The picture that is shown for this item makes it look like a much paler blue than the faceplate really is. I am actually trying to get ahold of the Pacific Blue cover, but no one has that in stock, so i picked up a Blue Mist to satisfy my need for a color faceplate.Some reviews i've read criticize the faceplates for being only the front of the palm. I think it looks neat, though, with the blue front and black back. I suppose if you're getting the faceplate so other people will think you're cool, that might be an issue. I got the faceplate so i'd have a colored border around the screen, and i don't spend much time staring at the side or back of my m100, so even if i didn't like the half-and-half look, it wouldn't be the end of the world.the only complaint i have is actually more the fault of my m100 case than the faceplate. I use the leather flip-case for my palm, and it covers up almost the entire faceplate. but i can still see part of it, so that's not the end of the world either.
