I love the shockproof ones. Rubber that absorbs impact are a life saver :tu:

Hindsight is a wonderful thing....

I would have bought a clapped out same phone which you could get for around £6 I reckon. Then I would have swapped over cases. Then sold it for a bit more.

The screen needed replacing too. Loads of scratches. The phone would cripple link rate too. When connecting to a network it's fine but after some time it doesn't operate at the higher link rate until I turn off and on again to connect to the network. Battery was shocking. This Google 6 Pro holds charge.

Then the obvious question would be why did you even considered to sell it in the first place. It's done its job, should have just chucked it in the bin. Instead of trying to pass it off and mug someone else with it.

I didn't. The examination found all the faults as listed in the report. I wasn't shocked at the revised quote of 6£. I was shocked reading the buyer would repair the phone. I couldn't be arsed with eBay for that very reason. It wasn't even worth listing it as parts.

That's fair enough and explains my question.

Hope you put on a tempered glass screen protector on your new phone as well as the case, then it'll never get scratches?

The screen protector is hydrogel to accommodate the curves each side of the display. Thankfully China are nice with fool proof instructions :tu: I love the case with the Google logo on. All from AliExpress for a couple of pound :D

I didn't think the Pixel 9 had a curved display, atleast my Pro doesn't. Glad you have something protecting it.

Oh. I thought you was talking of the 6 Pro :dunce: yes the 9 Pro XL has tempered glass on it and a Google logo case.

I never did like curved screens, I never owned one but they looked awkward to use.

Navigating one handed is a pain. So too resting the phone on its side.
