Do Google offer free postage on phone case returns?

Yes, I've just returned the clear case that I ordered with the phone. It was far too hard and rigid, and I'm really not a fan of the whole camera bump being exposed, so I didn't even take it out the box.
The only painful bit was finding a 'local' DHS express drop off point.

Bit pricey atm but this is reallllllllly nice! Got a temp £9 clear one from Amazon to last me til I decide on a proper one Tbf it isn't bad!! Really good fit and the buttons contact well and nice and clicky, can't complain.

Damn I wish I'd seen this before buying a case and a mag safe sticker which was basically the same price as this :/

This is magsafe I believe

Yeah, that's why I wish I'd went for it instead of what I did. Need mag safe, or similar for the car.

Ah my mistake. Mistook what you said. I assume magsafe stickers aren't as powerful as fully magsafe?

I'm on 3 at the moment and Voice Over Wi-Fi works. Does anyone have any experience any other networks that have VoWiFi enabled for the 8 pro?

I got an ESR one and it's fine. I'd just prefer a case where I can't see it. I may pick up this Mous case in a while.

Yosh mount is one for the car. Use any case you want, just slip the thin metal plate in the case. It's thinner than the usual ones.

And even with thicker cases the phone does not budge.

I know Smarty uses Three. But it works as well. Perfect for in work where we have terrible reception.

Not a fan of having it in the case of a new phone. Got a wireless magsafe one though which does the job well. The metal plate in the inside of the case can play havoc with wireless chargingtoo.

I imagine it's the OIS.

I was walking and talking on my phone today and all I could hear was click click rattle rattle when trying to listen and talk.

This seriously can't be corrected!

But a phone without OIS.

Oooooh. The official Google gel case is a beauty. Love the way it leaves the visor unmolested by coverings. Curve on the ledge is genius, feels so good. Keeper.

I've read these feel really sticky and have caused issues for some people.

What is your opinion?

I'm with EE and WiFi calling is working great on my P8 Pro
As soon as you enter my house you lose connection to EE, Vodafone and O2 (not tried 3) so wifi calling is a must. It's weird cos they all get 4G just outside. Vodafone and EE even get 5G 100ft away. But inside... Nothing!!

First impressions are it feels lovely. It's brand new mind you so could change. I love that it's a proper matte finish rather than the satin on the Spigen I had.

Spigen got a little greasy over the day and needs a wipe down dally, not easily done either. I like the front hasn't got a cour out the the earpiece speaker. Just looks better.

Be prepared for it to be a pain in and out of the pocket and for it to collect an ungodly amount of lint in the process

 

[kona786]

Oh god I hope not. Can't stand lint.
