Sheer Strength

Amidst swirling rumours that Rogers Communications may begin carrying the Apple iPhone in Canada as early as this month, you might have already begun a countrywide search for the ultimate protective case – so you’re ready to roll when your gadget arrives. Well look no further! For years, in-the-know techies have been quietly guarding their goods with the InvisibleSHIELD. This crystal-clear, scratch-resistant film provides the toughest and most inconspicuous protection for your iPod/cellphone/PDA/camera/laptop – it literally is invisible after you put it on. Its claim to fame is that it was originally developed for protecting military helicopter blades from damage caused by dirt and debris at high speeds. Farfetched as that sounds, one look at these user-created YouTube videos had me convinced that InvisibleSHIELD would indeed do the trick. I’ve had my own iPod classic sheathed for nearly two years now, and I never have to worry when I throw it into my purse along with my keys.
