Palm Pixi Upping the Game with Customizable Covers 11

by Dieter Bohn Wed, 09 Sep 2009 1:11 am EDT

One thing we don't want lost in all this Palm Pixi shuffle: the Palm Pixi's customizable back covers are really stunning, well designed, and hopefully won't cost an arm and a leg. Palm is starting with 5 limited-edition back covers from California artists and they look to be a great way to make the Pixi more fun and unique.

Each cover was custom-made for the Pixi and features the artitst's name and signature on the inside. Even better - all of the custom covers will be Touchstone-compatible, so you don't have to give up functionality for your bling. Sometime soon Palm will have more information on the artists and designs at www.palm.com/artistseries.

What do you think: Gimmick to rake in more money (can't blame cash-poor Palm for trying) or truly fun and cool feature?

This reminds me of the sidekick id.

Fun and cool I'd say, though I prefer black or gray myself. Now my lady... her phones are required to be pink so they could probably get her as customer just by offering a pink back.

Ha! Poor Dieter's had a long day (and a crappy connection out in California at that).

*fixed*

i would like to see them have options like this for the pre...i agree with joe---my pre is feeling pretty bland as well...

Bland? Black is a fantastic, stylish, practical color. I guess Palm really has the right idea, though, for those who see this as fun instead of gaudy and think black is bland.

More happy customers = great, though. Talking about Pimping your Pre.

Whatever your tastes, though, more power to you.
