    "Why get it?"

    Honestly I follow the Pixel line for the cameras and purity of the Android experience. Past Android experiences were bloated and mucky in regards to added baggage.

    Protector for back glass panel?

    I bought a Matte White glass skin and a Matte White "G" from DBrand and it looks absolutely gorgeous. However, I was considering getting a Full-Body Techskin from Skinomi.com. Clear screen and back protector for $15. I would recommend. http://www.skinomi.com/goceph.html

(if not, I apologize; coming from Windows and have been slightly out of the loop with Android). I was wondering if this is the same case here. And thanks! At the end of the...

    Played with a Pixel XL today!!!!!

    I plan to upgrade from an htc one m8 to either this or the regular pixel. Has anyone held both the m8 and pixel? If so, how does the pixel xl compare?
