Why didn't you consider Ringke?
@@RogueVisionary Right? ... And nearly a dozen other brands as well. This video is extremely subjective and based solely off the creator's personal opinion, not an informed or firmly-grasped awareness of the case market. "Making the wrong decision" could be following this video's advice.
Where's the Peak Design magsafe?
Why not quadlock and peak design? They're the only two I'd consider over no case.
mous isnt availible now at google right?
I got the Ringke Fusion Matte Clear and LOVE IT. The matte back really does a phenominal job on retaining clarity of the phones color and practically no smudging.
I like Ringke cases in general. I don't know why he didn't mention it here. I really enjoy the shoulder strap that you can add on
He has good taste but yeah should have looked at the Ringke Onyx as well.
Thank you, this is exactly the kind of video I was looking for!
I personally got the Caseology but not this plain one, I got the one that looks like panels on the back, almost like a puffer jacket. I love it. Grippy, stylish and most importantly for me, doesn't make the phone look bulky
Very well explained, thank you for posting!
Great video! Love to see more magsafe cases. Wish they included it into the 1st party with the Qi2 around the corner
Would a magsafe case prevent me from using my existing wireless chargers?
I bought the Spigen, in the Mute Blue to match the Bay color of the phone. I had Spigen on my P6 and was happy with it. Your video validated my decision. I thought your video was well made and useful in comparing brands! Thanks!
Many of these cases fail to do much to protect the visor, leaving it very exposed. I prefer cases that cover the visor with a good lip and camera cutouts. I bought the Caseology Athlex and has this protection and great grip.
My first Case for the Pixel 8 Pro was an generic clear case with magsafe from amazon. But the ring was alligned to high. They centered it around the G on the back. Which is to high for charging.
Great review. I bought the Google case and a Ringke case (similar to the spigen case you have). I like the google case way more than the Ringke case I bought.
i ummmed and arrred for a few days looking on amazon before i committed to my case choice.I got the Spigen in this video. I think it's the most stylish for the price, with great protection and just a lovely feel in the hand. I really wanted something with decent grip and i think they got it just right. pixel 8 ftw
2 mins into your review and I hit the subscribe button. How the fxxxk do you only have 17.1k subscribers is beyond me. Nice job. I just purchased a Pixel 8 Pro and found this video very helpful.
should subscriptions not reflect your intrest? Nice from you though
I got the Spigen Tough Armor, one step bulkier than the one you reviewed. I value protection, grip, and quality, the goal is to trade the phone in undamaged. Also, this case was available when I preordered the Pixel 8 Pro.
Took the Spigen he shows, insanely good protection, nice haptic and with added protection glass its safe af.
Yep Tough Armor will last me 7 yrs. Sux to lose the shape though
The Spigen "Rugged Armor" case is good too - offers a similar level of protection but is less bulky than "Tough Armor". Only available in matte black though.
I have a Caseology Parallax case in sky blue, Spigen Tough Armour in black and forest green and I just bought a Poetic Neon series about 2hrs ago. I also have an X-Level Carbon fiber case and I love how thin it is but it's extremely hard to get off and it has a defect in the carbon where there is a bubble on the back which annoys me so I stopped using that case.
I wish there were more magsafe compatible cases as it is much feasible as there are more n more accessories adding up with magsafe compatibility including the anker powerbank.
Fun Fact: The Spigen Liquid Air has the exact dimensions of the back of the phone so you are able to use skins on the case. It works very well with dbrand type skins. It makes that case truly unique. I do not agree with the reviewer saying it adds too much bulk. It's really slim and comfortable.
I'm sorry, but I can't help but point out that it's impossible for the exterior of the _case_ (assuming that's where one would apply a skin, as you suggest) to be the same dimensions as the _phone_ . In fact, Spigen themselves indicate that the case adds 0.7" of bulk to the phone... So... Exact dimensions? Not quite. However, it _is_ a rather thin case, so applying a skin is plausible. I would just be concerned with how well a skin would adhere to the textured surface of the Spigen case. Just wanted to add some clarity regarding the dimensions, as to help ensure others weren't potentially misled by the above comment. I do agree though, the Spigen case _is_ quite thin.
I totally agree with you. I find it to be really slim and comfortable.
hey internet stranger. here's a fact. I actually have done this over several generations of the liquid air. there is no reason to challenge me. since its the internet i guess its your right to dispute. but why? What do you have to gain? i suggest you do more research. look closely at the sides of the case where the texture ends. the case has a line where the texture stops and the sides begin. I am offended you would even think to call me a liar. google this "debrand skin on liquid air". DO BETTER @@JeReMyIsMeNoTyOu
@@JeReMyIsMeNoTyOu the dbrand skin is to be added under the case...not on top
@@user-jy4yi8tp4v I am aware. Re-read the comment I replied to, they are talking about applying a skin to the case.
The one who stands me most is your eyeglass, it's something beautiful coming from a person who has eyeglasses also
Spent £49 on BellRoy lether case. I am using it for the first time and was already impressed with the touch and feel. I hope it's durable too and protects the phone.
The generic case has a misaligned magnetic ring, compare to Mous, which has the right implementation. So instead of helping that makes wireless charging inefficient.
Caseology does a really nice texture black case that looks like a rubber, with indented sides that make it extra grippy. I don't like the way the back is segmented but for me its the best texture and it looks more premium than Spigen's dated designs.
Check the Ringke case. ❤
have you tested the non slim mous cases? I'm thinking of getting the clear one
What screen protector do you recommend?
Funny, I think the opposite of the Mous Super Thin Case. I found it quite expensive and elegant looking. And the fact that they can fit MagSafe in such a low profile case makes it superior to the Google case.
Big fan of Spigen in past, and looks like will go with them again for my new Pixel.
Beroy every time for me, used them since my Pixel 3XL...Leather is just the best feel of all materials. Expensive but worth every cent!
I wish you've reviewed later case carbon case as well 😭Great review anyway!
I had a Spigen ultra clear for my pixel 8 pro, that made it uncomfortable to hold. I got a caseology clear case that doesn't fit properly, wobbly on the sides. In the end, the ringke clear case is the best and the cheapest.. Go for that
I can't believe I can't find a case with just a lot of rubber protecting the screen and camera bar, the lip or raised edges are minimal on them all
My pixel 7 pro case fits my pixel 8 pro. Maybe it's a bit tighter on the new phone but better than nothing until I decide which case to buy
I made a mistake buying the Mous case that you featured in this video. It fell once face front on the tiled flooring and broke my glass screen protector. Fell on its back side once on uneven concrete and scratched the aluminium visor around the cameras. Same thing with the Dbrand cases. Does not provide enough protection for the aluminium visor on the back. So it's Spigen all the way for me. They need to make all their cases magsafe compatible though so I can mount them to the magnetic car mount. That's been my only gripe with Spigen
Still waiting on my dbrand ghost as well as my Ghostek cases to ship....also got a teardown skin from dbrand I'm waiting on. But in the meantime I'm using a ringke clear case with no issues. Just wish my dbrand and Ghostek ones would ship already...
On my Pixel 7 Pro I prefer the Google case and added the ESR Magsafe case magnet. I've already ordered both for my replacement Pixel 8 Pro coming this week.
i had similar Spigen case on my s10e for over 4 years and my phone fall hundrets of time without getting damage. So i highly reccomend it.
The editing filters make the sleeves look a totally different color than the real ones... that is a disappointment because the google sleeve looks a greenish gray color that looks sensational to the black pixel, but when you go to the google page link the sleeve is a totally different gray... 😩😩😩
Cases from 7 Pro fit. Ultrawide, flash, temperature sensors are partialy blocked if the case have cutouts for them.
I'm a firm believer in OtterBox for ensuring no damage... But this time, I'm taking a chance on Peak Design's Everyday case. Much less bulky, and a pretty solid mounting set up for motorcycles, and magsafe compatible. Plus it comes in a dark red/maroon color, which i really like. We'll see how it goes.
Liking the Everyday Case?
OtterBox have become less popular because phones have become much more durable.
The Speck Presidio Grip 2 (Black) is another great case.
I believe the visor is actually a cooling body. That's why I doubt that it is good to put a cover on it.
Nice review of the selection of cases. Just wanted to ask in relation to haptic feedback. Which cases closely resemble the haptic feedback, similar to when using the phone without the case. I hava a Tudia Merge case which provides solid protection, however sacrificies in terms of haptic feedback i assume due to the bulkness of the case. So am looking for another case that can give a less bulkier feel and a better haptic response. The selection you have shown off look great, especially Google's own case and Bellroy's leather. Thanks
Google and Bellroy have the closest feel!
@@VittorTech Thanks for the swift response, much appreciated 👍🏽
Thank you for the video... Some feedback, any case you show with Magsafe needs to be checked to make sure the magnets are aligned properly and compared versus others for magnetic strength. Mous is notorious for having weak magnets. Also, I bought that flat sided Amazon case and the magnets aren't aligned properly so wireless charging doesn't work.
This! Would love to have that included in any review with this feature. Came here for it because the case I ordered (not one you reviewed) disrupted wireless charging even though it claimed not to.
I had a Spigen for the 6A and the etched design on the inside of the case ended up getting pretty imprinted onto the back of the phone unfortunately. Other than that great case
Same!
I love the bellroy, Googles own case and mous but the absence of magsafe is a deal breaker.
What color is the google one, and where can i find it?
I think google one looks the best overall. But spegan looks nice too
i have the A plus copy in the UK from "owkey", honestly cannot fault it, i prefer using a magsafe charger in the car as far too often have i forgot to plug my phone in lol. i also have a spidgen touch armour that i pre ordered, honestly prefer the feel of the owkey.
i purchased a $9 hard pc clear case on amazon and its pretty good quality and shows the phone off nice. $9 including tax
where is the link for the A Plus case?
5:55 I'll buy this one, it looks like it could protect my phone a lot
I like the Ottpluscase because it is translucent.
Soigné make amazing cases there liquid air is my go to every time
I've had silicone cases similar to the original Google Case for the OnePlus 8 Pro and S22 Ultra, both were beautiful and felt amazingly good, but they were hard to get in and out of the jeans pocket, plus they were a dust magnet. Is it the same with the Google Case?
Indeed, the Google Case pulls out your jeans' pocket when taking it out and then you can't put it back in, you need to fix your pocket first.
Good video ty. Boost your sound.
I got a Spigen case for my pixel 8 pro. It's great but the lip around the screen is quite big which makes it hard to use the back gesture.
Really? I keep unintentionally using the back gesture quite often. Case or no case
@@shajiwahab hey, yeah so my thumb used to hit off the lip of the case. I changed case that has a much lower lip so I can swipe backwards much easier.
@@darthwilson I get what you mean. I had the Mous case with a lower lip but that didn't prevent my glass screen protector from cracking. Only the Spigen helped. So what case did you like the most that offered both protection and was minimalist at the same time?
A "top cases" video should _at least_ mention OtterBox. Or: UAG, Rhinoshield, Ghostek, Burga, Caseology, Case-Mate, Casetify, Incipio, Poetic, Tech21, Speck, Zagg, Pela, Supcase, MNML (now PHNX), and dbrand... To name a few -potential- contenders.
Love the Caseology clear with pearls design BUT it is way too tight. It is very difficult to get on the phone and almost impossible as well to get off. I don't want to accidently bend my phone in the process. Sent back.
I returned the Google case as I thought it felt really slippy in the hand???
What color is the Google case you're showcasing here? Is is Charcoal? Thanks
Yes it is
OtterBox defender pro works for me
Problem solved! Thanks
Still haven't seen a decent review for the Peak Design for ghet Pixel 8 Pro
Have anyone tried the Dbrand Ghost Case?
Is the official Google case charcoal? Looks green on my screen.
I want to see camera comparison between pixel Samsung and iPhone (detailed)
MOUS Clarity 2.0 is great
Why not review the Supcase?
Was hoping to see the ghost case
No magbak?
I will also pick the Google case
not the dbrand grip case?
Please don't get that case. It adds a lot of bulk to the phone and doesn't protect the aluminium visor around the camera
2:33 its funny because it looks like you're holding my phone i have the same case & phone
Belroy has been my choice for many years and my belroy Pix 7 pro case fits my Pixel 8 pro ..you just need to drill a hole for the microphone.
Google hit it out of the park w their cases this year. IMHO
Those are fine cases if you just want to protect your phone from scratches and minor bumps. I wouldn't trust those "pretty" slim cases when you drop your phone.
I have the caseology and love it because I want that protection. I originally bought a Spigen Tough Armor case and when it came, it smelled like cheetos. I am not kidding. I could not touch it or keep it on my phone because it smelled so bad.
Zagg luxe pro is the best case
Waiting on my dbrand ghost :(
👍
Hi - whats meg safe you mentioned
Nobody got the Peak Design case eh
I'm thinking of getting it? Do you recommend it? How's the camera protection? I heard it's pretty minimal which makes me nervous.
Is the case from Google compatible with wireless charging?
Those are all business man type cases. Why no working man, rugged cases? Something like CaseBorne V Series? If I pay this much for a phone, I want as much protection as possible!
Most are overkill. Spigen one offers plenty of protection. Phones are very durable these days - waterproof, dust proof, very tough glass etc.
spigen liquid air... don't bother if u looking at smaller lip at the sides, really uncomfortable with gestures
That first case doesn't make any sense. How can it be that expensive and doesn't have that good of a protection for the camera?
It's a tailored leather case. It utilizes a far more expensive material that requires a higher degree of craftsmanship to manufacture. You're paying for fit, finish, quality, and luxury - not the ability to be yeeted off a building.
@@JeReMyIsMeNoTyOu if it doesn’t protect the camera visor well, that’s not really quality
@@RogueVisionary Well they clearly didn't design that case for people that are worried about the camera bump, but that doesn't mean it isn't a quality case.
Spigen Tough Armour is the GOAT.
For the price of mous it should be flawless. Looks more as a china made drop off...
I don't trust Google anymore. I spent $30 on the Google case and it warped in 4 months. Complete waste of $
What did you do to the case though
I believe you should still get 1 years warranty on any defects, so you could just get them to refund you or try another one .
Pixel6 cases had a problem. I bought a Pixel7 case last December and a year after it looks brand new. The Pixel8 ones look like they are made from the same material.
@@marcakko2010yea I got a refund and purchased a $10 case off Amazon and no problems since.
@@yanni2737Amazon has tons of reviews saying their power buttons fell off or it warped or fell apart in some way. I'm glad u had luck though but I don't want to waste money. $35 is a lot for a piece of plastic.
if you buy any android phones, you will regret it when trying to get some money back when a new phone is released.
Apple fanboy alert🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't sell phones , so I am good
I am NOT a fan of the new rounded edges....ugh ugly!
