"Scratch-proof" skin for iPhone ships
BodyGuardz has introduced an allegedly scratch-proof, transparent skin for the iPhone. The company says the skin is manufactured from the same material used to protect the front of automobiles from stones and other abrasive elements. Note that this is not a protector for the iPhone's screen, but rather for the iPhone's body. The manufacturer says "BodyGuardz protective film is the toughest film on the market today and requires no special care or maintenance." The company has also posted a video demonstration for applying the protector on YouTube. Each pack includes two Complete BodyGuardz, and is priced at $25.

The BodyGuardz page & video clearly indicate that the system covers both the back and complete front of the iPhone.
As far as the product goes, it is identical to the Invisishield line, but less expensive and nicely packaged w/ two skins per box.
Application is a royal pain. If you watch their video, you'll see that in the "final" skin, one of the corners is sticking up.
It will take a *long* time to do a good job, so just be patient. The corners are the worst - taking forever to decide to adhere smoothly. The good news is that once you get it on and notice all the little bubbles that you were certain you took care of (but didn't), they WILL go away after 48 hours. Once I was done, I thought the thing looked like crap for the first 24 hours and was ready to rip it off. After 36 hours it was looking "ok", and, after 48, I was really pleased with the product.
