The official case of the Google Pixel 6 has a problem: it tends to turns yellow very quicklyand more and more testimonials from irritated customers are appearing online. As if that wasn’t enough, the rubber casing isn’t even cheap: In the US, it sells for a whopping $30, practically the cost of a charger.
The case should in theory be transparent, in practice it will turn yellow after 5-6 months. The effect is not very pleasant, it seems that the smartphone is very dirty. On Reddit, the first complaints from users date back to last January. The Verge took a feedback loop among its editors, and it turns out that even more than a few editors have commented that things actually tend to deteriorate quickly.
The aesthetic problems can also be delayed, much more serious is that the case also tends to deform and no longer adhere perfectly to the button pattern.
The Verge explains that the problem seems to be widespread in all homes and therefore not just a small batch of defective products. The magazine also mentions that it is a problem that occurs in almost every house of this type and that it depends on the characteristics of the house translucent plastic The fact is that yellowing normally starts after a year of use, while many users claim that the first stains would appear within a few weeks of purchase.
“We haven’t seen a case of such low quality since 2010,” summarizes The Verge. The reference is to the plastic protective covers that were in vogue in those years.
Moral? It might be worth giving up the official Google cases and turning to the many alternatives offered by other companies. They also usually cost a lot less. For the record, the case you see in the photo at the beginning of this news was once pink.
