There is no doubt that one of the fundamental appeals of Apple’s product is the appearance. There’s a sleekness and beauty to them that’s just sexy. If you’re an Apple fan, there’s no denying that this is one of the many draws. So why cover all that up with a bulky case?
I recently replaced my first generation iPod touch with a shiny new second gen. I figured if I was upgrading to the new hotness (ok, I know it’s not that new anymore). I figured, “why not show it off?” So I ditched my old leather flip case and went with the Invisible Shield from Zagg.
What?! You didn’t think I was crazy enough to leave my awesome, and expensive, iPod touch unprotected did you? Heck no! The Invisible Shield pretty much makes it scratch proof, which is what I worried about with keys and stuff going in the same pockets as my touch. I’d seen it on a couple of our demo iPod and so I knew it was going to do the trick. When you actually see it on a device it’s immediately apparent how strong it is. It also comes with a lifetime guarantee so if it does get damaged, Zagg will replace it. The shield not the iPod. That will still be unharmed.
The other key thing about the Invisible Shield is, you guessed it, it’s invisible! Or at least close enough. No, seriously. I was amazed that after putting it on, the back especially still has all of it’s beautiful shine. From any kind of distance you really can’t tell there’s anything on it. So jealous admirers will be able to get a nice full view of my sexy gadget.
Putting it on is a little bit of a project. Definitely not the sort of thing you just toss on at the checkout counter. The directions are detailed but not as daunting as they look. It’s all just a part of Zagg’s obvious desire to give you a quality product and help ensure you have quality results, something you don’t see a lot of anymore. Also, for the truly intimidated, there’s lots of helpful videos on YouTube of people putting them on. All in all it took me about 10 minutes with a while longer of just gently rubbing the shield into place, though I probably didn’t need to give it that much attention.
So if you really want to be able to continually appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of your iPhone or iPod and not clunk it up with an overly large case, definitely check out the Invisible Shield by Zagg.
