There are plenty of choices when it comes to screen and body protection for your electronic devices and I think I’ve tried them all.  Clear Coat might just be the best of the bunch.

What is Clear Coat?  Here’s how the company describes it.

Simply put, Clear-Coat is the only protection you’ll need for your devices. Forget those awkward, ugly cases! Clear-Coat keeps your device scratch-free without adding bulk or changing the look of your device. Clear-Coat is meticulously designed in-house, and then custom cut for every device. So an iPhone Clear-Coat fits the iPhone perfectly, and a Blackberry Clear-Coat fits the Blackberry perfectly. We design Clear-Coat to fit over almost every part of the device – so you get protection everywhere – on the screen, sides, front, and back!

How thin is Clear-Coat? Less than 1/100th of an inch, that’s how thin! Most people can’t even notice it on their device, and it will not interfere with docks, cases, or accessories – it’s like it isn’t even there!

I recently spent some time with Clear Coat and walked away very impressed.  Their shields are the clearest of any I’ve seen and they do not suffer from what’s commonly referred to as the “Orange Peel” effect.  The shape of the shields, which mirrors the natural contour of your device, makes installation a snap.

What’s even more incredible is the guarantee Clear Coat offers.  Each shield comes with a 30-day money back guarantee.  If you don’t like the product you may return it for a full refund within 30-days of purchase.  This isn’t all that uncommon. What is though is how Clear Coat extends their offer.  If after 30-days you are unhappy with the look of your shield send it back and they’ll send you a new one.

Worried that you’ll mess up the install?  The screen kit comes with two shields so you’ll have two tried to get it right.  If you can’t, send it back and they’ll send you a new one.

If you get it installed properly and then find three weeks later something’s happened to the shield, send it back and they’ll send you a new one.

If you live near one of their mall kiosk carts simply take the shield in and they’ll replace it for you there, right on the spot.

Incredible!  Who offers that type of guarantee?

Clear Coat is available two ways.  Full Body protection for $24.99 or Screen only for $14.99.

You can order directly from the Clear Coat web site or visit one of their mall kiosks where one of their install professionals will skin your phone for you.  Install costs an extra $5 for the shield and $10 for the full body.
