ZAGG Invisible Shield Extreme - Is it worth it? Does it live up to the "indestructible" hype? We're about to find out...

So, we've all seen the "millions sold..." major screen protector manufacturer ZAGG claim many accolades about it's previous screen protectors, but this time it's getting real. Very real. In the past, the hype was usually about it's "nano-memory" scratch-resistant plastic-film screen protectors being über scratch resistant; but Impact-resistant?!? Can it be?!? Well, we're going to find out in the video, but the short answer is yes. I don't really want to spoil it for you, though, so you'll just have to watch the video to find out for yourself... ;-)

So, what did we find out in the video? It actually stood up against a hammer? Yep, it did. I must say, I was very impressed once my iPhone 5 didn't shatter under the impact; I was holding my breath. It stood it very well, and if you want extra proof, here's another insane video showing the ZAGG Extreme withstanding a bit more than you'd expect to put a phone through...

So, after watching those few videos, what do YOU think? Personally, I know very well what my impressions and thoughts are. Impressed. Amazed. Shocked. First thing we know about the ZAGG, is that it is most certainly impact resistant, and should keep your iPhone from a cracked screen. So, here's my in-depth analysis.

Pros:

• Very impact resistant; can withstand a hammer, a drop onto concrete, and supposedly, even a bowling ball.
• Has a huge 45 day money back guarantee if bought on the ZAGG website, so if you really don't like it, you can just send it back.
• Has an enormous Lifetime Guarantee (Warranty) so you can get a replacement for the $3.99 it costs to ship the free replacement, or even choose a different one of their screen protectors (HD, Original, etc.) as the replacement for no extra charge.
• Great customer service!

Cons:

• Slightly plastic-like feel to it, but not as bad as the original Invisible Shield
• Only partly good at scratch resistance, but other than blunt objects, like keys, or small rocks, it will not stand up to a knife, or very sharp object
• Costs a significant $29.99 for just the front protector, which is $2 bucks more than the SGP GLAS.t Premium screen protector (the best one on the market for clarity and feel at the moment, due to it being made out of a sheet of tempered, impact resistant glass)
• Wet application is slightly dangerous when on an electronic device

Well, there are my thoughts on the ZAGG Extreme!
