PhoneDevil Magic Screen protector: Crystal Clear edition – For Apple iPhone 3G & iPhone 3GS
I previously had an iPhone 3G with an invisibleShield screen protector, and my experience with that was that it was tough as nails and impossible to scratch… but the protector itself was not crystal clear and changed the feel of the touchscreen. Good, but not perfect.
So when I upgraded my phone, I thought I’d give the PhoneDevil a try since a) it has much better reviews, b) it’s cheaper, and c) the reviews indicated that the protector was clearer and smoother than the invisibleShield.
Application was a breeze — though I wouldn’t necessarily say it was easier the invisibleShield. With this one, initial application was easier since you didn’t have to mess with a spray bottle and the messy liquid. However, you don’t get the ability to adjust it once it’s applied since it doesn’t slide at all after applying. So, pros and cons to both application methods.
The protector is indeeed crystal clear and once applied, it maintains the same smoothness and tactile feel as iPhone’s touchscreen (unlike the IS). Unfortunately, the cover got scratched up the first day in my pocket. I accept some responsibility as I had a quarter and a penny in my pocket with the iPhone — I didn’t pay much attention since I was used to the IS, which is well-nigh indestructible. So lesson learned for me regarding how scratch proof the PhoneDevil is… not nearly as scratch-proof as the invisibleShield. I’m trying to decide whether to replace with IS or PhoneDevil or move onto a third brand of screen protector.
