Last night I suited up my iPhone with the protective shield product by ZAGG.  I was convinced to buy it from a friend and got it for 30% off online during their sale.  I honestly do not think it is worth the full price.  Here are my thoughts:

Price:  Get it 30% off or do not buy it – you can buy a simple case in it place

Installation:  Not too difficult.  I read the instructions and applied as directed.  A couple of tips:

  • spray your hands liberally (both hands)
  • watch out for getting your finger print on the adhesive
  • peel off the non-stick piece and not the clear piece of plastic
  • Have a high powered light within a few feet to find any bumps / air bubbles
  • Push the bubbles from the inside out

Cons:  Applying the back was a bear.  The corner pieces are very difficult to set properly.  I nearly cut them off and may do that if they become loose.

I will post any updates on the product as they come to mind.

Best,

James DeLuccia

btw – my ATV / PLEX vs WD TV vs XBOX XBMC debate is firming up and I will post the final results of my research and tests – thanks to everyone for their tips!
