The first major problem is that unless the application is perfect, the plastic can bunch together and actually make the phone look like it has dents and/or scratches. Next, the piece that covers the face is just too "grippy" for a touch-screen phone. I found it difficult to move my fingers as they kept sticking to the surface coating. It wasn't impossible to use, but it definitely detracted from the original sensitivity of a truly "naked" iphone. And let's face it - the beauty of an iphone lies in that amazingly smooth and slick screen. I would recommend invisibleshield if you have a device that does not have a touch-screen, because it is a good product in theory, but it's not a good addition for the iphone 3g. Save $10 and buy one of the anti-glare coatings from the apple store. I bought an InvisibleSheild for my iphone 3g and I ripped it off about 2 days later.

You get the impression from the website its an easy 5 minute job, but in reality it takes a good 20-30 minutes of sheer concentration, a steady hand and bucket loads of patience. The front i found to be quite easy to install, though much to my horror, i found that when i removed the shield because the alignment wasnt correct, it collected dust, bits of cotton, tissue, hair, any sort of impossibly small yet annoyingly visible debris. The back section i found to be a waste of time and money. It took almost 3 hours for me to align it correctly, probably due to my shaky hands and nerves at potentially screwing up an expensive investment. The corners didnt stick properly, creased like you said, and it would appear that the cutouts for the volume controls and headphone socket are either to small, or so precisely cut that unless the shield is applied dead straight, spirit level in hand, it covers part of the opening. Ive ended up buying myself a hard case, with a plastic sheet cover for the screen. This is a big dissapointment, not so much because i spent I bought the invisible shield from carphone warehouse like yourself, and again like yourself, i found the installation a pain!

It took a good 20 minutes of very careful work to get it on right, but has lasted very well and is utterly bombproof.

You really do need to be very careful with the install, and having wet hands is a must so it doesn't stick to you.
