Hi

Thought I would post my experiences of the official google case in more detail.

TLDR short version: It isnt worth the price, scratches easily and could easily scratch the phone. Approach with caution or not at all.

I bought the clear google case alongside my phone today. The case is not worth the premium cost. I know some believe that OEM cases are always over priced however I am not one of those people and tend to prefer official products.

Look

The case is not completely clear it is two tone, clear gloss at the top and matte frosted at the bottom. It looks OK especially if you want to preserve the two tone look of the design choice.

Size

Size is good, it is slim with a slight 'lay on the table' lip.

Feel

It feels very cheap, I would advise against purchasing the case on this issue alone. It has a slight 'lay on the table' design however it is this when your hand rubs against it that feels the most cheap and flimsy, not at all premium, more like $2 case.

Durability

Zero. Mine has already scratched on the gloss portion. I have had the case on for a couple of hours, on a desk and in my hand, as sterile and environment as would be possible. What is worse is the case is scratched on the inside. I only put the case on once and was careful to clean it before hand to check for any manufacturing debris. It hasnt been in a phone or a pocket yet. I am aware of course that debris can over time get into a hard case and you must mitigate against this but there has not been time for this.

Conclusion

Looks OK. Feels cheap and will scratch easily. However ultimately I wouldn't be comfortable putting my phone back in this case. I would be afraid that if this can happen so easily, the phone itself would get scratched up while in this case in no time at all.

I reached out to google to provide this feedback. There was nothing they could do and suggested I post feedback on the google forum as google listens to that. I do not see the merit in it that and despite this post, I am not really a complainer. I do however see merit in posting a review which may assist other people. It is after all an expensive phone going into a not cheap case.

Any idea if the picture case is the same material? I ordered one of these a week ago.

[MENTION=5650558]thetonyclifton[/MENTION]

Can you send some pics of the case, the phone in it etc.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] bretweb24:
I agree, I got the case for Pixel XL. I like how slim it is, almost like there isn't a case on it. But mine appears to have some wear after just a day and a half. Sucks to have to look for a new case after dropping $30 on this Google one
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] kradkovich:
I remember when i bought the nexus 6p and got the 35 dollar silicone case along with it. It is absolute waste, within a week material started getting faded and scratching. So i explained this to google and they allowed me to return it. I ended getting the Spigen Rugged Armor case for half the price and the quality is 100 times better. Same goes to my Pixel XL i already received the Spigen Rugged Armor case for it now just awaiting for the phone itself :)
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] thetonyclifton:
I was disappointed in the build and value, then disappointed by the easy damage and then terrified it would damage the phone. A really bad case in my experience and I normally really like OEM cases. I got a Spigen liquid crystal and while it is a bit bigger and all glossy, it is a much better case for about a 5th of the price.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] thetonyclifton:
I didn't buy the case from Google I bought it from a bricks and mortar phone store who wouldn't return the case because it julooked like I scratched it, it did have a scratch on there as I said but that was half of my complaint with the case. I contacted Google as the manufacturer and they didn't want to know. I didn't expect my money back as I didn't pay them but did expect them to offer me a voucher or replacement to try and make amends.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] thetonyclifton:
Sorry, no, just because I genuinely do not want to put my phone back in there again. Its cheap and scratchy, it makes a disconcerting scrapping noise against the sides of the phone.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] jj14:
Wait - you bought the Official Google case from a B&M phone store? Which store was it? (surprised to hear that it the official case is available from 3rd party stores already - are you sure it is a genuine one? Is it possible that the store sold you a "case for the Google Pixel phone")
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] hutzdani:
what case are you talking about, this one ?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] thetonyclifton:
It is the official case. I bought it from Carphone Warehouse in the UK who are the official seller of the Pixel in UK. That is why they had it in stock at launch.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] thetonyclifton:
Yes that the one I have.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] ste7enm:
That actually looks pretty darn thin. Thanks for posting photos. How much of a lip does it add to the fingerprint scanner, would you say?
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] jackdforme:
Ha. The new standard of measuring pixel case thickness. It's like the only thing I look for in pictures
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] IIIPowerIII:
I just filled my RMA too.

For a 45$ case, it's all scratched in under a week of getting in and out of my pants... It shouldn't scratch like that.

I've already order a Spigen one for 14$ instead of the 45$...
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] IIIPowerIII:
I can't add more pictures to my post but here's the scratch. I didn't put it on any hard surface, it was in my pants all day unless I used it, in my hand at home.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] wase4711:
45 dollars for a cheapo silicone case??

OMG, they should send you a dinner ticket with it for that price..

Check Amazon for excellent clear silicone cases for under 10 bucks
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] IIIPowerIII:
It's not in silicone but some hard plastic :P

I ordered the official one because the N6 one was a nice case and all others had a long delivery, about a month but I've found some Spigen that had 1 day delivery.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] wase4711:
I just got this one for 8 bucks, and its really nice...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LPT1XTG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm done overpaying for cases...
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] uploder:
agreed x100000. The official slim case was nowhere near worth the price and I only bought it because I a case on day one. Currently looking for cases now to replace immediately
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] mazorcajones:
Got this one in black for $3 with coupon last week. Decent even at regular price, especially now that I see the official case is of similar or worse quality. Waiting on my Cruzerlite case to ship as well.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] wase4711:
nice; 3 dollars is better than 8..

did you order your Cruzerlite on Amazon too?

do you happen to have a link to it?

thanks
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] ChrisAC84:
I ordered this case, but I am sending it back when it arrives. I've got the Spigen Rugged armor on the way, should be here tomorrow. Only paid $16 for it
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] thetonyclifton:
Mine didnt scratch that badly that quickly but it did scratch almost immediately but it is also just not a good case.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] IIIPowerIII:
I ordered the same as you. The neo hybrid was looking better but was also almost X2 more expensive.

I should receive it today too.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] aznblade:
Even though it's $40 CAD here. It's the only case I like so I ended up purchasing it for now till more ultra slim or slim cases comes out. Never liked TPU cases nor the current Spigen cases that are out there but I quite like the case design on the Google case.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Mdizzle1:
My official Google case arrived today in grey and I have to say it is very nice. The finish is soft to touch silicon but has a thin polycarbonate core and also has a very nice microfiber lining which should hopefully stop it getting scratched as is the case with hard cases usually. The case also doesn't add much bulk to the phone but it feels like it will offer adequate drop protection.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] bazofia:
would love if you can send your feedback once you receive it
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] NWTSCL:
I completely agree with the OP. This case is terrible. I used it long enough to put it on the phone, place it down (gently!) onto my desk, pick it up again, turn on the phone to set it up for its first use, and plug the cable in. After the setup was complete, I picked up the phone again and the case more than a dozen a scratches!

My phone had what I thought was a defect with the paint, so I called Google Support. They wanted me to email a photo, so I removed the case and it snapped!

Fortunately Google agreed to a full refund, but this case is an embarrassment.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] thetonyclifton:
I assume you are talking about the silicone case? I am loathe to fork out more money to google on cases since I was so disappointed with the clear case, the coloured cases do look to be better though.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] thetonyclifton:
Damn, sorry to hear that, glad to hear you got a refund.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] Mdizzle1:
Yeah it's the silicon one but it has a rigid core so holds its shape like a polycarbonate one. The case has a premium feel to it, not worth £29 that I paid for it, but I'm hoping that the microfiber lining will save my phone from getting scratched which will be worth it in the long run.

I've also got a skin coming from slickwraps but I am expecting it to take a fair while to reach me in the UK.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] JasonJoel:
I got the polycarbonate Google case. I like the fit and feel a lot, so will keep using it.

The outside scratches very easily though, as has already been mentioned.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] jackdforme:
Had both the Grey Silicone and the Poly clear come today.

First, even if they gave me the poly clear I'd never use it. What a POS. Sharp, scratched in the box, odd finish feel between the frosted and the top. Just terrible.

The Silicone is better but also thick. Its worth noting the button covers on the silicone caused google to stop the hard plastic from continuing totally along the right line of the case by the display. What that means is that the area above the buttons flaps like a broken piece of rubber.

Overall, I'll be getting my money back on both cases, google should be ashamed at the QC or price or both for these cases.

$7.99 Bear Motion came at the same time and I was like, wow that's a much better case.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] aznblade:
Got my clear case and I am liking the feel and fit also minus all the tiny scuff marks I did already and for some reason, there are some oily patterns on the glossy clear part. Not sure what is it maybe it's the coating inside the case? but i will continue to use it regardless since I can't find a case similar to this one.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] jackdforme:
It means it's garbage because it has not dot inlay, no smoothed edges, no scratch resistance. These are all fine if the case is an Amazon special. Not an OEM that you paid $30 for.

At that price, my standards are also high.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] aznblade:
i guess one man's garbage is another man's treasure? i am no means of defending the case but i don't think it's a bad case overall but i do agree about the price being ridiculous and for $30 usd, i am not sure how did google even came up with this price with all these issues plaguing it.

would i recommend it? probably not but if you are dead set on a case like this then be wary about the issues. i will definitely be finding a replacement but for now, i'm not too fussy about it as the pixel only launch two weeks ago and there is little to few cases that catches my eye (i am in canada so the only choices around here (so far on amazon) are the spigen and tpu cases which i am not so keen on those.)
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
I'm thinking of biting the bullet and getting the Google Clear case. There is nothing out there like it in terms of look and it is really the only one catching my eye. Also none of the really good thin manufacturers are jumping to create one(Peel, CaliCase, etc.). I have a TPU on it now but hate the feel and thickness.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
Just got the official case. While I agree that this thing should not be $30, it's much nicer than the TPU I've been using. Fit is perfect and the two tone of the back is great. I'm sure the clear part will get scratched bit until another brand comes out with something comparable style wise, I'm sticking with it.

Super slim and light, looks great(for now), and feels great in the hand.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] thetonyclifton:
Really you think it feels good? (that is a genuine question, nor being a smart ass). I thought it felt OK at best, until you touch the lip at the sides of the screen and then it screams £2 case.

The clear bit does get scratched up easily and mine showed a watermark like look where small parts of the phone touch the case, it shouldn't do that, simple but poorly made design decisions IMO.
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
I meant the back part. It feels close to the actual phone back due to the two tone material. I had a TPU on it for a while and loathed the feel of that thing. Felt greasy.

Totally agree on your comments about the clear area. Plan on replacing this when something better comes along.

I came across this term DSP ( Demand Side Platform ) through one of my friend where you can target the right target audience & thus App developers monetize the inventory. I think even adsense offers you the option for customizing your target audience based on your preference. But this is completely new me, any insight about how DSP works would be a good thing to know.

Thanks.

the time arrived and need to replace the back cover in my z1c .

i read once somewhere that japanese:confused: model z1s :confused:

is better for photo capturing,any thoughts or suggestions?:)thanks
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] CmDaRkShAdOw:
I don't think so. In back cover there is only only small plastic protector which doesn't affect on photo quality. Hope you understood me.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] templeka:
There are some issues with the backcover and flash or even bright light reflection that makes the photos look weird. I personally used a skin on the back (one that looks like carbon fiber) and had no issues and also no more scratches.

Something like this but only for the back not the whole wrap thing: https://www.amazon.com/Skinomi-TechSkin-Protector-Invisible-Anti-Bubble/dp/B00HS7NRP8

[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] templeka:
Well yes you can try the glass one and that might fix the bleed issues but with the skin covering the back you fix the issue 100% and also you don't have to worry about scratches. The skin I have was bought about 2 years ago and it's looking great even now, it's like new. Even resisted a hairdryer when I had to take the back off to replace my battery.

and already have installed viper FX.

can you tell me steps to install ARISE ??
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dodo2244:
I think it will be better to remove the Viper FX first. Try dirty flashing your A7 rom, then flash the ARISE zip

I never installed any sound mods. But I want to try ARISE. But the problem is that in case I don't like it I would need to dirty flash. Does dirty flash mean that I'd lose my personal settings?

And which version of J7 phone did you try this on? 2015 or 2016?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dodo2244:
Yes. But you could make a backup of data and system.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] glenalm:
You mean /data and /system?

Also did you install the sound mod on the 2015 or 2016 version?

J7 2015. Take a full backup in TWRP. Restore only data and system to roll back.

Do you mean making a backup of the data partition? If so then I can't for my phone. For anything else I can. Let me know.
