I always use a OtterBox Commuter series on all my phones but I don't think they are making it for the 7pro.

I bought the casemate one from Google and then returned it. Finger print magnet and the sides aren't that high for my liking.

Then I brought the Otter Box Defender which obviously protected the phone well but it was too darn big and bulky. The screen protector was being pushed off as well with it....Returned it...

I ended up buying and keeping the Spigen Tough Armor...

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Experge:
Got the Bellroy "Leather" case.

Feels good, fits well, buttons are clicky. But the material is not durable, it's not actually leather and tears apart easily. Not worth the price.

Pictures - less than 4 days of use.

Spigen case but the Hazel one from the G-Store will be here this week and Tocol Screen Protector. I love that one. You can't tell it's even on there
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
Did you end up going with a glass cover of some sort for the camera bar? I saw reports that the single sticker that comes with the WSD is cheesy and not very good. If you did get another protector for the camera bar, which one was it?

Are you using wireless charging? The defender is advertising as being compatible with wireless charging. I believe I will be waiting wireless charges to preserve the charging port since it is soldered to the main board. I am worried wireless charging won't work well through this thi k case though. What wireless charging pads are you using? Ideally I'll be getting slow, trickle wireless chargers for the bedside for over night charging with a fast charging wireless charger to put in the kitchen that we can put our phones on during the day if ever we need a battery boost in a hurry to get through the day.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No - we didn't use those last year with our Pixel 6 Pros, either, but especially now that the area surrounding the cameras is metal instead of glass, I don't feel there's a need to. I've never broken the lens over a camera.

No, I never use wireless charging. I just tested wireless charging through the OtterBox Defender, with a bed-side phone clamp I use for reading, that I never use the wireless charging capability on, and it was indeed charging. It's a cheap brand of clamp, though, so I can't report on any particular brand of wireless charging pad, but seeing as this cheap one works, I'd figure pretty much any decent quality one would.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Misterxtc:
It's a no go with the Otterbox Defender Pro case and Zagg. The plastic frame of the case sits right on the edge of the protector. I didn't even bother to snap it together, the case is going back to Verizon. I haven't had any issues with my other two cases.

EDIT: I did quickly try the case put together and it did start to lift the screen protector. Glad I caught before it ruined it. It's a shame because I do like the case.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
Is there a reason the OtterBox defender pro for the p7p is only available direct from OtterBox? It's not listed on Amazon or eBay. I have Amazon gift cards and wish it were available there, so I could use those cards up.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] RebDovid:
I found it on Amazon., but it's not deliverable until 7-8 December. It's available currently, and for 20% off, at Verizon.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Schroeder09:
That's not the OtterBox defender

pro

.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] RebDovid:
My apologies, not being familiar with OtterBox, I inferred from the fact that the listing says the case is for the P7 Pro to mean it is the pro model.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I got our Defender Pro cases from Verizon (like @RebDovid said - they were cheaper through them). I have no idea on what/where/why, though. Verizon was the cheapest for our Defender Pro cases on the P6P last year, too.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Ghisy:
After a couple of days of using my P7P, I have to say I'm really liking the Caseology Athlex case! Sure, it feels different from my usual Spigen Rugged Armor but it's a nice change :)

I still have a Rugged Armor as a spare, just in case! (pun intended)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] tonyfiore75:
My experience is exactly the same. I like the aesthetic but what the hell kind of leather is this? Each year there seems to less leather in their leather. I mean, isn't that what they do? Isn't that the reason for the high price tag? I kinda feel ripped off.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] thomashacked:
Hello Everyone I just got the ringkey clear case and I can say it feels nice and premium and just nice, I got that case cause I have the hazel colour phone.

I will soon be getting a screen protector one of the UV ones.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] RebDovid:
How far above the main (flat) part of the screen are the side edges?

Based on my experience, I can recommend the IMBZBK protector. Although I haven't tried the Whitestone Dome, this YouTube review of both protectors, along with eight others, suggests that the Whitestone is more prone to mishaps during installation.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] thomashacked:
it's only the top and Bottom part that protudes from screen.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] mochamoo:
I ended up putting the IMBZBK on both of our P7Pros today. First time using this type of glass protector. Wasn't as scary as it looked. Glue spread evenly on the first with no trouble. 2nd one took longer to reach the bottom. My fault for pressing down a little near the top when I shouldn't have. But it did get there finally. A few teeny bubbles that I was able to get rid of by gently sliding the protector a teeny bit BEFORE curing. That's the key. Both looking great. Still have one to spare.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
Someone may have posted in here already and some may even disagree but don't waste your money on the cases from the Google Store. I got the Hazel - it's more like Grey I put it and my phone side by side, and it doesn't seem like it has much protection to it
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
Yeah, mine says due to arrive today and on the other side, I have the "Moving through the network" thing
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Misterxtc:
Yeah that's strange. Mine says it's still moving through the network but Google already credited my account a few days ago.

Anyone in India been able to source a proper tempered glass?

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] marcinsu:
Does anyone know where you can buy foil for the rear cameras?

View attachment 5751343

I had a kit with WhiteStone but peeled off the foil from the wrong side and only fit to be thrown away.

I can't find the same anywhere else.

If someone had a problem with how to put it on, I recommend watching this movie beforehand (unfortunately I didn't do it):
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ZooBaAr:
Coming from aP6P I had a leftover IMBZ??? tpu skin that I applied, I liked it on the 6 and it fits very well on the 7p.

3 days and no lifting on the edges.

dust disappears and FP works but I love the face unlock so idc about fp.

It was inexpensive so plus.

too many letters tpu ;-)

I like to carry my cards drivers lic etc, too so got a thick case, yes, but very solid and like it . Big like an otterbox but way less$$$

So the Nillkin case is taking its sweet time to arrive...

I didn't like the Rugged Armor much, so I got a Caseology Athlex case and OMG I love how it feels in the hand. This one is gonna be hard to beat. Absolutely love it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] LondoJowo:
I've been using Supcase Beetle Pro cases with my Pixels (2, 4a5G, 6) and decide to got with one for my 7 Pro. I like the fact the screen protector is built in . The email I received on my (6) trade in state my phone exceeded the condition requirements. Though they still just gave me the $440.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] jaseman:
How does the built in screen protector work with a curved screen?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] thomashacked:
**** this whitesone dome screen protector, I know I am the idiot, I screwed it up 2 times where I got a bubble on the screen where the glue would not set, this I am not doing aging, my patience ran out I can tell you guys that, aging this is all my fault as I am clumsy but yea that is just how it is, I will get the panzerglass instead and see if I can do that better.

Spigen Neo Flex Screen Protector vs Whitestone Dome

When I first got my P7P i purchased the Spigen Neo Flex screen protector due to the fact that it was readily available and I'm little paranoid about not having one on the phone. Installing it wasn't too bad. I don't find any of them 'easy' but that's probably because I'm always paranoid I'm going to mess it up. LOTS of experience in that department. I have my cleaning wipes ready, compressed air, etc. It's definitely a production. Anyway, it's a film, unlike the Whitestone Dome product. It served its purpose but I can't say I really love screen protectors that are film. I've had my share of them over the years. Some are better than others but ultimately I feel that it does somewhat degrade from the overall clarity of the display. But like I said, it did its job and I really can't complain too much about it.

Yesterday I received my Whitestone Dome screen protector. Amazingly, I got it installed without issue, which is more than I can say about the previous Whitestone installations. Again, it is a bit of a project in my opinion. This time around, though, I got it done in one fell swoop without tearing my hair out or having to use the second one provided in the box. I do keep a video of it being installed in front of me while I do it just because I don't want to miss a beat and the instructions they provide in the box are crapola. And for whatever reason, the video on their web site for the P7P was not loading up for me. Whatever. I will say that I MUCH prefer the Whitestone Dome to the Spigen product. It doesn't feel like you have anything on your phone at all. The touch responsiveness seems better, especially with regard to the fingerprint sensor, than the Spigen. And overall I just feel like my screen is much more protected than it was with the Spigen product. I have seen phones take a spill with the Whitestone Dome on them. The Whitestone Dome may crack but it saves the phone's screen from cracking and that's all I really need to know.

So to sum it all up... the Spigen is an 'ok' screen protector which I don't really feel is worth the price. It'll do the job, mostly, and it'll give you some sense of protection with it on. But you do know it's there when using the phone. The Whitestone Dome is a far superior product. Yes, a bit expensive but not nearly as expensive as having to get your screen replaced. And I do NOT want to have to send my phone to Google to get some refurbished piece of garbage. I had to send 2 of them back with my P6P through no fault of my own; so I want to make sure I do what I can to protect this ridiculously expensive purchase.

So yeah - Whitestone Dome has my stamp of approval as long as you take your time with installation.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] thetrailofdead:
I tried both the Spigen Liquid Air and Slim Fit cases and returned the Slim Fit. They both felt similar bulk wise, with the Slim Fit maybe slightly slimmer but basically the same, but the Slim Fit didnt feel as nice, more rubbery. Whereas the Liquid Air texture feels almost cloth like.

Still waiting for my aramid fiber case from aliexpress.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Bought a Spigen Tough Armour but returned it. Added a bit too much bulk and out of the cases I tried, it was the only one that resulted in my screen protector starting to peel off in a couple of the corners. It also made the phone look a bit s**t for me when in the hand, more so than the photos did.

I don't think Otterbox are going to release the Strada folio case for this device (they didn't on the Pixel 6 Pro) so I've gone for something similar. Not cheap, but looks fantastic and is genuine leather, not the PU rubbish that falls apart after 6 months. My only concern is the lack of perforations for the earpiece, but should still be usable with a bit more volume.

It arrived a few hours back. Goes on lovely and feels great in the hand. You can tell it will last for some time, highly recommended, Some pics attached.

The rear is completely protected, I put some tape either side of the black lens protector, but it can't be seen.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] shiftr182:
I've been using film protectors on any phone with a curved screen until now. I decided to bite the bullet and go with whitestone for the 7 pro. I managed to get 20% off on preorder which helped me with the decision. I have never installed a loca glue protector before, but I watched several videos ahead of time. I prepped everything when i got it, double checked that I had everything the way I wanted it, then went ahead with the install. The first time installing a whitestone and it went perfect! I am so happy to have a tempered glass protector on my phone :)

In regards to the case, I have the Google chalk, and both spigen ultra hybrids (clear & black). All work well and have no interference with the screen protector.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dr.wtf:
Does it mess up the compass? I had several of such cases and if they had a magnet on, compass was useless
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Don't want a glass protector on my phone, which is why a flip case is my choice. That combined with a well installed film screen protector covers all eventualities.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Works fine, but I believe this phone's compass doesn't work on magnetism so I'd be surprised if it had an issue.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] whitewallman:
I ordered this tempered glass screen protector from Amazon and I'm 100% satisfied. And I'm very particular about screen protectors. Install went smoothly and it's virtually invisible! The fit is unbelievably accurate! No hole punch cutout for selfie camera and fingerprint sensor works great! It's as if it's not even there.. I only wish it came with a small one for the rear camera as well.

The Nillkin Nylon Fiber case arrived , here is what it looks like. It's a decent thin case, but I still prefer the Caseology Athlex for daily use, even if it's a bit bulkier.

Also, I applied a Whitestone Dome UV Gen Film (not the tempered glass) and it's okay, just a few bubbles here and there but it doesn't bother me.

Was using the Spigen Liquid Air but I like these cases more better protection better grip, and some of the best tactical textured and angled buttons on any case I've seen

Got the Whitestone glass protector. The kit looked complicated but after watching a video twice, the installation went incredibly smoothly without a hitch. They really thought through the process and made it foolproof. My only complaint is the camera bar protector. They kinda "cheaped out" there because there's just one, and there's no label nor instructions (and the videos online didn't include that part) or I'm just dumb, cos I had no idea which side was right and didn't get it on properly the first pass.

Pairing it with a Bellroy leather case despite the bad reviews, figured I'll give it a try myself.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] RebDovid:
I'm glad your satisfied with your choice. On watching the instructional video, however, I was concerned that it illustrates installation of the protector on a non-P7P (or even P6P) phone. Also, despite emphasizing the importance of installing on a flat surface, it doesn't include a bubble level, which the IMBZBK builds into the installation frame. Nevertheless, it's good to know that we now appear to have three workable choices: the Ni-SHEN, IMBZBK, and Whitestone.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] synesthete:
I was thinking about getting that Nillkin Nylon Fiber case. Since youo mentioned that you prefer the Athlex, I am curious what you don't like about the Nillkin. I just want to know so I don't buy something that I end up not liking. Does it feel grippy with that texture? The case does look quite thin in your photos, so I'm guessing that the Athlex probably provides better drop protection.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Somar77:
Nillkin is a bit slippery for me...Athlex is much more grippy and offers much more protection.

I got a Spigen Liquid Air and it's amazing. I had it on my OP9 and I dropped my phone so many times, including facedown on pavement and nothing ever cracked. No brainer to buy one for the Pixel.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Bxperiaz3:
I made a thread specifically for the type of case I'm interested in as this seems a bit general, but it got closed, so I guess I'm posting in here now. Has anyone tried a peel case by any chance? I don't want a carbon fibre one. And I like the camera cutout on the back. Only issue is it's $55 delivered plus fees 🥲
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] tony1208:
Anyone try the zagg screen protector from the Google store? Or casemate one?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Misterxtc:
I did and it wasn't all that great. It scratches fairly easy and did not play well with the Otterbox Defender case. The install process is decent but a little tricky too. I ended up putting a cheap TPU one on and it's been fine.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Bxperiaz3:
Went for the peel case in the end. Waiting patiently for it to arrive. If anyone would like to get one I got two for one so can do a deal with someone
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Linwood.Ferguson:
Any recommendations for a minimalist case that has a cutout for buttons? For the 6P I used one sold on amazon under the brand Aorstke, but there's nothing for the 7P like that I have found so far. Mostly looking for a grip not so much protection, or at least heavy protection.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] boontje3:

It's not protective on the front of the screen, it's exactly the same level of the screen. For me it's not an issue i always use a pouch bag from fitbag.

On the back it's raised so no problem.

Hello

I really like Parallax case because it's a good protection and it's not glissy.

I've bought a Rhinoshield case too, and my feeling is not good in hand.

I think the Rhinoshield case is a better protection, but it's very glissy too.

So i prefer the Parallax for this reason.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
That doesn't offer anywhere near enough protection for me.

Got myself a nice Skin to stick below my protector. Don't believe skins cut it when it comes to protection, but they offer something decent if you have a good transparent cover. It also came with a transparent camera bar protector.

Whitestone Dome Glass

Ghostek Nautical Slim Case - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BMDQCPM6?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

That is easily the slimmest full protection case and it looks damn good. My only recommendation is do NOT use this with the Whitestone Dome Glass. The pressure the case applies, caused some bubbles on the Whitestone.

Also got this instead of my normal Ringke Fusion (or Spigen equivalent) since this has a Mag ring embedded. Pretty much the exact same case... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BG6DBTNN?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Linwood.Ferguson:
I received the P7 and the case above today. It is exactly what I wanted -- minimal protection, very thin, buttons exposed. Very tiny lip around the cameras and for the front for flat surfaces, no real protection on rough surfaces. The (supposedly) carbon fiber body has enough texture to provide a good grip. Rather pricy but exactly what I was looking for.
