New to the Pixel family

[mikefour77]

Hey - So due to some ongoing issues with my old Nexus 6P, I was issued an RMA and received a shiny new Pixel XL for my troubles.

Now, I have had the phone for all of four days, but I have to say, I am very impressed with this phone. I thought losing some screen size (5.5 verses 5.7 for the 6P) would bother me, but I have actually noticed that I like the slightly smaller size.

I think that given the new hotness issues with the Pixel 2, I think that I am very comfortable rocking the OG Pixel for quite some time.

Anyway, just wanted to say hello.

@mikefour77 Welcome to the Pixel club! I hope that you will continue to enjoy your Pixel XL. The original ones still very much hold their own. I have had a hard time letting go of mine. (I have the smaller one)

Nice! Yeah, the original Pixel is still one of the best phones you can buy. Even at a year old, it is still one of the best performing phones you can get and the camera is still top notch.

Thanks for the welcome. Does anyone have any case suggestions?

I keep going back and forth. On one hand, I really enjoy the phone without a case, but seeing as I want to keep this one for a while, it seems foolish to not put it in a case.

I use this with my pixel and it's very nice. Mostly I like it for the bit of grip it gives

Been rocking this since February. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0JH1T...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6067174

The clear one's I have tried all turned yellow. I like this cheaper version of the Peel case, which is very thin case.

I switch back and forth between these two.

Many thanks again all. I ended up ordering these two:

We'll see which one I like better when they come in.
