invisibleSHIELD, made by Zagg, is the military-grade, scratch-proof, stain-resistant protective clear film that has been protecting our beloved gadgets for a few years now, but was previously only available in the United States. That didn’t stop Aussies from buying them, of course; their solid reputation and previous free shipping options were pretty hard to resist.

With the economy the way it is right now, it’s getting a little expensive to buy gear from the U.S. and that makes us all a bit sad. Fortunately for us, invisibleSHIELD protectors are now available in Australia at www.invisibleSHIELD.com.au.

There’s an entire range of clear films for over 2000 devices; anything from mobile phones and mp3 players to gaming consoles, laptops, and even watches. Plus, each invisibleSHIELD also has a lifetime warranty and will be replaced for free if it is ever scratched or damaged. It sure makes me feel confident about a product when its creators are just oozing with confidence about it as well.

I have tried the invisibleSHIELD, having purchased one a while ago for my iPod Touch. It’s super thin, crystal clear, and pretty darn tough. However, installing it isn’t the easiest task in the world; it comes with a bottle of ‘SHIELD spray’ that you spray on the adhesive side of the film before placing it on the device. You then smooth out the film with the included squeegee whilst trying to remove all the air bubbles. Then you have to get the corners to stick by holding them down with the palm of your hand for 30 to 60 seconds, after which you must set the device aside for 24 hours to dry out. That last part is probably the hardest of all, particularly with new gadgets that seem to be magnetically attracted to hands.

All the effort and a few frustrations definitely pay off, though, because the end results are pretty amazing. My iPod Touch is fully protected, yet still looks as sleek as if it was completely naked. The visibility of the screen isn’t affected in any way other than a slight rippled texture when viewed in direct light, and it even helps to reduce fingerprints on the screen. The only reason it would need to be enclosed in a case is to protect it from drops. It hasn’t scratched yet and I’m fairly confident it never will with normal use, and possibly even with abnormal abuse.

Like many others, I’m pretty thrilled with the invisibleSHIELD, and definitely recommend it for top quality protection for your gadgets. You can order yours for your favourite devices from the new Australian invisibleSHIELD website.

For those of you who already own the invisibleSHIELD, what are you thoughts on it, and how has it protected your devices?
