Pixel 8 cases thread.

I have always liked the Bellroy cases and do like the blue one I got for my P8P, it looks sexy. I know @Bkdodger1 had a blue one before for one of his many phones, I am curious how the patina is with time?

I also received the Pixel branded blue case, it feels nice and I like the "felt" lining. I still have the Spigen Rugged Armor but wish I had gotten the Clear, that blue color of the phone is bad a$$. If I could find a good clear case with kickstand I would probably get it. I have always been the black phone guy, because I put on a case and I truly thought this Bay color would be to flashy for me.

Decision time, do I return all blue case options and get something to show the natural color...first world problems indeed.

I say you keep all the cases and add a nice clear case to the collection… I did enjoy my Belroy case, but didn’t keep it long enough to see that patina LMAO

How are you liking the Spigen clear? Fingerprint magnet? Kinda want a kickstand, miss my Fold for that reason.

I'm digging the case as it's a soft feel in my hand and although fingerprints they are not too bad and a quick wipe here and there helps ...
 
I purchased this case from Amazon. Love it! Feels great. Hides fingerprints AND protects the camera bar. It was $9.99 and has a 5% discount for the black case, which is what I got. The blue color of my phone does show thru, especially in sunlight. Screenshot_20231015-062351.jpg
 
I have 3 cases now. I love this one because the camera cutouts are precise. Amazon ivoler Clear Case Compatible with... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C27H6PTQ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

It's a snug fit with raised edges that keeps your screen off flat surfaces.

These 2 are Caseborne from Karl. The clear one is definitely a winner for me. It comes with 2 camera lens protector and 2 screen protectors. I'd feel protected in a normal drop because It has thick edges, but it doesn't feel bulky. The only reason I'm not using the camera lens protector is because it's black and I don't want to ruin the aesthetic of the back. I feel like the screen protector is a bit too small. The fps and facial unlock are flawless with the sp.

The 2nd Caseborne is a literal tank. I will not use this because it's just too much. You construction or outside laborers...this is for you. It's bulky and heavy, and your phone is all snug in this cocoon. I'd have no problem throwing my phone like a football in this case. It comes with 2 sp as well. No lens protectors.

They're both Magsafe compatible

A+ for Karl and Caseborne.

My P8P Porcelain arrives in 3 days. My case arrived today from Amazon- I went with the Spigen clear one.
I have used Spigen in the past a couple times. I tend to prefer clear these days. Have had all different styles and in the last few years prefer the clear silicone type ones.

Awesome which Spigen case did you go Ultra Hybrid ?
 
I've tried 3 cases so far for my Pixel 8 Pro. What I'm really looking for is a MagSafe compatible case with a kickstand. Hoping someone tries something like that so I can hear thoughts.

Hey there! Yeppers!!!! That's the one! Ultra Hybrid clear. I still have the protective film on it waiting for Wed when my phone arrives.
I like the one Katrina has too- the Amazon ivoler one . I could go wild too and order a few more cases LOL but I am behaving...;)
well, for now ...

Got that one too. There's another case that's similar, but with a clear back that I wish I got instead...with my porcelain P8P, gives me og Pixel 2 Panda vibes.

Haha I hear ya …I have the Mous slim coming tomorrow in black and I will hold off for a bit to enjoy them …have a good phone day
 
Received the Peak Design everyday case today. It's a solid case with really responsive buttons. It seems to offer good protection. What i don't like about it is how slippery it is. The back is a kind of slippery denim type material, and the sides are also pretty slick.
I'll probably send this one back and order the dbrand grip or ghost case.
