Well i got my invisible shield today, took me and hour to PERFECTLY apply it, then as i looked at it b4 i was leaving i noticed it was very solid and seemed completely dry. Feeling gutsy i turned on the iPod and tried moving the shield around. I did squeegee out almost all of the water under the shield b4 letting it sit for 2 hours, but still do you think it could possibly be dry, it really appears to be and before leaving i threw it in my pocket and used it normally(actually harsher than normal cuz i love the protection the IS promises) and i sit here and it is absolutely perfect. So is something going to get messed up in the long run, did i squeegee out an amazing amount of drying time, or is the 24 hour rule just bull####....i would like to know what you think.
