I put the full body invisible shield (IS) on my nano about 36 hours ago and I'm pleased with it. The biggest problem with IS is they look crappy for the first few hours because of the moisture underneath and little bubbles that don't squeegee out. I was especially concerned about that with this device because the screen is slightly recessed from the aluminum. After applying the IS, there were voids/bubbles around the perimeter of the screen. Now the moisture is completely gone, yielding a smooth crystal clear glossy surface. The bubbles around the screen are almost completely gone too. I'd say in another day, it will be 100% bubble free. If it weren't for the glossy shine, you'd have to look close to see that there's anything there.
My only complaint would be the tactile feel. It has a slightly tacky, rubbery texture to it. Applying the IS is a bit daunting too because there aren't any good edges to really start from to try to apply the thing straight, and despite claims that you can slide it around until its in position, I found that it started sticking almost immediately. In the end, though I took my time and got a very good fit. I had left my nano untouched after purchase until the IS arrived and then did the mirrored back first while it was still pristine. Then I took a break to allow the back corners to get stuck well, and came back later to do the center button, click wheel, and front face.
I carried the nano to work today in my pants pocket with a bunch of change and didn't think twice about damaging it.

I have an invisible shield on my 5.5g 30GB Ipod and it has orange-skin texture, do they still look like that or have they made them better?
