Now, thanks to technology used to protect the helicopter blades for the U.S. military, you can. The InvisibleSHIELD, a thin, tough, transparent film, permanently protects electronic devices and their LCD screens from scratches. Advantages: While most products of this ilk rely on static-cling plastic, the InvisibleSHIELD's urethane plastic seals to the device with a special application spray. It also comes with a lifetime warranty. Shields are available for more than 1,000 electronic devices, and custom orders are also accepted. Limitations: Installation is a bit tricky, especially if you're applying a full-body shield, available for many devices such as iPods, which are often shiny or scratchable on all sides. Watch the installation video online before making your purchase to see if you're up to the challenge. Your device must stay turned off a recommended 24 hours after installation to give the shield time to dry. Cost: Prices vary by coverage. The iPod Touch shield (pictured) costs $14.95 for front coverage and $24.95 for full coverage, plus shipping, if ordered online. Where: This flagship product line of Salt Lake City-based Zagg Inc. is available at various retailers, including independent Apple stores and online at www.shieldzone.com.
