Figure 13: Applying the invisibleSHIELD Spray

Spray the included liquid onto both sides of the protective film. Putting liquid on both sides allows you to slide the film around on the surface of the gadget/LCD screen until you get it into the right position, and then use the squeegee on the outer side to squeeze out any air bubbles.

Don't worry about the excess liquid: the fluid on the underside of the screen protector will dry, and the fluid on the outside will be squeegeed off.

Figure 15: Using the Squeegee

Use the included rubber squeegee to push out any air bubbles.

As an added bonus, the protective film has a slightly 'sticky' feel to it, making it easier to grip and use the touch screen.

Figure 16: Applesauce Polish

InvisibleSHIELD also sells an iPod restoration kit called "Applesauce Polish". The kit includes:

• One bottle of Microfinishing Polish (red) for the front and back
• One bottle of Microfinishing Glaze (blue) for the front after glazing
• Three 6" x 8" polishing cloths

The kit is designed to restore the iPod to its original shine and remove any scratches and blemishes from the plastic front, display, and metal back.

Figure 17: Apply the Polish & Glaze

Apply a small amount of the Applesauce polish to the polishing cloth and rub it into the surface of the iPod using small, circular motions. Repeat the same process with the Applesauce Glaze.

Figure 18: Applying the Applesauce to an iPod

It can take several applications of Applesauce polish and glaze before removing the scratches and swirls from the iPod's surface. I found the Applesauce worked moderately well for minor scratches, but wasn't all that effective at repairing major wear and tear.

Figure 19: The Finished Product

It took some time and work, but Applesauce was effective at restoring some of the original shine to my iPod.

InvisibleSHIELD costs about the same as other protective carrying cases, but adds no weight or bulk to the device. It can be removed at any time without damaging the equipment (simply peal it off when you no longer want it). The mysterious, stretchy clear plastic material has a nice grippy (almost sticky) feel to it that makes touchscreens easier to use and devices easier to hold. Even better, the material is scratch-proof, tear-proof, and can be stretched under hundreds of pounds of pressure without breaking.

Applying invisibleSHIELD is an unusual process that takes some getting used to, but it's not hard once you get the hang of it.
