The thing about the corners not sticking is the reason you are supposed to leave the device alone for 24 hours.

In this 24 hours the corners somehow stick as well as the bubbles seem to magically disappear.

Guess I'll find out in the long run as I haven't heard on anyone having this problem so far.

Hmm, sure enough, these points are peeling up. Not too bad but I'm sure it will get worse over time.
I wonder if the official word from Shield Zone is "don't holster your Blackberry if you have an Invisibile Shield"?

That certainly looks like a good protector. Being full body I'd be interested to see how it survives over time.

Yeah, I know they're the same material.
But for some reason, I found that the adhesive sticks more firmly and quickly with BestSkinsEver. The InvisibleShield pieces (for me) did not stick to the device as easily as the BestSkinEver did. Just my own experience.

anyone know if these or any other shields will fit the 8703e?

I got too frustrated trying to apply the invisible shield, even when liberally using the spray they provided. The corner pieces just wouldnt stick, so I abandoned the effort after a couple of hours, and waited for my Best Skins Ever to arrive. Much better luck with the application of those.

Go watch the instructional video on how to get the corners done. Spraying it alot only made it worse.

Yeah, I watched the video:
ShieldZone - Home of the iPod Screen Protector: Installation
It didnt mention what to do about corners? Maybe I saw the wrong video. But the only two installation videos I saw on their site were for the iPod and PDAs. I watched the one for the PDAs before I purchased it. I really just covered how to apply it to the screen of a device.

Is there another video up on their site which covers how to do a full body installation?

Another great thing about Invisible Shields: They give the device a tacky feel, instead of the slipperiness of the plastic. I think it feels much better in your hand and makes it much less likely that you will drop your BB.

Invisible Shield's are a must have. I told a friend to get one, and he described it, aptly, as a condom for the BB. Protection you can't live without.

I'm basing it off the iPod video.

In order to get the corners, let the unit sit for a minute or two to let the solution to dry up a bit, this will allow the vinyl to be a bit sticky, making it easier to stick onto the corners/sides. Use the palm of your hand if you must mold the vinyl (via body heat) to get a good smooth curve.
