I decided to get a screen protector for my BlackBerry 8703e when I first got it, and after looking at a number of options I went with the Invisible Shield.
As a WriteRight user for nearly a decade, I was hesitant about going with a solution that gave you only a single shield. Even with the replacement guarantee, requesting a replacement and sending in the old one sounded like a hassle. WriteRights need to be replaced every couple of months, so I was skeptical.
Five months later, I am thrilled to report that the Invisible Shield is holding up great - exactly as advertised. I’m really quite impressed. Well worth the $11.95.
A couple of other notes:
- It isn’t advertised well on the site, but when I placed my order I was able to pay with PayPal - always a bonus to use “play money” on something like this. If it had been clear that they accepted PayPal, I would have placed the order several days sooner and wouldn’t have even of looked for alternatives.
- Shipping is free - another nice touch.
- The installation instructions are clear and materials are provided to help you get a bubble and fingerprint free installation.
- Letting the BlackBerry sit for 24 hours to allow the shield to “set” was a bit inconvenient, but I’m glad I did it.
I’m obviously quite pleased with this little product and I recommend it.
Disclaimers: I was in no way compensated for this review, I received no discount on the product and I am not affiliated with the folks at Invisible Shield in any way (that I know of).

Best Skins Ever has the same product (its just 3M Paint Protective Film, same stuff used in clear car “bras”) for a lot cheaper (and they sell large sheets if you need to custom-cut it).
I bought the InvisibleShield screen protector for my iPod and love it - but will be buying a Macbook protection kit from BSE due to the $25 price difference between them and ShieldZone for exactly the same product.

Actually, being an insider in ShieldZone, I can GUARANTEE that ShieldZone does, in fact, NOT use 3M film. The film ShieldZone uses has been proven in multiple tests to be a stronger and more abrasive-resistant film.
