Will this really protect my Pearl from falls? Is this pretty much the "best" protection out there? I like how you can barely notice it.

Someone brought a old topic back to life!

Well, anyway, since someone did, I decided to comment what he said in his original post since I have Best Skins Ever and a Blackberry Skin Case for my phone.

Pros:
- Makes the Pearl more "grippier"

Well, probably so but not much or hardly at all. I got a Blackberry skin case and that works the best.

It depends on the person.

Cons:
- Not exactly the "perfect" fit but does a fairly great job

If you got everything correct and perfect than it will fit perfectly.

That's one of the disadvantage but I got a skin case so it doesn't matter.

That I disagree. It covers more than the Invisible Shield from Shield Zone.

Overall I would recommend this shield. It is approx. three times cheaper than ShieldZone granted ShieldZone has a lifetime warranty. I am not too worried about the uncovered areas because I already ordered a Seidio Jet Black Silicone Skin (hoping it arrives Tues/Wed).

When you look at the websites of the two it clearly shows that the invisibleShield covers more. Although the BSE is a better deal expecially if you are going to put another cover on it like many people are.

The BSE is a great product! Installing it on a phone with a lot of curves can be tricky and very time consuming but when all said and done it truly enhances the grip and protection of the phone! I recommend getting it even if you use a slip case to keep the face oil off the screen.

I tried to order skins for my 8130 and for my fiancee's Sansa E280 from Invisble shield. I really tried. Long boring story that ends a month later with my money being re-funded and nothing ever have been shipped. Based on this forum I decided to try BSE. I purchased 4 skins (for less than the two I had tried to get from the invisibles). They arrived 5 days later (that includes a weekend). Went on without much fuss [stop freaking out about using water will ya]. In the process BSE sent me the full skin instead of the screen only one I had paid for. I emailed them about it and they informed me that the screen only was the same cutout as it is on the full one and that I should just use that one. Or I can skin the whole thing at no extra $$. They were on the ball and helpful. These things are tough as nails and the company is responsive and fast. There was NO COMPARISON on customer service to the invisibles. I'll never stray.

That is all.

Was a little tough to get it positioned and to stick to the contours during the install, but has been working great for me for about a month so far, thanks for the review

Followed the instructions to a tee. Not bad, 8700C took about 15 minutes. I was careful to let each separate piece dry a little before installing the next. Looks nice but definitely doesn't cover 100%. The sides are uncovered. The pieces fit well. Now I just have to try to cut a custom piece to cover the extended battery cover which they do not make. Haven't tried to cut it yet but I'm wondering how to do it without stretching the material. Instructions recommend xacto knife and scissors.
DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED
Update***
Had a chance to contact BSE Customer Service via email and was very impressed. Got an answer within minutes and then follow up action within the hour. BSE Customer Service EXCEEDED my expectations. Not typical! Thank You BSE.
