Woke up on Monday and my Pixel 6 Pro wasnt quite fitting in the case while i was checking news while having coffee on the morning. Pushed it in and it didnt seem to fit right. Took the case off to find it had turned itself into a spicy pillow and was splitting along the side. Was 1 month inside warranty, messaged support who told me it was wear and tear initially. I made it quite clear i wasnt accepting that and there wasnt even any way that internal adhesive failing would be wear and tear, never mind battery expansion. They agreed to replace it with a refurb as a goodwill gesture, how very nice of them. I upgraded the same day to a S23 Ultra and have sold the refurb to a reseller.

It was 23 months old, last month of warranty thankfully. Couple of weeks later and it would have been a total loss. I pretty much exclusively wireless charged during which i noticed it would sometimes get very warm. Ironically the primary method of charging being wireless was at least in part to prevent damage to the port with repeated cable insertion.

Just seen too many devices get wear on the cable port from repeated insertion eventually leading to dry solder joints / poor connections, which obviously is eliminated by wireless. Especially as i tend to keep devices vertical on desk and bedside for seeing notifications, so upright chargers would be held in place by the cable port.
