I've bought defendee cases for my Galaxy s3 and s5 but the Pixel feels alot sturdier and it doesn't make the phone feel 10x bigger than it actually has. I haven't dropped it yet but if I do I won't worry cause of how good this case feels when you hold it. Awesome job!
This is the second OtterBox case I've owned. My first phone is still in nearly perfect condition, despite several drops over the course of two years of usage. The plastic cover over the glass face has been a life saver. If you care about your phone, buy this style of case.
I ordered my OtterBox case the moment I ordered my new Pixel. I often drop my phone and I didn't want to risk having it without the best protection possible. I love the color and it keeps my investment safe.
The only complaint I have is that the instructions to open it didn't match my specific case (they're obviously mass printed and just shoved in all boxes). I was able to get into the case after a couple of minutes.
Having broke my Pixel in two places within 3 weeks of purchase, I was bummed out. After paying for my phone to be fixed, I ordered my Otter box to be shipped in conjunction with my repairs, and now I live worry free. Everyone already knows Otter box is top notch.
