Appreciate the review. But who cares about the packaging seeming 'cheap'? Overdone packaging is wasteful, so I appreciate any minimizing of packaging for something that, itself, is a protective case!
I agree. Unless maybe it's something I will sell in the future (and would be nice to have the original packaging), I couldn't care less about the packaging
Hazel all the way! Bought it with the 9 Pro XL and love the premium feeling it gives off in the hand. I even loved the minimalist recycled packaging which, let's admit it, goes in the bin anyway, so this was nice to see.
I ordered one with my 9 Pro. I'm supposed to get them on Sept 4th. I've had my Pixel 7 in the official case for two years now, and it has held up well. There are a few knicks in it from dropping the phone, but it still has the original vibrancy of the Lemongrass color. The metal buttons also feel good still.
Thosee fabric Pixel cases were amazing. But they were too wide and made the phone heard to grip. Still have all of them from over the years! And they were machine washable. Wonder if the new ones are!
They're nice, aesthetically, have good fit and matching colors..albeit more on the overpriced side. But it's a little too smooth and slippery at the sides. You can hold a phone hands down while walking and it will have the tendency to slide out of your hands unless you have sweaty palms, or if you grip on to more than just the sides. Could use more grip.
I've picked up a hazel case for my non-pro 9, because I love this color, but it was only available for the pro models. After 1 day of use, I won't say anything about the durability, but it definitely feels nice.
@@me5425 you are correct. And despite what Android fanbois (not you) think, magsafe is a game changer for accessories and wireless charging. To my knowledge, Qi2 includes magnets for aligning the wireless charger to the device much like "Magsafe". I used Magsafe as a generic term because many people don't understand that Qi2 includes magnets as well. I just got a Mous case for my Pixel 9 Pro and having the magsafe magnets has been nothing short of awesome for some accessories I can now use. So what you want to call it, future devices NEED magnets on the back for alignment of the chargers AND accessories moving forward. This is one area Apple innovated and changed the game.
Pixel 9 and 9 pro are the exact same size. So, peony and wintergreen for the pixel 9 fits pixel 9 pro as well but not the pro xl. That's why 6 cases for the 9 and 9 pro but only 4 for the 9 pro xl.
I bought 2 cases Obsidian & Hazel. The hazel case looks 🔥. The obsidian case I bought from T-Mobile Saturday just passed when Pixel Pro XL arrived. 3 days in and its holding up very well. The hazel case arrived on Monday from the Google store. The Obsidian case is for work and the Hazel case is for outings
I love the look and feel of the case. But at least for the pro xl my only complaint is how slippery it is. I never thought I'd ask for more grip on a case, but the phone is so heavy that you do really need a decent grip on the xl model to keep it from falling out of your hands and its more annoying than youd expect
Are they stick to hand? Because my pixel 9 pro XL without case feels like it's gonna slip out of my hand. I think they made those phone like that just to keep buying cases, because without case this phone doesn't feels good in hand.
how grippy is it in the hand? It looks a bit too sleek to be functional to me, massive phones need a grippy case to hold in the palm not just one that looks nice
i have a pixel 8 pro and bought a magsafe case and it wont charge with origibal apple magsafe charger...what am i doing wrong> is it because its an apple magsafe charger?
They really would've been perfect with magnets and Google would've sold them hand over fist, in fact that and the color options (mint is the only one I really like) are the only reasons I'm looking elsewhere... The in hand feel of these is the best tho, I used Peak's case and a Caseology Parallax for a month each on my P8 and they both hurt my pinky and felt bulkier compared to the coral silicon case from Google.
I do like the Spigen option but i also prefer wired charging now so if i was to get a P9P i may well get the original case in the same colour as the phone...
I ordered the official case for the Pro 9 XL and immediately returned it. They feel great until you try to use day to day... The most slippery case I've ever used, guaranteed to drop it at some point 🙈
Bought the Google case for my Pixel 7, the phone was just too slippery to use without a case. Was very disappointed, the Google case was just as slippery ☹️, so I bought a textured Spigen case, which was nearly perfect. I just wished they did more colours 😂. I've still got an iPod Touch from 2012, with the polished steel back, which is still like new 😁. The first thing I did was add a cheap neoprene case - so much for premium design 😂.
The case looks nice but should be priced at $20 for what you get I opted for a clear spigen with magsafe cant say if its better or not since Im waiting on the phone and case to arrive
Google official case is the is the way to go to make sure ppl know that I got a pixel phone ❤. Let's promote pixel phone for them bc their marketing is trash
I'm using the Google OEM case in porcelain on my porcelain Pixel 9. I like the case but I find it a bit slippery. I'm hoping it'll get worked in a little over time and develop a better grip to it.
Nice cases, however all these companies never integrate a small kickstand into the case, thats why i buy cheaper ones on amazon with the kickstand and they hold up well. I use my phone alot for watching content away from home so a kickstand is mandatory.
@@42degrees86so many people in the comments and reviews say the exact opposite, they say this case is extremely slippery and that they have never had a case with so little grip before 🤦, so what is the truth here??
As long as you have a lip around the screen that's all you need unless you're throwing your phone off cliffs onto rocks 😂. These google cases offer as much protection as you need for most use cases. I've dropped my Pixel 8 pro heaps and gone mountain biking without any issues. Don't even have a screen protector.
Why didn't you show us various cases/phones combinations so that it would be possible to understand which case suits which phone color the best? Useless review.
I've never understood why anyone would pay $40 for the official Google cases when they are so plain and boring. Especially when you can buy a 3rd party case with better colors at half the price and more practical features like kickstands, wallet cases, mag safe and last longer.
I've bought the Pixel 8 last year with an official Case and it is holding up completely fine. The edges of the visor have gotten a little shiny lately but nothing unexpected and the rest of the case still looks really good. I'd say go for a Google Case if you like the design from that standpoint!

I agree. A weird thing to be irritated or annoyed about. It's meant to be thrown away, it doesn't need to be pricey.
Google absolutely cooked with this year’s design. The case fits like a glove
Absolutely , after they they totally ruined the pixel 6 6a with the worst case ever 😭 no more transparent ugly case ever pleeease
Hazel all the way! Bought it with the 9 Pro XL and love the premium feeling it gives off in the hand. I even loved the minimalist recycled packaging which, let's admit it, goes in the bin anyway, so this was nice to see.
Does this case not wear out over time and become unsightly?

Thosee fabric Pixel cases were amazing. But they were too wide and made the phone heard to grip. Still have all of them from over the years! And they were machine washable. Wonder if the new ones are!
I wouldn't be able to have one because it would get stained so quickly
I got them on my pixel 4 and never used them thanks to freaking covid smh
Thinking of replacing the battery and use it from time to time at least
The google cases are very solid and feel premium, I also had the pixel 8 pro google cases as well as new pixel 9 pro xl.

After 1 day of use, I won't say anything about the durability, but it definitely feels nice.
is it slippery? if you had to rate the grip of this case from 1 to 10 what rating would you give? Thnks
Does the case become worn out over time and start to shine in places where it is held most often?

The cases are giving Nexus 6P vibe 🎉
I still miss the fabric Pixel cases
Same
Does anyone know if the Google porcelain color case holds up well?
Yo la estoy usando hace 2 semanas y no tiene ni una mínima mancha
I'm still struggling to find a similar case to this but with magsafe and for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold
Why isn't all the colours available for both

Can you put on a magsafe sticker? Some cases don't really work with adhesives.
I got thr black case for the Peony Pixel 9 and I love the combo.
Does it protect enough if you drop your phone?
No Magsafe, no case... Biggest oversight by Google not to include Qi2
Should review all the cases google sell directly - Bellroy and Mous, and then compare to other 3rd party options
how grippy is it in the hand? It looks a bit too sleek to be functional to me, massive phones need a grippy case to hold in the palm not just one that looks nice

A Spigen case or Torras kickstand magsafe case is a better choice.
I wish they were a bit thinner, as thin as the Apple silicone cases.
Are they thicker than Pixel 8 cases? I have the 8 and a G case
When are we gonna see a complete pixel watch 3 review?
I have never used a wireless charger since it was implemented in a phone so this doesn't bother me, wired charging is always better in my book

But I guess that all. Or similar are available on Amazon. Possibly cheaper too!
Thorough review
The only case you'll ever need is a Spigen TA - buy once and done case
Or The Ringke Onyx. There's nothing like it!
These pixel cases are sleeker and feel nicer.
Nice cases, however all these companies never integrate a small kickstand into the case, thats why i buy cheaper ones on amazon with the kickstand and they hold up well. I use my phone alot for watching content away from home so a kickstand is mandatory.
A kick stand adds bulk and it’s not something everyone would want, although I agree as I like kick stands it’s worth the trade off.
@GrimAbstract no, caseology has great slim cases with a kickstand that sits flat and flush within the case.
In India the price of this case is ridiculous. Not worth it.
No mag support. No thank you.
These have been my least favorite Google case over the last 3 years. Just to slippery in the hand.
Are they different texture to the 8 cases as it feels nice rubbery and grippy.

the cases for the 6 series just broke and the flopped off the phone
Hmmmmm. Dollars in England? How about £s.
Needs magnets.
Why?

Nope. I rather go with the OtterBox and make sure it's 100% safe for the money you spent on these phones. Nope. OtterBox is the way to go

do you need like super fancy packaging for the case? i mean you're not going to keep it anyways💀 you're here of the case, not the packaging💀
Your magsafe wallet?
No Magsafe, No Purchase. The Spigen is also not an option, as it's a metal ring, not a magnet array, so it lacks strength.

How is $35 expensive when Apple sells their cases for $50 plus. Somebody needs to do their fact checking.
Anything with an Apple logo on it is expensive. Comparing a similar product to Apple's pricing does not mean its cheap.
do not buy the official cases, many people mention that they've started falling apart just a week into the usage
It hasn’t even been a week yet lmao. I have mine, works flawless and has held up for the week 😂
