Why not the same one?
Google Pixel 8/8 Pro & Pixel Watch 2

Yes, I could do that but just fancied a change as it almost makes it feel like a new phone.
What do you mean by tatty, dirty or damaged?
Most of these type of cases look the same to me and seeing as you have one of the better ones, can you not just clean/wash it.

Trade in pack arrived today. Old phone ready to go. Hopefully Currys don't balls up my part exchange price.

I'd write a note in there saying you've ordered the Pixel 8 Pro and just drop in the order number too.

Not a bad idea, cheers

It's just a wee bit worn/used looking.
given the offers floating around would this be a worthy replacement to the 1st gen xperia 1? Phone still works fine (well bar the fingerprint sensor which was a bit junk on this) but kind of liking the idea of a device with better update support.
nothing major feature wise its a solid bit of hardware, just no security updates since Oct '21, Android 11, and battery is starting to get on the meh side of useful (wasn't its strong point to begin with). Wifi calling/VoLTE also bricked when I moved away from O2 even though it shouldn't have.
Lets be honest, I've had it since launch and these are excuses for a new(er) shiny that isn't completely obscenely priced.

Are you looking at P8 or P8 Pro? What price you getting?

In case anyone is looking for the 8a. Hot deal via student beans.
Are the Spigen cases the best choice? I got a 8a from the post @mithrandir made.
There's so many though. I see Tough Armor, Rugged Armor, Ultra Hybrid and Liquid Air.

I prefer Google's official cases as they preserve the rear camera bar.

I’m getting the following Spigen Liquid Air from my recent purchase as per EE deal
Spigen Liquid Air Case Compatible with Google Pixel 8a - Matte Black https://amzn.eu/d/0g8enR69
For me it's between the Tough Armor and Liquid Air. The Tough Armor has a little cool inbuilt stand.

I like Spiggen cases, and have had a few on previous phones. I had the Tough Armor on an old Galaxy phone and it was good, but also kind of bulky. As the P8Pro is already a big, heavy phone I went for the Rugged Armor this time, which is a bit slimmer and lighter. It seems up to their usual quality, feels pretty nice to hold and looks good to IMO.
Tough Armor looks good as well, though, if you don't mind the slight extra heft. As the 8a is a fair bit smaller than the Pro it might not even be an issue, tbf.

Just received my £285 back from Currys
So my 8 pro cost me £364, pleased with that
