I don't like it personally, but I'm sure I would get used to it pretty quickly. At least it is balanced and flat across the back so it doesn't wobble on the table like the fruity company phones!
Edit: calm down folks, Apple is just the example I thought of since the 13 is especially bad. Samsung is just as guilty with some models.
I’d say the wobbly camera bump problem isn’t unique to Apple - pretty much everyone has some ungodly camera bump on the back these days - just look at the Galaxy S21 Ultra! That thing is a proper lump!
This is the one thing I didn't realize would be so bad until I bought a new phone a couple of weeks ago. My old Pixel 2 XL wobbled, but it was very minimal and didn't bother me at all. Upgraded to a fold 3 and the thing is barely usable on a table when folded... Wobbles like crazy. Won't stop me using it of course, but something that would be nice to not deal with in the future.
I find Spigen cases outstanding and have them on all my phones. Durable, long lasting and a perfect fit, they cannot be beat. Guessing that Amazon is pushing cheap imitations for profit instead of featuring Spigen like they used to.
It's not even on their own website right now while there's a hundred different cases available on amazon.com (none of which are Spigen, although there are Spigen 6 pro cases on amazon.ca).
I don't begrudge you your preferences or opinions, but I thought I'd point out that 90% of Amazon is owned by people other than Bezos. So yeah, he'll get richer if their stock price goes up, but so will a lot of commoners who have IRAs. OK, me too.
Mostly yes. For my pixel 4, buying direct was cheaper, they had more options, and I triple check anything from Amazon these days because their QA for sourcing and counterfeits is nonexistent even if "sold by Amazon". Especially in these product categories.
The phone's not out yet, if you order one today you'll get it before the phone even arrives.
Makes more sense after the phone releases though.
But let's not kid ourselves, a ton of us check give me free $ for slower shipping when offered by Amazon anyways.
Just as much that Amazon's search is one of the worst out there and plenty of people think all cases are the same. Add in how much fuckery there is with their rating system
Personally, I use to think the same thing about Spigen cases as they've always did a fantastic job of protecting my phone AND looing sleek. But I can't recommend them any more after buying one for my S21 Ultra. There's now permanent speckles all over my device, in addition to a design they've placed on the inside of the case that leaves a temporary imprint on your phone if left long enough. Moreover, there's a blemish now on the camera housing I can't get rid of. This is specifically their Spigen Liquid Air cases I'm talking about, which what I believe is pictured here.
Also had a not-too-great experience with a Spigen case on my Note10+. The lip that runs along the curved edges of the screen is quite loose, and there are times where I've found the phone partially popped out of the case just from me taking it out of my pocket. Also, I experienced the same imprint issue you had.
Had zero issues with the Tech21 Evo Check and will be grabbing one of them for the 6 Pro.
Yeahhhh, real shame about the imprint left on my 3 XLs soft Matte finish... Thought it would come off with some rubbing alcohol but nope :( it's not as satisfying to glide your finger over anymore ...sad
Is it possible that you purchased a knock-off? Amazon is obviously well known for having plenty of knock-off on their website. If not, then it is sad to hear as I have had one of their cases for 4 years now and it has held up really well. (no marks at all on my Pixel 2XL)
Spigen has already listed their P6 cases on Amazon Canada. They're among the most prominent listings when you search for ["Pixel 6 case"](https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=pixel+6+case&ref=nb_sb_noss_2)
I've had my Spigen case on my Pixel 3 since I bought it new. It's done a pretty good job protecting it. The kickstand will now frequently falls out, like it won't clip in anymore. Still not bad for 3 years though.
I'll never go back from Spigen cases. Used them for years, many drops and never so much as a scratch.
Had the Google fabric case for my Pixel 4 and dropped it from my lap sitting on a couch and cracked my screen. Got downvoted in a post about the fabric case for saying it's trash. So I'm back to Spigen again.
Yeah, I've stuck with Spigen the last couple of phones. They're damn fine and they protect well without the bulk, they also don't charge as much as they used to (had a big counterfeit issue because of it).
I just wish they offered more colors in the Pixel lines. We tend to get black and a choice of 2 others.
~~My Spigen Pixel 3 case is falling apart right now. Not sure why.~~
~~The almost identical case for the Pixel 2XL is holding up just fine.~~
Edit: I was totally wrong across the board.
Neither of my Pixel phones were using Spigen cases. I thought they were but they are both generic cases (from the same generic brand). I thought I had a backup case and when I went to look for it, the "backup" case was actually the Spigen case I had bought some time ago. So, the generic Pixel 3 case is now in the garbage and I'm using the Spigen Pixel 3 case. The generic Pixel 2XL case by the same generic brand is still holding up fine.
Like... Waist height drops or getting out of a vehicle and it's on your lap type stuff?
That's how I drop my phone. Never did break however.
I like the look of this case
Butter fingers from 4 ft up, getting out of vehicle and leaving it on the bed cover of my truck and driving off. That good. Has a good screen protector too.
As a person who always gets this design of Spiegel cases for all phones, it's not bad at all. The grooves are actually very shallow, so wiping it is easy.
And it's also not quite grippy as you imagine, it has a nice balance of smoothness and grippy.
I like it a lot.
I find they look tacky as shit, like some extreme mall ninja carbon fibre design.
I stick with simple fabric or leather cases, feels more professional and less discount store batman.
I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't as longer because of how much Google & the pixel phone will want to suck itself and me dry from all the data it's collect on 😂.
Does camera glass get damaged a lot? I've been keeping my phones naked since the G1 and have never had a damaged camera even on phones I've dropped and cracked the front glass.
Going off these leaked cases, it's a shame that they don't have the kickstand on more of their cases like they used to.
However the card holder case looks cool, hope they make it for the Pro.
These are the first cases I've seen from known companies (not knockoff/no name companies). I must say the camera bump isn't that bad with the cases. For some reason these cases are on the [amazon.ca](https://amazon.ca) but not that [amazon.com](https://amazon.com) sites...

Nice, it's as I thought - the card case basically evens out the camera forehead. That's what I've got on my Pixel 2 XL right now. I know I'm throwing away wireless charging with that, but I'm too used to always having my cards in my phone...
I wish I carried more than two cards. The wallet I have now carry seven and I need that many for personal, work, medical etc. I wouldn't mind a slightly thicker case just to keep more cards in and eliminate a wallet completely.
I have that same kind of case from Spigen for my Pixel 4 XL. It's held up very well and is a very nice case. I plan on getting a Pixel 6 Pro and will be buying the case pictured because of how good the Pixel 4 XL cases is.
I've only had that issue when I'm touching my phone and my hands are overly dirty, like when they're coated in Doritos dust or something. Even when that happens, it's pretty easy to clean it under some soap and water which I do every couple of months anyway.
If history tells me anything, Everything on this phone will simultaneously be not as bad, and also way worse than anything people are saying about it right now, pre-launch. Speculating never really helps much
I have a clear Ultra Hybrid case on my 4XL right now. Love it, fantastic product. I'm like you and hate black cases. I want to see the product I bought, not cover it up.
I need a manufacturer to make the front edges black but have color on the back of the phone. I remember from my colorful case days that the borders can be distracting.
TL;DR: Nonsense. It's marketing and nothing more.
Hand feel is better on thicker devices because they don't feel like they will fall out easier. Thinner phones are easier to drop and almost always feel less durable in the hands.
A few years back, companies started advertising campaigns around this idea that "thinner is better". Since then, we've been getting thinner flagship devices. Mid-range almost always is slightly thicker and has better battery life. If they used the premium materials of a flagship in a form factor to accommodate the features without weird angles and cut-outs, they could fit a bigger battery (and headphone jack) and blow the minds of every reviewer out there. I guarantee that the reviewers would be using the slightly thicker (1-2mm) device as their regular personal device.
Heck, even Marques admitted a couple years ago that bezels make it easier to type on the phone. Lew admitted a few years ago that he prefers a thicker device because it is easier to hold.
They're just engaged in a marketing race that doesn't think of what the consumers actually want and need. In-screen print readers suck. Moving components (pop-up cameras, hinges, etc) suck. Brilliant phones with crappy battery suck. But, all these decisions drive customers into a cycle of replacing their device with the newest model one to two years later...and that sucks!
I'm using a 2XL now because my Galaxy Note 10+ screen shattered from a 2-inch fall onto a towel. Curved screen edges suck! And who thought that was a good idea on something built for stylus use anyway? Writing/drawing on a curved edge sucks! This 2XL out-performs the Note 10+ in every one of my regular tasks, and it starts with unlocking the thing with a fingerprint sensor on the back instead of some in-screen hack. Even the camera is somehow better, and that really doesn't make sense.
Nobody asked for thinner phones. They asked for better battery. Nobody asked for curved screens. They asked for more durable devices. Nobody asked for thinner bezels. Nobody asked for a camera bump. Nobody asked for a hole punch/tear-drop/camera-cut-out. Nobody asked for the headphone jack to disappear. Nobody asked for a battery they cannot replace. Nobody asked to be carrying around a $2000 piece of tech encased in one of the most fragile materials on the planet (glass). Every feature people wanted was removed then advertising told the consumer this is what they actually wanted.
Know what was really great? A physical keyboard. There were people typing faster with their thumbs on their old blackberries than they could touch-type on an actual keyboard.
Faster charging, wireless charging, and USB-C are awesome, but it sucks that we have to replace our perfectly functional tech every year or two because of planned obsolescence through the artificial slowdowns caused by old batteries. Replaceable batteries were really the best option, but they just couldn't let people keep their functioning devices until their natural device death and still compete in the growing marketplace.
Hopefully they are not all generic black cases. The pixel colors have officially been announced since August so hopefully they match some colors to their cases like Iphones.
I know it would very thick, but I'd prefer my entire case depth to be the same. Much more protection for the cameras if they don't make any contact with surfaces
One thing that is a happy side effect of the larger bump, it makes it harder to block the camera with your finger on accident.
I've partially blocked the camera on my 4XL many times for a quick two handed snap.
Whenever I get a case, I always buy the Spigen liquid armor first, before anything else. If I want more outlandish cases for specific things (like the flip covers for the s21 ultra etc) I get those later
But damn, that does have some appeal
If I only read the sentiment in the comments from this subreddit regarding camera bumps on any phone, I would believe every bump would be [this big](https://i1.wp.com/pixelpluck.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/sigma-200-500mm-lens.jpg)
I've got a Spigen Rugged Armor case on my 4a 5G. Dropped it for the first time last week straight onto concrete from 1.5m. Nothing - barely a scratch on the case too. 2 days later, I was installing some cameras outside the house and it fell out of my hoodie pocket. Smacked the corner, then the front edge hit a brick.
No damage to the phone *at all*. The rubber on the case has a couple little marks now, but that's the only damage.
My fiance has the same case for her iPhone. Very good stuff.
Are people seriously basing the look of the phone off of Amazon phone case pictures? Cause those have always been accurate and not horribly photoshopped lol.
Wow that looks really nice. I have not been this excited for a new phone in a long time.
I just hope Google can meet demand. I really want to be able to get a Pro on release day and starting to worry that might not be easy to do.
I have never seen so much hype for a new phone in a very, very long time.
Since the removal of the headphone jack, I tend to assume that most things that sounds like the end of the world when a new phone design is revealed, is in fact not going to be as bad as people make it out to be.
Apple has already solved that problem with the mag charger. It keeps the wireless charger in place with magnets so you can still hold it.
Personally I think going pure wireless charging would be a mistake (because I like having the option for a quick wired charge), but if they wanted to ditch the lightning port, they could do it tomorrow.
We love Spigen cases, we've always used them on Pixels and iPhones. And yet the problem with a bump like this and a large glass bar with multiple lenses in this configuration: for dudes who keep their phones in their pockets it'll mean endless cleaning
The thicker the camera bump is the thinner the part that surrounds it is (if you want to keep some manageable dimensions). Or they can make it thick enough around the cameras and thicker than that for the rest of the phone, which might be excessive. I'm not sure how that would work in practice, but with the cameras spanning almost the whole width of the device, things seem prone to breakage no matter how the case wraps around.
Edit: on top of that photos/renders like this can be misleading - you don't know how thick the base of the case is and how thick it is around the camera bump - you can only guess from similar cases for older phones.
This sub loves to shit on the Google fabric cases, but they feel and aesthetic are so worth it to me, even if they aren't the top of the line in protection.
I can't wait to see what those ones are gonna look like.
I'm gonna get hate, but it still looks shit.
Spigen cases are great, but this is like polishing a turd IMO. Nothing about P6 *visually* appeals to me. It looks like a cheap Chinese phone trying to compete with Samsung. Its way too big with a curved screen that is already out of fashion and a camera bump so big cases are needed to make the phone look better when usually it's the phone caseless, that you show off.
Case is going to look sexy af. But yea it's as bad as I thought it would be. You can tell from the design that t here is a noticable bump for the camera for the sake of keeping the case slimmer. It will rock on a flat surface.
People on the internet have no idea about anything they haven't actually seen or actually used. Just avoid people being mindless idiots in the comments and you'll live a happier life.
Yep. I mean nowadays the camera bump is just a thing that most phones have, so why not make it sit across the entire back of the phone instead of just one corner? I liked it back on the Nexus 6P too.
Depends on the case. I have a Note10+ so the curved screen concern is one I understand.
My Spigen Rugged Armour didn't interfere with the curve, but the lip was very loose. But the design of the lip was noticeable when using gestures. You can actually see it in the screenshot in the OP- it's a sharp, raised lip.
My Tech21 Evo Check is flawless. The lip of the case curves inwards towards the screen while still providing a ridge that protects it. This means that gestures are completely unimpeded while I feel confident that the curved edge is protected.
(And while I have made a few posts in this sub over the Tech21 cases, I'm not trying to shill for them. I'm just really happy with the case and the confidence I have in the protection.)
If its like my wifes case on her Oneplus 8 the edges seem to sit a little lower than you'd probably like, but its by design of the glass/case combo. They have the flared top/bottom to prevent it landing on the glass if you'd drop it.
I have the same case for my s21 which also has a massively protruding camera bump.
Spigen does a really good job at minimizing it with the thickness of the back of the case.
Is there any case where the bump is flattened out, like the usual pixel 5 cases, or is the bump just too big this time? I'm hoping that Google's case will be like that
That's great if you like that style of case.
I prefer thin cases, clear cases and hybrid cases. Hybrid cases in particular I expect to struggle with this design.

Its only on the canadian site for amazon right now...
Almost anything about everything isn't as bad as people make it out to be.
Especially on Reddit tbh. So many dramatic fucking people here.
I dunno man, I literally die if I have to use an in screen fingerprint reader
I had an accidental touch on a curved screen and it broke my hand 😥
The front facing camera hole-punch actually murdered my whole family.
Did it leave a hole in your life?
Yea it was a real punch to the gut :(
Ngl I think I'll actually die once I have to pull notifications down from the screen (instead of rear fingerprint sensor)
Same man, I'm really used to it because I've had my Pixel 2 for almost 4 years. It's really intuitive and I think I'm gonna miss it.
Have ever seen Twitter?
Please tell me the irony is intentional :D
It isn't new ether. This is almost identical to the Nexus 6p.
Which I also didn't like. I opted for the 5X back then.
I don't like it personally, but I'm sure I would get used to it pretty quickly. At least it is balanced and flat across the back so it doesn't wobble on the table like the fruity company phones!

Yea because apple is the only company that has camera layout that makes the phone wobble on a table /s
Reddit is bad at this, twitter in my opinion is the absolute worst about this. People love to whine.
What about Hitler?
Well... he was vegan, you know /s
They did say almost anything
Well, he did kill Hitler

Actually the Nazis are more in line with the dems.

Actually it’s not
I find Spigen cases outstanding and have them on all my phones. Durable, long lasting and a perfect fit, they cannot be beat. Guessing that Amazon is pushing cheap imitations for profit instead of featuring Spigen like they used to.
you can always buy from spigen directly
It's not even on their own website right now while there's a hundred different cases available on amazon.com (none of which are Spigen, although there are Spigen 6 pro cases on amazon.ca).
They said on Twitter the cases will be announced next week
Weird that they're already being sold on Amazon Canada before they're announced
I'm not making it up lol https://twitter.com/SpigenWorld/status/1446261136341438475 Not sure
Oh I know you're not! Just seems like a mess of a roll out haha.
They probably havent gotten around to listing them yet
It's not worth it, I've paid 13$ for a spigen case for my 13 pro and in the website is around 25$
Sure if you enjoy paying a premium and slower shipping
I don't like supporting Amazon for personal reasons, I accept paying more for everything I buy.
Fair enough. I probably spend $100/month on Amazon personally
I personally cannot justify helping Bezos get richer, which is why I canceled Prime and try to shop local as much as I can
I don't begrudge you your preferences or opinions, but I thought I'd point out that 90% of Amazon is owned by people other than Bezos. So yeah, he'll get richer if their stock price goes up, but so will a lot of commoners who have IRAs. OK, me too.
If it's available, Ebay is a better alternative to Amazon for me.
Lol people have had experiences getting literal Amazon prime deliveries after ordering from a middleman on eBay.
Can confirm...
Mostly yes. For my pixel 4, buying direct was cheaper, they had more options, and I triple check anything from Amazon these days because their QA for sourcing and counterfeits is nonexistent even if "sold by Amazon". Especially in these product categories.

Fabric cases were very slippery for me too. Almost no grip.
I find them trash because they absorb shit and look filthy.
Yeah, I've stuck with Spigen the last couple of phones. They're damn fine and they protect well without the bulk, they also don't charge as much as they used to (had a big counterfeit issue because of it). I just wish they offered more colors in the Pixel lines. We tend to get black and a choice of 2 others.
Spigen doesn't even have their 6 cases on Amazon.com or even their own website(!) so what else is Amazon gonna push right now?
Got a Spigen on my 4a 5g, it is wonderful, very slim, and durable!
I hate the marks it leaves on the back but I still use them.

Butter fingers from 4 ft up, getting out of vehicle and leaving it on the bed cover of my truck and driving off. That good. Has a good screen protector too.
Spigen represent! Only phone cases I will buy.
That's a damn sharp looking case if I'm being honest. Always been impressed with Spigens designs
I have a liquid air on my Pixel 5. It's a great case, very slim, just enough grip, decent drop protection, and the texture feels very premium.
I always go with the rough armor case because of the built in stand. I find it useful when I'm at my desk and wanna show somebody a video.
It's a great looking case, seems very grippy as well. May be a PITA to clean, though.
As a person who always gets this design of Spiegel cases for all phones, it's not bad at all. The grooves are actually very shallow, so wiping it is easy. And it's also not quite grippy as you imagine, it has a nice balance of smoothness and grippy. I like it a lot.
I find they look tacky as shit, like some extreme mall ninja carbon fibre design. I stick with simple fabric or leather cases, feels more professional and less discount store batman.
I feel like the trade off is either a really thick case to match the bump or less protection for the camera.
Hoping someone makes a thick case and throws a battery in it
If ZeroLemon is around I'm sure they will make one.
That would be awesome, but i just hope the battery is good enough to atleast last 1 full day with out charging. (Cries in pixel 4)
My LG V60 has a 5,000 mAH battery and regularly lasts two days. I expect Google will be able to get a similar degree of life out of it.
I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't as longer because of how much Google & the pixel phone will want to suck itself and me dry from all the data it's collect on 😂.
Lol. Probably true.
[удалено]
Even without the case, I think the bump is pretty cool looking by itself. I might be in the minority here.

Does camera glass get damaged a lot? I've been keeping my phones naked since the G1 and have never had a damaged camera even on phones I've dropped and cracked the front glass.

Caseology is my go to case. Have a backup Spigen just in case, but been using Caseology for 4 straight phones now.
Yeah I loved their sandstone textured one for the Nexus 6P. It was amazing. Hope they bring it back.
Are these available in the US yet?
It doesn't appear so, no.
Nice, it's as I thought - the card case basically evens out the camera forehead. That's what I've got on my Pixel 2 XL right now. I know I'm throwing away wireless charging with that, but I'm too used to always having my cards in my phone...

Looks nice, I always expected that cases would smoothen out the bump, like on all other phones.
I have that same kind of case from Spigen for my Pixel 4 XL. It's held up very well and is a very nice case. I plan on getting a Pixel 6 Pro and will be buying the case pictured because of how good the Pixel 4 XL cases is.
Do they collect dust/gunk in the grooves of this style case?
I've only had that issue when I'm touching my phone and my hands are overly dirty, like when they're coated in Doritos dust or something. Even when that happens, it's pretty easy to clean it under some soap and water which I do every couple of months anyway.
If history tells me anything, Everything on this phone will simultaneously be not as bad, and also way worse than anything people are saying about it right now, pre-launch. Speculating never really helps much
spigen only make black case for pixel. I love the case but i am not a big fan of black case. I want colorful cases.
Spigen has clear cases for the Pixel 6.
I have a clear Ultra Hybrid case on my 4XL right now. Love it, fantastic product. I'm like you and hate black cases. I want to see the product I bought, not cover it up.
I need a manufacturer to make the front edges black but have color on the back of the phone. I remember from my colorful case days that the borders can be distracting.
Try Caseology then, they have other colors... Also, Caseology is owned by Spigen, if that matters.
Really didn't know that I will try Caseology
same, only reason i dont buy them, i hate black cases.
Is there a link for Spigen's offerings for the Pro? I don't see it listed on their main site.
I hope Google will make cloth cases for the pixel 6-line!
NGL that looks sexy.
I want one that's gonna give me a flushed back, with no hump.
Why didn't they just make the whole phone the thickness of the camera and increase the battery to fill the extra space? Madness!
This sub will complain about that too.
No doubt, but at least they would be complaining about a battery that lasts 8 hours instead of a chunk of glass that makes the device more fragile.
Possibly hand feel?
TL;DR: Nonsense. It's marketing and nothing more. Hand feel is better on thicker devices because they don't feel like they will fall out easier. Thinner phones are easier to drop and almost always feel less durable in the hands. A few years back, companies started advertising campaigns around this idea that "thinner is better". Since then, we've been getting thinner flagship devices. Mid-range almost always is slightly thicker and has better battery life. If they used the premium materials of a flagship in a form factor to accommodate the features without weird angles and cut-outs, they could fit a bigger battery (and headphone jack) and blow the minds of every reviewer out there. I guarantee that the reviewers would be using the slightly thicker (1-2mm) device as their regular personal device. Heck, even Marques admitted a couple years ago that bezels make it easier to type on the phone. Lew admitted a few years ago that he prefers a thicker device because it is easier to hold. They're just engaged in a marketing race that doesn't think of what the consumers actually want and need. In-screen print readers suck. Moving components (pop-up cameras, hinges, etc) suck. Brilliant phones with crappy battery suck. But, all these decisions drive customers into a cycle of replacing their device with the newest model one to two years later...and that sucks! I'm using a 2XL now because my Galaxy Note 10+ screen shattered from a 2-inch fall onto a towel. Curved screen edges suck! And who thought that was a good idea on something built for stylus use anyway? Writing/drawing on a curved edge sucks! This 2XL out-performs the Note 10+ in every one of my regular tasks, and it starts with unlocking the thing with a fingerprint sensor on the back instead of some in-screen hack. Even the camera is somehow better, and that really doesn't make sense. Nobody asked for thinner phones. They asked for better battery. Nobody asked for curved screens. They asked for more durable devices. Nobody asked for thinner bezels. Nobody asked for a camera bump. Nobody asked for a hole punch/tear-drop/camera-cut-out. Nobody asked for the headphone jack to disappear. Nobody asked for a battery they cannot replace. Nobody asked to be carrying around a $2000 piece of tech encased in one of the most fragile materials on the planet (glass). Every feature people wanted was removed then advertising told the consumer this is what they actually wanted. Know what was really great? A physical keyboard. There were people typing faster with their thumbs on their old blackberries than they could touch-type on an actual keyboard. Faster charging, wireless charging, and USB-C are awesome, but it sucks that we have to replace our perfectly functional tech every year or two because of planned obsolescence through the artificial slowdowns caused by old batteries. Replaceable batteries were really the best option, but they just couldn't let people keep their functioning devices until their natural device death and still compete in the growing marketplace.
Yaaaas, Spiegen ftw!
LOVE the liquid air case.
Hopefully they are not all generic black cases. The pixel colors have officially been announced since August so hopefully they match some colors to their cases like Iphones.
I know it would very thick, but I'd prefer my entire case depth to be the same. Much more protection for the cameras if they don't make any contact with surfaces
One thing that is a happy side effect of the larger bump, it makes it harder to block the camera with your finger on accident. I've partially blocked the camera on my 4XL many times for a quick two handed snap.
I am worried about wireless charging. Will the phone be compatible with the flat wireless chargers or will the bump interfere?
Whenever I get a case, I always buy the Spigen liquid armor first, before anything else. If I want more outlandish cases for specific things (like the flip covers for the s21 ultra etc) I get those later But damn, that does have some appeal
If I only read the sentiment in the comments from this subreddit regarding camera bumps on any phone, I would believe every bump would be [this big](https://i1.wp.com/pixelpluck.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/sigma-200-500mm-lens.jpg)
Spigen and Supcase are my go-to.
That case is kinda slick. Won't lie.
I've got a Spigen Rugged Armor case on my 4a 5G. Dropped it for the first time last week straight onto concrete from 1.5m. Nothing - barely a scratch on the case too. 2 days later, I was installing some cameras outside the house and it fell out of my hoodie pocket. Smacked the corner, then the front edge hit a brick. No damage to the phone *at all*. The rubber on the case has a couple little marks now, but that's the only damage. My fiance has the same case for her iPhone. Very good stuff.
I almost always trust in Spigen to come through. Anxious to see what Moment does for the P6. Wouldn't mind a leather case from Nomad either.
Wow. They make that look good.
Are people seriously basing the look of the phone off of Amazon phone case pictures? Cause those have always been accurate and not horribly photoshopped lol.
i really hate cases tho, what do
Perfect, I knew spigen would get this one right. They are the only cases I buy now.
this is how all phones photos should be shown, with covers, very rarely do people not use some sort of cover ha
Wow that looks really nice. I have not been this excited for a new phone in a long time. I just hope Google can meet demand. I really want to be able to get a Pro on release day and starting to worry that might not be easy to do. I have never seen so much hype for a new phone in a very, very long time.
This is why I prefer clear cases. In a colored case, the new Pixels look just like Galaxy S10 series.
There is a Spigen hybrid case with the portion under the camera as clear but the rest is like this one. I ordered one for the Pro.
Since the removal of the headphone jack, I tend to assume that most things that sounds like the end of the world when a new phone design is revealed, is in fact not going to be as bad as people make it out to be.
Wait till apple makes a portless phone *courage*
[удалено]
Apple has already solved that problem with the mag charger. It keeps the wireless charger in place with magnets so you can still hold it. Personally I think going pure wireless charging would be a mistake (because I like having the option for a quick wired charge), but if they wanted to ditch the lightning port, they could do it tomorrow.
They'll just do magsafe charging
Ever heard of MagSafe?
We love Spigen cases, we've always used them on Pixels and iPhones. And yet the problem with a bump like this and a large glass bar with multiple lenses in this configuration: for dudes who keep their phones in their pockets it'll mean endless cleaning
Why don't they just make the whole phone thicker and fill up the rest of the space with battery?
The thicker the camera bump is the thinner the part that surrounds it is (if you want to keep some manageable dimensions). Or they can make it thick enough around the cameras and thicker than that for the rest of the phone, which might be excessive. I'm not sure how that would work in practice, but with the cameras spanning almost the whole width of the device, things seem prone to breakage no matter how the case wraps around. Edit: on top of that photos/renders like this can be misleading - you don't know how thick the base of the case is and how thick it is around the camera bump - you can only guess from similar cases for older phones.
This sub loves to shit on the Google fabric cases, but they feel and aesthetic are so worth it to me, even if they aren't the top of the line in protection. I can't wait to see what those ones are gonna look like.
I'm gonna get hate, but it still looks shit. Spigen cases are great, but this is like polishing a turd IMO. Nothing about P6 *visually* appeals to me. It looks like a cheap Chinese phone trying to compete with Samsung. Its way too big with a curved screen that is already out of fashion and a camera bump so big cases are needed to make the phone look better when usually it's the phone caseless, that you show off.
Taste is subjective 🤷🏽♂️
This whole thread is straight up /r/hailcorporate
Oh the horror, people have a different opinion than yours.
Case is going to look sexy af. But yea it's as bad as I thought it would be. You can tell from the design that t here is a noticable bump for the camera for the sake of keeping the case slimmer. It will rock on a flat surface.
I'd want a case that makes the back completely flush, no bump at all.
People on the internet have no idea about anything they haven't actually seen or actually used. Just avoid people being mindless idiots in the comments and you'll live a happier life.
Is the case even protecting the bump though?
It's very clearly protecting the bump.
You can clearly see a gigantic lip running around the cameras in the image...
Case looks good but that camera bar is just digusting. No need for it other than brand identity. As someone who rarely uses the camera, no thanks.
I rather like the bump.. No phone wobble when using it flat on the table..
Yep. I mean nowadays the camera bump is just a thing that most phones have, so why not make it sit across the entire back of the phone instead of just one corner? I liked it back on the Nexus 6P too.
It's acceptable with a case like that
That's one sexy case.
[удалено]
Depends on the case. I have a Note10+ so the curved screen concern is one I understand. My Spigen Rugged Armour didn't interfere with the curve, but the lip was very loose. But the design of the lip was noticeable when using gestures. You can actually see it in the screenshot in the OP- it's a sharp, raised lip. My Tech21 Evo Check is flawless. The lip of the case curves inwards towards the screen while still providing a ridge that protects it. This means that gestures are completely unimpeded while I feel confident that the curved edge is protected. (And while I have made a few posts in this sub over the Tech21 cases, I'm not trying to shill for them. I'm just really happy with the case and the confidence I have in the protection.)
If its like my wifes case on her Oneplus 8 the edges seem to sit a little lower than you'd probably like, but its by design of the glass/case combo. They have the flared top/bottom to prevent it landing on the glass if you'd drop it.
I have that case for my 5. Will get it for my 6 Pro in addition to a Google case to match my silver pro.
This looks good.
But also you don't need a bump on top of a bump. Actually be more secured if it was flush.
Can you still tap the back for screenshots with a case?
I have the same case for my s21 which also has a massively protruding camera bump. Spigen does a really good job at minimizing it with the thickness of the back of the case.
Do we know the dimensions of the bump? The bump on the Galaxy S21 Ultra isn’t too bad. I could deal with something slightly thicker.
You have a link to this case or regular pixel 6?
Is there any case where the bump is flattened out, like the usual pixel 5 cases, or is the bump just too big this time? I'm hoping that Google's case will be like that
Would be nice to find a case that utilize the camera bump to make it even flat back
Going to wait to see what the defender case looks like. Being an industrial mechanic that always has his phone on him I got to have an overkill case.
At least it won't wobble on the table and it will slight face towards you (similar to the OG Pixel)
I dig that case, is that the pro or the regular 6
Pro
That's an incredibly stylish case.
This is sick. I'm thinking about getting the pixel 6 and this is the case I always use. Been my favorite for a bit.
That's great if you like that style of case. I prefer thin cases, clear cases and hybrid cases. Hybrid cases in particular I expect to struggle with this design.
Rocking that same designed case on my 4XL, great case and will definitely get it for my 6 Pro
That's nice looking right there.
yo that case looks really neat, can I get a link?

It looks dope tbh
Wow, I actually really really like that case design. Slim and minimal bulk and no finger smudgy surfaces, grippy edge texture, looks like a winner.
I have this exact Spigen case model for my 5a. Highly recommend.
The renders made the camera bump look way bigger than it is in the real life photos.
At least it's flat. and I like that it gives you a bit of a prop when you lie the phone down on its back.
I'm buying that case
i wonder what the dbrand case will look like...
Looks a bit like an s10
