Found this earlier today, and pre-ordered...
I've tried lots of cases, but finally settled on Diztronic for my Galaxy Nexus, S5, Note3, ... This one looks great, and if it's anything like the quality of the others I've had, I'll save lots of time just going for it now instead of looking at others...
Already ordered mine. I've tried several other companies but I always go back to Diztronic.
Ordered mine last night, use coupon code 'repeatbuyer' for 10% off ($1.00).
tempered glass
anyone have experience with past iterations of this case using a tempered glass screen protector? i also preordered the diztronic along with a cheapo hong kong tempered glass screen protector found on ebay. cheers
Well guys, I have some unfortunate news. We are going to have to push back the release a few days. The first batch arrived from the factory an hour ago and there is a manufacturing problem. The camera hole has some extra plastic around the inside edge. On a black phone you may not notice it, but on a white phone you definitely would, and likely on a blue phone as well. I'm having the factory remake them now. We will likely still hit our original Amazon release date of Nov 14th, but I've pushed back the advertised date to be Nov 18th just to be safe. The website release date of Nov 12th is now impossible. Nov 13th will be the absolute earliest, but I'm going to advertise the 18th there as well just to be safe.
We've never missed our advertised release dates. We usually beat them by a few days even. First time for everything. Some of our competitors would likely sell these cases as is, but I know you guys demand the best from Diztronic and I want to send you a quality product. I think the silver lining here is, pretty much no one has this phone in hand yet, right?

Should work if it's 0.3mm or smaller, but we haven't tested it either. Generally speaking, under 0.3mm glass screen protectors typically work with all of our cases.

Thanks for the update. Have used your cases on my Note 2, 3 and my wife's iPhone 5 and 6 Plus. Will definitely put in an order for my Nexus 6.
On a related note, is there a reason why you didn't produce a case for the Note 4? Been waiting to buy one.

We are releasing a Note 4 case. We haven't done so yet as there was some concern about microphone placement, it's not consistent between the china model, unlocked international model, at&t, Verizon, etc. We wanted to be certain our case would at a minimum work with every US carrier, and ideally work with everything. The design we went with is going to work with all variants, and will be coming before black Friday. I know some customers have emailed in upset saying that we are "ignoring" the Note 4, but I assure you that is not the case (no pun intended, haha). The Note 4 is a major phone, and if we could of released it sooner and been confident it would work for all variants we definitely would of.
Here is our Ultra Case for the Nexus 6, also due before black friday.

Can you post any "real" product pictures of either version for the N6? I'd like to see the actual finished item instead of a render if you would be willing to post one.
are they going to offer other colors like with the Oneplus?
I will buy a red or blue for sure
I wish you offered other colors, but I will still buy the black since I will need a case to protect my baby on day 1.

This actually has my interest since it offers a little more protection and it doesn't look like it adds too much bulk. No window for the Nexus logo like the 5? I also would be interested in the finished item photo also if you have it available.
I would also be interested in inquiring if there are plans for others colors down the road. I got the red case for my OnePlus One and I enjoyed the color.

Waste of time for him. No biggie. I went ahead and ordered a spigen for around the same price he's charging. And I get a higher quality product. ?

Probably once it's closer to being shipped he'll have better photos. In any case I have a Spigen on the way also since I like my current one. I was just interested in comparing since I haven't had a Ditztronic before.

Hi,
I just got a gel case and set of 3 screen protectors off of Ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/17068638073...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_4357wt_1037
http://www.ebay.com/itm/18072112098...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_4900wt_1037
I'm not associated with the seller, but thought that if anyone was interested:
- The gel case (I got the white one) fits pretty well. Snug, and all the holes in the right places (the power and volume+/- buttons are covered, but slightly raised).
- The protectors were actually not bad. I always hate putting these things on (bubbles, dust), but these were pretty heavy gauge plastic or whatever, so not bad for 3-4 USD (incl shipping).
- Shipping to East Coast U.S. took about 2 weeks (seller shipped next day, but then...).
Just an FYI.
My daughter, who also has an SGP5, bought locally, and paid almost $50 for case and protector (with "lifetime warranty"). She's still telling me she likes hers better, but for less than $10, I like mine ...
Jim
I bought from this seller too !
quality of case & Film is great
but have a little problem about I order black one but sent me red one.
& I e-mail to seller to tell about this problem
he so kind. I deal with him with refund 10% from price. it's not much but I like his responsibility.

Hi,
I'm the OP. The one (white) that I got does have cutouts for the speakers (both the speaker below the rear camera and the other one near the "bottom" of the SGP5).

I bought this gel case and these styluses,
http://www.ebay.com/itm/180721123550?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
http://www.ebay.com/itm/180658846208?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
This case has two additional cut out area, one for the upper left corner and one to the left of the usb port on the bottom. All cutouts work and the buttons are covered, but the area is raised so its easy to access them.
I originally bought a $10 dollar stylus and these ones are much cheaper. They aren't made of a metal body but they do the job if anyone needs styluses for their device.

White New Soft TPU Gel Case Cover Skin
Thanks to those who recommended this skin cover for the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 from seller "thomaszoe1314" on ebay.
White New Soft TPU Gel Case Cover Skin For Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 G70 YP-G70 (180721120989)
I paid $4.88 with free shipping from HongKong! I ordered the white one on 12/15 and was delivered just two weeks later by USPS even with the holiday rush.
It fits perfectly snug and was just right in terms of tightness for installation without forcing too hard. It has solved the problem with the SGP5.0 being hard to hold onto and also when setting it down on a hard surface without a thud.
The skin is attractive and has a couple of unnecessary holes for other versions but they dont do any harm.
Along each edge where where you pick it up, there are nice treads to improve the grip even further.
When sliding SGP5.0 into my shirt pocket the plastic doesn't "stick" to the fabric and make it hard to get into my pocket.
The plastic doesn't stink like some cheap toy plastics and the molding details are all refined and top quality.
The buttons (power and volume) are fully functional beneath the plastic.
Very pleased, and thanks again to the previous posters here that alerted me to this bargain!

Hi,
Actually, I hadn't noticed that, but when I put the 2nd one on another SGP5, there is a piece that covers the home button area that can be popped out (which I actually did). Sorry about not mentioning that in the original post.
Jim
P.S. My SGP5s are all US versions.
Just wanna share this.

Here its the demo video for the Galaxy S4 case. this is almost the same, but with slim waist
Review from the regular Powerfull Case. this is the same but with a curvey slim waist shape. all the protection are the same:
And here is the official web:
http://www.lovemeicase.com/pro.asp?id=45
Looks nice but I wonder if it will fit the wireless charge back that I have. I also notice it needs two screws so for those who change batteries often, you'll have to carry the screwdriver. Otherwise, it looks awesome. Thanks for the link!
Are you sure that this case is as resistant as the one on the video? Because I'm thinking about getting one, and I like this one more than the one on the video, but if you can't throw it on the floor and "drive a car over it", what's the point of it?. It looks great but it's really big and Note 3 is already big. So if you don't get perfect protection than there's no point of getting one..
thx for the link
if it's from ali it's probably a fake.

Hi, yes, its the same technology, but with another shape. here its the video of the small waist, but for the iPhone 5:
do, im not sure if it can resist a car, or the motorcycle like on this video, but its a rugged case and it will protect your $700 bucks inversion.
hope it doesn't hurt reception and gps like the original love mei case does. I bought the regular one and while it's badass and crazy protection, I can't use it due to reception getting knocked down.

I thought about getting one for the summer... because i think it's to massive to carry it all the time. Please write a small review ( just if all of the signals work, and are you ok with the case) if you order it.

I am using it right now to type this. I have been using the regular model for about two months now and the gps is the only issue I have. I just got the slim waist model from a friend today. She said that it killed her signal at her house, but she lives in the woods and only gets 2 bars at best. I live in town and I'm fluctuating between 3-4 bars all the time. I have not tried the GPS since I put the new case on. I'll upload a few pictures in just a second for those interested. I like the case a lot.
I am a police officer and I keep it in the front pocket of my outer vest. It gets rained on regularly and I just wipe the water off the screen and keep going. The silicone on the back makes it grip your dash perfect without sticking in your pocket.
I got my first off Amazon and the case I'm using now came from eBay. Both were shipped from China and it took about two weeks. Both came in nice packaging and the quality of the cases is great. I'll answer any questions you can come up with. I just discovered the thread.

i read that this case has issues with people hearing you as the mic is obsructed. what complaints have you had abnout this? im sure you call supervisors and dispatch a lot?
Love Mei Note 3 Case
Well I can say for sure that this case is a TANK as far as protection goes. Now, I did contact someone from the company to make sure that the problems with the previous version of the case was fixed and he said yes. So I bought one, Black on Black.The new waist design is cool, but some of the reported problems STILL exist. NO 4G LTE inside a building or residence. I had to remove the mesh behind the ear speaker in order to hear anyone. The bottom speakers work very well. The screen most definitely is not SMUDGE or FINGER PRINT proof. I know that no screen actually is, but this screen is freak-en bad. So DO NOT GET ONE IF ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS BOTHER YOU. Especially you OCD clean screen freaks. The aluminum is just as bad with finger prints, sorry. The rubber on the back and sides is a DUST MAGNET. The phone is very heavy, but with all that said, I am very happy with buying it. I bought it through EBAY for $30.00, and it did ship very quickly from China. I wanted a heavy duty case to protect my $700.00 investment and I found it. I am a law enforcement officer and a gym rat, so this case will go through hell and back. The issues I mentioned do not bother me, but may bother some, so I hope I answered all questions.
Respectfully,
Rick Davila :fingers-crossed:
Be nice to see some pictures or a video of the new slim waist version please, nothing to be found as of yet anywhere online, aside from the official website.....
anyone who wants a yellow one, I'll sell ya mine for what I paid for it ($30). I'll pay the postage.
it is a tank and will protect like no other, but can't stand how heavy it makes it and the gps reception and cell signal is unacceptable.
I ended up buying a Kraken case for the days I need real protection and on the normal days I run the Aegis.

I Think that is just for Docomo line. The volume button is different from our model.
Hey all I actually emailed them about 2 days ago asking about shipping to Australia, they are fine with international shipping. From what they sent all they require is a name, what you want and pay via PayPal. I'll be making my order soon, cost of shipping is $12USD to aus, if that sheds some light on shipping expense, by way of EMS.
Also I believe there is no difference with model apart from badging, a fellow who has it in the other thread has a international z2 and is located in Taiwan.
Wow those are gorgeous cases, indeed .
wow,.... that's a really nice case,.... i don't know about paying 72 bucks and plus the $12 for shipping,...

I completely agree with you ☺. But regardless, that is one beautiful case. I am looking for a bumper for this phone but I can't afford to pay Thai much for a case. Lol.
I really wish someone would make these aluminum bumpers in carbon fibre or something other than signal blocking metal. I have a couple for my ultra z and notice I lose about 1-1.5 bars of signal which means I have no signal many places. Also seems like I get about an hour less battery (probably because of the signal issue. They look really nice though!
Alright, so I need to share my experience regarding this bumper.
It initially came to my attention when searching for bumpers/cases etc, but at first I figured it was beyond what I was willing to pay for it. I did not want a full case or TPU skin etc, as I wanted as much of my phone 'naked' as possible, while getting some minor protection from everyday bumps, dragging across tables and various Jeep related bounces. A bumper was what I wanted.
I tried a cheap one from ebay. It came within 2-3 weeks, and was what you expected. Cheap, and I felt almost decorative. A drop would knock it off, as it uses a clasp s screws. It was also very thin, so it flexed while on the phone around the port openings. I couldn't complain, as I got what I paid for.
That brings me back to this bumper. I had already decided on the Amber Orange one long ago when I dreamt of it, so I simply sent out a semi-serious email via their site with some basic inquiries to pricing, shipping, stock, etc.
-AUG 30 - Initial contact via site form, I got a response within hours via email.
-AUG 31 - I was sold, and had them invoice me, and paid it shortly after receiving it via PayPal.
-SEP 1 - I received an email stating it was shipped, provided the tracking number, and they included photos of the package, the item, the shipping label, and the invoice.
-SEP 2 - I see it has left Japan and was enroute to Canada.
-SEP 3 - Just after midnight, it clears customs, goes through Toronto, Mississauga, then heads to my town which is about an hour/hour and a half away. I missed delivery today at 11am, as I was at work...
It was packaged in an airmail envelope, which contained a brown cardboard box, which contained a store quality box container, which contained a small material bag, which contained my unit.
I was amazed how fast this whole communication to unit in hand took. Each step of the way, communication was fast and efficient, and more than adequate.
The unit itself went on like a glove. There are no gaps, no flex, and no misalignment. Even the port cutouts have a bit of fingernail space to leverage into. It looks good, feels good, sturdy, and provides a bit of a lip for me to hold late at night while tired and wandering aimlessly. No noticeable signal loss, however I am in a great area to begin with, so this has never been an issue for me.
I am extremely pleased with this purchase and product.
Cheers all.

Check out Devilcase USA. They have a case for the Z2. Looks like Amazon is the only retailer right now.

As soon as I get access to a camera other than the one currently inside the bumper case, will do and post.

I have no experience with this other case, so I can not provide you with any honest input on it.
Any luck getting another camera? Interested in seeing some real world photos of it.

Hi all!
I have ordered this case a few weeks ago.
It went almost a same as been posted before. They were very friendly and really fast. It took about 30 minutes until they've dispatched the case.
I had a nillkin tempered glass at the front and the back. However if you gonna order this case you will see the way how they made this case the room at the back is smaller about 1-1 mm. So if you want a glass protector at the back you need to order one from them.
This is the only complication what I had, the case is perfect fit. I think it's totally worth the price.
I have attached a few pictures.
Thanks for the photos! Did you worry about scratching the phone at all? Their site says it's a possibility due to manufacturing constraints.
Scratch
Before this bumper, I have tried a cheap lovemei one, which indeed managed to scratch the phone.
I was very upset at first but what can you expect from a £4 case?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LOVE-MEI-...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item3ce334f6ef
The Alumania is a bit pricey yes, but I just checked the phone, no new scratches so far.
I think the main difference between the two bumper is that the lovemei loose on the phone so it can move while the alumania is tight. It's important because the quality of the lovemei is cheap so it's constantly rubbing the phone that means scratching. Cheap metal bumpers are bad idea, if you care about the scratches.
Cheers
Great, thanks!
Might order me one on payday.

I have asked them the same question. But I think this is better than copy their answer here.
As the title says. I just picked up my new GS7 last week. And while I have always liked the looks of my phones in the past, I gotta admit, I always thought the iPhones looked better. Dating back to my first smartphone, the Blackberry Storm (if any of you remember that mess), I had always thought the iPhone was the better looking of the smartphones. When my upgrade was up from the Storm, VZW was HEAVILY advertising this new phone called the Droid. I almost got the Storm 2 because at the time, I didn't think the Storm was a bad phone, but on a whim bought the Droid I saw during every commercial break. It opened my eyes to how great Android was, and how garbage BB touchscreens were. I've always used Androids since. I've had a few iPhones here and there, but I just HEAVILY preferred the Android experience over iOS and got rid of my iPhones within a week or 2 of originally acquiring them. But now, finally, I can say that my Gold Platinum colored Galaxy S7 even looks way sexier than any iPhone. I seriously love the way this phone looks. I also always carry my phone in my pocket. I've tried belt-clips, but I always would get them caught on counters and stuff, typically resulting in breaking the clip and often damaging my phone. That in mind. I'm looking at outfiiting my phone with a slim profile case, not only for pocket comfort, but also to keep as much of the original look of the phone as possible. So I'm looking at gold and clear cases primarily. I also don't want a lot of grip, as before, I've had times that I had a VERY grippy case that when I thought I slid my phone in my pocket, it actually gripped to the edges of the pocket and fell when I wasn't paying much attention. Sorry for the novel background. But on to the meat and potatoes of the post:
I'm looking at getting a tempered glass screen protector and case. As far as the screen protector, I'm 90% certain that I've decided on the Coral Tempered Glass with the matching Gold top and bottom. I've always used ZAGG before and have no complaints with them. But their Contour Glass model isn't out yet and want to get something ASAP. If anybody has any experience with the Coral, please chile in and let me know how it was. Or if anybody else has a tempered glass screen protector they really love that may sway me, also, please chime in and let me know of your experience.
Now. On to the cases. I found a couple I liked just on Amazon, and then read that some users found some they really liked on ebay, so checked there and found a few more I'm very interested in. The beauty with the eBay ones is they're dirt cheap. But the down side is, I don't know how well they will fit and/or protect my phone. And coming from typically China'Hong Kong, it'll take a while to receive them. So I've narrowed it down to 5 that I really like (I honestly could easily make it 10, but that's too ridiculous)....
So. Number 5:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/28179505052...49&var=580958289146&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
-at $7.99 it's incredibly cheap. It's a very good looking case. Although the pics don't show the S7 version. All the other versions look VERY well made. Even have a stock-looking logo of the phone on them. Even the other color schemes look tempting like the black/gold or white/gold. In all, it looks very refined for an eBay case of this price range. I don't think I'd rate it as 5th place on my considerations really. I really like them all. This one is an especially clean looking case though.
Number 4:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B1V3QJ8/ref=twister_B01F341F92?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
-at $29.95, it's probably the most expensive on my list. But I've heard great things about UAG. It looks rugged. But that also detracts from the natural look of the phone I want to show off, even in the ICE (clear) color.. So it's a bit of a double-edged sword to me.
Number 3:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/20152550018...49&var=500749182756&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
-at $15.19, this falls about right in the middle of the price range. Though it does cover the entire back of the phone, it still looks pretty close to the regular back of the phone while providing low profile protection.
Number 2:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/27216969983...49&var=570981080744&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
-at $10.98, it's still very cheap. It's 2-piece metal screw-together with a clear back. So it's very low-profile, has a gold protective bumper with a simple clear backing to show the phone and not the case. So I really like the idea of this case
Number 1:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/38154689041...49&var=650654760726&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
-at $14.99 it also comes right in the middle of the price range. And while it also covers the entire back of the phone, it looks like it's the matching color. And I like that it's a brushed metal which won't get messed up by being kept in my pocket. And it still provides protection while keeping a low profile. Plus, it's a brand I've heard good things about, so I'm not worried at all about any fit or performance.
so anybody with any experience with these, please let me know how you liked them. Or anybody else that has any opinions on the cases, let me know what you think of them. I REALLY like em all and my OCD is making it very hard for me to choose just one. Thanks for reading, and thanks ahead of time for your replies

thanks for the link but I've already read that whole thing. That's actually the direct reasoning behind my considering the UAG that didn't fit my criteria nearly as well as the other 4 I'm looking at
I recommend you to buy wooden cases for your GS7. Its look contemporary, stylish and would provide the best protection to your Smartphone.

if you read my post. A wooden case is essentially the exact opposite of what I'm looking for. I do like how the reclaimed wood cases look, but I want my phone to look as stock as possible. A wooden case would make it look COMPLETELY different
think I found my winner:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Samsung...acb1220&pid=100033&rk=4&rkt=4&sd=301905544453
low profile clear case to show off the phone perfectly while providing protection without any added bulk AND a matching gold platinum 3D edge-to-edge tempered glass screen protector. And since they come as a packqge, I don't need to worry about fitment issues. For only $14.99 shipped from CA, so I won't have to wait a month to receive it. And I've only heard good things about Nillkin brand cases, it's not even a no-brand as I was expecting to get. At $14.99, that's what I was expecting to pay for the case alone, and another $20-20 for the tempered glass screen protector. So not only did I fit all the criteria I had, it's a name-brand case, AND includes a tempered glass screen protector that I was most definitely going to add, I don't need to worry about the 2 fitting together, and it only comes from CA so I'll get it quick. I plan to read some seller reviews and wait about an hour and then pull the trigger and order it
ETA: after looking at the seller's feedback...
A) they have an obscene amount of positive feedback in general at over 200K. And only sell phone accessories. That's unbelievable
B) the feedback I was able to find for this specific package was all positive
so i'm VERY confident in the seller. And quite confident in the actual product based on the specific reviews too. I look forward to receving this product much more now
I think that best combination for Galaxy S7 is Ringke Slim case with icroo fullscreen protection. which I have, and it looks awesome!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dNkMydF-pM
As an update. Since I made this thread, I contacted ARTech 21, and they're sending me some cases to review as well. I particularly like the Vivid and Jelly models:
the jelly really fits what I was looking for in this thread. A low profile case that shows off the phone, not the case, while still giving good protection. And the vivid is just a really cool looking totally different style case. I'm really excited to play with em and will have reviews of all of them, including how the screen protector fits with all the different cases, which I'm very curious about
I got #1 and didn't like it at all. Sent back to Amazon. Mic and noise canceling mic holes off and it doesn't have a good grip...
new to S7 as well, day #3 today
I bought Lifeproof Fre case with my S7 http://www.lifeproof.com/en-us/galaxy-s7/fre-for-galaxy-s7/lpfr-sam-gs7.html as i couldn't be bothered with separate shopping research for a screen protector and then a case
Liking it so far
Don't buy number 2. It's too tight on the phone and you can't use the power or volume buttons.

Phone skins are really great to add style to any phone, plus they’re not expensive, but they provide minimal protection if you happen to drop your phone. On the other end of the spectrum are cases, which are generally more expensive but offer much more protection. Cases are bulky and they don’t let the beauty of your phone show through because they often have to cover all four edges as well as the back of the phone.
[CENTER][IMG]https://img.xda-cdn.com/_5bazhtzBVuyQ2jX6NcB-M-kLVk=/http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FrcYrbKD.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER]
That’s where [URL="https://rhinoshield.io/pages/crashguard"]CrashGuard by RhinoShield[/URL] comes in. CrashGuard is essentially a bumper case, which means that it does not cover the back of your phone but only the sides (thus giving your device a more “naked” feel), but because of how it’s engineered, it provides more protection than most cases. CrashGuard is far superior to the bumpers of the past because it has been engineered to absorb impact. This is done by utilizing a proprietary polymer material that is far more shock-absorbent than plastic, and it also has a protective honeycomb structure within the bumper to disperse impact properly. In fact, within the honeycombs are compartments of pressurized air that act as airbags and deflect impact energy. If that sounds really elaborate, it is, and the net result is that you can drop your phone from a variety of heights (up to 11 feet) and if you have a CrashGuard bumper on the phone, you’re going to have a completely unmarked phone. If you want to see how incredible this protection is, watch this video from David Pogue where he does everything in his power to smash his phone by dropping it from a tall ladder.

Not only are CrashGuard bumpers durable, but they’re lightweight (with most of their bumpers coming in under 14 grams). They’re also pretty grippy thanks to the matte finish, and they come in a variety of colors. Another thing we really like about the CrashGuard line is the pricing: the Pixel bumper is priced at $24.00, and you can pre-order a CrashGuard for the Pixel/Pixel XL.
Use discount code "XDAFTW" for 15% off until November 10, 2016. Check out the RhinoShield store here.
Thanks to RhinoShield for sponsoring this post and contest.
They also have $5 discount if you never purchased from their website, which is a bit better. Problem is, they only have free shipping on orders over $30 and on their website they have it listed and shipping out "early November". On Amazon, it's shipping out Monday and it has prime. So unless you plan on buying something else from Rhinoshield to qualify for free shipping, it's about the same price on Amazon and you'll get it sooner.

I ordered the bumper for $25 and that came with $5 off on the screen protector, so +20 is $45 USD so I qualified for free shipping, as well as the 15% off, so after tax (12% where I am) I paid a little over $50 CAD which was in my budget. And literally, if the thing is even a third as strong and stable as the advertised impact demonstration in their videos, I am satisfied in my use I will be perfectly safe with this product.
I also expect delivery in less than 5 days based on the tracking/shipping notice.
And I will be sure to post a review next time I get the chance to drop my phone :silly:

Looks like 3 1/8 inches wide on my measuring tape.
I'm not impressed so far. Buttons are really hard to press and stock charger cord doesn't fit.
I like how it looks though, here it is with the Hemp skin from Slickwraps

I prefer a bumper because it doesn't cover the back of the phone. A clear silicone case always gets scratched up. A bumper also doesn't really change the thickness of the phone except around the edges.

The silicon on the bottom has stretched enough that I can fit the stock cord but I still have to jam it in there. The buttons could be difficult to press because of the skin, but I doubt it.

The edges are what drive the width which is what defines how easy it is to hold one handed

wow that's really wide... is that on the pixel or the pixel xl?
I cannot use it it it really is that wide. My pleson slim tpu case is only 2 7/8 wide on my Pixel and i dropped it from top coat pocket height on concrete twice already...not sure how because is don't usually make a habit of dropping my phones but it does not have a mark on it!
Just got my bumper from Amazon and i'm loving it. Stock charging cord fits with no problem and all the buttons feel great except for the power button, but that will be fine once I break it in for a few days. Combined with their screen protector everything looks perfect.
Just ordered mine, thanks for the code!
Installed mine yesterday. Now i don't feel worried when I handle my phone... Good.

That's kinda unacceptable with this being as expensive as it is! Jeez

On yours*
I'm not the only one who had a problem, if you look at the XL thread too.
Pixel from UK Google store.
FOR ME:
Cons:
Stock cord does not fit
Only accepts slim headphone jacks
Buttons hard to press
White bumper on white phone to me looks rubbish
Pros:
Phone is more grippy and feel less likely to slip out of my hand
Not too much bigger (this is the smaller Pixel remember)
That said I'm going to remove some of the material around the USB-C and headphone ports and keep it.
