I love it just for the convenience... but the replacement back is wonderful. It has a nice soft matte feel to it, not slippery or glossy. Don't get it from the Sprint stores because they are $70 there... unless you can sweet talk your way into the 25% premiere customer discount... which I can confirm is possible.

The matte black Touchstone™ Back Cover is available directly from Palm for $19.99. You can also get several other Touchstone™ packages at Palm's store.

The only thing I like about the package I got at the Sprint store is the back cover. I didn't do my research and did not know that you can not connect the Pre to a PC with the touchstone. Plus standard mini USB cables are to wide and do not fit the narrow opening on the back of the touchstone.

I did an exellet job on my pre though. now I can carry it along with all kinds of sharp stuff in my pocket and not worry about it for a second (not that I would recommend u do that though). they have professionals that will do it for 10 dollars but i didn't look into that.

Thanks for the feedback. Once I finally decide on which product to go with I am definitely going to have the 'professionals' do it. I'm not going to mess around with my Prē...

Check out the website. If you put in your zip code it will give you a list of locations, including the mall locations for installation.

I second that! The touchstone is great, but the back cover puts it on top (so much better than the og back cover). I actually got 20% off from the Sprint Store on mine... bought the car charger too.

I got the full body model because the "screen only" model was just cut to cover the square "working area" of the screen, and just used the front part because I have the Touchstone back and didn't want to cover it.

I have installed Invisible Shields previously on an iPod, an Instinct and a Diamond without much trouble. This one, however, was an absolute nightmare to apply because of the curved screen and because you have 3 holes to line up. It was very difficult and tedious. Someone earlier mentioned that they had access to professional Zagg installation for 10 bucks. I would highly recommend, that if you have access to this service and want to buy one of these screen protectors, take advantage of it... it will save you a major headache.

Anyway, I just finished putting it on a bit ago so I will leave some more feedback after all the little bubbles melt.

Drybonz, any feedback on IS yet?
