so easy even I could put it on.
so my invisible shield arived bang on time, as all my orders from mobile fun have.
straightforward instructions led to straightforward installation, it really was that simple. And anyone who has problems really need to reconsider their day jobs!
a great product and that's coming from someone who has been a fan of A N Other's screen protectors. I will be buying one of these again, if I need to, so far it seems to be fairly bulletproof.
5 stars no worries.

Wont be buying this for my next handset
The first problem was the backing paper stuck to the product which means I have tiny bits stuck under the screen covering, and have tiny bits of corner which will NOT adhere and are now sticking up and pulling away already! My phone now just looks a shiny tacky mess!
I am seriously considering stripping it all off and putting it down to experience.

Great service - Great cover
Fantastic service from Mobilefun, the cover arrived very quickly.
Applying the full body protector was straightforward, although the sides and ends were a little fiddly. Perseverance needed.
To those who may be disappointed to find air bubbles/blemishes immediately after application, fear not. When they say the bubbles will disappear, they mean it.
A few weeks on, perfect coverage of the handset, and not a bubble to be seen. Great protection for the phone, and I recommend it.

Waste of money
I really didn't like this product - the finish is poor, it is just a fancy expensive screen cover as far as I can tell. Really wouldn't bother ... no protection really!!
I'm going to get a proper case.

Great Protection for HTC
The shield was a little fiddly to put on the phone but it gives great protection as well as not effecting the sensitivity of the screen. In fact it does not smudge like the screen of the phone and makes it look good!

HTC Full body protector
I've only put the front an back on the phone as the edge parts won't stay on. However, the film is excellent. It adds virtually no width to the phone and although I've only had the protector on for a week or two it is holding up very well.

Very fiddly to apply
As other reviewers have mentioned, this product is quite difficult to apply and comes in too many pieces. I wish I had been more diligent in reading those reviews before I bought this item, as I would probably have chosen something else! I managed to get the front and back pieces on ok, although one of corners on the back will not stick down properly. I had to do some extra trimming of the from piece to get rid of an edge that wouldn't stick. It now looks ok and is doing the job I bought it for; i.e. protecting the screen. I thought the protector had got scuffed but found that the marks were easy to wash off. I like the feel of the protector and the extra friction on the screen makes for more accurate usage. Overall, ok but something with less pieces and not so fiddly to apply would have been better for me.

GOOD IDEA NEEDS BETTER QUALITY
Great idea that seems to work, but after following the instructions religiously I still ended up with fingerprints on the underside of the membrane because the sheet when lifted from its backing was not properly pressed out and was still attached to the other parts, causing my fingers to dry out before I could release it and apply to my phone. It is not cheap and should have better quality control.

The product is excellent and I'm really happy with the result, but the spray that came had leaked so I didn't have enough to complete all the sides/covers. luckily, I had been recommended the product by a friend who had a some spare.

I like this InvisibleShield.
Does what it says on the tin...or box. The fitting wasn't as difficult as it seemed from reading the instructions althought I did the back of the phone first in case I made a mess of it. Quite easy to put on and only took about 10 mins.
It is tough and durable which is important for a phone with such a big screen and stays clean and scratch free.
A great way of keeping an expensive phone safe.

Slightly disappointing..
I thought this would somehow be in less pieces. Applying the gel cuts is easy but not enough liquid supplied considering they want you to to put the liquid on your fingers to stop fingerprints. Skin has been on my phone for just over a week and some corners are starting to lift and they do lose their sticky once lifted which means they wont stick back down. The back and screen isnt lifting (which is the most important part). So its doing its job, but slight disappointed. 3/5

Nice
+ durable, no visible markings left on the shield (other shields became scratched over time)
+ air bubbles left between the shield and phone were magically gone after a couple of days
- the shield is sticky; provides nice grip but is annoying when touching the screen and trying to zoom in / out
- collects lint for couple of weeks after which the edges of shield appear mildly fuzzy, definately not a problem as the lint is somewhat difficult to see
- the shield on the sides of the phone came off. This was because as inserted the phone in pocket the edges of the shield would snag the cloth and eventually come loose
All in all a nice protector for your Desire.

It went on OK, although a bit fiddly. Not sure why you need bits for side and back and have left off. Would have preferred a second screen protector for when the first is scuffed. Works as good as original screen

Invisiable shield on HTC Desire
i reveiwed this plenty before buying so was ready for the struggle to put it on my HTC Desire.If fact its not that bad. the front and back are easy but you do need to take your time for the other small bits. Yes you need to have fingers and palms wet but once you start it is easy to move around or even take of and reapply. i have a tiny section about 3mm that wont stick but thats due to the curve on the top right and it overlapping(my fault with other sections .so be careful) but trimmed this back with a craft knife . The shield once on is fantastic and still fits into my car holder and leather pouch easily enough. i have already recommended this product through this site as yet again the communication and delivery is the best i ever had. A fabulous product from a fabulous company.

Fiiddly, but good end result
It took quite a while to get all the little peices on the phone. The screen and back large parts where easy. But the bits aound the buttons sides and top where more dificult. Liquid remained around the HTC logo on the back for a few days, but as they said, it disappeared after a while. The extra grip makes the shield dificult to remove from a belt clip. My one grip is that, if it is dropped, it will not protect the top edge properly. But overall its a great way to protect the phone, that in a year or two, will be on ebay. Oh and yes you can still remove the back cover without affecting the shield coverage.

InvisibleSHIELD Full Body Protector - HTC Desire
After reading other reviews I start order this. Removing the back of the film was a drama. I wish they could find a solution for this to peel off the back of the film. Follow the instruction I was worried to see that after 2 days the film still has some blure but after that, it was gone. I only use the front film side for the moment. Yes it does what it has to do. Fast shipping thanks guys all the way overseas (netherlands).

Read the instructions carefully. A bit fiddly to put on. Needs 12 - 24 hours to stick properly and you can't use the phone in this time. Worth the effort. Very tough and looks good. Adds negligible girth to phone. Recommended +++

Invisible Shield for HTC Desire
Bought this Zagg product for my smartphone to protect it from everyday scratches. It covers the front and back of the device, it will also do the edges but I didn't have the patience for that. Fantastic product, hardly know its there, would recommend it to anyone who wants to keep their phone, or gadget looking pristine.

Fantastic
This is the best case/skin I've ever used. It is a bit fiddly to apply and I was left with two small bubbles on the screen area. Now after 4 days they have disapeared. Well worth the money. One tip - be liberal with the application solution & don't forget to wet your fingers.

I actually thought the full body shield was a kind of pocket to squeeze the phone into. It's not, it's a bunch of patches. My bad. I threw out all the patches except the one for the screen, but that one really works well! Of course it's not all invisible, but close enough, and really tough. I'm sure I've seen the last of scratches on my HTC Desire.

Okay product
I've now had this product for 3 weeks and am glad I got it because it gives me peace of mind. On the other hand as a product it could do better. It is quite difficult to get the protector onto the phone. Also I found that it is not completely bubble free. Nevertheless my product is scratch free - so in that respect it does the job.

Bit fiddly but worth the effort
Application is fiddly, but if you take your time and persevere the results are pretty good. Mine aren't perfect, but the flexi-shield I put on it AS WELL hides most of the imperfections ;) Don't worry about the application fluid ... yes, it DOES look a bit of a mess when you first apply a piece of the shield, but it WILL come out after a few hours/days, as will most of the micro-air-bubbles (and that will probably make a lot more sense after you've read the instructions).

Big bits good, small bits bad...
Unless you have a lot of patience and a nimble touch then I'd just stick to using the large parts (front and back). Putting the ends and sides on can be very tricky for someone with large fingers like me. I thought the protector was like a wrap around but it's not, it comes in a die cut sheet of 7 pieces to fit in palce (front*, back*, top, bottom, left side, right side and lower front button cover), only two of which I managed (the ones with a *). Disappointing considering InvisibleSHIELD's reputation especially for the price.

Not perfect, but good value for peace of mind
As has been said, this is a difficult item to install. I'm meticulous, have steady hands and dedicated an hour to doing this, and it still gave me problems. Firstly, the sponge sheds black bits, so keep it away from the screen cover. Once you have dust on the covers, it doesn't come off easily (if at all) so be careful! There were some imperfections in the screen cover too, which is a shame. Once on the case is on and dried it conforms better to the curves of the HTC Desire, but it's not perfect. It makes the case look quite shiny, which is a shame for what was a nice matte finish. The screen is still responsive. It does offer great coverage, and if you want to preserve your resale value it's the best thing I've seen for the job. You couldn't want more than a lifetime warranty either. I think if I get good insurance I'd actually take off the case just because the phone looks and feels nicer without it.

A bit to pricey...
It was not as hard to fit as some of the reviews here suggest. Front was really simple and the back took a bit of patience, but it wasn't exactly rocket science.
I'm not so sure about the feel on it, and it's not perfectly cut out either (small glitches all the way around the screen and on the back).
Another big problem is the sponge that litterally falls to pieces, giving you black spots on the protector. A tip to avoid that is having a bowl of water next to you and just drop the shield into there.
Overall I think it's a pretty decent product, but for it's price it should've been alot better.

Not great at all
This product is quite poor. The invisible shield comes in 6 different parts with the sections for the sides and top completely useless. Anywhere the phone bends, the cover will not stick. The screen shield and back shield are quite good but don't expect them to be bubble free. I think I'll end up peeling them back off within a fortnight.
Not worth the money.... just buy some of the cheaper screen shields and then at least you have spares to swap with when they start to get a bit grubby.
On the plus side, the touch screen functionality is just as good with the shield applied.

Overall not a great product
Yes this product is really hard to put on correctly, I found that the best way is to use the supplied card to push out the air bubbles as you go along, if you get even a tiny bubble go back a bit, because they dont come out afterwards. Also if you try to push the bubbles out afterwards as the instructions state then the bubbles just get stuck and the card nicks them and leaves marks on the protector
However the reason it really gets 2 stars is that the body shield looks rubbish and gives a poor feel to the phone. It gives a shiny look to the phone which ruins the phones original good looks. The second reason it gets 2 stars it the actual screen protector really does not feel great when its on. It makes the screen feel sticky and hard to run your fingers along (for scrolling etc). It is also ridiculously easy to get dust in whilst putting it on, but I guess that is the same for all screen protectors. I really think they should supply 2 per box so you can learn from the first one and use the experience to put the second one on correctly

Fantastic piece of kit
I have always had phones with no protectors and suffered the consequences. A friend recommended this product based only on what he had heard and the £16 price tag was putting me off. Given that I had just taken delivery of the fantastic HTC i decided the investment was worthwhile to look after the phone - no matter how good phones are, if they look like junk then I don't think much of them.
The product arrived quickly but is split into different pieces, the front and rear covers are substantial in their size however there are 4 smaller "piecey" parts whcih don't offer full and complete protection. I found this the only disappointment as there will perhaps be small marks on some of the very small areas left uncovered but I'm realistic in guessing that complete covering of the entire phone is pretty much impossible.
Watch the video, apply as advised, leave for 24 hours and wow - what a slick durable surface. All of the air bubbles have gone and I am so impressed with the finish, it would take an aggressive slash to upset the phone now and it's £16 well spent.
Would totally recommend, fitting is not a problem with a teeny bit of patience and just following the instructions. I don't know what other people/muppets are doing to get it wrong, just follow the instructions!!!!!!!!!!

Hard to apply
It takes a while to apply. Not the easiest of products to use, but take your time, and apply with plenty of overhead light, and you can get a fairly decent application.
Touchscreen performance is perfect, no problems with any gestures.

Simply Amazing
I've put screen protectors on my last 2 phones but i've usually removed them a few days later, so I was really sceptical about the InvisibleSHIELD. Well I happy to be totally blown away by this one. This material is simply incredible. When I installed it (Which was actually pretty easy), it didn't initially look so great and there were tiny bubbles everywhere. However, I decided to wait the 24hrs as per the instructions and the results are amazing. All the bubbles have vanished and the phone actually looks stunning with its new shiny protective coat.
The only small niggle I have is there a couple of small spots on the screen protector where its acting like a tiny micro lens and you get a slight mottling of the image, but its actually better than the fingerprint marks i was getting before installing the protector.
Amazing how it sticks to the phone, even something with curvy edges like the Desire. I totally recommend it for the Desire or any other gadget for that matter.

In two minds
Difficult one to be honest.
It is a bit fiddly to fit - but as commented by others worth taking your time over etc. I managed to get a little spot of something under the main panel - so I suppose at least I will know my Desire if they ever hit the ground as I bump into some gorgoes tall honey in the street :)
Seriously though:
- Yes it is invisible
- yes it does seem to offer great protection
- I did manage to mark the covering using the installation card supplied!!!!
So why am I in two minds? I'm not sure whether I like the feeling of the plastic in my hand or not. Obviously this is a personal preference and is infinitely more desirable than a scratched phone.
In Summary - yes good protection and not that difficult to fit. Whether or not you like the feel of it? - it's you decision.

Poor
I recently got a htc desire and thought i want to protect this phone with something good! I then came accross this and thought it was a bit pricy but the reviews seemed good! When trying to install this without any dust, bubbles or excess liquid i got so frustrated after about the 3rd time of trying i finally gave up (nearlly threw my new phone out the window) and put on a 99p screen protector from ebay. It took around 30 seconds to put on and it may not be as long lasting at this but it works and you can buy 16 of them for one of these... Personally i wouldn't bother!

Fiddly....? You \'Aint Kiddin\'!
Three hours this took me to put on, and it still didn't look right! I meticulously read the instructions and watched instructional videos and still it peeled of, bubbled and pushed my sanity to the brink. I left my attempt to 'cure' for the required time, and although the successful bits did begin to look something like 'invisible', the side bits still peeled off and there were still small bubbles on the screen. I can see by previous reviews that others had some success, perhaps they were more patient than me. I had to send it back in the end though. The bits that did go on properly saved this product from only one star.

Not so easy
I found this to be a very difficult product to put on. I read the instructions carefully, watched the youtube vid, but failed miserably. Previous screen protectors I've used have been fine. For this you need patience, steady hands, perfect eye sight and a dust free environment.

Was a bit sceptical at first, even more so when I saw a couple of sheets of stickers in a box! But I have to say that this item is fantastic.Try it, take your time in putting it on and you will be amazed at what a professional job you can do. Looks superb on, and actually enhances the Desire.
