A stupid little hint for those using the included sleeve.

A stupid little hint for those using the included sleeve.

I still haven't found a case or holster that I have liked (for the price I want to pay), so while I continue my search I have had to use the sleeve that came with the Pre. It's a nicely constructed piece, but it's just tight and a pain to get the phone in and out of.

My solution? Flip the thing inside out! This puts the large seam on the outside, giving more room for the phone on the inside. It slides in and out easily now and it doesn't look half bad.

Who would have thought it would have been that easy?

I've been using that as well because I haven't seen one I like either...what I do to get it out is similair to a tube of toothpaste, I push up from the bottom, and it comes out fairly easily.

I'm using it too! "Squeeze it like toothpaste"!!! LOL That's what I do!!

I do the same thing LOL

Yeah, I've been doing that too...plus, the orange fabric doesn't show all the crap in your pockets like the black side does. I kinda wish it said PALM on it though.

I squeeze it like toothpaste too, and flipping it inside out just makes it that much easier to get in and out.

That's what she said! (sorry, I just couldn't resist).

Does the back side of the Pre scratch easily? What about the screen?

the palm holster although costs an arm and a leg is pretty nice. tight fit the first couple of days but it's broken in now & I love it

Why couldn't they make it pink instead of orange. Is it halloween?

Thanks, I was using it the other way, and you guys are correct, the color is scary! But turning it inside out makes the chances of dropping a little less since you don't have to fool with it so much. I bought the leather official Pre belt holster thingy, but prefer to just keep in the included pouch in my pocket. But I also hated having to fool with it trying to get it out.

Same here....been using the pouch like toothpaste. Ordered my invisible shield so I figure another week of this push pop...lol

Thats a simple and good idea. Now I can grab JUST the phone from my pocket instead of pulling the entire thing out and fumbling with it before I miss the call

Another cool thing I noticed about this handy little pouch is it creates a soft, non-slip, non scratch surface for my Pre to relax upon while not on Touchstone. Seriously, in the car, i put it on the pouch (instead of in so I can see msgs or whatever) and Pre does not move and I don't have to worry about it getting scrached. On my chair, which is microfiber or whaever, it is slick and the phone will slide right off, but the pouch makes it stick good there too! I don't mind the orange, makes it easy to grab out of the pocket of my purse because i have nothing else thats orange.

I like the little pouch it came with, at first i had some problems with pushing the pre into the pouch because the keyboard would push out on me, tell i smarten up and turned the device around backwards. Ill have to try the inside out trick and see if that helps it any.

I am also using the toohpase method. I think is the easiest way to get the phone out

I have been using it this way also,I have been flipping it back and fourth still not decided,but it is getting easier to get in and out,probably getting stretched from flipping it :laugh3:.

I put a phantom skinz on and its now harder to put in the black-side out. with orange side out, i thought it was too loose without skin but with the PS on it, it fits better....but man, that orange....i'm torn.

the skinz you put on the pre, did you get it online? how good is it? i bought a clear plastic cover at best buy for 20 bucks and though it's bulky it's protective... just doesn't fit in the case not the holster (

very thin, but has a not so smooth texture, so makes sliding into the pouch, tight. but when you take it out and fingerprints removed by pouch, looks as smooth....as plastic should w/o the skinz. i'm tempted to do the key scratch but why bother, it works.

man, i just can't flip the pouch to orange tho.
