I don't like scratches and I like to be able to keep the resale value of them up so I can better recoup my investment when I decide to get a new toy. Since Invisible Shield and Best Skins Ever didn't have their skins out yet for the Bold 9700, I decided to give Clear Coat a try. At the same price point as Zagg's Invisible Shield, I was hoping for something as close to that as possible in terms of experience. I found that the cut sheets were a bit too small when compared to Invisible Sheild or BSE, who tends to make them a bit bigger so you're sure to cover every square millimeter with a tiny chance of overlap. These Clear Coat skins were just a bit small. As for installation, it's rather straight forward and comes with the adhesive material and a rubber device to smooth out bubbles and help lay the pieces down neater. When you get bleeding edge products, you sort of have to realize you'll be paying the premium for bleeding edge accessories. That I don't mind because it would have been the same cost as Zagg's Invisible Shield and a bit more expensive than BSE. As for the overall product. . . it works, but I'm not in love with it. But I'm sure I'll be happy down the road when my screen isn't scratched up because I forgot that I left my keys or change in the same pocket as my phone.

It provides scratch protection for nearly the entire body of the phone. I strongly suggest that you watch the product demo in the company's website ([. . . ]) before using the product. The installation process for the Blackberry can be tiresome since there are a number of pieces that need to be applied to the blackberry due to its design. But after the mini weeknight project applying the product, I feel confident that my phone is not going to get a scratch anywhere. If you mess up the application process, the company "[. . . ]" will provide a replacement for free (only catch, you pay for shipping). Their website provides more information pertaining to the product. They also provide full body protection for a wide range of electronics.

I didn't like any of the cases I saw, and the regular ones typically collect a lot of lint and require cleaning often. So, I thought this would be a great idea since I like the design and look of the phone. The product can be a little intimidating when you open the packaging, but it was very easy! I like that it applies and just blends in with the phone. While putting it on the phone I was worried about the bubbles around the corners and rounded edges, but if you just wait a moment or two, let the solution work and then press down, it adheres perfectly. I'll buy this for every phone I get in the future and highly recommend. Rating: 5 / 5 I’m rough on my phones and decided to buy the Blackberry Bold 9700.
