Shattered and cracked screens are a leading cause for device repair and replacement. InvisibleShield HDX adds a thin component layer of extreme shock absorption to smartphone screens, for three times the shatter protection than that of even industry-leading engineered products.

According to the results of ZAGG's 2014 Device Damage Report, dropping a smartphone or tablet is a leading concern for device owners. Up to 70 percent of smartphone owners damage their devices at some point, and 64 percent of damage to tablets comes as a result of dropping or scratching. The average repair or replacement cost for these devices was reported at $144, leading to 48 percent of smartphone users and 27 percent of tablet users currently using a damaged smartphone or tablet.

The larger displays of tablet computers present an even greater risk of scratched or shattered screens, and tablets are damaged more often than phones when dropped. The InvisibleShield HDX provides unrivaled protection and clarity, and helps promote mobile productivity.

All InvisibleShield products will now feature the new EZ Apply™ tabs to help make application simple and accurate. Each InvisibleShield product is designed specifically to accommodate the shape of the device and offers access to all openings and features.
