"Well, its been day 3 with this thing on and i have to say...all the
bubbles are gone. But so is the entire shield. I cant stand how
rubbery it made the screen feel and how cheap the G1 felt in your hand
as you typed or just used it through out the day. I might re-vise the
review cause it is really just taking away from the basic functions of
the phone." -- http://www.androidforums.com/accessories/1257-g1-invisibleshield-review-updated-pics.html#post7231

"I was at the mall yesterday and saw a stand for invisible shield. I
decided to get it and was only charged $20 for the full body shield
plus installation. After a day with it I'm not happy with it and I am
seriously considering taking it back to get my money back. I HATE the
rubbery feel to it. Too much friction between ur finger and the touch
screen. "

+ve:
"Those of you complaining about the Rubbery feel that adds friction.
It goes away with time. I've had the Invisible shield screen-only
protector on my phone for over a month and it no longer gives
resistance on the screen, and hasn't for a few weeks now. Fingers
glide across this just like with the factory shield."

"FYI, I've had an invisible shield on my phone for several months now.
No orange peel at all.

Also, the "stickiness" people have encountered is only true if the
screen is completely dry and clean and your hands are completely dry
and clean a problem you would encountered with most plastic objects
that are clean and dry with clean and dry hands. The natural oils your
skin produces on a regular basis prevent that stickiness." (By the
same commenter as above 00 has 843 posts, i.e. not some first-time
poster).

Other products that don't have touchscreen issues:
"Instead of these, get the Best Skins Ever..

They are the same thing, just less orange-peel effect. Also they don't
include fancy packaging and the spray (Make it yourself with water +
soap) but they are like 5$ a pop

Getting them when I get my phone, will have a review

Or Bodyguardz.
They are very smooth and feel AMAZING to the touch, better than original screen.

(I tried both on my iPhone 3G) "

Search for more reviews if you wish :)
