I'm guessing that we returning just the pixel phone itself and we keep the charger and USB cords??
Sent mine back last week. Just the phone.
Samsies, sent two phones back. Nothing else, no cords, screen protectors, box or cables.

Did you say you sent back 2 Samsung phones for a trade in? Google allowed the trade in of more than one phone?
Yeah same here. All the stuff from 2 pixel xl's an RMA xl, and now two more pixel 2 xl's. Plus I picked up a cord here and there. Using the n6 right now and forgot how much I loved this phone. Easiest to root, install roms... I used to brick this thing for fun. Plus the wireless charging.... I'm not a head phone jack guy. I actually use headphones now that Bluetooth is more available. Could care less about water proof. Don't get wet son. But the one thing I miss is wireless charging.

Oh so you bought 2 phones. That's why you could trade in 2 phones right?

According to the Google Store rep I have spoken to, only the phone is required for the trade-in. No need to send accesories.
My trade in kit came with just 1 bubble wrap envelope that's only big enough for just the phone and nothing else.

Yes. I'm considering either that or just adding some more bubble wrap protection directly to the phone. The envelope doesn't seem like it's enough to protect it going through the mail and I'm counting on my screen being not cracked so I can get the max trade in value.

I thought about that. If anything happens there is no real defense with just a picture. I would just tell the truth, "I can't control what happens to the phone once it's in the mail".
Plus there is some language somewhere that states the buyer is responsible for problems with the phone at some point in the RMA/trade in process. At work right now so can't pull the language to quote, but it's there.
I'm relying a bit on Google good will as well. This isn't the best option but Google is trying to play ball with the big boys i.e. apple, Samsung... And negative feedback on small issues that involve shipping is not a good look.
Just curious, has anyone who sent their phone back able to view that it has been received by Google? The trade in status button does not show anything yet on the play store.
Awesome! Extra USB-C supplies!
I think I'm going to go to the post office and see if with the pre print label they will let me put it in a priority box. It's already paid for priority shipping and I just dont trust that letter bubble wrapper envelope to keep my phone safe.
Are you guys actually sending your phones in that tiny bubble wrap envelope??? I'm going to put my Pixel XL in there and then into a box with more packaging then slapping the label on the box. I don't trust that tiny bubble wrap envelope to project the screen. And if they receive the phone with the screen broken, they're going to send it back to you!

Well my Hard-book Portenzo case with optional camera cutout and Intellistand arrived this morning. Have to say that the case is top quality and feels really sturdy.
Once again thanks to Portenzo for such an amazing case!
http://shop.portenzo.com/hardback-for-the-new-nexus-7/
Here are some pics
Even got a cool box drawing done by Lea who works in customer services.
Oh the pics above make it look like the case is a royal blue colour (damn flash).
It is really a "Dark linen blue" colour, here are some pics that are more accurate to the actual colour
Nice looking case, just don't really like how thick it looks when folded, and it's $54 shipped, too rich for my $260 device.

I have to say that I quite like the thickness as it is like holding a hardback book. Also the case feels very solid and I imagine it can withstand a few knocks.
Yeah it's not cheap, but it definately has a premium feel and is extremely well made.

How does it stay on there? Also seems like the edges would be a little vulnerable. I might get one of these for my lady.

It's got some sort of sticky grip tabs on it that hold the device in place.
You can check out the video I linked to see how it performs.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atSCZxbLg_E
I was abit worried about this when I read about it but this video assured me that it won't fall out or have problems keeping the device from moving about or coming out.
You might be right about the edges but the case is ever so slightly bigger than the Nexus7 so the edges of the device are covered so it would still offer some protection.
Do you have a wireless charger you could test?

How long did they take to make yours? I ordered mine back on August 8 and after contacting customer service, they stated that they hope to be done with my case by middle of next week.
I'm not sure if this is common, but the turn around times are terribly long.
I have an Orange one. I owned one on my OG N7 and loved it. The sticky tape never comes off. Owned it for months and never adjusted it or had to reapply. I don't have the intellistand. Mime has 2 strips of tape and the camera hole. I paid like $24+shipping for mine during their preorder sale.
Mines orange, yellow interior, and a red strap. The orange is more of a burnt orange, almost brownish. I like it.
Qi Charging works with it. I use my Samsung all the time.
Its a tad thicker then those Moko and Poetic Ultra cases (I have a white Moko). Both are close though. I'm using the moko for a week to see how I like it but I can already tell you the Portenzo feels more durable. The craftsmanship is great.

Yeah unfortunately they do get super busy during the first few weeks of a new product launch due to the demand.
They hand make every case and as far as I know they are only a company of about 10-12 workers.
Just be a little patient and I am sure you will get yours very soon.

Yeah the band also blocks the camera hole when the case is shut but that is normal as portenzo designed it like that to limit the amount of dust that can get into the lens when the case is shut and also you can't use the camera when the case lid is shut anyway.
Opening up the case allows the camera lens to become unblocked.

It takes them usually a few weeks. They handmake everything on the case to order. Its a small shop. Everything is custom made. I ordered one for my nexus as soon as they was offered and mine was just send thusday so ill have it monday. Yes i bought one of the nicer ones around 120 paid. But its the best case u will ever own. You could put it on ur bookshelf and noone would know the difference. It will take drops and everything. Call me crazy but ill pay for a USA handmade case, made with care then a cheapass overseas made one that dont last a month. Ive seem some people wind up paying more for cases of cheap crap then they could have paid for 1 nice Portenzo. Check they website out and see how real cases are made. But all this is just opion also. This is my 2nd case. My first one lasted 2 Original Nexus and still was in beautiful condition.

Mine came a couple weeks ago. Love it. I got black outside with sky blue inside with dark blue elastic. My sister's order is still awaiting shipment. Definitely a nice case.

Does everyone just have the hardback style or did anyone get the bookcase? If you got the bookcase, have you found a wireless charger that works with it? Neither of mine are working on the samsung qi charger.....
Hey guys, have you noticed, Google is a bit lazy this year. I still haven't seen sign of official bumpers on the play store and my phone won't last more enough without a case. Anyone knows when will they be released? I mean come on, it's been two weeks Google. Hurry.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah, they were supposed to release the official charger according to several sites as well. I wonder what the deal is!
I'm in the same dilemma too . I'm tempted to buy another case , since i'm scared i might drop my phone, Hope it comes out soon.
Google wants people to break their Nexus 5 so they will buy another Nexus 5
I'm really getting sick and tired of the supply problems with Google... Every single device that they release has supply issues and accessories are even worse. How hard can it be to make more devices for launch and have the official accessories ready to purchase at launch?!
They hype their products and "leak" details to get people interested and then don't produce. It's very frustrating. Anybody should be able to buy a nexus 5 or any accessories at launch and have it ship the next day.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
For $35, there are better cases to spend your money on.
They released it for a few minutes on N5's release day, a few people bought and got them, they haven't put it up since then
The official Google bumpers are terrible. They're bulky and they feel cheap. Not to mention they're not truly bumpers since they cover the back. I really don't recommend them.
I would not be surprised if they are working on a real bumper to replace the one they have now.....something like the N4 bumper would be nice

I just got mine from eBay and actually really like it. Fits awesome and feels really nice. It had kind of a weird back slope on the side of the case but it's still feels good in hand. Is it worth $35? Certainly not, but if you don't mind paying a little extra I think it's nice.

Good to know bud. Looked like the cover would protect the phone quite well.
This hurt, I'll try and post pictures but I managed to crack my Note 7 last night. Stopped at the bank jumped out of my truck and forgot it was on my lap. Took a plunge hit my step on my truck and then face down to the asphalt. Cracked left of the home button, doesn't seem bad and I could live with it but it's a new phone. Filed a claim already $200 later a phones on its way and should be here sometime Monday. Phones only about a week old, so much for this new gorilla glass but then again it was a pretty nasty fall. Anyhow just thought I would share with you guys.
Damn, that sux brother good thing you have insurance. I Cant ell you how many phones I've broken because I forgot it was in my lap. That's why I bought one of those magnetic car mounts and made it a habbit to always put my phone on there. Maybe you should consider something like that.

Yes there is a time line In which you have to get the review done, 10 days upon receiving the product. But there are no hidden fees it's totally free. The only catch is that sellers are looking for people with high stats. So before you sign up I recommend going to you Amazon profile and write up a bio for yourself. And either delete reviews that are really short or rewrite them before uploading you Amazon profile url to the site. Most sellers are looking for reliable reviewers so at first you might not get approved for things but once you getvthe ball rolling and your average word count goes up you'll start gettig all sorts of crap that you don't need haha

Here's the damage, got my phone yesterday and surprisingly I got sent a brand new unit sealed and all so I was quite happy about that. Of course my case (Spigen) for now came in as well haha. Put it on the new device right away. Also now have to figure out what to spend my Samsung pay money on since I found out I can't transfer that
All in all the phone took the plunge pretty well now that I think about it and think about how high my truck sits. Still sucks I had to shell out the extra money though.

You probably canceled your order for nothing. That video is about the Pixel 2 and not the Pixel 2 XL.
If you had done some research you'd see that the place where it snaps is where the antenna bands are on the Pixel 2, the Pixel 2 XL doesn't have it's antenna bands in the same place so it won't snap/bend.
Had a 6P and my phone never bent under every circumstances I gave it.
Pixel 2 XL could be different then the Pixel 2...

He said he couldn't cancel fast enough so he's getting it right? And do you really think the LG G6 fan ever really ordered it? The G6 was released in March so it's only been out around 6 months and he orders an XL 2? I guess anything is possible but the naysayers and trolls are invading like a Halloween mashup.
All in all I think the phone did pretty well in that silly test. What kind of water resistance does it have? I mean can you drop it into a bucket.. err toilet and pull it out and it not get damaged?
That isn't the 2XL. Plus JRE applies an obscene amount of force to the phones he tests.

Obvious you may perhaps be in the American minority Weight wise.

He said he couldn't cancel fast enough so he's getting it right? And do you really think the LG G6 fan ever really ordered it? The G6 was released in March so it's only been out around 6 months and he orders an XL 2? I guess anything is possible but the naysayers and trolls are invading like a Halloween mashup.

Or just don't try to break your phone in half. Or put in in your back pocket and sit on it (seriously, who does that??). Or try to cut it in half with a utility box cutter. These tests are so far removed from "real world" scenarios it is lunacy to base your device choice on them. He also called the Nexus 6P "a joke" and from a hardware perspective my 6P looks as good today as the day it was bought.
Seriously, re-order your Pixel 2, enjoy it when it arrives and ignore the pointless tests in that video.
Lol the paranoia going around in these forums about all these "issues" . Unreal

It's paranoia man. People seems to have a bit extra here one the Google pixel forums. Funny enough I went to a theme park where one of the rides applied a crazy amount of pressure to my lap where my phone was. The lap bar literally landed on top of my phone and was on it throughout the whole ride. Would you guess what happened? Absolutely nothing.

fyi I posted a yt video of p2xl water testing.
Believe it was the iFixit teardown where they showed the 2 XL has a magnesium core (aka strong) where its cousin the LG G6 had a plastic core. Seems OP may have gone the wrong direction...
I feel like I lost some iq points watching that. Scratching paint off with a utility knife is not a durability test. I'd never expect a phone to tolerate that.
Boring video.... I'll be partying with my badboy XL 2! Cheers ?????
Magnesium is stronger than aluminum and titanium. I think we're good

No sorry, just a video I came across on YT.
I happened to have access to another Pixel 2 XL the past several days and was shocked to see the big difference between screens/units if you are unlucky. I am one of those who initially thought people make the blue shift issue too big of a deal (because my unit was great, minimum shift). I was so wrong if you happened to own an extreme blue shift unit. I am sharing these details and photos for informational purposes and hope it helps those unlucky one to get a replacement or make a decision.
My comparison photos are not scientific. My unit also has a slim case when I took the photos but the blue shift is very real. I also swapped the position of phones between photos to make sure it is not the lighting, make sure both phones have the same Adaptive Brightness On & Off and both phones are at the same Brightness %.
The manufacture date for both units (LG's IMEI site) - The unit with the extreme blue shift (Oct 10) is made one day after my unit (Oct 9). Looks like it is a screen lottery game with the Pixel 2 XL...

You should send these to Google and ask them which one is normal, the spin they gave last week isn't gonna cut it

I cancelled my pre-order panda after seeing 3 units in person with horrible blue shift and then a few days ago I go into a verizon store and that display model didn't have it! So I re-ordered a just black version since the panda is always out of stock. Hopefully I get a good one but if not you wanna sell me your good one?? Lol
RMA for blue shift?

Will they send a replacement if there's a blue shift? I have zero burn-in but can really see the blue shift at slight tilting angles.
I thought they said the blue screen at different angles is normal

When they increased the warranty I figured this would be what I do and placed a new order (I had cancelled my previous one). I'm willing now to gamble that I get a good one. If it's like the image's non-blue one, I'm good. If not it goes back right away and I'll get another one, if that one is NG then I'm done until I read that they've fixed it.
Mine also has Oct 10 manufacturing date and looks just like the one you borrowed. I didn't realize there are Pixel 2 XL without the blue tint until I saw your photos.
I'm seriously considering to RMA mine since I know that not all 2XL have the blue tint.
How do I start the RMA with Google? Is there a web site I can do it or do I need to call them?
I've added a lot of overhead, and 45-degree pics of the 2 Xl with my 6P, HERE for comparison here to give those worried about the blue tint issue some additional perspective.

'Contact us' button on the upper right side of the screen and either call them or open chat session and tell them you'd like to RMA the device.
Ahhhh now wonder people are diagreeing! Thanks for this!

There is no perspective, some have it some don't. You can rave about how good your screen is, that doesn't mean the next person's is. Some are blue some are not. I've seen both. If your screen isn't blue, cool but don't tell someone else theirs isn't , cause you don't know. Definitely a huge QC issue
For those that have been successful with getting an RMA for the blue tint did you get a unit that doesn't have it? What do we do if we get an RMA that has the blue tint also (of which we can check as soon as we get it out of the box)? Do we RMA the RMA? How does that process even work? lol

On second thought, everything else is perfect with mine. If I RMA, I might get one without the blue tint, but with other more annoying issues such as burn-in.
RMA until everything is perfect?

I get mine tomorrow, if it is still blue, I'll wait to they get first device back and rma again. I paid 1000 and I will absolutely keep returning it until I get one not in beta form

I didn't 'tell' anyone anything other than I posted some comparison pics for additional perspective.
It's called perspective because everyone's is unique to their taste.
If you see no value in comparison pics, don't use them. Others appreciate the additional perspective :good:

How were you able to convince them to RMA you for the blue shift? I'm instant messaging google support now and he keeps insisting it is working as intended.

No , it's good you posted pics so people can see what a good screen is supposed to look like. Mine is so bogus even colors beside white shift on angles. Horrible. But I know good screens are out there. Still we both have a different screen, my perspective means nothing to someone with a good screen. I just keep seeing people post that the blue screen isn't a issue. And if course it's not if you don't have one. Not meant to be personal

Tell them and quote google said "blue shift only visible at sharp angles" and tell them your display is blue at shallow angles almost straight on. BIG DIFFERENCE.
I was unable to rma my phone for the blue display - the cs rep told me it was functioning as intended. I told him I was going to return it so he emailed me the label and I packed it up and ordered another unit. It shipped right away, maybe 1 or 2 days. He asked for a pic which I didn't have and didn't feel like taking since it was late and I had a very early day coming up. i don't think it would have mattered.
