Re: Has anyone tried the invisibleSHIELD on the freerunner?
Hi there, Did you ever hear any more of this? I also happened to order on the 4th, and have had no sign of my invisibleSHIELD, either. I'll drop them an email - sod's law says it'll arrive immediately afterwards - but it would be nice to read that you have now found them helpful. Stroller.

Re: Has anyone tried the invisibleSHIELD on the freerunner?
Hi, I have installed my (screen only) invisible shield. It is not invisible, but quite ok. Difference in aspect is that it looks less smooth/glossy/slick. (I'm french... I just try not to use too wrong words to describe :-) ) And it also has more grip... slipping finger or stylus is less easy. (a bit like if you try to do it on a rubber eraser) Though it gets better after it has completely dried... but hard to compare since I got used to it... (I need another freerunner !) Oh... something else I noticed : with it, do not use anymore a ballpoint pen ! Ink will stay on the invisible shield. So take care with the multifunction stylus. I could wash out the ink by getting it a little wet and sweeping, but I do not know if it would have been more difficult if I had waited longer and it would have dried more...

Re: Has anyone tried the invisibleSHIELD on the freerunner?
It is quite exactly the visible size of the screen. Very slightly smaller. It is easy to apply : spray it, apply and adjust (it slips), get bubbles away with the tool from the invisible shield pack and let dry... I sprayed quite a lot (too much ?), and water (well the solution in the spray) is then wiped out to the edges. Take it away before it gets into the body and the electronic components. I think I have some really little bubbles at one point (I would need a magnifier to check...). But I really didn't struggle when applying. Manual indicates some micro bubble should go away after 2-3 days. What took me the more time is cleaning my screen before applying. Didn't want to protect dirt and smudges.

I checked before but I do not remember exactly... for something less than about 20$ (€ ?) there should not be custom taxes from the US.

Re: Has anyone tried the invisibleSHIELD on the freerunner?
I assume the general consensus is that the screen only protector is more desirable than then full body one? Is the full body one necessary? I'm worried about it being to rubbery to easily slide into a pocket or something. I'm also worried that the rubbery texture will make the screen too hard to use, but I guess something will be needed to protect the screen. Please let me know you thoughts - especially if you got the full body protector. 2008/7/23 Brian C [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Søren Kristiansen wrote: Hello As the subject says, has anyone tried the invisibleSHIELD on the freerunner?

It barely fits without taking the FR apart, but you can still see the edge s if you look. Also, dust tends to gather around the edges just a little bit.
