Doesn't bother me one bit not having a front cover. The only thing worrying me is that it doesn't hide / protect the side camera visor bit as much as the Spigen ones. But I'll prolly take the plunge once I have decided the P7P is a keeperYes, I didn't like it at first but when i tried out Spigen Rugged Armour and Caseology Athlex I found the Bellroy to actually be far superior in terms of fit, feel, look and expected durability.
Some photos of the cases lined up. Rugged Armour is the flimsiest. Athlex is thick. Bellroy is classy.
The drawback on the Bellroy for me is likely not something that will bother others - it doesn't have a front cover (folio style).

I would say more about quality control this time around than actual build quality but still, it's not good enough. I've noticed another small mark on the top of the phone. Return processed and sending it back tomorrow. Not even going to attempt a replacement.

Anyone with a Pixel 7 and uses a Freestyle Libre 2 blood glucose monitor? Is it working with Librelink and scanning ok?

You are assigning build quality to a scuff on the back?
Edit - I see you've corrected it to quality control.
Oh behave... The build quality is absolutely fine on the 6 I have and, I imagine, the 7 as well given its pretty much the same physical phone.
If you're the kinda guy that compares e-peens with others and get upset about having 1 less FPS than someone else on a phone then I want your problems

Sending my Pixel 7 back for a refund. Great looking phone and seems nicely built, but I've found it too heavy & thick - specs show it only being 12g heavier and 0.5mm thicker than my current phone, but somehow it feels like a brick in comparison.
My search for a suitable replacement continues!

Ah, I didn't know this was only for Curry's. I'd have ordered from Google if the Klarna stuff hadn't taken the ****.
Alas, does anyone have any suggestions for some wireless car charging mounts? In the past I've used a magnetic one on my iPhone which was great and planned to use the same on my pixel. But before I order a new magnetic plate I wondered if a wireless charging mount might be a good way to go
What I can say is I'm enjoying the phone so far; taking a bit of getting used to having been on iOS for 12 years but the swipe features that weren't a thing last time I tried Android is very familiar and making a big difference.
Another question!!! When I swipe up from the home screen it brings up a whole list of all of my apps. I changed a setting when prompted by accident and now my keyboard pops up. It is Hella frustrating cause if I try to scroll down from anywhere in the bottom half of the screen I accidentally start swipe typing and I lose the list of apps until I swipe back to home, then swipe up again. I've looked through settings but I dont know what I'm actually looking for in order to change the setting.

I probably would have gone for the same one if I had the Pro. As I've got the basic 7 I'll probably wait for a decent tempered glass protector, if one ever comes out!
Open app drawer, press 3 dots in top search box, toggle always show keyboard (Based on my Pixel 5)
Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. Does seem pricey, but don't mind if it's worth it.This good i had on my past pixel 3 and now on pixel 5 but is lots of money.Google Pixel

Which phone do you currently have out of interest?
Proper meaty m8
OnePlus 6T, which other than an aging battery and no more OS updates is pretty much my perfect handset.
The watch really is the key to getting (and keeping) people in the ecosystem. Glad you’re enjoying it mate.
You’ll have to install a new launcher as it’s baked into stock Android.
Pfffft why would they do that.
This phones getting a tad more annoying by the hour.
Tomorrow I'll play with the camera. That's one of the reasons I wanted it after all.
Can you not press and hold to remove the widgets? Never seen a widget that can't be removed on any previous Pixel device. (P7P doesn't arrive until tomorrow)
