Figures they'd come out with it a week before I'm thinking of picking up an Imate Ultimate 8150. But it's out for those of you interested link below.
P3600 Full Body Invisible Shield
http://www.shieldzone.com/item_description/HTCP3600I.html
Nice!! It's listed for the P3600i, but I guess it's exactly the same as the P3600.
Anybody tried it already?? Better than a regular silicon cover?
How does this work?
If it is stretched all over the PDA, how is it joined/sealed? What about removing the batter cover or using the thumb wheel? Is it fixed like cling-film?
Also, the screen is recessed from the surround so if it is stretched around the housing and screen, then there would seem to be a gap between the screen and this cover, so what will the sensitivity of the screen be like?

If you followed the link and watched the installation video showing it being applied to an ipod you wouldn't have asked.........suggest you try that first.

looks like it would be a least 3 pieces - one for the screen, then one for the keys, and one for the back - which does not protect the sides. And the video doesn't show how it fits on the phone, it shows how it fits on the front of a ipod - so don't be a smart a*s. He was asking how it fits on this phone not an ipod dumb a*s.

Get life....yes the clip shows it being fitted to an ipod......if you gothered to watch the clip you would have seen that the piece for the back also does the sides as they wrap around.....apart from the size etc the actual method of applying this will be the same.
Next time smart a*s do your homework rather than mouthing off.
Oh yes all my questions answered if only I had watched the ipod video.
Now All I need is an m700 that is exactly the same shape as an ipod, with all the buttons in the same place, with a flush screen, and well, all very ipodish, and then it will all be clear.
So this will be no more than a screen protector on the PDA. It will not protect the buttons or lower raised section of the housing. Also won't protect the sides (too many buttons), and it seems that the tight curves will be a problem for this cover. I can see this peeling off the m700 in a very short time
If you know so much about it, then can you explain how it will work with a recessed screen? Will I be able to tap it all over with a key and not damage the phone, and if I throw it in a box of coins, will all the phone be safe from scratches and chips - just like the ipod?

Lets get this straight....I haven't used this product...however when I saw the "link" I went to the manufacturers site to get a better understanding of it....
I watched the video and while it was of it being fitted to an ipod I got a basic understanding of how it could be fitted to a P3600i.
I didn't think it was "cling wrap", I understood that there would be several sections involved....including one for the recessed screen (yes, just like a normal screen protector) and I too would be skeptical of it protecting all parts of the phone.
There is a tendency in these forums for people to not search out information but to ask seemingly dumb questions.....
As this product is new for this model....why not just ask if anyone has tried it or ask the manufacturer for more information.....or is that too hard to do????
NOT FULL BODY...JUST SCREEN ONLY
The site says full body not Screen only, that's a separate option...
I would really like to know if and how exactly this works on 3600.
I actually have silicon case and screen protector for mine, but this would make it considerably smaller...
Bought and use the InvisibleShield
Folks,
I bought it and had it send to Holland. Took about 1 to 2 weeks but ok I am not in a hurry.
The full body covers basically all the shiny black plastic plus the screen. The rest (middles of the sides and the front keys) are not covered. Also offcourse the camera, speakers etc are not covered. However, and this is probably the difference between P3600 and P3600i the front camara is covered by the shield blurring the image. Now I have already put it on the camera but the next time I would use a hole puncher to add the extra hole. I probably will use a sharp hobby knife to cut an extra hole (on the other hand I never use video conferencing).
The plastic is more stronger and thicker then normal screen protectors. Haven't tried to scratch it on pupose and guess what I am not going to do it. If a scratch forms by accident I will mention it here.
The screen takes some getting used to with the new cover. The plastic does not "slide" as easy as the original screen protector or the screen itself. Maybe this is just in the first period.
The application process it pretty easy if you just take the time. Takes about 30 minutes if you do it slowly. Only 2 minor bubbles on the back but those are not really an issue, the rest is perfect.
Hey for 20 euro's I think it is a good deal. No horrible rubber case or GPS blocking metal case for me anymore. Only downside is that if the phone is dropped now there is no protection. This is only against scratches.
Lifetime guarantee so lets see how often I have to send it back.
All in all recommended so far (but that is just after 1 day of use)
I want to see it
Post a picture please
Isn't it invisible?..
See the invisible sheet
Well actually it is quit difficult to see but here are some picures. The picture from the side shows you some edges.
Edges
The edges that you can see in the pic don't seem to line up perfectly, how were the dimensions on the rest of the edges?
i've been thinkin of getting one of these since i saw them for ipods but that messy edge is scaring me away a little, also how are you finding the screen protector after a little more use?
Edges reply
Well the edges are more because of my talent I think. The reason why I showed you this is because at least you can see something. For the rest it alligns perfectly.
After using it for a while it still seems a great product. I accidentaly dropped the thing but no scratch at all. What you do notice is the slightly more pressure you need when using the stylo. Also the screen protector is not as smooth as the original screen making the sliding a little more difficult. Also the plastic sticks to your ear while calling. But all in all still recommended.
I just put it onto the white one...
...and it is invisible. You can see it only on buttons' silver surrounding, on white parts only the edges are visible if you try really hard. I haven't got a good enough camera to show it, sorry.
It has a sticky feeling about it (maybe needs to dry more?). I don't like it on the screen - feels sticky and thick. I'd say use a decent screen protector instead.
It came WITH the cut-out for a camera (it's 3600i shield, I've got 3600), so it fits like a glove.
Oh, it's not a stress-free, low pressure 15 minutes application like they advertise it. It's fekkin pain in the ar$e one hour job, you're swetting your ar$e off. And - I guess - you can never get it perfect at the end. There will always be a bubble or misaligned edge somewhere (or is it me?).
Long term use review to follow.

Any update to report? I'm thinking about buying one and would like your oppinion since you've now had it for a while.

Same question for you... Any updates? Thank you...
Definately recommended
After using it a few months I still think it is definately worth the few euro's. Ok it sticks a bit when calling for a long time and I think I even managed to get a small scratch on it but I sort of abuse the fact that I have the shield. Store it with keys, never use a case etc.
No I have bought some useless accessoires such as aluminium case (blocks GPS) and the remote for mediaplayer but the shield I would really recommend.
Cheers,
Dimitri.
hi everyone,
i just got my Touch Pro, but i noticed that the flushed screen, on the right hand side, isn't mended well to the frame, where i could slightly see light from the screen coming out, especially in the room where it's dark
does anyone else experience this? it's just slightly and visible only in a dark room where there's no light except your Touch Pro. just worried someday, it may just collect all the dusts and let them in, going under the screen.
Yes, mine has that as well. I was a bit disappointed, but I'm hoping it's not a major issue, though using the case and a screen protector might help a bit.
For now, I use a piece of scotch tape (inserted thin-side into the crevices) to pull out any dust from time to time.
oh well, they should have done better on controlling, i didn't find it such issue on my diamond, well it's a different screen implementation after all, but the latter was better IMO
Came today from Play.
It is very odd has a cut out at top left (as if something underneath the glass requires a clear "signal") and a hole cut for the LED to shine through.
All in all a bit strange for £5 for 2.
Does it effect the screen quality in anyway? And does it help with fingerprints? I'm looking to get a new screen protector cos the one I got reduces screen quality by too much. (hint: avoid the forever fitters screen protectors!)
-------------------------------------
Sent from my HTC Desire
I just bought one recently and it's still shipping. Hope it won't reduce the screen sensitivity by too much. It's already perfect by default.

The proximity sensor and the ambient light sensor is to the left of the HTC logo.
Proximity sensor?

It's what turns the screen off when you hold the phone to your ear during a phone call, and what turns it back on when you bring the phone back down.
Take my advice. Do NOT buy this screen protector. I have just tried to fit two and failed both times. £5 vanished.
Why?
It is what I'd call a literal fit - in other words there is no margin between the protector and the actual screen. That makes it almost impossible to get right first time - and as you will know, with a screen protector, first time is best. The protector will almost certainly overlap the screen microscopically, riding up at the edge, leaving air pockets you won't be able to get out. Take if off to apply again and hello dust.
It also seems to be much more prone to bubbling than the non HTC one I'd put on before. Wish I'd left it on.
Am considering not bothering since I have an HTC case and it is glass not plastic.
But bloody annoying.
Has no one else noticed the little circle thing in the top left ish of the device??
First time i saw it i thought it was a camera but obviously isn't.
Then thought maybe it used for auto brightness or something like that?
its in the top left, in line with the htc logo, about a cm in from the left.
Have to have the screen off, and look very close.
Read the thread - proximity sensor apparently

Exactly my experience too, I couldn't have put it better myself. Waited two months for this POS.
I think the only real solution is trim it on one side very slightly....
Just put mine on today too. Most unimpressed compared to the cheap pack of 6 from Germany. Fingerprint magnet and difficult to clean them off. I had to put the second one on straight away too, due to the fit, but considering putting one of the cheap ones back on!
AVOID.
Exactly so. That's what I've done
I bought an HTC Evo 4G LTE on Friday along with a screen protector and a case. Anyway, I'm no good at putting on the screen protectors, so I asked the phone guy at best buy to put it on. Fast forward to this evening and I noticed what appeared to be 3 small specks of dust that got under the protector, with a larger one. As I was inspecting them, I found that they were actually tiny black circles (think speck of dust size or even dead pixel size). I'm going to be taking the phone back tomorrow for a replacement, but in the meantime, I'm curious what these are? I've done a lot of googling and the closest two pieces of information I've been able to find say they are either dead pixels because they are about the right size and show up best against a white background, or that they are moisture damage.
The question is, which seems most likely? Can dead pixels manifest themselves as circles rather than squares? And also could moisture damage be so minimal that only four little spots appeared? I should point out that the screen protector was the variety that uses a liquid sprayed on the phone to ensure a good clean overlay on the screen, and also that the salesperson used some blasts of compressed air directly on the screen to try and clean it before applying the protector (I've heard thats a big no-no).
I had a similar problem once with a no name chinese tab.
I noticed a bunch of black spots (square) the size of dead pixels all over the screen. I removed the protector and wiped the screen clean. It was tiny specks of dust indeed.
While blowing hot air onto the screen is a big NO-NO, IMO blowing compressed air wouldn't cause damage. Its the heat that damages the LCDs.
Curious how specks of dust would produce that effect, considering they are not uniformly shaped. Anyway, I've got my fingers crossed now that the problem really is dust rather than a bad screen, since I would hate to start this new phone off the same way I started my last one (returned for defective hardware / software 3 times in 3 months).
Thanks for the input and I'll be sure to post up the results tomorrow when I take the phone into the store. I've already discussed it with the store and since the salesperson was the one who installed the protector, if it turns out to be dust, they will replace the $25 protector free.
Turns out it was dust, or some other contamination, but it was UNDER the screen so that, while you could see them with the phone turned off, you couldn't get at them in any way. Home now with a replacement phone, but as my first experience with HTC, I'm not super impressed...
Hi,
So i bought a used Note pro and is rly nice but it has a damaged back Cover and bezel (the silver lining around the tablet ). I know from taking it apart that you can just swap out the hole thing. Problem is i can only find the black backcover but not the bezel. Maybe someone here has a hint where to get what i need?
EDIT: Just watched a video. It seems the pro is built differently than the 10.1 2014. They glued the screen to the bezel. That makes it near to impossible to just change the bezel. I'll have to live with a broken bezel then....

Some little superficial damage even on my used p-905. Though I paid 220 € with shipment, not disappointed. I was asking myself the same question about the bezel: thank you for saving my time! If you have like tiny scratches on the screen too consider applying official Samsung screen protector, it's perfectly trimmed and high quality (it hides moderate screen damages perfectly) and doesn't alter the feeling when drawing with pen which for me is a total must.
