        hwhere TF is it $349

        all I see is a price where you pay $849 then you get $200 that has to be spent at JB Hi-Fi and you provide $300+ worth of a phone you already owned

        • :/ read it again

        • 849 - 200 - 300 ($1 phone, not $300 phone) = $349

          • @jjj123: Well your phone has to either be ihphone or one of the qualifying trade-in devices

              @Gdsamp: @Gdsamp, read the post, then you will know why you do not need any phone.

  • Google Pixel 8a Case and Tempered Glass Recommendations

    Considering its pre order and no one has it yet, its going to be pretty hard to recommend anything other than the Google sold ones.

    Case
    I'm rolling the dice on one of these (have been using one with similar/same design on my Pixel 4a for years & is holding up just fine), and if I'm not happy with it, at least I'll have one while I look for another (eg. OtterBox React).

    Tempered Glass
    I've ordered 2x of these (Buy 1, get 1 at 50% off).

    • smart

    • How is the Tempered Glass Screen protector going? Any Touch issues?

      • No complaints with it so far.

    These were great on my Pixel 8 Pro (AMFilm) and comes with an install frame as well.

    • Yep, had similar on my last Pixel, was pretty much bomb-proof. Have ordered same for my 8a

  • I've gone with the amFilm screen protector and a Spigen case. No complaints so far.

    • How is the amFilm screen protector going? Any issues? A friend has this on their Google Pixel 8a and after only 2 weeks it is already lifting off?

      • It's been fine and still stuck on firmly.
        Only real issue I've had has been the fingerprint sensor seems hit and miss but that might be more a phone issue going by comments online.

        • Thanks for the update. The amFilm screen protector applied easily. Maybe I'll have to try again and see if it lifts a second time.

  • Optus is selling official cases for $35 which is pretty good compared with the $49 case price at The Google Store and JB HI-FI. Picked up one in store today.

  • I can't post the Optus deal as a bargain due to sock puppeting but it's here

      Telstra also has the Google Pixel 8a case on sale for $35

  • Anyone have any intel on a gel screen protector? I have put a tempered glass one on, it works fine but it is a little on the small side and is triggering my OCD a bit…

  • JB Hi-Fi have the Google Pixel 8a case on sale for $39.99

  • Jtech Tempered Glass available on Amazon is only $11.95 but I am in need of the Panzar Glass one.
