"Key and coin SCRATCH test" video clip!!!

Very cool and interesting. Thank you..

good job richard! i also bought the invisible shield but did not put it on my 5G yet because I'm waiting for apple to send a replacement because the one i bought had 2 dead pixels on the screen.

I'm wondering... the invisible shield I got seems like it is not cut too well at the click wheel. It seems like it is not cut all the way through at some parts and there are "double line" cuts. for instance, there is the cut-line for the click wheel and about 2mm away there is another one.

Just wondering if you guys had the same thing, and did it detract from the look?

no its clear....

It is suposed to have double cut lines for the click weel. you are suposed to take out the thin strip between the cut lines. I don't think it detracts from the look of the player at all. I tried putting mine on without taking out the little strip and it looked worse than when the strip was removed

Just bought one. Does anyone know if it will leave residue when it is removed?

Yes, light scratches will NOT show up after you put the invisible shield on. It makes it dissapear.

Yes, it will leave some glue if you peel it too quickly. Any residue can be easily rubbed off with a little Goo Gone.

I just wanted to add that people should not be worried about water bubbles forming under the shield when they apply theirs. Air bubbles are NOT ok but water bubbles are OK. The reason is that this membrane is air permeable so after a few days the water will evaporate out from underneath the membrane.

Good luck!

WOW!!

I just made an Apple ID just to reply to this thread. This was amazing, you're a brave man! 🙂

I specifically enjoyed the bag test the most. 😉

Great Test, I'm working on buying one now, but i have a few questions..
I want my wheel to stay safe, should i get the cover for it?
also i noticed u said use some goof off to remove residue, so is this kinda like glueing the cover on?
and will the glue type of residue hurt it? or make my wheel sticky?
theres also a film currently on my ipod (came that way) i dont want to remove it, do i have to ?
and does anyone know if theres goin to be cases commin out for the 5G netime soon?
bcuz even if i get the invisablefilm i still want another case on top of that (im paranoid).
thank you all for your time.

thx for the advice will. another question: is the best way to apply the shield by applying the whole front together as one piece, and then ripping off the thin strip?

I don't think you are paranoid. I am going to get another case too. I'm thinking of either a leather case or the agent18 case. Probably leather because the agent18 case is almost like an invisible shield but thicker and hard.

Check out pdaden.com for the leather case by pdair, and check out agent18.com for the other case.

So is this "invisible wrap" liquid or some kind of thin plastic?

I'm scared to put something liquid on my iPod...very scared.

If it is indeed a plastic wrap, is it very sticky on the hands when you open it from it's packaging? (or whatever it comes in)

One last question. Is this available in stores? Target/Frys/Best Buy/Circuit City etc.

Edwardo,

There are two strips between the front surface and click wheel and between click wheel and the center button. I think ripping off these strips and then apply three pieces one at a time should be better. The reason is the alignment of the strip portion. It 's hard to make sure that the strip is exactly on the edge between the clickwheel and the front when you apply the invisible shield to the whole front.

great advice, navin, thx!
