Dang it, just got notified that my phone is ready for pick up, 7 minutes before they close. Thought real hard about flying out of here at 100 miles per hour, guess I’ll have to be there tomorrow morning. Ugh.

Got the Case Mate clear case through Google, holy cow that thing popped in super tight.

Tried to take it off to try another case, Jesus Christmas it's on so tight, my fingers got purple and blue pinching the side to remove the phone. Ugh. How do I take the phone out of the case without breaking my brand new phone? LOL.

I had the same thing happen on gear 4 cases. It was the Milan for the P7P. There were a couple times I thought I was going to snap the phone in half just trying to get it out of the case.

I like a good fit but it also needs to come off!

Ok let's unbox:

I am not normally a fan of off white. I normally like a bright white but the colors this year are pretty sweet. The porcelain just has a really unique look.

I still prefer the Bay but the porcelain is really nice. The other color I like is the green Pixel 8 as it also looks really good.

Google did a much better job in colors this year. I think they are as nice as Apple and better than Samsung. Hopefully next year we will get more fun colors over all and maybe Bay will inspire Samsung?

For the Pro they are. I like porcelain and the blue.
Not enamored with the P8 colors. Rose is a girls color imo, which is cool but I wouldn't buy it for myself..... and I don't buy black. The Hazel is eh,...it's ok and that's what I got.

Got my shipping notices this afternoon and my Wifes was going to get here after mine but now looks like it will get here before mine.
Says it's coming from Rancho Cucamonga CA via Fed Ex while mine is from No. Cal via UPS.
Kinda weird. Hers says estimation is the 12th to 13th, mine is 13th to 16th estimation. Figuring hers will be the 13th. Neither have been
picked up yet last i looked.

Hallelujah it’s finally marked as shipped! Won’t get here till Friday but at least I’ve got tracking now. This is going to be a long wait…
Mine is shown as a Friday delivery well, so I'll have to experience the Pixel 8 Pro (or non Pro) through our "regulars" here on the thread.
I actually have to say that our Android thread leaders here do me a great service by posting their opinions and experiences which has helped me more than, say, Youtube.
Thanks, people!

My Mous case went on super tight as well, not tried to remove it yet but I know it's going to be a struggle lol.
