any suggestion?
Hi,
I am using the Mi Band with my OPX.
it works pretty nicely. stores the info with itself and let's you sync with the app whenever you want. It's been 20 days, the battery still says 53%. So, I can safely say it last for a while. Took me less than 1 hour to full charge it when i first got it.
The accuracy is pretty good. I tested it against the Fitbit Blaze from a friend. difference was of less than 20 steps with the Mi Band in the right hand and the fitbit in the left for a 2 km jog.
bought the band for 800 INR from the Mi website in february.
I use a Tune Belt that I bought for my previous phone. You can measure your phone and use a formula to figure out the correct size to buy. I bought mine specifically to fit my previous phone (HTC One M7) with an Otterbox commuter case on it. The model # is AB90, and it fits my OPX with Ringke Fusion case on it as well -- maybe just a little snug but I don't mind. There is a tiny gap of air between the phone screen and the plastic window, but the the touchscreen still works.
I'm not sure if anyone has had a chance to try yet, but is the daydream view headset fully functional if there is a case on your phone? I know the gear VR wouldn't work with a note 7 and a speck candyshell case.
But the Gear VR had to connect through the USB port to the Note, Daydream is all wireless so it should be fine. I don't have mine yet so I can't tell for sure

The phone sits in a tray/slot with a cover that closes over it. As long as your case isn't huge, it should be fine. I think the clasp that holds the cover shut is elastic to keep it tight. I have never used Samsung VR but doesn't it snap into a molded space on the front with the back of the phone exposed? I was kind of surprised Google has the entire phone covered on Daydream as it would only let you do VR instead of AR which the Samsung could do since the back camera is exposed and could be used.

The GearVR did have a clasp that wrapped around the body of the phone slightly. I went ahead and ordered the Speck Presidio case, so hopefully it isn't too big for VR. AR would be a really cool addition, but the pixel isn't equipped like the Tango devices are so I assume Google didn't want to blur the lines and make the Tango devices less desirable.
A thin case might work but the phone gets hot, so it's probably better without the case.
I'm using a spigen tough armor case, which isn't super thin and daydream VR worked great.. Though, as someone mentioned, the phone will get a bit hot and it's probably a better idea to go commando.
I've done a few sessions with the Google Live case on, no adverse affects etc. for more than 30 mins usage.
Supcase beetle works fine, and its not super thin. i max out at about 114f but its usually around 107f

IMO, Seidio makes the best holster/cases for any phone. They come with a lifetime warranty, but are a little pricey. They also come with an intergrated kickstand.
The bad news is they have NO intention of making a Pixel 2 mini case/holster Surface combo. This was confirmed when I contacted support.
The good news is that the Surface holster for the Pixel 1 mini does work pretty good with the Spigen Rugged Armor Case for Pixel 2. The fit is real close and the phone is secure and can be removed with just one hand. This is much better than the universal holsters that are more like wallets/closed-faced and are really hard to get the phone out with one hand. I tried one of these for a week (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LZ3ASSO/ to be extact, YES it says Pixel 1, but it works Pixel 2/Spigen RugArmCase) and wanted to kill myself on how it functioned. Since the surface holster is open faced you can attach the universal kickstand from Spigen, linked below.
My only reservation is that the volume down button is really close to the case, pictured. It doesn't seem to apply pressure, which is good for the long run. I could carve out a notch, but I feel good about the current fit.
Here are some photos and links:

Old thread but would you mind testing the fit of the Pixel 2 naked in that Pixel 1 Surface holster? I am trying to find a holster that will work for the Pixel 2 naked.
I tried this and it's not a good fit at all... Not even close.

Thanks for checking.. I was curious because Seidio says the Surface case adds 2mm and the Pixel 2 is about 2mm taller than the Pixel 1. I was hoping the Surface holster for the Pixel 1 would be a good fit for a naked Pixel 2.
The search continues...
I switched from Moto Z, a much larger device, to the Pixel 2, and the new Pixel 2 with a bumper case works out just fine for me using the same Bomea holster: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P80V0GU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I've always been a fan of the super slim, clear TPU cases for phones (like this one). I've had the most success with Spigen, but it doesn't appear they offer a slim, clear TPU option for the Pixel 5. The closest I could find was this: https://www.spigen.com/products/pixel-5-case-ultra-hybrid?variant=32618355163183
Any suggestions out there? Any clear cases you've liked on other devices that are available for the Pixel 5?
Also looking for a clear TPU case, but not seeing ANY cases available for the Pixel 5 beyond the overpriced Google fabric case. I've had good luck in the past with Ringke. I'm hoping to order one to have it prior to Pixel 5 delivery (Oct 30 - Nov 02)

Yeah, that's what I'm leaning toward too. You can buy them direct from Spigen right now for 20% off (coupon PXLPERFECT through October 7): https://www.spigen.com/products/pixel-5-case-ultra-hybrid
You just have to pick the "Crystal Clear" color option which looks blue to me.

Nice! That's way better than $20. Direct link for those interested: https://amzn.com/B08D676NDY
25 is way too much, paid 11€ for it with free shipping which should be here on 06.10.
Check out MNML. I have a couple of there's for my 3 XL.

Thanks man, good looking out. :good: Don't wanna cover up that gorgeous sage. Just ordered the same.
Ah that's the clear Spigen case I want for my pixel 5 but in the UK I can't find it anywhere . Any ideas for any UK people?
For clear I've always used the Otterbox Symmetry. They do run $49.99 but they are supposedly in-stock at Otterbox.com.
I use the clear Spigen for the 3XL and it seems OK: it didn't turn yellow as badly as the cheaper cases on Amazon (those turned really yellow fairly fast on my older phones). After two years, it has a tinge of yellow. The case does show a bit of wear on the back now, probably from the hand sanitizer that didn't dry off well enough when I was using my phone. I don't mind since it serves it's purpose to protect my phone.

I can't see the listing yet for Spigen. Went for the 32nd shop instead as a cheap alternative.

I've had it in my basket but it was removed. Assuming due to zero stock.

Just got the Spigen clear case delivered and it feels great in my hands. With the size of this phone I think it's going to be a hit.

liquid protection
This is the best testing I found for liquid. In sum, the impact protection was pretty dramatically increased, but scratch and fingerprint resistance increases were negligible or zero. Placebo effect on me? Anyway, I may go with what the Tuber suggested and do liquid (one applicator can be used to protect several devices per the video) and a glass screen with liquid applied to the screen protector too. I have used glass from Zagg, AmFilm and Supershieldz for the 2XL. They all break or get lint and dog hair stuck in them eventually, and then they need to be replaced. Zagg is probably the strongest, but honestly, I replaced them all after 6 months anyway. Think I will just get a cheapie and liquid glass it.
Saw an Amazon review that pointed out there is a cutout or indentation along the top edge of the screen opening for the speaker (that doesn't exist on the phone)
Now that we got Pre Orders in.
what Cases you guys getting to protect your new phone..
im leaning towards Caseology Vault or Spigen Rugged.

will get DBRAND Grip but will be a long wait
Ringke Fusion Clear. I love seeing the actual phone.
Commando, kept in a leather pouch.
Not sure yet, maybe Ringke Fusion Clear to see this badboy device!
I will go with latercase. Not loving the "cyber" style for the camera, but the feel of these cases are simply unmatched. Rocking one on my OP 8 PRO and I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
For me i got GhosTek
High recommended this case super high quality

I ordered both the Spigen Rugged Armor (as usual, love these!) and the Ultra Hybrid because it has a transparent lower back. Might keep both, might send one back.
I ordered the stormy 6 pro case from google.
Spigen thin-fit for now already have it just waiting on phone. I like the look of the black/gold caseology parallex but it isn't in stock anywhere right now. I might get a clear case eventually just hate how they get smudged up so easily.
I ordered the Caseology Vault case in black
might get this one for now, its cheap enough until more cases start to appear

Never had a case. Don´t think I will get one this time.
I went with the Caseology Vault in Sage Green. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B096T8JPP9
I'm debating what I should use my Google Store credit for purchasing the Pixel 6 Pro and Buds A on. Either one of the "official" cases, or the Pixel Stand 2 when it's available. Or both.

Google One customers who have the 2TB plan receive 10% back in store credit on Google Store purchases.
I ordered a red/black caseology parallax and a spigen tough armour to try them out. Combined they're still cheaper than an otterbox.

I always go for Spigen with new phones. No surprise I will for the pixel 6!
Yeh, Spigen is always a good choice! Cheers
