I LOVE them.

I remember one particular instance where I was finding some soft classical music to play in the background while I worked. Except that I had left the volume too high (from jamming out to them earlier), and instead of getting to work I closed my eyes. The beautiful clarity and staging that came crashing through completely took me, and I realized after about 10 minutes that I had been sitting there, eyes closed, completely fixed on a concerto. It was delightful.

HOWEVER, I'd bet dollars to donuts that the Sony's are more comfortable. I think it just depends on your priorities. What sold me on the PX's was:

  1. Beauty - I was hesitant about the blue/gold combination when I ordered them, but hugely relieved when I opened them up. They are gorgeous.
  2. Durability - I think both the Bose & Sony's are too plastic-ky for how much they cost. The build quality of the PX's feels fantastic. Plus I was sold when I watched 1:48-2:20 of this YouTube video. They might not fold up as compact as the Sony's or Bose, but try doing that to either one of them.
  3. USB-C - This was more important to me than it it is to probably 99% of the rest of the world (/r/Pixelbook excluded?). I have one charger in my backpack that charges my laptop (Pixelbook), phone (Pixel 2 XL), and headphones (B&W PX). Not only does it charge over USB-C, but it can do audio over both USB-C and 3.5 mm. Super convenient.

I really like the vertical layout sleeve, but I can't tell how bulky it is. At the moment I am looking at some EVA hard case and 360 deg protection cases from Tomtoc instead.

OP. Would something like this be suitable if it were in Pixelbook sizes?

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Case-New-Briefcase-Messenger-13-3-Inch/dp/B01LQ2QNBA



The EVA case that I really can't quite tell if a Pixelbook will fit is this one. It looks like it might be about 7mm not wide enough, which might mean it would fit quite snug if there was some give in the bag. The next size up is too much of a jump and I think the PB would end up slopping around like OP says.

This 13" Neoprene 360 deg protection case that has a few reviews saying that the Pixelbook fits like a glove is this. But it would have a bit more give on the sides and possibly mold more to the shape

Huh. I've never looked for one, but you're right. I'm not coming up with anything, even on Amazon. That's saying a lot considering that I can buy a cat butt tissue holder on there.

Just to think outside the box, what about a USB-C to USB-A male adapter to convert the headphones to a USB-A connection, then use some sort of multi-port hub to connect everything.

I'm also pretty sure you can convert the USB-C monitor to plug into an HDMI port.

Yeah, it's a nightmare living the dongle life at the moment, but with USB-C becoming more common, hopefully, it won't be much longer.

u/Nayre_Trawe · 2 pointsr/PixelBook

I got this one a few months back and I really like it. I only wish I had gotten a different model that supports two external displays since this model only supports one. Otherwise, it works great. I have a monitor, keyboard, speakers and a usb-a drive connected to it and I haven't experienced any issues whatsoever. It connects all of that stuff and charges my Pixelbook through a single usb-c cable.

u/Quiksylva · 2 pointsr/PixelBook

Picked this one up (12.9) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016VZYA5I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_XoXDAbDK93WPW.
Fits ok, there is a tiny bit of space but it doesn't move around. There is also a loop in there to hold the pen, but I don't have a pen so can't comment on the fit.
Quality is just alright...Not amazing, not horrible.

u/msccccc · 1 pointr/PixelBook

I have used this brand on two samsung chromebooks pros that get used by my kids. Looks like they have a pixelbook vesion https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Tempered-Protector-Designed-Pixelbook/dp/B077DWCPY1 They are easy to apply. Just make sure the to install it in a dust free area.

u/jasonbeenjamin · 2 pointsr/PixelBook

I have this Lenovo pen (GX80K32882):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AZC3HF2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It works great with Squid and Google Keep, but I haven't really used it for much else yet. I've read there are a lot of latency issues in certain apps with all pens (including the official one) - there's probably some threads on r/Pixelbook with useful info if you have a specific app you want to use.

u/ConsecteturLorem · 1 pointr/PixelBook

https://www.amazon.com/Evecase-Repellent-Shockproof-Protective-Accessory/dp/B074KQJHB1/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1521843789&sr=8-1&keywords=885157983143

I've used this one for a couple of months and really like it. You can charge your PB while it is in the case by unzipping slightly. Quality is better than I expected and has some actual padding for protection.

I also have my free pen loop attached to the side of my screen and it fits nicely in the case with the pen attached to the side but isn't too big as to feel like the PB swims around inside of it.

u/Cybarrius · 1 pointr/PixelBook

That's an awesome looking case. The loop for the pen and the lock makes it even better. Having space for the cable is a plus too. I might have to buy this as a backup

Current case for me: Tomtoc Ultra Slim 13-13.3 Inch https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HCV22IM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

u/TheWill42 · 2 pointsr/PixelBook

I got this case and it works great for holding the Pixelbook and the pen. I might get the next size up though, it's pretty snug.

Tomtoc Ultra Slim 13 - 13.3 Inch MacBook Air | MacBook Pro Retina 2012-2015 | 12.9" iPad Pro | Surface Laptop Sleeve [Felt & PU Leather] Bag with Accessory Pocket, Support up to 12.8 x 8.94 In https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HCV22IM?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

I've used the Logitech MX Anywhere mouse. It's a great small mouse that has stayed connected for me.

It's also easy to travel with because it's small.

Have you checked into Square Trade?

https://www.amazon.com/SquareTrade-Consumer-Electronics-Protection-1000-1249-99/dp/B001N82KS8/ref=sr_1_1?fst=as%3Aoff&qid=1556645891&refinements=p_89%3ASquareTrade&rnid=2528832011&s=pc&sr=1-1

Extended coverage is extremely important for Pixelbooks. If you can't add the coverage now, I would encourage you to consider returning it yourself and then re-purchasing it with additional coverage, or do whatever is needed to end up with proper coverage.

I would also strongly encourage you to return it to Amazon - they are just about the worst vendor for Pixelbooks. Your mom should understand.

u/Rastuasi · 1 pointr/PixelBook

I use the Bellroy clip and this sleeve, tis perfect!

You should have no issues at all. I just picked up the USB-C SSD below and it works perfectly with my PixelBook.

The only thing is that the file managers won't show the drive until you give them access to the drive. The same is true for any external disk.

u/nt4cats-reddit · 3 pointsr/PixelBook

/u/StillMind2010 's link didn't work for me, but here is the link for probably the same product from my Amazon purchase history.

Here is what to look for: It has to support USB PD. It has to have a high output wattage (30W is good, the wall charger that comes with the Pixelbook is 45W). Multiply the Volts x Amps to get the Watts -- this battery will do 15V at 2A or 20V at 1.5A.

u/maexxx · 1 pointr/PixelBook

I am using these add-ons with my Pixelbook; they all work well:

USB-C Hub: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07DC52RX6

4-Ports 72W USB-C Power Supply: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07BR6ZSCP

USB-C to USB-A Adapters (for travelling): https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07BW8FX44

Slim Sleeve Case: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07BT4WJ55

​

I haven't tested the Hub with a 4k display, I have a 1080p screen only. According to the spec it should support 4k.

There are cheaper , but the tips are too short and will scratch things. Also when you install windows on your Pixelbook this one's button becomes useful!

This one does not have a female USB-C port on it (just in case you need that), but I can confirm USB and micro-SD working as expected. I have not used the HDMI port yet, but can confirm later once I do. So far though I'm pleased with this one, especially for the price!

u/Nawlo · 1 pointr/PixelBook

I have used various Plugable(R) docks and they all worked great. However they are only 4k@30hz. This is the one on my desk right now.

u/UUBBBRR · 2 pointsr/PixelBook

I got tired of waiting and ordered this one. The Pixelbook fits perfectly, not loose but not overly snug. It actually seems to give some drop protection too.

u/puppyyawn · 1 pointr/PixelBook

If you're going to pay that cost, you should go with.....

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LRQDAEI/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It is bigger but you can charge more things at once. I've used this on my C302, it charges faster than the actual cord that came with it. I just bought a Pixelbook, so I'm all set.
