Black Rubber Feel Snap-On Cover Hard Case Cell Phone Protector for Palm PRE
I purchased this because I started getting tiny scratches all over my Pre. I figured the price listed sure beats anything the Sprint store had to offer and if it didn’t work then I’d purchase the $10 case offered by another manufacturer on Amazon (NOT the $39.99 case from the Sprint store). When the product arrived I thought it looked pretty cheap and probably wouldn’t do the job, however I was pleasantly surprised. It fit my Pre perfectly!!! It has a nice snug fit and protects everthing except the screen. Despite the photo (the seller really needs to change that and I’m sure more people would purchase), it does NOT cover the gesture area. The case fits around the Pre like a frame leaving all areas that need to be open free from covering yet protects the Pre from tiny dings and scratches from laying it on hard surfaces or if you’re like me, I always drop it in my purse and my keys and various other sharp items in my handbag were scratching the phone. Now, I just need to find a decent screen protector that won’t impair the touchscreen utility.

There’s a lot of conflicting information here. Reviewer M.Webb is correct. The photo included (with the case covering the gesture area) is not the correct photo of the product. This case DOES NOT cover the gesture area of the phone. The top (screen) portion of the case simply “frames” the front part of the phone w/o covering it. It in no way prevents any functionality of the Pre.
Besides this, the case has a nice feeling in the hand. The phone is a lot less “slick” to hold on to. It also looks quite attrative on the Pre and is not too bulky.

This item limits the following functionality of the phone:
-”Back” in Web browser as previously stated
-Scrolling from gesture area while Web browser in landscape mode
-Quick-switching of applications (similar to alt-tab)
-Cut (gesture+X)
-Copy (gesture+C)
-Paste (gesture+V)
-going “back” a level in just about all applications & areas of the UI (this one is the most crippling to me)
and those are only the ones I can think of off the top of my head

This is one of the worst designs I have ever seen. Look at the picture closely. The front of this case covers the “gesture area” below the Palm Pre’s screen! That is one of the major ways of interacting with the Pre. This case completely cripples the functionality of the device it is supposed to protect! Worthless!

At first when I opened the package I did not think it was going to work. It appeared cheap but once I put it on my phone it was hard to get off which is a good thing because I know my phone will be protected. The gesture area is not covered up like the picture shown. You are still able to use your gesture area with out any problems. Nice case that will protect your phone from cracks and scars.
