Google Pixel 6/6 Pro

What screen protectors are people going for the Pro - Tempered Glass or Film?

I remember tempered glass was a nightmare on my Mate 20 Pro with curved edges. After a lot of experimentation I ended up going with film, and will probably do the same again - tempered glass on a phone with curved edges is a PITA.

Naked for me. I would rather gather a few light scuffs than wreck a crafted glass screen with cheap plastic.

You don't walk around with a condom on !

Cover it if exercising only for me

Just bought the pixel 6 128gb in black. I bought 1 months of "Google one" for £8 to get £60 credit back

What screen protectors are recommended?

For those who like Taskmaster Google joins forces with Channel 4’s Taskmaster in new cross platform partnership | Channel 4

I think we'll see some cool stuff with the P6

I also prefer to have no case or screen protector. I tried both together once and the phone just felt worse in my hand, didn't feel as good using it. For me the risk of having to pay for a screen replacement is not sufficient enough to cover it up in a case but for others who drop their phone constantly it sure is a good investment.

I tried a wet applied film on my pixel 3 and it was amazing, felt quite natural to use and kept in good nick for the few years I've had it on!

Going to see if i can find one for the pro on it's way. That caseology looks nice, got a link?

I'm tempted to try hunt for this:

A case that makes the phone MagSafe compatible feels so wrong

I pretty much always buy a Spigen rugged armour case, though I've been using a moment case for my pixel 3 for the last couple of years, mainly due to it having a wooden inlay which was a little different. Don't think the new moment cases have that option. So Spigen I think.

I already have the 100gb google one plan, and paid annually. Can't see a way to upgrade to the 2tb for the 10% credit :-(

When I click upgrade, it says from Jan 2022 which is my renewal date

grudas · 21 Oct 2021 at 19:22

I do probably want to get a case but I ran my pixel 5 naked as a test.. no cracks yet but it has a mark on the metal frame, a small bit of paint missing on the camera surround and a few very small hairline scratches on the screen. Not great and I've dropped it a million times. 6 looks more fragile with the glass back. I really don't like cases and 6 in coral colour is just great to look at. Not sure what I'll do.

Works with my s21 ultra too. Assumed it was the phone but maybe the magnetic aspect is from my nudient case...

Same.. I've never used a screen protector. For a long time I never used cases either.

Speaking from experience those sort of screen protectors are the best for curved screens.

I know how you feel. I ran my pixel 5 naked for most of the time I've had it. I haven't had many issues. But also what insurance is for! That said I'll have to see what it's like in the hand before I make a decision.

Anybody who cancelled with CPW still not received an email? I feel like I'd better call tomorrow as dispatch must be soon.

They took my money tonight despite me ringing up twice and both times they said it was cancelled.

Makes me laugh how people buy a really nice coloured phone then put a god damn ugly case on it.

When I used to work for CPW I'd see online orders get cancelled and then the refund sit on the customers account until it was manually processed back to the card.

I’ve not received a cancellation email. Called them twice and they’ve said it’s cancelled and I should receive an email within 24 hours. Clearly not!! Will just return it to a shop if it does turn up, as I can see they’ve still got a hold on the money on my account.
