Coming from someone who learned the hard way that glass, even on something as small as the iPod nano, can be easily shattered the importance of a screen protector is immeasurable. So for my second ride on the roller coaster I decided to play it safe and get a screen protector for my iPod. Now as a preface it is important to note that I am using the iPod as a watch (LunaTik band) so it is all the more exposed to all sorts of rough situations.
Application
Overall the guards are a cinch to install. BodyGuardz provides everything you need to install their products will the ultimate ease. Items like microfiber clothes, application solution and a squeegee are all included in the package. As far as actually applying the screen protectors, it is as simple as cleaning your screen, spraying some solution, and squeegeeing your screen protector on. Now, if you have ever applied a wet-install screen protector before you know how much easier it is to reorient before it dries and how much easier that makes the whole process. Also, don’t worry if you aren’t the best at applying screen protectors because BodyGuardz includes two sets of screen protectors so you can either cover two iPod nanos or have a back-up for later.
The Result
Now because these protectors are wet-installed, for the first few hours up to the first day you will see a hazy look to your screen. This will eventually fade away, it is just the excess water evaporating from under your screen protector. So the picture to the right is immediately following the application and you can see what I am talking about. Though the haze does eventually (in about a day) go away the scratches left by the squeegee are a whole different story. Now to get air bubbles out a significant, retrospectively speaking, amount of pressure is needed yet when this force is exerted it creates light hairline scratches on the surface of the protector. Have you ever wondered why every screen protector you buy has a top layer of film you peel off after you are, this is why. It strikes me as puzzling why BodyGuardz wouldn’t do the same.
Conclusion
BodyGuardz screen protectors are made to be some of the best in the market and for what it is worth they truly are. Yet, it is hard to overlook some of the simple and most importantly simple, problems that their team seems to have missed. Now, don’t get me wrong, I would suggest these covers to anybody with an iPod nano who doesn’t want it to look like a pile of hamburg in a year, yet there is always room for improvement.
