FedEx tracking says delivery by end of day tomorrow, Thursday. Waiting is always the worst part when ordering a new phone, lol. And tomorrow, I'll be checking tracking and looking out the front window every 15 minutes.

Tomorrow should be a good day, yes. My Pixel case shipped also with expected delivery tomorrow. I plan to spend my day doing routine tasks with my 2 XL: read Android Central, order coffee, check email, generate a few memes, etc. Then I'm going to lay my Pixel 2 XL to rest with full honors and embrace the 5a as my new daily driver. The Pixel is dead! Long live the Pixel . . .

That sounds like an awesome day. PLEASE post unboxing photos of your 5a! Can't wait to see them!

Looking sharp... I actually like that case a lot, nice looking/nice sized phone. It even came with some accessories in the box 
My pixel 3XL came with all that and a nice set of headphones and usb-c headphone adapter. That's back when they still spoiled us

It's about the same size as my 2XL and fits my hand very well. For the price, the case is good. I haven't seen anything else I like. It's a close fit with little bulk, but I'm not anxious to test the drop protection. I added a Spigen 360 Ring for extra safety and as a bonus it works with my magnetic mount. Accessories are staying in the box as I have 65W chargers floating around the house already. Love the headphone jack . . . I just have to find my headphones . . .

So the case looks really nice but do you mean to say it doesn't have a lot of grip? It's a bit slippery?

Looks like it's time for the 5a to formally get its spot under the Google Hardware, Services & Apps forum!

Not slippery but not tacky like TPU or a rubberized finish. I would switch to Rhino Shield or LifeProof if they offer something.

Good to know. I'll leave the official case out of my list of possible cases whenever I get this device.

Question? Could you test the macro shots ? Can it get super close like an s21 ultra can? This is the only thing keeping me from buy is that I don't know how good macro is.
