My review of full body protectors
they all suck!
ive has IS, bodygaurds and that cheap one, and none attach to the phone fully, id rather go naked on the back and have any front screen protector.
they are all a scam, they may fit but ive had 2 shipments of all 3 and none want to attach fully, the back is to curved on the corners to make them fit properly
im over having it in my rebelcapsule also, its a iphone not a fatphone
the only front screen ptotecors i would say are good are the antiglare ones at the apple "apple" stores
end of rant. (:

Hence why I don't buy cases/screen protectors/pouches/sleeves etc. - if Apple wanted me to use the iPhone like that, they'd have given me one in the box  |

Has anyone been able to get them to stick with no issues and no bubbles?

I have!!!
I had a Zagg one given to me and then i removed it and put on a bodyguards one and they work great! no bubbles and sticks around the corners perfectly.
The trick is.................... Glad (cling) Wrap! I would have never been able to do it otherwise!
Stick the back on and squeeze away the bubbles, then lay out some glad wrap and put the phone down on it and stretch the glad wrap around each corner first and pull tight.
I had mine wrapped mine in 2 layers of glad wrap for 10 mins, removed it and all corners were perfect!
Give it a try. and I prefer Zagg.....personally.
ohh and the screen protector can go in the bin! it's pointless everyone knows the screen does not scratch.

Funny you guys say this...
I was just in the Store checking out cases.. and I was well unimpressed of all...
on this I agree with decryption.. no case for me... as an extra note.. I will be buying the mophie when it is released (google it) and a case will just make the mophie impractical.... |

Actually funny this thread came up. I DROPPED my iphone on the weekend - was on my lap in the car and I forget and it bounced on the door sill and on to gravel.
I have a capsule rebel case on my black iPhone.
There was not a scratch on it let alone the iPhone inside.
I am very thankful that I had it on and will not be taking it off until they release an new gen iPhone - so I ave a reason to upgrade
But seriously, it is not that bulky and can save some angst. |

Cheers for the tip - will be handy when I put on my IS - after I get my iPhone, that is |

I have a Griffin Wave Case, and it seems to work quite well. Provides decent protection (haven't tried to drop it on purpose to test it!!). Only annoyance is that dirt does get between the front plastic cover and the glass screen. I'm considering going naked in front.
looobz - I'm not game to see if the glass screen will scratch or not when it comes in contact with metal (pens, keys etc).

My wife has a pink Griffin Wave - one day after I put it on, she dropped her iPhone from a height of about 1.5 m - no scratch, iPhone still working fine. All I can say is thank God the case was on.

You don't think that chunky tumor will make the phone impractical as is? |

I've seen White, Hot Pink, and 'Smoky Grey' at Beyond the Box in Moonee Ponds, Melbourne.

I purchased Invisible shield for my iPhone for the front and back. 3 weeks on I pulled the back off and just kept the front. I agree, the curved edges make it pretty much impossible to cover it 100%
I'm happy with my front shield. And having a white phone, you can't see smudges/scratches on the phone anyways.
