Google Earth Live Case for Pixel 2 - River

Sturdy case. Does the job. Dropped plenty of times and it has endured. Get a glass protector for the screen and you are all set. If you are a Google purist this will complete your collection.

Im really happy with this case. This was originally a $50 case, but part of the benefit of buying an older gen phone is now you can get that $50 case for $10. It feels better quality than even an otter box. The print is beautiful, detailed, and hi res, and wraps all the way on the sides on the hard part of the case (theres a separate inner soft rubbery part then the hard plastic snaps on top). The plastic has a nice feel, a nice matte thats smooth and enjoyable without feeling super slippery. You can easily access the fingerprint reader and active sides. The buttons are very easy to press but still protected. The case feels very sturdy and I am confident it will protect my phone from drops (I havent dropped it yet, if I do and something notable happens Ill update my review). Theres a little bit of a lip around the front to protect the screen from coming into contact with a surface, but its fairly minimal. Enough to work, but not enough to be bulky. Speaking of bulk, its a good compromise between protection and bulkiness. One thing to be aware of is its not easy to get the phone back out, so make sure you have your sim card in first. Also, if you use the companion app, you need a code from inside the case to activate the app, so be sure to get that before putting it on. (The app is very neat, by the way.)

I have seen a few people comment that this is not a real Google case. This case does work with the Google Live app so it does seem to be genuine. After only a few months, this case has multiple chips in it where the design has worn off. Structurally, the case is still very much intact, but I would expect greater durability of the graphics for a case that costs >30$s. My friend has the same style case for her phone and has had it for much longer, but she has virtually no chips. I may have gotten a faulty case or perhaps I have dropped it one too many times. In the end, the case has protected my phone well, but the aesthetics are not lasting.

I bought this directly from Google when I ordered my phone. It looks great, fits great, works great, but after a few months of normal use, the design is chipping off! All the corners and around the power button now have white patches. This doesnt affect its function, but sure impacts its look, which was the whole point of paying for a custom case!

The case will hinder the reading of Finger print. That’s the only annoying thing. Other than that, it’s a really good case.

I love this case. It makes me look up a new place on the planet every day. :)

Much better fit compared to other brands. It does not interfere with the squeeze function of the phone

LOVE this case for my Pixel 2. I downloaded Google Live Case and entered the code on the inside of my phone case and now my wallpapers change everyday to a beautiful, little-known location across the globe. What an awesome concept.

I love everything about this case

nice quality.
