Protect your IPod from Scratches with the Invisible Shield

I recently bought an IPod and a new Samsung Blackjack cell phone. Both these pieces of technology cost me a few hundred bucks (each) so I wanted to protect them. I don't want them getting scratched up and beaten up. A friend recommended this product to me called ShieldZone.

These guys invented this thin material to protect helicopter blades. They call it the invisible shield. Then one day they got the idea to apply it to a ipod. It's see-through, in fact it even makes the ipod "shiny". Yet it is super strong. You can't tear it, you pretty much have to cut it. When it's on your ipod you can beat your ipod up with your car keys and yet it won't bear a scratch mark. It is really amazing stuff. Don't believe me? Watch the videos of demonstrations they've done. They take two ipods and put them in a paper bag along with some car keys. One of the ipods is protected, the other isn't. Then they shake the bag vigorously. Needless to say when they come out the one ipod is covered with scratches. The protected one looks brand new.

The only bad thing about the shield is that they are die cut with a laser to fit your equipment. So they have little holes where buttons go, where the headphone jack is, etc. You have to apply the shield yourself so it can take a couple of tries to get it to align right. In fact i might even suggest buying 2 so you can feel free to remove it and try it again.

ShieldZone also makes invisible shields for cell phones, that cover the cell phone screen and unprotected areas of the phone. They even had one for my Blackjack (which was difficult to apply, the ipod one was much easier to apply.)

I highly recommend these guys.
