Qusers, the seemingly definitive resource for all things Motorola Q, has posted a comprehensive review of the invisible shield. The shield is a high-quality scratch protector applied to the front and back of the Q. The results are great for those looking into protection for their Q. This is great news as I ordered one for my Q yesterday after being impressed with the quality of the Invisible Shield on my MacBook. However, I must note that if you are looking at getting the MacBook shield, have fun applying it on the top of the lid – it’s near impossible.
Overall I am very impressed with the IS. Assuming the replacement screen protector is as clean and clear as the other pieces I received then the only issue I will have to deal with is working the Q into the charger stand smoothly. The IS is very clear so its easy to see the screen through it. Unlike other screen protectors I have had, I barely notice and fuzziness.

I used Invisible Shield back when I used a Pocket PC. Their very easy to apply and are very durrable. Wow the websites you link to are pretty impressive. I’ll have to start reading them more often.
Application of the IShield takes a bit of time and effort to get a good install. When I applied my the video on the IShield site “Installation by Experts” was not working which would have been nice to see.
When applying IShield to the front of your Nano be careful not to scratch the area inside the circle or better yet, do that first. Trying to apply the rest of the front when you are trying to squeegie all the bubbles out with the scraper tool provided can cause scratching to the area in side the circle.
After finishing my application, the surface looked blotchy and irregular (kind of like a leather surface). The instructions suggested leaving the Nano alone for 24 hours to let the covering set or cure. I did that and the application looked much better 24 hours later. The surface still looks kind of leathery if viewed from an angle but the screen is easily readible.
The plastic material is fairly thick which if you leave the circular surface uncovered, creates a depression that make access to the control circle less comfortable. Also, it adds enough thickness that the IJet I purchase barely accepts the Nano and the clear cover does not close completely.
I have not tried running my keys over the surface or given my Nano to my cat for a toy, but the surface seems to be completely impermiable. If I run my nail along the back, an indentation occurs that fairly quickly dissapears.
As far as keeping your Nano in perfect condition, the IShield does that, but not transparently. So if your the sort of person who likes to keep plastic on your furniture so it will always be like new, this is a great product for you.
