Did you even try to leave it on for 24 hours. I thought the same thing after my installation(when I saw all of the little bubbles), but my patience paid off. It fits great(when installed correctly), and there were only 'micro bubbles' after installation. As for responsiveness, I think it's just as good as it was without it. There should not be any large bubbles after installation, only a few of the previously mentioned micro bubbles. These should disappear within a week after installation. IS says that they should be gone in 'two to three days'(according to step 6 of the instructions).

I just got my ghost armor in the mail.  I will be putting it on later.  I will let you guys know how it goes.  I was reading the website and it says " You’ll receive the same extreme protection for your Palm Pre that the military helicopter blades and fighter jets’ wingtips receive!" 

Haveing put the 3m tape on F-18 hornets leading edges and sh-60's rotors myself im gonna say this is not true.  Maybe its the same tape but its def not anywhere near the thinkness and the adhesive better not be the same cause it would never come off.  Also the tape is was blue in the military but thats just cosmetic.  Honestly it doesnt even feel the same the stuff we put on had a semi ruff feeling to it not smooth.

lol what technology?  the tech of putting 3m tape on something.  lol.  its def not the same stuff.  Anyway i was hopeing to put it on my new phone today because im supose to be getting a replacement for my broken one.  BUT!  i just called radioshack and they didnt get any in like they said they would.  Also I called every radio shack and bestbuy and sprint store on Long Island and nobody has them.  this sucks

do you really need both the front and back or will just the front suffice??

I only have the front shield.  I figured the back shield cost another 10 dollars but you can buy the back to the phone for 19 right now so whats the point in spending half the cost on a back shield.  I will take my chances.
