Google's Pixel phones have been among the best Android handsets you can buy for the last couple years, but one area that they've typically fallen flat is with the design department. The first Pixel and Pixel XL looked straight up boring, and while the Pixel 2 series did have a much nicer aesthetic, the odd decision to paint over the aluminum body left it feeling plasticy and a little cheap.
With the Pixel 3 lineup, we have the best-looking Pixel phones to-date. The all-glass body not only looks and feels fantastic, but it's also more functional as it now allows for wireless charging.
We love how Google's latest phones look, but as with any good-looking phone, we must answer the question of whether or not it should be used with a case. Here's what the AC forum community had to say on this one.
No case here and, so far, no scratches. I have the white Pixel 3 XL.

Got a 900.00 Pixel 3 XL. Not running without a case. Bought a spigen neo hybrid off Amazon Got to have some kind of protection for me.

I always use a case for protection and increased ability to hold onto the phone.

I ran without a case for the first couple weeks, then picked up a case for a couple dollars on sale. I didn't intend to use it, but out it on and have not removed it. It added less bulk than expected, so gonna keep it on for a while.

What about you? Are you using the Pixel 3 with a case?
