    Hubs and I both have the pre and I ordered 4 cases from handhelditems.com.

    Here's what I ordered:

    2 rubberized hard cases, one works perfectly and one got hung up on the phone (not cut quite right).
    1 silicone case. pure crap. wouldn't stick to the phone for 2 seconds.
    1 hard case, worked fine, it was just a metallic color and that isn't my style.

    the cases are in the $5-7 range, shipping was $2.85 and dealnews.com has a 30%off coupon using coupon code "palmpre30". My order arrived within a 5 days (including a weekend).

    I'm sending back 3 of the 4 cases and ordering some others to try.

    We also ordered the car mount, and hubs loves it. it was about $6 too.

    I have no idea how the quality would compare with the sedido charger, and I don't use the touchstone so that is a non-issue for me. For the 1 rubberized case that worked, it's on hubs phone and he totally loves it. Since sedido claims their rubberized case is 1mm, I checked mine and it's the same.

    I've attached 2 pics, 1 with and 1 without flash. sorry they're grainy, took them using my pre.

    Car mount you say?

    I had 3 Rocketfish cases and one was pretty bad.
    That one, clear, was also a little thicker in the screen area, as yours looks, and I didn't care for that.

    The Gun Metal and black worked perfect. Although didn't protect my phone from a nasty drop, it still cracked.

    Why didn't you like the silicone case? I've been looking for one.
  4. sixwings100eyes New Member

    It had a 0% chance of staying on the phone. My #1 choice would be a silicone case too, but this one was NOT the answer. The back part did stay on a little better than the front one, but it was basically useless.

    Looks like that holder will cover the charging port, dern ):

    not if you leave phone open while using car mount. that is what we do, so we can simultaneously charge while using GPS

    For $6 I may have to pick one up to try.

    Ya I'd like to know how it holds up as far as the suction in the summer heat . I'm in Texas and my last mount wouldn't stay up once it got hot.

    In case anyone else was wondering (as I was), the suction cup seems to have a locking mechanism on it, which does help to make things much more sturdy and easier to remove as well. I was looking for something like this for when I get my Pre. I'm definitely going to order this one after seeing this review as well as the others on the site.
