They’re overpriced but the one on Snowball the Pixel 2 has held up nicely and even survived a little kid with a bad cold and grubby hands. I had to wash it after that and it cleaned up nice. Also don’t forget a woman may not get these cases as dirty as you guys get them. If they’re living the handbag life it can be pretty clean. I regularly vacuum the lint out of my purses and bags and wash the ones that are washable like some of my Vera Bradley real and knockoff bags. With the exception of the outing with my friend’s aforementioned child, I’ve not really ever gotten the fabric cases dirty.
I just bought that 5a and will probably be dying to get the 6 when I see all of y’all talking about it and posting awesome pics taken with it
My Spigen 6 Pro case arrived from Amazon already.
My Samsung s21 Ultra just fits inside of it. It’s a bit of a squeeze because the top of the S21 Ultra is thick thanks to the camera bump.
So at least I know it’s not going to be a size I’m uncomfortable using regularly. It’s a little longer than the 13 Pro Max. At least I think it was. My husband compared them on his way to his meeting.
I took some photos so you can see the S21 Ultra next to it and in it for reference. Pardon the crumbs that got picked up from the dining table where I opened the boxes and took my S21 Ultra out of its case.

I just bought these 2. I'd have preferred a plain back on the black one, but at less than £20 for both, they'll be fine until more get released.
I always found the fabric cases very easy to wash - in fact, that's part of the appeal. Just chuck them in the washing machine on the delicate/hand wash setting.
Yes, that's what I got, that's the one in my photo. It's thin and light. I still have the plastic protective film on the clear panel. Unfortunately that part is likely to get some scratches and smudges. But it will show off whatever colors we get.Got my eyes on this case
I've seen Evleaks on Twitter's photos of the official cases. Hmm. I'm going to have to see them in person or in more photos. I'm thinking the phones are attractive bare. But the shape and the long expanse of the slab makes for potentially awkward case silhouettes. I can't really tell from the leaked photos how these will turn out. They have color but appear translucent. So I am not sure how well a white case will look on a black/Grey phone.
Thought it was, looks good. I. Can imagine the official cases won’t be cheap. I did buy a similar one for my 13 pro max from spigen but downside i use MagSafe so i will have to take the case off each time. Although when I’m at home i tend to use my phone without a case on to enjoy the look. Don’t think i would dare do it when walking outside but at home and in the office it’s fine.
These look thin fitting

Here's how the Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro cases work around the camera bar [Gallery]
Google stopped offering fabric cases with the Pixel 5a and the next Pixel is set to continue that unfortunate change. The Pixel 6 Pro case...

There's absolutely no way I'll be buying a piece of black plastic to cover this beauty.
Clear at best! But even then I hate cases on phones but with this being so big it will need some sort of protection.

I’m really liking all the Spigen cases. But I’m holding back because I’m not sure I’ll be able to get a phone. I don’t mind ending up on backorder but Google goes out of stock. Ordinarily I’d try and see what my 3XL would fetch in trade. But I’m not wasting time on that. The green 12 mini goes up for trade.
Are you planning on trade in with Google store? I'm thinking you selling it would fetch more but let's see if these rumors of better incentives will be true...
Any else disappointed there isn’t a smaller pixel 6? I was just comparing dimensions, and even the regular pixel 6 is almost the same size as the iPhone pro max.
I'm not disappointed since I like them on larger side but I've stated they should be more of a difference in sizes...
This case comparison around the 330 mark shows how close they are to each other
Yes I’ll do a trade. I don’t want to deal with people directly. I used to be okay with it so my husband sold our phones. Or I passed them to family.
I will take some loss of dollars to not deal with any buyers with remorse or dissatisfaction. Let the trader inspect and refurbish it. They deserve the money they make dealing with people. My nerves can’t take that.

Thanks. I prefer “smaller” phones (which were considered large a few years ago). Kinda crazy that my iPhone 13 Pro is the same size as my old Note 5.
I have an iPhone 13 mini which I love, but was looking to get something to replace my Pixel 4 which had a broken screen. I thought regular Pixel 6 would be it, but now seeing how big it is, not sure what I can get on the Android side. Might just get a used Note 10 mini or another Pixel 4.
I really wish Google would move the launch of the pixel earlier. I loved when you had the choice of the note line, the new iPhone, and the pixel within a few weeks of each other. I liked to alternate between them.
I would have probably bought a pro this summer, but now I am going to wait for the s22 ultra.
Still very interested to see how the pictures turn out with the new sensors.

Are you going to wait for the S22 Ultra so you can comparison shop or do you mean you’ve already decided that’s the one you want?
I wish Google would have released this before the iPhone. But I’m glad they at least leaked most of it ahead of time.
I hear ya with the worries of sales …hopefully the rumors of good incentives are real …
I know unfolded it’s large phone but portability closed is perfect if you consider the Z Flip 3…Pixel 5 maybe another choice ..
LOL. It will be fine. The general public doesn't even know the Pixel exist and if Google does not go all in with a marketing blitz it will stay that way. And so far I have not seen anything from them except a few billboards in a few markets. And yes I know they said they are going to up their marketing spend so hopefully they are just waiting on the phone to be announced officially before doing so. I'm excited for this phone and plan to buy a 6 Pro to use alongside my iPhone 13 Pro (which is working way better than what you have experienced).
