The invisibleSHIELD(TM) is created from an exclusive, ultra-tough patented film originally designed for the U.S. military to protect helicopter blades from wind, sand and the wear and tear of high-speed travel. Combining this military-grade scratch protection with precision-cut designs, the invisibleSHIELD allows customers to use their electronics without the fear of scratches or nicks.
The ZAGGaudio(TM) line of digital media accessories includes the award-winning Z.buds in-ear headphones; the original ZAGGphones, their premium quality, full-size headphones; as well as USB Laptop Speakers, which are highly portable speakers powered and connected via a USB port.
