    Who is getting the Pixel Stand?

    Yea, I was tempted by that but for me I'd rather have the unlocked bootloader.

    Who is getting the Pixel Stand?

    Can't justify it for the price tag as I don't see myself getting much use out of the addition features and there a plenty of better looking wireless chargers and stands for much cheaper. Google should have given them free with pre-order though. I really thought they would have, I think every...

    Any idea on a thickness comparison between the Spigen Neo Hybrid and Rugged Armor?

    What case are you getting for your Pixel 3

    Looking for a good compromise between thin and some protection, throw suggestions out there guys and gals. Have been a big fan of Spigen in years past but for my Pixel 2 I ended up going between a Caseology and a Rinke as that is what was available and on sale after I pre-ordered.

    Is it best to buy from VZ or Google directly? What about Project Fi or unlocked?

    Straight from Google for me as I don't want the locked bootloader. Really sucks Google isn't offering more pre-order incentive this year though.

    Pre-order bonus $50 Google Store money for Customers that are opted in to receive marketing emails

    I get emails from Google all the time and never got this. I've purchased ever Google phone via pre-order back into the days of Nexus devices as well. Is the $50 credit just for apps or good towards devices as well?

    Charging issues using other chargers

    Well sounds like I'll just grab a new cable on Amazon and hope that solves the issue. I have tried at least 5 other cables around the house and they all work fine. To clear up any confusion the cable that does not work is a regular USB cable into a 5 USB port wall outlet. If I go ahead and...

    Charging issues using other chargers

    Anyone having any issues with charging from cables besides what came with the phone? I have a long USB cable with a USB-C adapter that is perfect for next to my bed because of length, yet it wont charge my Pixel2XL, shows charging for a split second then stops. This cable has always and still...

    Screen protector?

    So I was browsing through the cases thread looking to see what people are getting and shocked to see so much screen protector talk. I haven't used a screen protector in my last 3 - 5 phones, pocket them and throw them in bags, and my fiance throws hers in her purse with god knows what in there...

    Best cases for Google Pixel 2

    This looks really neat. But at that price point I'd like to see some more pictures, especially one with a view from the front. Some product reviews would also be nice. Guess I'll keep my eye on this one for down the road.

    Best cases for Google Pixel 2

    Is the rugged armor thinner than the neo-hybrid? I wish they listed size specs on the site.

    Best cases for Google Pixel 2

    So I put in an order for a NeoHybrid as it's what I have used on my last two or three phones and have always been happy with them. However, there are so many other choices now I am wondering if I should grab another as well to give a try, but the website doesn't offer many specifics. Anyone...

    Assistant in Allo doesn't know where I am

    Assistant in Allo doesn't know where I am making simple things like asking weather useless. It places me in a city about 4 hours away for some reason. If I ask for weather in Google search bar it has no problem with my location. Yet the assistant in Allo does. I don't see anything in the Allo...

    Hulu app no HD on Nexus 6p.

    About a month ago I started having issues with Hulu on two separate smart TVs, a Nexus Player, and two different phones. Hulu tried telling me it's me devices. I guess all 5 went bad at the same time even though NetFlix continues to work fine. I just cancelled, don't have the time to deal...
