Are the Zagg coupons stackable? I'm ordering three items and have a 30% discount -- are other discounts applicable to this total or does only one apply?
Probably doesn't belong in the Flea Market, but here goes.
I got my iPhone yesterday, and my Invisible Shield today. I put it on about an hour ago. It's not easy. Luckily I had done a few others before. This was the toughest of all. The corners just did not want to cooperate.
Anyway, here's my advice to those who are undertaking this endeavor.
Make sure you have a lot of good light. A goose neck desklamp, or even better one of those magnifying glass lamps.
Take it slow.
Be patient. Really PATIENT. I thought my corners were hosed, but I just stuck with it, kept pushing them down, sorting them out. It all worked out. It's never perfect, but I'm really happy with how mine came out.
If you're not happy with the lining up early on, take it off, wet it again and start over. Small areas like the corners will work themselves out, but if you've got a major alignment problem, get it off and fix it before it starts to adhere too much.
I could use one of those codes, too :-)
I'd love one of the Zagg discount codes. To be honest, I've lost track of who has one left and who doesn't. If anyone does have one left, please contact me via email. I'll acknowledge in the forum (by editing this message) when I receive one, to avoid duplicates.
Thanks!

I don't mean to hijack the thread but you probably don't need a coupon if you order from www.bestskinsever.com. Check their FAQ and they claim they are the exact same material and considerably cheaper.
For instance, iPhone total body from Zagg is $24.95. From Bestskinsever it is $7.99. Big difference. Thought some of you might want to know about this.

Looks interesting. They offer the same kind of guarantee? Although at that price I'm not sure it's all that necessary.
Funny thing is, it probably costs them $.30 to make the damn things!
Bestskinsever
I received my BestSkinsEver for my Blackberry. I paid $6.99 for a full body kit. It arrived in a business envelope, an instruction sheet and the skin itself. Very minimal and without fuss...just what I expect for $6.99.
The skin for the Blackberry 8130 are actually 6 pieces, the largest being the back. Instructions tell you to make up some soapy water and dip the skin in. My first attempt (on an iPod) showed I didn't have enough soap, so when I did the Blackberry, I added a good sized squirt, and it helped a great deal.
The skins can be tedious to put on, you must line it up right, and get the right amount of lubrication on it, but you get the hang of it. its easy to peel off and start again, at least in the first few minutes. Afterwards, removing stretches the skin, causing it to be destroyed.
Once on, you really can not tell it is there. The device feels different, for sure, but there is no reflection problems etc. A great deal, I suggest you go out and buy them.
I respectfully disagree with Andy: this is worth it. It may not be worth $25, but certainly worth $7. And it does prevent scratches very well. I have no worries tossing my phone and keys in my pocket. My iPod got scratched terribly as a result, but I have put a skin over it now, to avoid it getting worse.
ps: I actually ordered the screen cover for the Blackberry,rather than the full body kit, by mistake. I clicked the wrong part. When the skins arrived, I quickly discovered my mistake, and emailed Bestskinsever to ask if they could sell me the 'rest' of the Blackberry skin kit or if I should reorder. Their reply: replacement skin is in the mail. They sent me a whole body kit, without comment...and this was entirely my fault! So, yes, I will buy again, and yes, I recommend them!
Comments
If anyone still has a code, I would appreciate one. You can email me.
Thanks
Welcome to dgin!
Since there are multiple people w/ codes. It's probably better if you contact someone specific via Private Message (PM).
This helps avoid confusion when multiple people are going after the same thing.
All the best,
