Took plunge from 2XL with $235 trade. Phone still does everything I could ask, just no more updates. Anyone see a difference/downgrade in resolution?

Some stuff sold out on Amazon. Wanted thin case. Went to Spigen direct

https://www.spigen.com/collections/pixel-4a

30% off still active for BF.

Went ahead and got everything here. Liquid Armor, and glass for screen and camera.

Glass seems way expensive compared to what is available in Amazon. Anyone think there is a difference/worth the cost?

Camera protector is new to me. Might as well. Apple rejected a trade in last year because lens cover was cracked.

Liquid Armor...slim and textured with Adequate protection. First time in several generations of devices that I will not have a Diztronic case. Always loved them.

Have also grown used to sticking a pop-up handle on the back. Used to think they are gimmicky....but quickly grew used to it. Still slides in pocket. Really helps with one handed operation and makes phone way more secure in hand. Works as kickstand also! Wonder if there will be a problem with it sticking to the textured back of Liquid Armor?

I too think the screen in the P2XL is somewhat better when it comes to font crispness and contrast black on white. Colors seem a bit better on the 4a 5G.

I also agree that I could have gotten another year out of the P2XL if not for lack of updates.

It doesn't feel that the 4a 5G is an upgrade, more like a sideways move.

I got the spigen glass screen protector, and case. I agree the template to install the glass was awesome, and my application looks perfect. Also the case fits perfect around the screen cover. I am glad I went with a name brand, vs crappy stuff off ebay.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] akenis:
Screen broke 10 seconds after opening box! Slick and delicate device. It dropped about 3 inches onto counter.

Anyway, Spigen Liquid armor and screen protectors arrived today. Case is nice and has good grip. I also got the tempered glass for the camera cluster:

Google Pixel 4a (5G) Optik Lens Protector

This Google Pixel 4a (5G) Optik Lens Protector lays over the cameras to allow for a clean and flat look while keeping your cameras scratch free. A simple and satisfying improvement for the perfectionist out there.

www.spigen.com

Question: I can only see 4 sensors on camera. Guessing regular lens, wide angle lens, flash and light sensor. But the protector has 5 cutouts. What is the 5th (smallest) cutout for? From the picture, it looks like it should be oriented toward the bottom.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] LastQuestion:
No Halo effect? coverage is the entire screen?

Can you share a picture of the install spigen protector?
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] dadozer:
The Pixel 4 has an extra hole on the camera bump (second NC microphone? not sure what it is). Might just be for fitting P4 too

Has anyone gotten a Peel Case for the 4a5g? Or something similar that thin?

Super Thin Pixel 4a Case

Peel is the original and best super thin Pixel 4a case. Just 0.35mm thin and branding free, it's designed to keep the original look of your phone while protecting it. Ditch the bulk and slim down with Peel. Available in multiple colors.

I had one on my original Pixel and loved it, just wondering how it works now that the cameras on phones are not flush with the back anymore...

I like this one a lot. It's cheap, but I wanted something quick. I figured I could replace it later when better options are available but I think I'm keeping it. The red one looks nice.

Edit: forgot to mention that the included screen protector is worthless.

Supcase UB Pro RED just came in. I ordered it from Wal-mart. Said it would be here on the 17th. Solid case. No creaks. I took my glass screen protector off and left the plastic one that comes with the case. No issues with touch or any rainbow effect, though it is shiny. The camera is deep, no fear of it cracking, still have protector over it for scratches but will probably replace it with a dbrand sticker. Overall, phone feels protected, kickstand is great and the grip is there on the edges.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] rspkt:
I picked up a pack of LK screen protectors like I had for my 3XL. I know sometimes they aren't perfect sometimes with the adhesion despite my best efforts but they do get the job done more than sufficiently. The one for my 4a (5G) had no issues with adhesion and applied flawlessly. That and the fact they offer a

lifetime warranty

which I've used numerous times for replacement screens free of charge is more than worth the cost of them and any minor issues they might have. They did also come with free camera protectors but I didn't use those (see my next paragraph). Overall, I'd rate them an 8/10. For around $10, you're not going to find better. Rather that than spend 2x-3x more for ones that might be better but will eventually break and don't have free replacements under warranty. It's a no brainer.

I also picked up the Spigen Liquid Air case with the triangle design (pics posted eaerlier in the thread by @bkdodger) which is similar to the Rugged one I had for my 3XL. The case fits perfectly, feels infinitely more "grippy" and is exactly the kind of profile I want on my phone case. I also snagged their camera screen protectors which are definitely superb quality and still lays below the depth of the Spigen Liquid Air case so even when the phone is laying flat on it's back the camera screen protector/camera array doesn't make contact with the surface it's sitting on.

Overall, quite pleased with the entire combination of LK protectors, Spigen case, and Spigen camera protectors. (y)
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] entropism:
I picked up a 3 pack of LK protectors as they're my usualy go-to brand, and they were hot garbage. The best one didn't adhere on the bottom left edge, the worst were a halo all around. I got a replacement pack of Omotons and they worked near perfectly. The worst part about cheap protectors is the lack of QC, one pack can be drastically worse than the next.

As for cases, I have 3 I really like: The Caseology Parallax in green, the Gear4 Wembley Palette, and this no-name case off amazon, which is surprisingly nice: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08KT7XLPN/
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] Crappyvate:
Same here, bought a pack of LK on amz, even though application was flawless it left a halo all around and adhesion left a lot to be desired. Really wanted the spigen but they seem to be sold out everywhere! I guess I'll go for the Moron.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] wodurrah:
The Moment case for the 4a 5g may seem like an odd choice. It is really meant to be able to add a lens to the phone. I bought the case because the harness for the lens also give your camera bump additional protection. Now i dont have to get one of those glass screen protectors just for the camera bump. The case is only $20 right now.

The texture on back of phone is great in hand. Only small issue is that i think they cut this phone protector to be able to fit the regula 4a 5g and the verizon 5g UW version. There is a very small bit of give to the case, but it wont affect your day to day.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] coolpoete:
I had this case on my LG G7 and it is the best case I've owned to date. Very sturdy, nice confident feel and plenty of grip. It ages well and is not easily scratched or damaged. I see it's on sale here now, cheaper than on Amazon. The only reason I haven't gotten it so far is because it doesn't work well (enough) with my car magnetic mount, but I may still change my mind about it.

[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] FooYoungHi:
I'm looking for a case for my device, and I've been thinking:

Is it possible to put a dbrand skin on the back and cover that up with a transparent case? The skin likely won't protect the phone, so an extra layer of protection is nice. Most quality cases look like crap, however. Has anyone tried this combination?
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] Bear3825:
I picked up the Omoton screen protectors and the Ghostek Covert 4 cases for the wife and I. Great fit on the case and glass. No halo and easy install with frame for glass. Really happy all around.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] GoldElocks:
I just applied a Dbrand skin I received today and rocking it with a Spigen ultra hybrid. So far I'm really liking the combination.

[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] coolpoete:
A word of caution with cases and D-Brand skins: Use the bottom-only skin because the case will cause the side skins to peel up/off.

[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] jwildman16:
I second the Caseology Parallax case. Great feel in the hand, fits well, front edges aren't too tall, and feels solid. Best part is that the buttons are just as clicky as without the case. I bought that for my wife and got myself this $4 crystal clear case on eBay. It's also a good case but the front edges are a little high for my liking and the buttons don't maintain their clickiness.

Hey I just got back on the forums, I have been through the ordeal of having two LG's back to back and then when my contract ended I decided to go to team pixel.

My story with cases would normally be just a regular TPU case, usually blue.

I had a blue TPC case with the nexus 4 I had

I had none with the successor, an lg G5 ( what have I done??) not even a year in a3-year contract, screen had to be replaced, once replaced with a tempered glass on top of it it found a way to drop on the only place it wasn't protected.

After dealing with the cell phone provider, I was presented with an Lg G7 one. being in the same family has the g5 with glass all around, I decided to go bold with a two-peice tpu and plastic screen protector.

with two kids at home often dropping lended mobile equipment, it surely did the thing. I've taken the phone off it protector recently, and realised that both glass top corners were smashed, even if the phone was ok.

now to the pixel that I have just received today. I was happy that the phone was back with a sturdier material for it's back. so I went back to TPU case alone. Expecting it saturday, it's clear with White Graphics

View attachment 5180803

The black color will br provided by the phone's color.

do you guys recommend tempered glass as well?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] coolpoete:
I would always recommend a tempered glass screen protector.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] PhilipTD:
Is the fabric soft? I don't know which Nest speaker you mean, but I have a Home, Hub, and Mini, and the fabric covering the speakers on all of them is pretty hard and rough. And the official fabric case is made out of plastic bottles? TIA
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] Flynch3211:
The nest is the new name for google home gen 2 speakers with assistants in it

so if I were to look for tempered glass which companies should I go to and which to avoid 100%? Thanks
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] Flynch3211:
That and I just realized...

if the phone looks good as it is and you want protection, why go for a cover that hides the beautifulness of the coloror it's design. True, I have been using colored cases before, but why must I sacrifice beauty for protection nowadays?. that why I love my new case, it clear with rugged white inserts so I can still see the phone

thoughts?
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] OptoChip:
I bought this LK 3pcs Screen Protector Tempered Glass on Amazon (it says 4 pack but it's only a 3 pack) and I don't know if I'd recommend it.

The alignment tool worked fine and the glass itself seems ok, but if the glass is centered to the display itself the cutout for the front facing camera won't line up. If I align the protector to the selfie camera, an edge of the protector won't align properly along the edge of the display and leave an airbubble / gap.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] Flynch3211:
soo that means I should avoid the lk ones
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] coolpoete:
Yeah, I had much more success with the Omoton brand instead.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] gbarayah:
Definitely recommend a tempered glass screen protector, especially with kids around. I went with the Voler branded ones from Amazon and the fitment is spot on and works great with a Spigen Rugged Armor case. It's quite utilitarian in design and looks, but it is great. Adds some good grip and protection without being bulky. Reminds me of the Diztronic cases of years past.

Love the look of the TPU you picked out - would love to see a picture of the case with the device in it when you get it.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] warrencoakley:
They are rubbish. I had them too. Not cut properly. Go for the Spigen. They are better
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] OptoChip:
The only thing that turned me off about the Spigen is the lack of selfie camera cutout. I've come to love and trust anything Spigen really, I would have never cared before about the selfie camera but now that I have a baby boy the selfie camera quality matters for pictures / video chatting.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] mrdeucie:
For the screen protector I bought the Supershieldz one and have not had an issue with it yet.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] HiddenKnight:
I purchased a Mous Limitless 3.0 case for my Pixel 4a 5g. Since I work in the electronics repair world and mange a store, I use ProtectionPro and had cut my own edge to edge display vinyl protector with healing properties. Also cut a camo vinyl print for the rear of the device. Perfect little combo so far.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] warrencoakley:
It does not effect the selfie camera quality in anyway

Speck Case

Very durable, my favorite case so far. Nice grip feel, great protection and fits well with screen protectors. I wouldn't suggest using it with a skin like I am, at least one that wraps all the way around. The sides will peel off, this has a nice tight fit to it. I've used this on my previous LG G7 for over a year and it still looks new. The case wears well over time. No looseness or instability after repeatedly taking it on and off.

Just applied the Spigen screen protector a few days ago, it's flawless. It's 1mm larger than the screen on the sides, and a bit more on top and bottom.Very easy to install with the included tool. It's practically invisible when applied, and doesn't distort the edges, being slightly larger than the screen.

It doesn't have a hole for the front camera, but pictures turn up perfect anyways.

Really recommend it. Now i have to apply this matte white Dbrand skin i just recieved.

Edit : Done, looks great !
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Accessories] gbarayah:
Love the look of the matte skin! Reminds me of the Panda 2XL.

How is the grip with the matte skin applied on the phone? Is it better or worse than the naked device?

It's better, for sure ! It looks matte, but it's not slippery :)

Follow up on my prevous post : I had to remove the Spigen screen protector.

It was causing ghost touches while scrolling (imagine scrolling through the discover feed or facebook and it clicks three times on a link on it's own). Because of this, typing could also be pretty hard (missing letter, ect). Tried to fit a new one, same thing.

Removed it, all is good.

Shame, because the screen protector looked great and felt great to the touch.
