I am so disappointed with this product and in complete agreement with the truthful, albeit negative, comments deposited previously in this thread. I bought two of these for my new HTC Touch Pro 2. No amount of spray is going to keep this skin from sticking firm at the first point it touches so forget about sliding it around for perfect placement – ain’t gonna happen. The rubber card for scraping away excess liquid was almost useless and I ended up using a little card that I got previously from a different brand. By the time I had placed it almost in correct position it was stretched and unsightly and could not get the bubbles out – I mean the larger bubbles without badly stretching the plastic material. It looked so bad, I took it off and in the garbage it went. The other package in the garbage as well. I’ll order the Boxwave Cleartouch Crystal – I know for a fact that one works as advertised.

Comment on Blackberry Pearl Flip 8220 Review by mickeypapillon

Bob,

Truly, the battery should be lasting anywhere between 1 and 2 days. Some people can go more, some can’t make it a day. I was seeing 2 days with moderate use of the Pearl Flip. If you are concerned about the amount of life you are experiencing with the battery, I would recommend you contact T-Mobile.

How long should the battery last between recharges on a new Blackberry Flip 8220?

Comment on Navigon for iPhone Review by Gapple

I don’t find Navigon to be that useful. Almost everytime I have used it, it froze enroute. The arrow would stop on the highway and I would have to exit and re-enter for it to continue. Often I have gone to Google-maps to get a bird’s eye view of where I was. I used to have Tom-Tom on my BB and I found it excellent. Haven’t used TT on the iPhone though.

I read that Google might be modyfying their Google Maps for iPhone, and if so, that would be the killer app.

I cannot recommend Navigon.

Comment on Wilson iBooster for the iPhone Review by Frank

Where do Wilson Electronics ever come up with the info that the iBooster improves signal reception by up to 20 x?

I think this is false advertising, reportable to the FTC.

The installation is a buggy one. Having that said, I’ve used up all my solution before inserting the little pieces. So those are now completely useless after not having them stick.

I’ve also been an owner for about 5 days, so having said that I am still waiting for all the air bubbles to disapear, the majority of them disapear after 3 days, pretty nifty, but there is still little air bubbles trying to disapear. May have to wait a while.

It stays on good, but also being a “picky” White iPhone owner, it does not show good on the back. Seeing I have used the phone after installation (I left it dry for an hour) and then putting the phone in my pocket, I guess you can say that pieces of lint have appeared on the sticky sides on the back. Being an owner of a White iPhone it’s clearly visible, so if you own the White iPhone/iPod touch, it doesn’t look good, but I think this shield would work better for the black edition.

Also it does seem entirely imposible to not include dirt. I did use a lot of solution for my fingerprints, so there wasn’t a sign of fingerprints at all, however my screen shows that I have a tiny bit of dust in there, but I am not so entirely picky about that. But I think the installation should come with MORE solution spray.

I mainly bought the Invisible Shield to enjoy having to use the iPhone being naked. I have gone through 2 other cases already, without screen protectors, so I’m probably just thinking of just using one of my other cases with the Incredible Shield cover.

Comment on Sony Ericsson TM506 Review by Terrie

Well, I see I’m not the only one with a bad battery life. I finally upgraded my phone (I had my old one for 9 years) and was so happy I wouldn’t have to charge it every other day. But, it seems I do. I got this phone seven days ago and have charged it three times already. I don’t know if getting a new battery will help after reading all of these comments. Love the phone though.

Comment on Wilson iBooster for the iPhone Review by Frank

I have not noticed any improvement in cell phone reception and am wondering if the iBooster is just a gimmick.

Driving into Reno on 395, there is one dead spot where I always lose cell phone reception. With the iBooster, I STILL lose reception at that same spot.

It also seems to cause my iPhone to stop functioning correctly- in the middle of a call, a listener suddenly only hears jibberish. I can’t prove that this is being caused by the iBooster- but it certainly didn’t happen before I started using the device.

The invisible shield was hard to apply and was very sticky. Even with soaking my fingers with the solution, there were fingerprints all over the place. I can not get rid of the bubbles, the card that came with it was worthless. Wish I had gotten the one with the spray, instead of the sponge. And as for the retailer applying it for me, this is my 3rd screen protector and I have yet to find one dealer to apply the screen protector for me.
