These are great for protecting portable devices, I've used them on 3 phones now. Normally they're a little expensive ($12 just for a screen protector, $25 for the whole body). However following this link gives you 50% off each item!

just saw this last night on SD while searching reviews for this stuff. Apparently it is beyond amazing you will flip if you see the promotional video. I bought a set for both of our cell phones and if I like it as much as I imagine I will I will put up a review of it here and probably buy it for the laptop, gps, cameras, and various other items. apparently they cell this for a very wide variety of items and pretty good coverage as my LG Musiq is a brand new phone and model and they already have it!!!
I bought a screen protector for my Mogul cell phone couple weeks back, for 50% off.
I was seriously disappointed. Although it's tough, it was FAR from invisible. Glare was so bad that I couldn't use it in the sun at all. The plastic is... not sure how to describe it... tacky...? when you move the stylus across the plastic, there's too much friction, so it's hard to drag and drop (I can't imagine how it'd work on an iPhone).
Plus, the protector feels thin and cheap... it's very flimsy (I'm sure it's meant to be though), and left a lot of bubbles. They have detailed step-by-step application instructions, and a video on line, to install, and even comes with spray applicator solution
I definitly followed the instructions word for word, and wasn't happy.
However, it was extremely fast shipping (I was surprised), and the packaging was impressive for such a cheap item...
But, I mailed it back for a refund, as I was not satisfied... it's been a week, no credit to my credit card yet.
I highly recommend Boxwave Cleartouch Crystal. They are way more expensive ~$15 shipped, but are incredible. They are stiff plastic, apply easily, come off easy (when you want it off), is washable, reusable, etc. I bought one for my Zune and my Mogul, and both were fantastic, and shipped quickly.
UPDATE: Ordered: 02/14/08 Posted to Credit Card 02/15/08 Received in the mail 02/19/08 Applied to phone 02/19/08 Decided I wasn't satisfied and emailed customer support 02/20/08 Reply from customer service with RMA 02/21/08 I mailed 02/21/08 Refund applied to my credit card 02/26/08
Although I wasn't happy with the item, I was pleased by the mailing time, the customer service, and the refund time.
Thanks OP - in for this deal again - picked up a few last time at half off and just got a new phone, so needed another. Now I just have to sit down and put them all on.

I had one on my Moto Q and I LOVED it, however it wasn't a touchscreen. I supposed I'll just give it a try as I have already ordered it. But thanks for the BoxWave recommendation. I tried the ClearTouch BoxWave protector on my previous smartphone and I didn't like it because it was too thick, but it wasn't a touchscreen either.

I have the inv. SHIELD on my Chocolate and a friend has on his similar phone, and we've had nothing but good experiences with them. It's ridiculously tough, resisting scratches from my car keys when I forget to use a different pocket. Applying it was not as easy as I would have liked but you have a few seconds before it sets in place, so you can reposition it. It's a lot like wet decals on a model airplane. I just ordered two screen protectors for my cameras, one for my GPS, and one for my wristwatch. Thanks OP!
I have them on all our cell phones, gps units and ipods and they work great. They work so much better than the other types of screen protectors that I have used.
I purchased the full cover for my iphone and had a hard time installing the back portion without the little edges sticking up and catching on things. I removed the back portion and use only the front portion now and it works great.

I own a few of these protectors and the full body wraps are troublesome, and the edges eventually pop up and are annoying. However, for covering a single screen or one flat surface, these things work nicely.
Still, even at $5-6 on sale. it is tough mentally to pay that much for what amounts to a tiny clear plastic decal. But if it saves my LCD screens, then I guess it's worth it.
I do like the product but the promo video IMO is ridiculous. I could care less if this plastic can support a thousand pounds on a bench press while an ipod rests underneath. Ooooh, the drama. LOL.
Instead, how about testing these in ways I actually care about: Show me that it prevents scratches, is relatively easy to apply, stays in place, is clear enough to appear as if it wasn't there, works well on touchscreens, does not reflect glare, does not wash out colors, etc. I give a rat's hiney that it can support a Volkswagen.
I've used them on all my Blackberries and iPods. If the edges start peeling up then request a warranty replacement. As for it "feeling" flimsy, I'm not sure what that means. MY IS's have been very good at protecting my devices. It's a film -- not a hard shell.
These film protector shields work great! I have the screen protector on my Blackberry 8310 Curve. An entire body protector on my 3rd Gen iPod Nano. And an entire body protector on LG EnV.
They were a pain to get on without any bubbles underneath. But comes w/ sqweegy and if done right, it works so well in proctecting my devices from annoying nicks and scratches. I highly recommend it w/ this 50% off price!

Really? I have thsi on the screens of my Nokia N75, my Canon Sd Elph camera and my Garmin nuvi. Figuring I'd use my cellphone the most, I got the full-body shield. Now, 7 months later, the edges are gross and peely. I need to look into this warranty. Thanks!
For screens - I wholeheartedly recommend this product!
I'll echo a few comments here, the full kits for cell phones can be a pain to put on, but if you take your time they're worth it.
Be VERY careful when doing black/dark colored devices. I tried putting a full kit on a Motorola Q9c and no matter how careful I was, lint/dust/particles always found a way to get under the shield when being installed. I gave up and just returned the kit because I knew it would drive me insane. Also, I found that the glossy finish of the shield looked VERY tacky on the matte Q9c.
I also put a full kit on a Palm Centro which came out awesome. The Centro already had a glossy finish, so the kit truly did look invisible.
The screen protectors are DEFINITELY worth it at 50% off.
