I attempted to trim the edges with a very sharp pen knife. The cut of the product varies from poor to worse than poor. In the past the installation kits had a mist spray bottle. Customer service was even worse than the product design.
Now kits come with sponges that do not allow a thin even coating of the product for installation. I have several ZAGG Invisible Shield products for various devices. The product stretched and tore. All in all, the experience was much more frustrating than humorous. The worst fit was with ZAGG's Invisible Shield for the Nikon D300.
I was able to cut the larger back screen to fit using scissors while the product was still on its backing. After over half of a dozen tries with ZAGG products, I am giving up. The fine mist could be used to get an even coating of the product for installation. The responses from ZAGG customer service showed less intelligence with each successive correspondence. Neither of the two pieces was cut to the curve of the LCD screens.
The product hung off the edges of the top screen and looked terrible. I did get a few chuckles while reading an E-mail asking for information that was in a previous sentence they wrote. I will not purchase any additional products from ZAGG.
When I unwrapped the next morning I had a beautifully, nearly hermetically sealed unit. The Invisible shield does exactly what it says it does, *if you apply it correctly*.If you were (or are) good at putting decals on models (wet them, wait till the right moment, and apply and smooth quickly) you will love this product. If you got the skillz, I highly recommend. No it does not cover 100% of the Ipod, and it provides only minimal impact protection, but it does cover about 97% of the unit (make sure you get the right one, 1G, 2G, etc) and provides an excellent scratch resistance. One tip, to seal the corners and edges, I applied the front (easiest part), then after applying the back, I placed a paper towel folded like 4 times on the front to fit, then tightly wrapped in clinging plastic wrap and let sit overnight to cure. If not, consider yourself cautioned, and please don't post a "I couldn't make it work after 3 hours and 2 quarts of squirting" kind of review. :).
I love how this product works. protects my ipod from scratches and its been on over a year and i still have no problems
Does require some patience when installing. If you read the instructions, take your time, and don't freak out you will be fine. Had no issues with stretching or removing.
Plenty of spray left over. Lastly, if that doesn't work, use a hair dryer on cool setting and it will speed up the process and allow the corners to stick. If you read instructions and watch video you will be fine.
As for those tough corners.just wait 5-10 minutes and allow solution to dissolve and you will be fine (as stated in instructions). Fit just right. Even removed back piece multiple times to get it just right.
After sitting for 12 hours I repressed all those areas that had too much solution and all the air pockets disappeared. It's just what I expected and preserves the natural look and enhances the feel of the itouch.
The product come without the liquid.I try to change this, but because Im in another country I can't, totally useless product in this condition.
