A Second Chance for Zagg’s InvisibleSHIELD
This is my second attempt at installing Zagg’s InvisibleSHIELD iPod skin. My first attempt ended in frustration and a really terrible looking film on my iPod Touch. After reading my post of hatred towards the InvisibleSHIELD, Zagg’s swift customer service left a comment on my blog with some tips and an offer for another chance.
Applying the film a second time, here we go. I started the process by reviewing all of the directions and the tips the customer service had given me. I didn’t feel any better than the first time, but at least I knew what I had to do and more importantly, what not to do. I started with the screen film and soaked everything down with the provided liquid solution. The first time I did this I was conservative with the spray and when the film was in contact with the device, it stuck. When the film is soaked it is easier to position and gives room for mistakes.
Tip #1: The provided spray is your best friend, use it and use it a lot.
Applying the back was the most difficult part and the part that made me the most nervous. Not only do you have to worry about air pockets, you also have to worry about positioning it correctly. Spraying the back heavily fixed much of the problems I had before and squeegeeing was much easier. I found that applying the film at one end and then slowly applying it to another got rid of most of the air pockets.
Tip #2: Apply the film at one end of the device and then slowly apply to the other end.
Once everything has been applied, leave it. It may look like you made a mistake, but you’d be surprised a couple of hours of drying will do. Any air pockets that you weren’t able to remove will be almost unnoticeable.
Tip #3: Let it dry.
Having a second time with the InvisibleSHIELD, I’m happy to say I recommend it. It can be frustrating the first time you apply it, but with the tips above and on the package you should be fine. If you do have a problem feel free to contact Zagg’s customer service, they’re great!
