I put "Ghost Armor" on my G1. They advertise it as being totally invisible. Well, its transparent at least. The G1 is a flat black color, and after the armor went on it looked like it had a hi gloss plastic case. Also, at first it makes the phone a bit sticky, or more like a no slip kinda feel. Because of that I took some of it off. Left it on the screen and battery cover though. As far as protection, it works awesome. My phone has no scratch or dings in it, and the armor itself resists scratches and dents. But, if it does get a scratch you can peel it off and get a new one to stick on.
