Zagg InvisibleShield has a problem (and they know it)

I have a Zagg InvisibleShield on my iPad. After applying it I noticed a few little lines that look like perfectly straight scratches but I chalked it up to user error. I went ahead and ordered one for my shiny new Samsung Vibrant and then waited over a week for it to arrive. When it finally showed up I immediately installed it and it went on without a hitch (after my iPad installation I was a PRO).
I noticed immediately that the lines were there (a couple of vertical lines from top to bottom) but I went ahead and waited a little while to see if they would go away. They never went away and are particularly irritating on white backgrounds (like web pages). I decided that I couldn't handle it anymore and wrote in for a refund. Here is the reply I got:
Hello Don,
Thank you for contacting ZAGG, where we are zealous about great gadgets! My name is David and I appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
In regards to your e-mail, the nature of the invisibleSHIELD has some limitations and it seems you have located one of the few. There can, at times, be some considerably small lines that may appear like an incredibly fine hair or scratch and this is an unavoidable quality.
If you would like, we can offer you a one time courtesy replacement for your invisibleSHIELD, but we cannot guarantee that it will be free of lines.
To process your replacement request you will be asked to provide a credit or debit card....

It goes on to explain how to get the "courtesy replacement" and how to submit my credit card information so that THEY CAN CHARGE ME FOR SHIPPING! If there's a "limitations" to the product and I have "located one of the few" then they should send it to me for free. These "incredibly fine hair or scratch" lines are not acceptable on a phone where the primary selling point is the awesomely clear and 'vibrant' screen.
They did eventually get around to giving me instructions for how to get the refund so that's the route I will be taking. I have already ordered the Realook screen protector so once that gets here I will be sending the Zagg back to them.
Zagg buyer beware. You might get a good one but they "cannot guarantee that it will be free of lines".

I have Zaggs on nearly all of my devices (13, including my Vibrant) and have never once had this issue. I hope this is isolated to just you, and I don't mean that in a bad way...

It's far from just me. Google 'zagg vertical lines' and you will see that there are many people who have had the same problem.
My Realook just showed up. I ordered on Tuesday received in the mail on Thursday where it took the Zagg 9 days to show up. I took off the Zagg and put on the Realook and the difference couldn't be more "clear". If I handed someone my phone and asked if there is a screen protector on it they would say "no" (definitely not the case with the Zagg). It looks and feels like the factory glass and I LOVE IT.
I am definitely going to go with Realook from now on.

could you post a link to where to get the realooks?

Edit: See below for link.
This guy has 100% positive feedback and I see why. I ordered it Tuesday and it showed up on Thursday, from CA to TX, so I couldn't ask for faster shipping (and it's FREE).
I can't stress enough how perfect this thing is. If you want your screen to look and feel like glass this is the protector to get.

I'm having the same issue with the Zagg vertical lines. I actually thought maybe the spray messed up the AMOLED so today I took the screen protector off and the lines disappeared. I'll be contacting Zagg and looking into something else...

Just ordered one, nice that it comes in pack of 2. Otherwise, I'll have to order an extra for my wife's Vibrant, thanks for the link.
Was going to order the clearfreak, but I didn't want to deal with the wet application, then having to deal with the haze & bubbles for a few days.

that link is for the International galaxy, it has the mouse hole at the bottom.
Here is the link for the Vibrant

Just ordered a set of the real look as well...I grabbed some T-Mobile anti-smear screen protectors yesterday and hate those things. They cover only the screen itself, are matte, feel funny and the worst thing, they distort the screen in some whacked way, making the pixels almost iridescent. Needless to say, I ripped it off after an hour!
I am really looking forward to the new ones, after reading a lot of good testimonials!
Thanks for the link!

Mostly likely both are from the same seller.

i too had these lines on my cliq xt, my cliq titanium, my G1, and my laptop. i went to physical store though so they replaced them for free each time, mainly cause im a tmobile account manager with deutche telekom and they dont charge me. but they would have offered to replace them for free anyways they told me because it is a flaw in the product and it shouldnt be present in every shield

Anyone using the REALOOK, does the screen feels sticky like Zagg? I remember getting Zagg for Mytouch, and it felt sticky so I ended up buying PhantomSkinz.

The Realook is as smooth as the glass. Absolutely no friction when using Swype.

If you're going to buy a Realook, there is 10% coupon code flying around. I know it works on Amazon for sure, but dunno about ebay since you have to confirm your buy before using a coupon.

Thanks for sharing. I'm aware.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED - Zagg InvisibleShield HD

I will post this in both Galaxy s3 sections because people need to know. This is a good read to know about their misleading advertising that their employee uncovered (unintentionally?) for me.
I am sorry I do not have any photos, because my camera just cant pick up the issues correctly...
I suggest to stay away from this product. It is not like the original invisibleshield.
It is very smooth, which is better than the original, but IT IS NOT DURABLE! The slightest pressure by my fingernail left an indent that has not gone away. I tried the same thing on my brother's original invisibleshield on his HTC Desire and it would not even leave an indent in the first place. If it flexed a little bit, it would heal itself right away.
My screen looks like I have been using the phone for 2 years! and I BABY the phone. Has always been in a case (which does not touch the screen), never shares my pocket with anything else, is face down in my pocket, hasnt been dropped yet (knock on wood) and have not bumped anything into the screen. I do not use a stylus.
I have had the protector on since June 27th and there are many indentations on the screen! It dents extremely easily and it does NOT HEAL.
I have been going back and forth with a Zagg employee in customer service and I will show the correspondence here, but I will remove his/her name.

I have a new Samsung Galaxy s3 and I am wondering what the difference is between the regular invisible shield and the HD. I bought the HD and have had it installed for about 4 days now. It is very smooth which I like, but my brother has a standard invisibleshield on his HTC Desire and although it is not quite as smooth, it does not show any scratches.
The InvisibleShield HD shows scratches quite easily. I applied very light pressure with my fingernail to the corner and there was an indent. It still has not gone away since 3 days. On my brothers device, there is no indent shown as all with the same amount of pressure from my fingernail.
It seems to be less durable and more prone to damage, yet a higher price.

Thank you for contacting ZAGG, where we are Zealous About Great Gadgets! My name is Luis and I appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
Thank you for the purchase of the invisibleSHIELD. I'd like to confirm that the HD is a thinner than the original, which helps with the smoothness and clarity. However, due to the same fact, it does not absorb impact or scratches as well as the original invisibleSHIELD. It still has the original's ability to repair itself but it will take longer to do so. Furthermore, we normally recommend not to asses the quality of any invisibleSHIELD until after a couple of weeks from installation, if it was successful. This is because the adhesive is still curing on to the surface of your phone and may be more prone do damage. If the adhesive is disturbed while it's drying, it will most likely stay that way.
I would recommend to allow an extra week to determine whether or not your invisibleSHIELD will need to be replaced, which is very likely due to the curing procedure your invisibleSHIELD has endured. If so, you may place a warranty request to have a new one sent to you.

I don't really see with what the surface of the screen protector has to do with the adhesive. The indents left in the screen protector are from absolute minimal pressure. I don't see how you are charging a premium for this product when in 2 weeks the screen will look horrendous being covered in indents.
Making it thinner but HIGHLY susceptible to indents is a terrible idea. I have also looked online briefly and I'm not the only one with this issue with the HD.
Zagg is generally known with quality products but this is crazy. A SCREEN PROTECTOR that can't withstand the smallest of pressure/contact/impact. Can you imagine if someone uses a stylus on here? I it would look like an ice rink after a week of crowds skating on it.
This product was not well thought through and I hope it is either redesigned or not made any more. My brand new phone and screen protector looks like I've owned it for over a year. (and I baby my phones. They never share a pocket with anything else, always use a case) for I have no idea how these marks could have even managed to get on there with that being said. I know only one I made on purpose to test it and it's at the bottom away from the screen, but there are many other marks on the screen. I hope it's not the COTTON FIBRES from my pocket making them...

I am sorry to hear that you feel this way. However, it is unreasonable to compare different products and expect them to perform the same as others when they are in a different category. Different products are introduced to the market to satisfy different customers and provide a wider range of protection products. There will never be a "one-size-fits-all" product from any company.
To further elaborate on the adhesive part, if you were to remove part of the adhesive, you will see a noticeable line/scratch on the bottom (adhesive) side of the invisibleSHIELD because the adhesive has been removed/disturbed/stretched. As mentioned, the invisibleSHIELD is more vulnerable to damage while it is still drying.
We have also been selling the HD invisibleSHIELD for the iPhone 4/4S and iPad 3 (3rd Gen) with great success. In the iPad 3, it is not uncommon for customers to use fine stylus, such as the JOT stylus, which has a fine point.
I believe that the reason why you are not completely satisfied with the invisibleSHIELD you own is because you are comparing it to other products, as stated. However, if you are not happy with it, I would recommend seeking assistance from the retailer it was purchased from and inquiring about their return process.

First off I want to address your comment of "There will never be a "one-size-fits-all" product from any company. " I guess you have not heard of SGP? They Flex HD wet applicator is incredibly clear and smooth..and THIN. There are many products that are just as smooth and "glass-like" as the HD, without warping to the slightest contact. Also many other screen protector brands are excellent, from Rearth, to Ghost Armour, and on, and on.
Your interpretation seems to be that, there is no "one size fits all" because your new HD is very weak and you pretty much admitted that when you said, "Thank you for the purchase of the invisibleSHIELD. I'd like to confirm that the HD is a thinner than the original, which helps with the smoothness and clarity. However, due to the same fact, it does not absorb impact or scratches as well as the original invisibleSHIELD."
Also, this insults me even more when you tell me that, " it is unreasonable to compare different products and expect them to perform the same as others when they are in a different category"
I am surely not comparing products in a different category and I'm shocked to even see you write that... They ARE in the same category unless Zagg is magically creating their own category. It is in a wet application screen protector category. ACCORDING TO YOU though, the difference is that... its weaker... because its thinner.
That is even more interesting and let me tell you why.
Here is a link to ZAGGs post on THEIR website - http://www.zagg.com/community/blog/...-for-iphone-and-ipad-with-an-invisible-video/
Look familiar?
"We took the original invisibleSHIELD, improved the clarity, and added a glass-like surface."
Ive spent over an hour searching online through various sources and nowhere does it mention the fact that it does not absorb impact or scratches as well as the original IS. Yes the fact that is is thin is mentioned, but that fact alone should not lead someone to assume that this MORE EXPENSIVE and new product is any WEAKER than the original. If its weaker but clearer/smoother... it should be the same price!
ON SECOND HAND lets take a look at my box for the invisibleshield HD !
"THE invisibleSHIELD HD DELIVERS THE SAME PATENTED, AWARD-WINNING, AND VIRTUALLY INDESTRUCTIBLE PROTECTIVE FILM AS THE ORIGINAL PATENTED invisibleSHIELD, WITH PREMIUM FEATURES INCLUDING ADVANCED CLARITY AND A GLASS-LIKE SURFACE."
Wow, I may have just stepped on my own toes there, it does not even mention that it is thinner! Also in HUGE letters above that it says "THE ORIGINAL, MILITARY GRADE FILM NOW IN HD"
It says its the SAME FILM as the ORIGINAL, but with PREMIUM features (clarity, smoothness). This is misleading advertising at its best.
Keep in mind I purchased the shield based on reading the box in the store, and now after the fact I am searching online and still doesn't really help ZAGGs case.
What else does it say on the box? SCRATCH PROOF
It also mentions that if its ever damaged, it will be replaced for the life of the product. I think scratches/indents are considered damage and since my first email, this thing has nearly twice as many issues with it now.
I laugh at the same "nano-memory technology" on this packaging which is what you advertised on the original IS as well because NONE of the marks have gone away.
Also, interestingly enough, there is no mention of what you told me, "This is because the adhesive is still curing on to the surface of your phone and may be more prone do damage. If the adhesive is disturbed while it's drying, it will most likely stay that way."
Seriously? You dont mention that to the consumers? So this terrible screen protector will always look terrible now, You want us to leave the phone is a protective box for over a week allowing it to cure? That never happened with the original IS. This is the worst advertising for a product.
This is nothing against YOU because you did not manufacture or create the product packaging and advertising (that I know of), and you did shed some light on the misleading nature of this product for me, but don't tell me this is in a different category and that its not fair to compare to your original IS. Thats insulting my intelligence. I can read the packaging of the product sitting here in front of me that claims, again, ""THE invisibleSHIELD HD DELIVERS THE SAME PATENTED, AWARD-WINNING, AND VIRTUALLY INDESTRUCTIBLE PROTECTIVE FILM AS THE ORIGINAL PATENTED invisibleSHIELD, WITH PREMIUM FEATURES INCLUDING ADVANCED CLARITY AND A GLASS-LIKE SURFACE."
It CLEARLY says its the same, original film, but with added features. That would mean its in the same category, or if you want to play the category game, it would be in a premium category BASED ON THE PACKAGING AND ADVERTISING since it does not mention that it is weaker.
I was going to just return this to BestBuy and get them to refund the difference and just go with the original invisbleshield, but because of our correspondence which has made me look closer at the brand and its advertising for this product, I refuse to support this product. I will get a refund and purchase a better, wet protector applicator with glass like smoothness, military grade, great clarity, at a better price, and that will not indent like play-doh - and trust me, there are enough choices for this CATEGORY of screen protector on the market.
ps. this is not an isolated incidence, I have a friend who also purchased this and agrees with me.
pps. Your comment about your Apple products - if they have the same HD material that the Galaxy s3 has, I find it hard to believe that theirs arent weak as well. Although at the same time, people I know with Apple products dont really complain about any accessory they buy for them even when they break in the first week or have other faults.
I will be making these issues publicly known and voicing my displeasure with the brand and product.
Thank you and have a good day.

Well this is an interesting post I just read through the whole thing and I have an Inivsa HD on my SGS3 and I have loved it. I just tried to rape it with my fingernail and it rubbed right out so I don't know where your coming from but if that did happen it would be very frustrating indeed. Where did you buy it from by chance?

I bought it from Best buy and even had them install it.
Because I had them install it, I have 30 days warranty on it, where they will just remove it and re-apply for me if anything is wrong with it.
I will be going and getting him to do that, and if it happens again, refund for me.
Maybe a bad batch came to Canada?
At least you can understand my frustration. It looks like I used a stylus on the shield, and I dont even own a stylus... lol
I thought everyone should know the unadvertised claims for the product at least! Its apparently thinner and weaker, and thats coming right from a Zagg employee!
EDIT: the fact that yours is fine actually frustrates me even more because he pretty much said that its perfectly normal that mine is dented. Which is clearly not true because yours is not. They cant admit a defect in even ONE film?

I had one on my GS2 and it acted the same. Never buy from them again. Over priced and feel horrible.

Honestly man the reliability of there sheilds from batch to batch is horrific. I work at Best Buy and every time I have to install a sheild I will go through at least 3 of them to find one without a defect. Sounds like an exaggeration but its the truth I write off more Invisasheilds than anything else and its not because of me boching the install its because of them seriously having a defect. Once you get a good one though they are pretty nice.

The guy seemed like he did a good job, he did it right infront of me. So I guess I will try my luck on another one since I wont be paying.
They dont care that you go through that many? How much is Best Buys cost for 1 invisibleshield?

I didn't read most of this thread, or even the OP, BUT, I had an evo lte for a few weeks with the new zagg on it, hated the screen protector. Exactly what OP says about scratches and indents staying indefinitely. After 2 weeks it just looked like crap.

No they don't care man they know that most of them are defective. The cost on the HD ones is around $6 if my memory serves me correctly its not bad but still we just send them bag to Zagg.

Very interesting to hear from a best buy guy I'd love to know what kind of defects you're talking about, and so I can look out for them when I go to get mine installed. I have a zagg booth in the mall near me, would you recommend that I get it done there, or at the best buy across the street?

thanks for the heads up to the community. I think market is the cheapest thing to sell, rather than a good resolved product which delivers what it promises. it takes a good lot of effort to check and double check if they sold what they are saying, and i think you've done that for us regarding this brand~
ironically, bad marketing goes twice as far and three times as fast =)

I take back all my previous claims the Invisasheild HD on the SGS3 is terrible. I am experiencing the exact same "skating rink" look and feel now after moderate use. I baby my phone like crazy and I get all of these marks on it that will not go away. My sheild was good for the first week as said but now it is like this. Not to mention I went through 3 Invisasheild HD's at my store to find this one and it turned out like this after 2 weeks. I have now gone to the Matt finish Anti-Smudge sheild and couldn't be happier. This is a real problem that Zagg has to look at. I will update with some pictures in a little here once I get my macro lens to work.
@GamerMYJ, the only advantage in my experience is BestBuy isn't afraid to go get another shield and write it off for you, well at least I'm not and it shouldn't be an exception at another store & I speak on behalf of my store in Canada.

I also have this problem my question is though if just the screen protector is damaged or is this actually also damaging my phone screen?

MIMEUSA.com

I recently emailed them regarding their tempered glass release for the Moto X and their response was that they were currently gauging interest. So I've posted this on G+ and thought I would post here as well. If you email them your interest in their tempered glass; they have 2 kinds. They could possibly release one for our device. Email is: [email protected] if you can.
Thanks!

Mailed them :good:

Mailed em! Now I hope they will do something about AND that the product doesn't SUCK.

I had mailed them a couple nights ago as well. No response back as of yet.

I'm really hoping that they're watching how the sales of this phone is going and commit to this. Looks like an outstanding product

I know this is not necessarily identically related.. But iLoome recently responded to someone on their Facebook page that they are testing a prototype for the Moto X right now. Or at least their Screenmate version. Either way, I'd be excited if either iLoome or MIME decided to make and sell them :fingers-crossed:

Emailed them yesterday as well. Would love to get rid of this terrible Zagg protector.

Mailed them. I love mime ghost glass

Clarivue isn't even selling the XT Glass version anymore on their own website, probably for good reason. I wouldn't trust $50 to a third party on this.

If you don't want to wait for the MIME protector, give iBlason a try. http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Motorola-Ultra-Thin-Tempered-Protector/dp/B00E0CUP18
I am not having the sensor problems you read about. I don't know if they've fixed it, the 4.4 update fixed it, or (as someone suggested) my white-front is somehow different than it being used on the black-front.

I'm a fan. It feels like the glass on the screen. So far it hasn't accumulated any scratches. It is not a finger print magnet either, pretty easy to keep it clean. It was VERY easy to apply - I actually came away with no air bubbles to squeegee out. The edges aren't rounded like the Spigen tR series is, so you can feel a very slight edge if you run your fingers around your phone edge, but it's not irritating in any way if you swipe in from the sides. I paid $17 for it (Prime membership, free 2-day shipping) - I feel like it's an amazing product for the price, especially compared to other similar products (I know Spigen usually runs about $25-30 for their glass protectors).
You'll see a lot of the reviews on Amazon mentioning that their proximity sensor doesn't work with it on - especially noticeable if they're in a call (they'll bring their phone away from their face and the screen doesn't turn on, so they can't end the call, etc.) I didn't have any of these problems. A couple reviewers updated their review mentioning that after the 4.4 Kit Kat update, their problems went away. Some people have also said that the black fronts have the problems, where the white fronts don't. I don't know about all that - all I know is it works just fine for me, tested with many calls.
I can take some pictures this evening after work if anyone wants.

Anybody ever used the ghost glass with an otterbox defender series? I always pull the built in screen protector out of the otterbox and just put another screen protector on the phone. Just wondering if there are any fit problems with the defender and the ghost glass.

Yes please, pictures would be welcome. Also, do you have a white or a black front?

80% Off Xtremeguardz

I just purchased a back cover for my Z3C and noticed that it covers the camera lens too. That's a nice feature considering so many have scratched their lenses.
And it goes without saying, I DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY! Just trying to share the deal I got.
http://www.xtremeguard.com/

I got in on this for another phone but didn't see anything for the z3c, otherwise i would have ordered something for the back
Guess my brain wasn't working that day, just found it. This will be perfect for the back plus better grip. Ive used these in the past with great results

thanks for sharing! just ordered one too!

does it fit with devilcase?

I don't see why it wouldn't. It's just a thin piece of tpu

Nice!
Thanks for the heads up!

These were so cheap, I purchased two of them. I've noticed that these films tend to yellow over time, and it really shows on a white phone.

Now that you mention it, I recall the yellowing from past use
On a side note, I got an email today for 91% off the entire site. Will have to place an order today

I hope not, I really like their protectors; mainly for the back. However they do need to work on the yellowing issue as you mentioned.
Also they just came out with their spartan glass screen protectors. Really hard to say, what's going on but I'm not complaining
Will have to stock up on a few items just in case
Edit: Just went to their page and saw that they now offer lifetime warranty on their protectors, granted most will update at least every 2 years I imagine. So the warranty is kind of pointless; good marketing scheme though. Also looks like they are starting to offer more products overall. So I'm not sure why the low prices, maybe to stay competitive?
EDIT 2: maybe you are right, just reread the email and says "*Limited quantities are available in tempered glass and other accessories by XtremeGuard. These products will only be available while supplies last"

Sorry to double post but wanted this separate from my last post.
I believe this code is good for more than 1 use; so anyone wanting to use it on the site is more than welcome. I just ordered a bunch of protectors, etc for various devices we have.
price comes out to dirt cheap.
91% off 2-15 items storewide: BEACH91 enjoy! At this price, you can't go wrong
otherwise they still have their summer80 off.

The HD wont be shipping on the 20th, which I suspect is why they are listing them as out of stock:
Howdy intelliGLASS Pixel 2 XL HD Backers!
Every October here at intelliARMOR we’re treated to the latest release of Google’s Android phone and it’s all hands on deck coming up with products and designs that fit perfect and perform the way we’d like.
Sadly, the progress we’ve been making on our intelliGLASS Pixel 2 XL intelliGLASS has not been stellar. The curvature of the XL model is significantly larger than the standard Pixel 2 and our flat glass is just looking horrible.
Because of this, we are not going to be able to ship our HD glass on the 20th as scheduled, we are estimating another 30 to 45 days before it is ready to go.

I wouldn't depend on the HD shipping. I think they said they were having problems with it because of the curved screen. There was a letter a couple of pages back.

I just want correct product pictures even if they are just approximations. How can I be expected to buy P2XL gear when I'm looking at P2 gear images?
We're putting so much faith in Intelliarmor's full adhesive 2D (and eventually full adhesive 3D) as the definitive TGSPs for the next few weeks/months. They need to meet us halfway.
I want that 2-pack 2D so badly. I just need the screen covered. If they need a micrometer to find the exact spot past the screen to stop the protection, then so be it. The case will do all the work.

Quoted the wrong post. I was actually trying to respond to the post you responded to. Don't know how I missed your post but then quoted it?

Anyone who ordered the intelliGLASS 3D for the Pixel 2 XL already received a shipping confirmation?
My order is still processing and on their website it doesn't really say it's out of stock...

My HD 2 pack shipped yesterday.

My card was charged on 11/18 for my black 3D order, but they have not yet shipped... When I placed my order the site said "Ships Nov. 20", now says "Ships Dec. 10"

Well, I really do hope that the intelliGLASS 3D is better than their support...
Just got an email that shipment is delayed till December 10 because of too many orders.
Well this info would have been nice to have had when placing the order...there was absolutely no mentioning that delays may occur.
A couple of days can always happen, but almost 3 weeks plus shipping to Europe. I'm lucky if I receive the tgsp before Christmas.
Not happy at the moment

Seem to remember the folks for IntelliArmor mention that the IntelliArmor 3D glass is full adhesive, anybody knows? Hope this is true and does not cut out any visible screen area.

What I have read it's not full adhesive, but adhesive around all sides and the cut-out of the proximity sensor.
Should probably be better than most, but if it's really going to be the tgsp we'll see

Definitely not full adhesive, but they never said it would be for these initial batches. They said the goal was to try and make a full adhesive version, but I'm guessing if they don't sell enough they won't.
Anyway, put my 3D on last night, no rainbow effect. Got to work this morning, rainbow effect. I'll be putting another Skinomi back on when I get home.
