I'll report back if any of these things start to happen to mine. So far, no stretching and no peeling. Protection isn't close to absolute, but I think it's better than a thin, hard case would be. That's why shied away from the live case. I think I'm most pleased about the understated design of...

Yep. That's what I meant by "the edge near the buttons is very flexible" in my original post. Android police has a review up now at Cold case files: Google Pixel case reviews (Updated: 11/16/16). I agree with some of his points, but I think he was a bit harsh. The case could be more grippy...

Yep. No complaints and no signs of wear so far (as one would hope). I haven't had any trouble pressing buttons or using the fingerprint scanner. No substantial drops, so no update on its ability to protect the phone.

Thanks for the information, folks, but it's kind of off topic. I'm fine with my screen protector only protecting it from scratches. It's still protecting the screen, just not from every kind of damage. (If it also protects from some impacts, all the better.) If you want to argue about their...

There are a lot of threads about screen protectors floating around. There are a lot of complaints about the screen protectors not fully covering the glass, or even the usable area. I'm trying to find a screen protector that'll work for me and I was hoping some of you who already have one would...

Yes, indeed. Still pleased after a few days.

I'm going to have to leave that up to someone else to answer with any authority. It's slightly rubbery and has medium thickness. It'll definitely offer more protection than some of those thin, hard plastic cases you see, but I can't say much beyond that. I have very little experience with cases...

Just got my official Pixel XL case in the mail today and I'm reasonably pleased. Happy to report that it's height is not 19 mm, as is listed in the specs in the store. It's more like 11 or 12 mm. It fits well, but the edge near the buttons is very flexible. It isn't especially sticky or...

The Google-branded XL and non-XL cases are now available (in grey/gray only) through the store. I've ordered one for my XL and I'll report back when I get it.

I think I'll be going for the OEM case eventually, as I find most of the third-party ones gaudy. I'm a little concerned about its specs, though. It lists the height as 19 mm. That can't be right. Right? It can't be adding over a centimeter in height. (Created a thread on this in the non-XL...

Never been a fan of cases, but since my new 128 GB XL (expected to arrive tomorrow) cost a small fortune, I figure it's high time I took the plunge. Browsed third party cases, but I think most of them are ugly, with some sort of terrible design, logo, or ridges on the back. I like the...

On 10/4, before 11:30 am (GMT -7), I ordered my XL in Quite Black with 128 GB (in addition to a Chromecast Audio) using standard shipping. Shipment info to FedEx today (10/20) at 12:35 am (GMT -8) and arrived at FedEx at 3:42 am. Expected delivery (in NM, USA) is tomorrow! Exciting. Too bad...
