    Solid price but personally think the Google cases are inferior because of fitment (slightly loose).

      Mine fits great. Much better than the P6P one I had at release. Now have a P6.

      I got lucky and got mine for $5 from an Officeworks bargain bin.

        Crappy QC. My partners launch P6P Golden Glow case fit perfectly. My initial launch P6P Stormy case had the phone moving about inside the case, swapped it out for another one, fitment still isn't great, but doesn't feel like a weight is moving about everytime I move at least.

        • The thing about a fitment is that you can’t tell if it fits until you put it on

      Once they stretch they are trash. I got a refund on mine, it was annoyingly loose after 4 months

    • Looks like they have qc issues. I had two diff colours for my p6pro and both fit great. I've removed and put my phone back in maaaaany times and it still fits great and hasn't stretched.

    Some tech blogs seems to indicate that the official cases from Google tends to go yellow quite rapidly, due to an effect called photolysis

    So if you're buying this case, opt for the darker colors as the color changes are less pronounced.

      My light frost also yellowed. Have replaced with a Spigen and no issues and great fitment.

        Yet another Google pixel issue. Why am I not surprised

        • My pixel 6 has been flawless. Best phone I've had in a while. The case lasted me about a year then I decided to get a spigen with a cars holder.

      • Sure, it looks like a great fitment, to be sure. Spigen makes great cases. But how does it fit?

    • Is this not common with all/most clear silicone cases?

        all/most clear silicone cases?

        Which is usually given for free when you buy mid-range mobile phones from vendors like Xiaomi and sometimes Samsung.

        This is a $29 dollar product though, which puts it in the same price tier as some well established brands like Spigen and Speck.

        Not saying you shouldn't buy it, just saying the product's price doesn't reflect it's durability. The warping / loose fit is another issue as some users pointed out.

    I miss the older style pixel cases. Those looked and felt great!

    • The fabric ones? I loved those

  • I prefer those thick, black and hard cases.

    Only $10 on eBay.

    I used to love the Pixel fabric cases. These new ones are garbage, replaced mine very quickly. Now I use a Pela case. Rather expensive but feels nice and grippy in the hand and good protection.

    • Same boat here. Had used fabric cases for my previous 2XL, then got on to Pela. I now own a 6 with another Pela! Very grippy and great for the enviroment.

      • problem is last time my phone lasted longer than the pela case (it was biodegrading too quick it seems)

        • So Pela cases aren't a good choice either?

        • How long did you have it for? I had mine for 2 years without issue. It will slowly biodegrade and you will see some pulp coming through to the surface. Did it fall apart in your hand?

          • @Lanushi: nah it definitely wasn't like crumbling in my hands, but we used it for 2 years before the thinner part near the charging port ripped and it also felt like the case wasn't hugging the phone as tightly

  • I had one of the greenish coloured ones from launch and it had an alright run, protected the phone well but I wouldn't recommend getting one. After a couple of months yellowing was present. After maybe four months the sides of the case started stretching resulting in the side lip bulging outwards on either side.

    Much more happy with my spigen transparent ultra hybrid that I've had for a few months now.

    Worst case of have. Very slippery and hardly provides any drop protection.
    Best cases for any device IMHO are Spigen Thin fit cases, that provide good drop protection and grip without adding any bulk to the devices. And much cheaper compared to the cases sold by Apple, Google, Samsung etc. And you can always buy off ebay using deals/discount codes available every now and then.

    Bought mine at launch. The soft outer material was peeling off the hard plastic shell. Took it back to JB hi-fi a couple of weeks ago and they just gave me a refund

    These aren't very good. A few months of use and it stretched out where the volume and power button sits. I'm about ready to throw it in the bin

    • +1

      It might be a good idea to take it off the phone first

    • Same. Crap quality. Bought directly from Google, no refund.

    • Had the exact same thing and so did a friend. Cases are absolute shit which sucks as the old fabric cases Google did were so bloody good.

  • Do yourself a favour and grab a ghostek case for your p6pro. Although this is a good price for this case, for the same money on Amazon the ghostek is so much better

  • Agree with all the others. Poor fit and discolours quickly. Got mine free (Telstra points) and still feel ripped off. $7 AliExpress case is doing better.
