Pixel 5 + official case + pixel standcradle = sad panda - Google Pixel 5 Accessories

Looks like they had amateur hour at google when designing the case for the Pixel 5, and I'm not just talking about the choice to have a fabric case as the only option... As you can see in the picture, the pixel 5 with the official google case doesn't sit properly on the cradle, the opening at the bottom of the case either needs to be narrower (to sit on top of the bumper) or wider (to sit flush with the bumper). Alternatively they could have released an updated pixel stand. You know this had to have come up in a meeting at google where they just decided to say "F it"!

Oops, if a mod could fix the subject line to remove "cradle", that would be great.

That is really disappointing to see. I was about to buy all 3 together. Glad I came here to look. Do any other cases have an issue fitting with the stand or cause charging problems?

This explains why the pixel stand is 50% off now.

Got an awesome deal today!

So I bought the vertical leather belt case t mobile has specifically for the vibrant a few days ago and wasn't feeling it (was extra thin and poked my belly when I sat down). So today I went to return it to get the horizontal one, but they were out.
I walked around to see if I could find something similar, and boom; one of their universal holdsters fits mine, but it was a little loose, then I remembered I was gonna get the gel case, so I went ahead and got that. Tried them together and it was like magic!
Here it is without the gel skin:

Here it is with it on:
Some more pictures to show fitment and size and such.
Total was 2 (universal case was on sale) and got the gel case for 14.99 =16.99
Much better that the 24.99 for the vertical case I bought in tyre beginning.
the SKU for the case on clearance is SUPA31526.
Thats the same exact case I used to use for my G1 and I think when you ask for it I think they said it was typically used for the wing.
I might have to check this out, even tho i don't really wear the cases.
and why does your screen look like stucco?

I looked at that case, but didnt like the snaps.
The Droid X case also works very well with the phone and gel case, but you will have to go to a Verizon store to get it.

Slim Snap on case

Was searching high and low for a slim snap on case, I phoneish style. (only thing I like about the iPhone are the cases) finally found one so I thought I'd share. Good feel to it. Only downside is the buttons are a little flushed so its a harder to press, not too bad though. It comes with a clip too.

Looks nice but that item on Amazon looks completely different
This case came out soon after the first release of s2. I used this case for awhile.. but I dropped it a cople of times over tiles and back started cracking from the middle. Also one of the piece that holds the phone (There's 3, 1 at the bottom and 2 on the sides) just broke off one day.
I paid $15. I am currently looking for something again like this that I can use it to hold the phone on my belt for work. Not sure if I'll buy it again.
Design is not that nice but I think in the end, the value was there.
i have this case dropped several times never had a crack and saved my phone like the kick stand too,got it on amazon for 5$ cant beat that

Why pay 25$ when you can have it for less than 10 shipped? Still pretty durable and slick

My little review on the "Beyond Cell" "Duo shield" Samsung Galaxy S3 case.

My little review on the "Beyond Cell" "Duo shield" Samsung Galaxy S3 case.
after getting my s3, i like everyone else started looking for cases.
I couldn't justify spending $40+ on a case ( i know its not much ) but for me, i could essentially vacuum formed ABS around it & then painted that with 1 can of plastidip & had a case as good, if not stronger then a otter-box defender
so i went perusing the beautiful internets of china & saw some cases that were around $10-$20 . i saw a few, but it seemed like all where the same but the sellers were just inflating the prices.
so i decided i also wanted a kickstand, so what i wanted was:
kick stand,
hard-case
soft gel case to go over hardcase
So enter the Beyond Cell DUo Shield.
it cost me about $13 shipped & i surprisingly received it about 5 days after ordering.
I have dropped this thing 3 times on purpose from about waist height. & 2 on accident (it was on my lap when i got out of my car) & all is well still no cracks or breaks...etc.
the rubber sleeve has nubs on the inside of it, that press the buttons, so you don't have the hard dead feeling like with hard buttons. all the ports are accessible, 1 little issue i have with it, is i dont like how it emcpompases the LED, speaker & camera...but those are aesthetic issues.
pics are below.
I will get the pics of the phone in the case when i get my Nexus 7 from work since i cant take a pic of the phone in the case with the phone...lol

Screen defect?

I just purchased a Tab Pro 8.4 (mondrianwifi).
Love it and it's great. However, I quickly noticed something under the glass that might or might not be normal. It could be part of the manufacturing since it is so perfectly in the middle, past the display, and under the glass.

I am asking here because I ordered online and the device no longer has any retail presence to compare with in person. So, if anyone could tell me if they see or don't see the same, I appreciate it.
Thanks!
Hello,
I can't tell from the pictures if it's the same issue I had, however it probably is and I can see you are using the "clip" style case, I had the same / similar issue with this tablet where the screen would develop bubbles or what looked like bubbles (still not sure exactly what it is).
Basically it's an "easily fixable" defect with the tablet, it's caused when using a certain type cases that clip onto the tablet edges (even the official book cover case causes it!)..... if you want, try to remove it out of the case and leave it overnight face down and see if the "flaw/bubble" goes away or gets better, if it does then you will have to get a case that doesn't use the clip mechanism (I choose the minisuit rubber case for mine since it holds from above),the bubbles have never returned back since and it has been over 1 year.
you can see see my posts here when I had the issue and how I ended up solving it. (and yes mine did start out as a small dot like yours have then slowly spread to what you see in my pics)

Edit: thought I would show a current picture.
and here is my tablet today under the intensity of a florescent light - as you can see it has completely healed from the pics in that thread. (you can also see what type of case I am now using too.)

Quick Photos... iPulse Journal S8+ Case

Ok, so I picked up the iPulse case on Amazon. Most of the time my phone is bare or with a non-flip case but when I travel or have a business meeting, I dress it up a bit and I can leave my wallet at home. I really hate PU Leather and wanted something that acted like a stand too. Am I asking too much? Yes... but I did find ALMOST everything I wanted in this case.
The case holds up to 3 cards (or 3 cards and a license like I did). The feel is totally premium.
The case that holds the phone is surprisingly soft and the cut outs are perfect. Buttons on the left are easy to get to. There is enough room in the middle to get to them.
I have 2 gripes. One, the pocket is supposed to hold paper cash BUT its just barely small. As a result, its kinda useless. The other is that I wish the corners were rounded more because it feels a little bulky and that would help tons. It is totally worth the price though. Link to it is here.
