The BestPalm Pre and Pixi Accessories

Now that you have chosen one of the Best phones available today, your Palm Pre or Pixi, you are going to need some accessories to either protect or enhance your experience.

I am a Palm Pre user so I know what its like to have an amazing phone and not be able to fully utilize it. It's my hope that this article helps you find some accessories to make your experience all the better.

1. Touchstone Charging Dock and Back Door

We are all familiar with the process of having to plug your phone in to charge. How many times have you or someone you know damaged the charging port? The Touchstone eliminates the need to "plug in" your phone. All you do is swap the current battery cover door with the one in the Touchstone Kit and set it on the Touchstone charging dock. It stays affixed and charges by magnetism. Honestly, I wont bore you with the details of how that works. All you need to know it=s that you simply plug the dock into the wall, or car charger like myself, and just set the phone on it. It make it so much easier and quicker to get to your phone when and where you need to. It varies in price from as low as $49.99 to $69.99 so just show round to find the best pricing available. This does work for both the Pre and Pixi.

2. Zagg Invisishield

How many times have you kept your phone in your pocket to only find that the screen has been scratched or damaged by your keys or anything else in your pocket? This was the very first accessory that I purchased for my Pre. The screens are developed by material that was designed for military use. They come with a lifetime warranty. This is awesome in and of itself. They offer protection for either just the screen or the entire device. I just protected my screen. These screen covers are far superior to any you will get in a cell phne store, unless they are selling this product. You can attempt to scratch it but trust me, you wont be able to. Not only do they make shields for phones but they also protect cameras, portable gaming devices and laptops. The price will vary on device and if its just the screen or whole phone you are protecting. The cost is between $20 and $40.

3. Seidio Innocase for Palm Pre

You have a powerful device in your hands and youre going to want to take every precaution with it. The Seidio Innocase does that without adding much bulk to the phone. The case is only 1.2 mm thick yet is very durable. It comes in 2 pieces and snaps on for security. It also provides a rubber texture for better grip in your hand. It has all the standard cut outs for vaolume, charging and headphone jack. The cost is typically $30.

4. Extended Battery

As you may have exerienced the battery life opn either the Pre or Pixi is not that great despite all that you do with adjusting your settings. Seidio again makes a great extended battery for the Pre and Pixi. It will give your approximately 20% more battery life than the standard battery. What you will like about this battery is the facty that it fits with the standard battery backdoor. It will not nincrease the bulkiness of your phone at all. The cost is usually between $45 and $50.

5. Spare Battery Charger

As stated above, you will need an extended battery to truly enjoy your phone to its fullest. So what do you do with the stndard battery you replaced? Thats what this battery charger is for. Typically the battery will only charge while in the phone. With this unit you will be able to chrge your spare battery and take it with you while your out for the day. This is especially beneficial for those power users that may not be ble to "plug in" their phone during the course of the day. It sells for approximately $20. This works for both the Pre and Pixi.
