I bought a Pixel 9 Pro, and I normally buy a Spigen TPU case for my Pixels, but the reviews for the Pixel 9 Pro cases are middling, stating they fit poorly because they're designed to fit both a 9 and a 9 Pro. Are there any other good TPU cases out there?

Thinking about getting a replacement for my Pixel 4a since the battery feels like it's starting to go, and probably best to buy a new phone before tariffgeddon starts.

I'm guessing Pixel 8a is the best bang for my buck? I'll have to buy a separate adapter for my wired headphones it looks like, but that's fine.

I got a 9 Pro for my 4a. Verizon offered me $400 off of one when I went to generate a transfer PIN, YMMV.

How much does the Pixel 80% charge cap preserve battery life? Is it worthwhile to do?

I have a pair of Pixel Buds Pro (the OG, not the 2). When using DuoLingo with them, very frequently the first part of the audio on a lot of the questions cuts out, like the first .5-1 second. It's really loving annoying. This doesn't seem to happen when I'm not using the Pixel Buds; is there like a setting I can change, or are these things just pieces of poo poo?

Claire, it's French.

My dumb solution is queue up 10 minutes of silence, a song on spotify. That keeps the bluetooth transmission continuous.

I'll give that a try. I'm kind of surprised DuoLingo doesn't do that automatically to prevent this problem.

Probably Best Buy will have it. They usually do.

I just ordered one through Google Store with a $100 off promo code and they give you a $100 Google store credit. They're giving me $165 for a trade in on my 6a which I got for like $200 after trading in my 4a.

So I'm only paying like $258 or something for the 9a out of pocket and I get that $100 store credit. It's a suspiciously good deal and I really hope it's not because they know the phone is a dud after delaying the release.

I got a Pixel 7 for $100 with a trade-in of a 3XL right when it came out, and it is a good phone.

Sometimes they just offer really good deals.

This seems to be working pretty well, thank you.
