Top products from r/GooglePixelC

So, just wanted to update this thread. I decided not to purchase the keyboard or folio, just could not justify the cost.

In the end I opted for two solutions (basically to try out): a folio case and the microsoft foldable keyboard and a folio keyboard case. All three ordered from Amazon:

So both set ups are are significantly cheaper than the USD150 cost if bought from Google.

Ironically, since purchasing from the States my laptop has needed to go in for repair, and I thought this would be a good opportunity to test out my new purchases so I could use the Pixel as a laptop replacement.

I've set the folio keyboard as the replacement and also connected a bluetooth mouse. Overall, pretty damn impressed with both the pixel and the keyboard (especially for the price). Now, lets not kid ourselves, I reckon the google folio keyboard would have been much much more better quality, but for the price that I paid for this folio, everything works generally fine.

Lets go through with the negatives first:

• Its chunky (but expect that would be the case with the official one as well)
  
• You can't just push the pixel into it like the official one (which benefits with the magnets)
  
• when it sits, because its held by velcro, the pixel pushes down a tiny bit, so it doesn't sit 100% in position, but doesn't really matter
  
• occasional connection issues with Bluetooth
  
• have to charge separately via micro usb (so no self charging)
  
• no trackpad (but don't think the official one has that as well)
  
• unlike my laptop, due to the size of the cables provided, I can't keep the unit charged all the time
  
  but the positives
  
  
• did i mention the price?
  
• keys are pretty good and solid and clicky
  
• keyboard sits well
  
  As for the other combo (microsoft keyboard and folio), this also works pretty well, have not tested it so much though, but can foresee using it when travelling. Its a bit of a pain to click into the folio, and a shame that it doesn't use magnetic strength of the pixel, but probably a cost issue.
  
  Biggest issue with these third party solutions is that they don't make use of the pixel c's magnets and self charging, or at the very least usb c.
  
  thing is, when I do get my laptop back, don't really know how much I would use the keyboard, unless when travelling.
  
  Yes, I totally agree the official keyboard options are going to be much much better on every level, but still can't justify the price, unless I end up using a keyboard all the time.
  
  I do have photos of the folio keyboard and will upload these later.

Not a sleeve case, but I just picked up one of these, and the tablet section is the perfect fit.

Great for carrying the tablet (with keyboard), charger, and a few odds and ends I like having with me while out in meatspace, like a bottle of water, battery pack for my phone, kindle, etc, without being quite as bulky as a full-on backpack or something.

I use this. It is fantastic. Very protective, great at standing the tablet, fits perfectly, comfortable.

I know you said not a combo but this is a very good non official keyboard.

Since it is multi device, you can use it for your phone too. Really love the slot on top so you can just "dock" your device, no stand needed.

I like this one too but it doesn't have the slot on top so you need a tablet stand

The one you linked is USB, but they make a Bluetooth version, what you want is the Arc Mouse Surface Edition. I've used this for a couple years and it works great. Not the most ergonomic thing but nicer than a flat puck.

My wife has the Amazon Basics 10-inch sleeve, and it's a poor fit. You can't argue with a $4.00 price! Please let us know how well it works.

I have this case for my Asus Flip. It's a little bulky, but works nicely. I may stick with it until I find something more to my liking.

This one seems like it's going to be cheap, but is surprisingly nice looking and well put together.

I've been using it non-stop over a few months and have noticed zero wear.

I preordered this one, Amazon has always been really good to me about returns and refunds but hopefully this one won't suck.

Not sure about the hard-wire connection, but streaming through Chromecast is always an option.

EDIT: For the USB flashdrive, I picked up one of these. It works great and just needs a reformat once you stick it into the device (From a Nexus 6P at least).

I'm probably going to end up going with an iPad case as you suggested, there just aren't many premium sleeves/cases for android devices >:(

In the meantime, I grabbed this

To be honest, it gets the job done better than anything else I've seen, and it's probably more practical than a sleeve.

Screen scratches are an issue for sure, a nice glass screen protector is highly recommended.

I use this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019YVR526

I haven't been able to find anything similar to the smart cover, but I did just receive a case I ordered on Amazon and like it so far.

Saw a thread the other day and decided to buy this one. A bit small but I like it so far. Very easy to connect and use. I have a macbook pro so I use the mouse for both. If you only need it for the tablet maybe you could find a cheaper one. But be careful, since I heard the device won't work with mice using older BT versions, but I could be wrong.

I use this. It's not exactly a kickstand but it's a nice case that doubles as a stand for the tablet.

This sleeve works out nicely for me and it fits perfectly. It's also cheaper than a lot of the other premium sleeves, but is still stylish.

This is one of the better cases for the pixel C:

I really like this strap diagonally on my Pixel C: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SH2SY7O

I will be getting this soon for my solution for extra storage:

Kingston Digital 64GB Data Traveler Micro Duo USB 3C Flash Drive (DTDUO3C/64GB) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010HWCFDA/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_ZSSAwb31VPXV5

Please bear with me - I'm not a total Neanderthal, but I'm far from an expert about this stuff. 192.168.0.1 is telling me B/G/N mixed, 20/40 MHz, channel is set to auto. I have this router which says it has 2x3 MIMO and does not appear to be dual band. Does this help? What else should I look for?

I used this sleeve for over a month (10 inch variant). Its really durable, nice and the pocket lets me keep an adapter, stylus, and usb drive and it adds no thickness. 5/5 stars

This one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VUK4R0S/ref=twister_B00W3OWY96?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

There is with an SD card. However, I don't get the option when I go into the menu on my pixelc. Link to my drive: http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Digital-64GB-Traveler-DTDUO3C/dp/B010HWCFDA?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00. I like it so far. Was about as cheap as any I could find. I will likely lose it at some point, because it is so small.

What are you exactly looking for? Did you reply to the wrong person?

If you're looking for the intelliARMOR tempered glass screen protector, it's $15 on Amazon.
