FWIW, I use a Pixel 8 with an aramid fiber case (Thinborne), and it's pretty much a strict upgrade over the Pixel 5. Only real downside is that it's ~1.6mm thicker than a caseless Pixel 5, but on the other hand the added protection of a case comes in handy.
- spondylosaurus 2y agoDoes the case make the candybar-style camera feel less bulky? I'm in the market for a new phone, and the Pixel form factor is really nice, but the protruding camera makes me hesitate.
- buu700 2y agoI personally don't mind the candybar-style camera and think it looks kind of cool. It's definitely not something I actively notice or think about while using the device, and I like that when I set the phone down the entire screen is tilted slightly upwards rather than just one corner. Having said that, if the camera bar is an issue for you, the case wouldn't make a difference one way another. There are cases that are flush with the camera bar to mask the protrusion, but those obviously extend the total thickness to be at least as thick as the section of the device with the camera bar, whereas the aramid cases are more like a few sheets of standard office paper.
