Review on πŸ“± Pixel 3 XL Moment Case: Enhanced 6ft Drop Protection with Strap Attachment by Richard Mangum

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A decent case, especially if you're buying an ecosystem.

I've only been using the case for a week or two but everything seems fine. As for the case itself, it's probably similar in build quality to the Spigen I used on my previous phone. I've been able to compare it to my dad's rugged Spigen armor he bought for his Pixel 3xl and can tell the case is a bit thicker at the moment but probably not better built or better fitting. If you're certain you won't be buying Moment lenses or ever attaching a strap, there are comparable cases available at a lower price. I'll try to answer some of the more common questions and what I've noticed so far: Moment has a small lip around the screen that is supposed to prevent the screen from making direct contact with the surface if you drop it or lie down face down. There are two places where you can attach a bracelet. They aren't made of the same rubber as the rest of the case, but are made of more durable plastic. It's good. The case isn't exactly non-slip, but feels better in the hand than the phone itself. The edges of the bottom case on the side of the screen are connected with a thin piece of rubber. I feel like I can finally break it. You can see what I mean in my picture of the bottom of the case. Another reviewer called the keys too sharp. I'm not sure I understand what you mean, but in my experience the buttons are pretty good in this case. They don't cling to anything, but stick out so far that you can feel what those buttons are without looking. They also get depressed fairly easily. I've read several reviews of Pixel 2xl Moment Cases and noticed that several people have complained that the buttons are too narrow and difficult to press, allowing the active edge to activate when you try to press the button. I think the buttons on the 3xl case were designed as an answer to these problems. I haven't received the screen protector yet, but I don't expect any problems with it. I will update if there are any installation issues. My pixel 3xl works with my wireless charger with case for now. YMMV.Summary: Pretty good case, but if you're not buying lenses you could probably use a Spigen in terms of protection. That being said, $30 isn't that much. Even if you're unsure about buying a lens, you're not losing that much by pulling the trigger.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Crumpled

Great for lenses, not so great for appearances
