I've heard so many advantages to these protecive screens, what are some of the disadvantages?  Why doesnt the phone manfacturer just have something like this installed out of the box if they work so well?  Just trying to decide if I should get one.

I asked a Sprint store rep today this question and he said that b/c the Pre has a "heat-sensitive touch screen" that it will drastically alter things like gestures and did not recommend thiem.

The screen is a capacitive touch screen...which last time I checked did not mean "heat sensitive". Iphones have the same type of screen, and nobody has really complained about having a screen protector affect it that much.

I used quotes on "heat sensitive" for that reason. I knew that wasn't the case but I wasn't sure about the affect it would have on the screen.

Does the invisible shield work with the touchstone chasrging device, since the device requires a new back for the pre?

Hi, it should work yes. But maybe someone can try it out just to be sure?

I've searched for specific examples to my answer but maybe I can get a better answer here.  How much will the InvisibleShield, phanton Skin, Body Guardz, etc. affect sensitivity of the touch screen? Phantom Skin advertises that it will not affect it at all. Is this true? And if so, does that mean that the other products will?  I asked a Sprint store rep today this question and he said that b/c the Pre has a "heat-sensitive touch screen" that it will drastically alter things like gestures and did not recommend thiem. I was just hoping to find someone who has used one on the Pre and what their impression of it was.  It seems the majority of posters lean towards the IS. But it also sounds like most people are waiting to receive their IS and have not used it on the Pre yet.

Feel free to let me know if I'm blind to a previously post that answers my question!

Not heat-sensitive, and my Pre has a Bodyguardz on the front and the sensitivity of the screen hasn't been affected at all. To be honest, the cover creates less traction so swipes are smoother than without a cover.

I just bought an IS for my pre and looked at the installation video. One of the comments said that once you install the shield you can't slide your phone anymore.... is this true?

So I bought an IS from zagg online. Applied it after reading the instructions and watching the video. Did all the little things like remove the battery and leave off for 24 hours (which was painful).  But my application looked awful. I later heard that a local mall in the Tampa area has an IS kiosk where they sell and install the IS's. I took my Pre to the kiosk and asked the rep if my installation was correct. I assumed before getting there that I did it incorrectly and that I would just have to buy another one. But I forgot about the lifetime warranty! The rep replaced my IS with a brand new one and installed it correctly in a matter of minutes. It looks WAY better. I only had to pay the $10 install fee but it was completely worth it.

Apparently, I over-squeegied the IS when I applied it. This caused the glue to move around and make additional bubbles. The rep did one stroke in each direction with the squeegie while I did multiple trying to get out every bubble and bump. This only made things worse.

I only applied IS to the screen-side of Pre (not the back).  It does not interfere with the screen or sliding keyboard. In fact, as a previous poster mentioned, I like the responsiveness with the IS on.

I love the Invisible Shield on my palm pre, I use to constantly worry about scratches especially since my first pre got one.

However the installation on the pre is very difficult and I don't recommend installing it yourself. I paid $10 to a Zagg store in my local mall and he installed it perfectly. The first Zagg I installed on my pre did not look good at all i tried my best but I just couldn’t get the curves of the phone right. I emailed Zagg and they sent me a new one after without asking my why.

I am a very satisfied customer and rate this product 5/5 as you don’t even feel it on the phone, isn’t as big as a finger magnet as the pre body is, and cleans easy.

This is the best way to protect your investment. I recommend this to everyone and after having this for 2 weeks I still see no  orange glare
