Here are some followup pictures of my three day old InvisibleShield install on my Palm Pre (see the original install here). Most of the air bubbles worked their way out, but there’s still one on the right edge that refuses to go away. It gets smaller day by day, so maybe it’ll just take some [...]

In followup to my previous InvisibleSHIELD review, here are some pictures of the Touch Pro with a cured InvisibleSHIELD. Immediately after application: The battery cover doesn’t look half as bad, but the screen looks absolutely hideous with all the air bubbles. However, after about two days, most of the air bubbles had cleared up. After [...]

I ordered an InvisibleSHIELD a week ago and it has finally arrived. Prior to installing the skin, I swapped out my chrome defective phone with a brand new replacement so that I would have a clean phone with no scratches.
