ShieldZone iPod nano SHIELD Review

Topic:

Shieldzone asked me if I had a gadget that needed protection. I just had a black iPod nano lying around from one of our gadget model photo shoots and I thought I give an iPod nano Shield a try.

Quote:
"I used a sharp end of a paper clip, a screw driver, keys nothing left a scratch. The material is not hard, it is actually soft.

When you apply this on a wall, it can dampen the amount of WiFi, WiMax, or Bluetooth frequencies escaping into outside rooms, homes, or pesky spies parked outside in a black van."
