The Zagg invisible shields are worth the money - the peau d'Orange texture smooths out after a few days and becomes shiny and unobtrusive - the slight resistive texture also smooths out with use - I don't even notice that I have a screen protector hardly - I've used Zaggs to replace my previous screen protection for my previous 3 cell phones, for my 4 ipods, for 2 of my ipod touches, for my Kindle2 & Kindle DX. I've tried about 10 different types of protectors including skinomis, ghost shields, etc. before settling on the Zaggs as the best. I have no financial or any other connection with Zagg & I could care less which ones you choose, but if you're going for the protection, I'd suggest you try Zagg and not try to cheap out. I also have the 2 year SquareTrade warranty & seriously considered going naked but my previous experience with screen nudity has not been good - one could scratch from a coin etc. ruins the screen forever & you end up staring at the ceiling at night pained by the thought of it.
