Protective Solutions Announces invisibleSHIELD for the Apple iPod with Video

New Transparent Covering Protects Video-Enabled iPods from Scratching

Salt Lake City, October 25, 2005 — Salt Lake City-based Protective Solutions, Inc., a developer of protective coverings for handheld electronic devices, today announced the invisibleSHIELD™ for the new video-enabled Apple® iPod. The invisibleSHIELD™ is a transparent film covering that protects iPods from dust and dirt particles that can scratch and damage the devices, without detracting from the elegant iPod design.


“iPod users want form as well as function,” said Phillip Chipping, president, Protective Solutions, Inc. "Other cases are bulky and conceal the well-designed form of the iPod, plus they can cause damage to the iPod, since users have to constantly remove and restore their devices in the case.

“The invisibleSHIELD™ is different. It forms an invisible, protective barrier that won’t take away from the iPod’s design. And, unlike cases, there’s no constant removing the covering, so the protection is always there,” Chipping said.

With the invisibleSHIELD™ in place, users can still attach and use all their iPod accessories, including docking stations, speakers and more, without having to remove the film, thus protecting the device at all times. The invisibleSHIELD™ is so thin, it adds no distinguishable bulk to the iPod device. The product has a suggested retail price of $24.95 and is available through www.theinvisibleshield.com. All invisibleSHIELD™ coverings come with a 30-day, money-back guarantee, plus a lifetime warranty -- the only one of its kind on the market for iPod cases and covers.

More information about the invisibleSHIELD™ as well as product demonstrations and photos can be found at the invisibleSHIELD™ Web site (www.theinvisibleshield.com). Editorial samples are also available for review.

Formed in March 2005, Salt Lake City-based Protective Solutions, Inc. discovered it could use a film originally created to protect the leading edges of helicopter blades to also protect handheld electronic devices. Since then, Protective Solutions has introduced 200 products to protect iPods, PDAs, cell phones, GPSs, watch faces, and other handheld devices.
