I just finished installing this baby with the help of a perfectionist brother-in-law..


Installation (Part 1/2)

I got my skin in the mail today, Thursday, after ordering it on Sunday.

Opened it up, took contents out and this is what I recieved:

2 Complete Body Kits
Installation Guide
Application Tool
"Contact Us" Card

The skins are very well made. They fit the pre perfectly, we had no trouble getting them on. We ran in to one problem tho. When flattening the back skin out, the two parts of the skin surrounding the camera streched and overlapped each other. EDIT: I need to specify this clearly... My apologies.



The part that covers the camera has two parts... The very end overlapped. Shown in red.


The directions were easy to follow, and made sense.

Putting on the case took roughly an hour because my brother had to make sure it was perfect, which I had no problem with. We held down the edges for a good time and it appears to be on very tight.


The Skin! (Part 2/2)

I have been using it and I have to say, I love this skin! The Pixi looks and feels the same. It makes me not afraid to use my Pixi because I know it is protected. It cleans great with a regular lens cloth.

I just put a pretty decent scratch/indention in the case with my fingernail, which I was hesitant to test because I didn't want to have to deal with a scratch on my case. After a couple minutes the scratch is almost nonexistent. I scratched it again and the same thing happened. Not gonna lie, this case is amazing.

I'd buy this again if I needed to, but luckily it came with an extra so I don't think I ever will!

Any other flaws with the skin happen because it is... a skin. Some stuff gets caught in the edges. I can't imagine how this wouldn't happen with another skin.




So overall?

The skin gets an A. No A+ because of the overlapping problem (which may have been self-inflicted anyways)




The Full Body Kit which comes with an full extra kit is $24.95 but the code "summer50" takes 50% off. This code has expired. "independence33" takes off 33%.

Here's my review up to finished installation only:

I got my skin in the mail today, Thursday, after ordering it on Sunday.

2 Complete Body Kits
Installation Guide
Application Tool
"Contact Us" Card

The skins are very well made. They fit the pre perfectly, we had no trouble getting them on. We ran in to one problem. When flattening the back skin out, the two parts of the skin streched and overlapped each other. I'm not sure if they will flatten back out but, I hope so. Other than that, we had no problems installing it.


The directions were easy to follow, and made sense.

Putting on the case took roughly an hour because my brother had to make sure it was perfect, which I had no problem with. We held down the edges  for a good time and it appears to be on very tight.


Full Review of skin's look and feel will come tomorrow.



The Full Body Kit which comes with an full extra kit is $24.95 but the code "summer50" takes 50% off.

That doesn't look too bad! How does it feel? Has anyone the Invisible Shield on? I would like to see a picture of the IS on the Pixi because I already ordered those.

I love the case... It feels almost exactly how it did before I put the case on.

It has a little more traction but that's it.



I will be finishing my review soon... Just thought I'd let you know.

Hey Tib, thanks for taking all the time and effort to post this review!  I feel a lot more confident now having purchased this. Since I got only the screen protector and opted for free shipping and used the discount code, it sounds like I got a hell of a skin for less than $5.

Still, you put a lot of work into this review and it's appreciated.

If Bill Gates had a nickel for every time Windows crashed...  oh wait, he does.

If you have a complaint about the Pre, such as a lack of a feature or a feature that doesn't work well, complaining about it here isn't going to fix it.  Why not send your suggestion to Palm?  That's how the Pre will evolve from a great phone into an even greater phone.  Just click here.
