So I broke down and ordered a Pixel 5 today. 😍 I just couldn't pass a deal that saves me money every month. Now to anxiously wait 2 - 5 business days for it to be delivered.

What great news! Congratulations on your new phone. I have the 4a 5G and I love it.
 
I've had the Nexus 6P, OG Pixel XL, 2XL, 3XL. Passed on the 4 series. Smashed my 3XL, so had to go for the 5 and... I'm loving it. I'm sure you will too.

I had a Pixel 2 and have a Pixel 4 XL.

I've been looking for a case and can't decide if I should get a screen protector or not. Is there a curve to the screen on the 5? If so, I may opt for a wallet case so that the screen is protected while in my pocket, but won't have air bubbles all along the sides like on my iPhone SE.
 
There is no curve. My wife has a wallet case with her 5 and it is still quite compact and pocketable.

Yay! That's so awesome! What kind of deal did you get? Let us know how you enjoy your new Pixel 5!

I'm paying $5 less per month plus $150 bill credit. Oh, and the plan was for 3 GB per month but I'm getting 8 GB, which is 2 GB more than I had.
 
Awesome! Loving the 5, I have the fabric Google case and like it. I also have a clear Spigen Ultra Hybrid case for situations where I don't want dirt and sweat rubbing off onto the fabric case. Both work with the wireless charging.

I have this screen protector, and let me tell you it was the easiest I've ever put on in like the last 20 years. Has stayed on nicely with no bubbles - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6943086

Thanks for the recommendation. I just ordered these before I saw your post. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08KXSGDGL...hawk-future-ca-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6943285
I've added the ones you recommended to my wish list, just in case the ones I got don't work right.
 
Agreed, that is a great screen protector and an awesome value.

I have the Google fabric case. Nice, but with a screen protector on, the front lip isn't raised enough to keep the screen from protected when placed face down. Also have the Spigen case and love it.
 
Just have to say I am not missing my Pixel 4 XL. This phone fits my hands much better while not giving up a lot of screen. And the fps works great...much faster and much more reliable than the one on my iPhone SE (2020).
