just ordered it. Will let you all know what I think of it. Currently using the Martinfields. Spent a little extra based on reviews on this site. I actually think it is overated. The glare is something fierce.

i have this. i submitted a review, but it didn't show up. does anyone know why?
+
I have removed it and put it back on 3 times now. Wiping it off with a little water and soap and it leaves zero residue behind. The small bit of water/soap seems to be the catalyst that makes the stickyness go away from anything it touches as well as the shield itself. And yes once it dries it's on the extremely securely (not lifting on the edges at all).

Ok I have mine installed and have been using it now for a little while. It looks sweet and seem to be tough as nails. I got the one that covers the whole top not just the screen and I have had some problems with it causing problems with the Anolog stick. I took a tiny piece of paper and put it under the nub to raise it up slightly and it works sweet now. Personally if I had it to do again I would have only got the one that covers the screen but I do feel like it is going to be protected now. I did have to peel up the protecter a few times during the install before I was happy with it so it took about 30 min to get right. Now it is on almost perfect and I am happy with it.

I got mine in the mail yesterday. I haven't had time to apply it yet. I'm going to tomorrow; my Hori from launch has seen better days.

 Own it
I bought one of these a week ago and they are very nice. There is no glare and it doesn't mess up the way your screen looks or anything. The only downside though is it not fitting into my logitech case.

ive went thought a lot of those screen protectors i m thinkin about getting one of these but can dust get into it and can you take it off and put it back on

So being that the screen protector is designed to last for only 5 years, and also taking into consideration that it is said to destroy whatever is under the film once taken off after having been dried, what will actually happen to your PSPs after 5 years when the screen protector is no good anymore? The screen protector CAN be damaged too; with enough force, any sharp object will eventually scratch or puncture such a material (This is not just my own assumption; I've read several comments on other websites where their protectors were damaged from sharp objects). So in addition to the 5 year life expectancy of the product (which, when coupled with the PSP, will in turn also render your PSP a mere 5 year life expectancy), if you accumulate any scratches on the material, you'll just have to deal with them for the rest of the PSPs operable life, as removing the material will damage your PSP.
Sounds like an illogical risk. I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to stick with removable protective screens. I had a bad feeling about that product and website from the start; it's obvious they purposely left out such negative information about their product (that it cannot be removed without seriously damaging the PSP).

Wait wait wait......why would someone have a problem with putting this in your Playgear case? I mean...its freaking .008 inches thick.....i mean would that thickness stop the playgear from closing?

the product is designed to last for 5 years, it could possibly last longer.
also taking into consideration that it is said to destroy whatever is under the film once taken off after having been dried
Panther said that he can remove and apply the screen protector a few times. the screen protector couldn't have damaged his psp, otherwise he would have noted so.

anything can be cosmetically damaged.

the warranty of the product staes that if it becomes scratched, you can have it replaced. removing this product won't damage your psp.

i saw one on another website that looks kind of like this but it snaps on the psp

What Panther was referring to was that he removed it and reapplied it several times within the first day (maybe few days) of use, and thus the InvisibleShield would not be entirely dried. If he were to have left it on for several months, and then decided to take it off, that would be a very different story.
Furthermore, according to KillerTHO, It totally torches anything it touches...
anything can be cosmetically damaged.
This was exactly my point being that, according to other members on this comments board, it damages your PSP after taking it off.

I have the Logitec case and it fits in my case just like it always did with the screen protecter on. I doubt that the protecter does anything to the PSP after removing it becase they would be liable for damage after stating that it doesn't on thier site. Also it seems that the protecter is a perminant thing anyway and is very tuff stuff. I suppose you could damage it but it would be difficult and if you did your PSP would most likely be broke from whatever you did anyway. Sharp objects I guess with enough force could penetrate it but not easily thats for sure. I personally dont have sharp objects near my PSP anyway. I would highly recommend this to anyone with a PSP. The only two problems I have found with it were the Anolog stick on mine caught on it and I had to make a small mod to my nub to clear it and the fact that the protecter does cover up the two speaker air holes near the bottom of the PSP cause the speakers to be quieter. In the picture it shows these holes cut out but in fact they weren't on mine. No big deal for me as I always use head phones but if you don't use head phones I would consider the one that just covers the screen.
+
O crap I just looked at my PSP real close. I have to revise my ealier statement and say that the speaker holes do have a cut out. It is just so small I could barly see it. I didnt remove the pieces when I installed it. lol O well I guess its no biggy but when you install yours make sure to look real close to pop out the holes. They are very hard to see.
+
do you have to worry about squeezing out air bubbles when applying this?
