NOTE: I suggest you don't buy these cases for your Pre. Why? Does 'gestures' ring a bell?

The gesture area is covered. That's a big oversight by the case designers.
THe gesture area is now useless, u need to have the gesture area for the phone to work correctly.
Good catch ^
Ordered it, then cancelled. Their "CLEAR SMOKE" version covers up the gesture area. Too good to be true. I was like sweet, case on the day I get it :-D
What moron design this case? You can't use the gesture area! Fail!
Next they should come out with a case that covers the screen and won't let the keyboard slide out. Then it would REALLY be protected. ;)
What about if you get a Touchstone charger and you have the different magnetic thing on the back? I bet that you couldn't charge it on the Touchstone with that case either.
Probably better to get an InvisibleSHIELD. Unless they come up with another design that's actually working.
Yeah, the InvisibleSHIELD is the way I plan on going. Their site doesn't show one for the Pre yet, but some of the authorized retailers have placeholders for the Pre with a Coming Soon message.
I'd really like to see a workable solution with the rubberized shizz. I think I'll miss this the most.
@Katie: I believe that the charging will work, that the Touchstone battery cover will function through a small spacing.
The InvisibleSHIELD causes the Pre to loose some functionality when sliding through the screens. It is like the shield is to thick and you really have to press hard to open apps and slide on the screen.
