I bought a purple silicone case for my Palm Pre at goblas.com a week ago and today I received the case. It looks great on my phone

I bought the same case that Amzer is selling on amazon.com for about $6. After shipping it was about $10. It is identical to the pictures shown in this post.

My opinion is that this product is total garbage. Do not buy this product. The two pieces just fall off the phone and are not attached at all. The saying "you get what you pay for" comes to mind but does not even apply here. This is pure junk and I wasted my money on it.

If someone could post some pictures or do a review of the silicone skin on goblas.com that LetsRock mentioned earlier that would be much appreciated. Specifically do the two halfs latch together in a way that prevents them from simply falling off the phone? If the phone was dropped, would the two halfs stay together? There is a picture on goblas.com that shows the two parts not connected.

Cheers

Here's the video Fommy.com put up:

If what you all are saying about how the pieces just fall off and do not stay on, then Fommy is spitting false information on how the case "refuses to let go" and always stays in place when it is applied.

I told a buddy of mine at work about the issues you guys have stated about the pieces of the case that don't stay on very well and he offered a workaround that he has used in the past with other phones.

Go to a Home Depot type store and get some thin double sided film adhesive and place a little piece at the top and bottom of the back and then put the case on. This will hold the case in place and also just rolls off when you need to remove it and won't leave a stickiness either.

The back half of this case has a lot more surface area and holds on while simply shaking the device as shown in the video. Note in the video they are holding the front part in place as that is the piece that comes off very easily. It is also the part of the phone which in my opinion needs the most protection.

This product = fail.

I do like the suggestion to use the double sided adhesive tape which I could see helping. That said, I am sure there will be some non-fail cases coming out down the road. (Still waiting for OtterBox)
