkin.org/smartphones-acce...ssories/nillkin-asus-zenfone-3-ze520kl-nature . It's far more practical and also offers decent protection without making the phone look a lot bulkier. I also installed a Nillkin tempered glass screen protector and I guess that's all the protection I need without sacrificing the aesthetics too much.

[REVIEW] amFilm Ultra Glass Screen Protector

Hello all!
First time posting in a while, so forgive me if I'm a bit rusty. I just got my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ yesterday, and my amFilm Ultra Glass Screen Protector today, so I thought I'd write up a little review. Sorry for no pics, but I was busy installing and trying to keep things dust-free
I've used Whitestone in the past but was disappointed with both my Note 8 and 9 installs, primarily because of the LOCA spiderwebbing on the edges. I figured I'd give another brand a shot, so I went searching here and found the amFilm Ultra Glass Screen Protector. A quick trip over to Amazon, and $40 later (for a full kit including *2* protectors) and here we are!
PACKAGING: The box is nice - wider and flatter than the WS product. It's clean and simple, but professional looking. Plus their website and install video are well done also. Inside the outer box are three smaller boxes. The largest contains the plastic frame, screen protectors, and wipes (I think). The medium size box contains the UV light and the MicroUSB cable. It appears to be identical to the WS product, but I don't know this for a fact, so take that for what it's worth. The smallest box contains the LOCA (2 tubes), extra absorption pads, plastic pin, tabs to place over the speaker, a bubble level, and a weight. Everything you need comes in this kit, including plenty of wet and dry wipes, microfiber cloths, and dust removal stickers. On the packaging is a QR code to go to the install video.
PRODUCT: Everything seems to be on the same quality scale as the WS product, with a few minor changes - 1) there is no LOCA applicator "bridge", you have to aim and dribble the solution by hand, 2) the pin is different - there's no more tilting the entire phone to move the liquid into position - the pin is angled and sets the glass down at an angle, and 3) the "fingerprint" weight (more on this later). Otherwise, if you've done the WS before, this isn't significantly different.
INSTALLATION: **REMINDER** REMOVE the factory plastic screen protector and clean your screen THOROUGHLY before proceeding! I ALMOST forgot, which would have been a disaster! I watched the video twice and didn't see any mention of this, so amFilm, here's a tip for you. Anyway, installation is straightforward -put the little feet on the bottom of the phone to bring it flush with the pins inside, make sure the screen is 100% clean, install the sticker over the speaker, apply the liquid (making sure to absorb any "splatter" before proceeding!), peel the protective film off the glass, place it, and pull the pin. Once the liquid starts to spread, put the weight where the fingerprint sensor is and let it settle and "ooze" for 3-ish minutes. (NOTE - it's hard to locate the fingerprint scanner, so you might want to mark the frame in advance with a Sharpie (another tip for amFilm - marking that plastic with some kind of raised bumps or hash marks might be a good idea, or maybe a film for on top of the glass that marks where to place it - just a thought). After that, it's bake-time under the UV light, then you're done.
RESULTS: I'm very impressed so far. The glass appears to be nice and clear, and I can't even see the little "spots" in the corners others mentioned. I lucked out this time and no dust specs at all. No bubbles, etc. the fingerprint scanner appears to be working fine, although I haven't re-registered anything. It DOES require a little extra "umph" to scan, but that's not a big deal. Part of that could be me getting used to an in-screen scanner. There was minimal over-oozing, and the pre-installed pads absorbed everything fine. Barely needed a wipedown afterward.
FITMENT: There appears to be no flaws in placement using the guide, or in the fitment of the glass. It sits flat, and lines up exactly where it should. The cutout for the front-facing camera is exactly where it should be, and it's not overly-exaggerated in size. The edges leave plenty of room for putting the phone in a case (I've tried 4 so far, all fit without touching the glass edge, so there's no worry about case push on the glue). The bottom edge is just a tad bit short, maybe a 1/16", but that could be allowing for larger cases (I don't use the big bulky ones, so IDK).
OVERALL ASSESSMENT: 4.5/5 Stars - Great product, especially for the price. I'll keep you posted on long-term wear & quality, but for now, I'd say it's a great deal versus the competition.

Great review. I just installed mine yesterday and I've had exactly the same great experience with the product. It really does work well with the fp scanner. I had a terrible time with the S10 plus fp scanner and the Whitestone. Great price as well. I'll buy again for sure.

So did everyone's. There's three or four threads about it already. And that's why the OP said to make sure to removed the factory installed screen protector.

Will this work with the samsung clearview cover ?
and can this protector be easily removed?
thanks

I just picked up a set of the amfilm install went flawless a lot easier than the whitestone I had on my S8 fingerprint worked right of the bat with what I had already registered I think it even sensed it better than the stock protector that came with the phone, well spent $40 bucks on amazon
Forgot to mention it fits perfect with my otterbox case

As for removal, it uses LOCA glue to adhere the screen protector to the phone, so it's not the easiest thing to remove, but will come off with a little effort. You will want to have lots of alcohol wipes handy to clean the screen afterwards. Maybe a few Band-Aids, too

AMfilm doesn't seem to gather dust at the edges like it did with the Whitestone install on my Galaxy Note 9. That's a blessing! I was always cleaning clingy dust away on a daily basis. The edges on this install are clean!

Hey Ray, do you know why? is it because of different density loca glue? I really want to switch to glass protector but hesitant because of dust built up around the edges.

yep. works with every case i got so far. Might have issue with the ones with a front plastic piece though like on some heavy duty cases.
not sure about removal, but ive not had issue with any loca based one so far in the years ive used them.

It must be a difference in the glue, I don't know what else accounts for it. I had really fuzzy edges all the time with WS.

How hard is it if you want to remove the screen protector pls?

I'll add my review...
I applied this to my S20+ yesterday. The steps were clear on paper, but the video was more helpful still.
Everything went fine with the exception that when I opened the adhesive tube it sprayed out a bit even before the top cap was opened, and I suspect this is due to me living at a high altitude. As a result my glue didn't fully spread to the whole screen, but close, and there were many small bubbles in the center of the screen. Next time I might try opening and closing the top first to equilibrate pressure.
That said, this is a promising product. It has a smooth and even finish, remains low profile so my case fits which still wraps the lateral edges, and the fingerprint part works a bit better than with the cheap plastic screen protector that samsung supplied (which also scratched easily).
I've never used screen protectors on prior phones, but this product is nice enough that I'll use it on future phones as well.
Additionally, the customer service was outstanding and they immediately sent me a replacement protector and more adhesive to try again.
Thumbs up so far, I'm confident my next application will be successful.

For those who installed this last year, how has it held up?

Sorry, haven't been on XDA much. I've had my amfilm since Dec, 2019 and it's still like new. Oleophobic coating has not wear off.
