I'm in the US and don't know much about other AC power sources, but I can try to point you in the right direction. Here's an example of an ideal one that I'd buy myself if I needed another charger:
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Premium-Charger-PowerPort-Delivery/dp/B01D8C6ULO
You're looking for that top port that says "USB PD" - they don't all say that, but if you look around on spec sheets you should find something to that effect. For the specs, you also want to see 9v / 3A if you want quick charge capacity. If it goes to higher voltages that nice but your phone won't use it. Ignore Qualcomm QuickCharge or QC stuff, except if it's QC4+. Anything QC4 and below is not compliant with USB-PD and Essential did not go the Qualcomm route. QC4+ is Qualcomm's latest standard and claims to incorporate all the requirements of USB-PD as well.
Bonus points: In the Q&A there's a note from Benson Leung, a Google engineer that tests the shit out of various chargers and cables. If it gets his stamp of approval then it's for 100% sure a safe and quality charger or cable to buy.
TLDR: If you can find the thing in the link with your country's AC plug you're all set. Beware cheap imitations because they can burn out your phone in extreme circumstances. Fast charging is more complex than the run-of-the-mill cheap USB chargers we've grown used to.
edit: I looked some more and the comments and reviews say it works internationally, and that looks like a standard AC cable so you should be able to swap it out for one of yours and plug it right in. I'd do some more reading but that looks like a good bet.
I have tried the TUDIA TAMM TPU Bumper Shock Absorption Cover in Black and am currently using the Incipio NGP Pure Case in Clear.
The TUDIA one is provides a better grip, and it's slightly thicker. The TUDIA one may provide better drop protection, but I'm mostly basing that on the fact that the case is more rigid when it's off and it's slightly thicker. The Incipio one is rated to protect from 3-foot drops. I have read a couple reports about the Incipio NGP case having mushy buttons, but I actually like the way the buttons feel, even more so with the case on than off, in fact.
Another popular case is the Viva Madrid Metalico Flex Clear Back Case. I haven't used it, but based on reports I have read, the case isn't perfect and the Incipio NGP is a better one.
If you want a heavy-duty case, similar to Otterox, check out the (Incipio DualPro)[https://www.incipio.com/cases/smartphone-cases/essential-cases-covers/essential-cases/dualpro-essential-case.html]. I originally ordered that, but decided to cancel the order because I wanted a clear case so I can see the phone in all its glory. One thing to note with clear cases is that they may turn yellowish over time; I don't know if that's the case for Incipio cases, but that's somewhat typical of clear cases in general.
If you purchase any Incipio cases from Incipio.com, use code INCAFF for 15% off.
Iv'e come to accept that there isn't any good one. The phone has a slight curve which makes it difficult to make a glass protector that matches it. There are two kinds of protectors you can get, one with adhesive which covers all of the protector, but this has the issue where the edges eventually peel up and allow air in because of the curve, and the other which only has adhesive on the edges to prevent this from happening.
With the second type of protector, the small amount of adhesive usually means it can come off easy. I had this one which popped right off after a relatively small fall (maybe 1-2 foot drop). After this, the adhesive was ruined and didn't stick properly which was a good $40 wasted. These screen protectors also have the issue with Newton rings. The effect wasn't as noticable with the screen on and medium brightness, but did become more noticeable in lower light which was annoying for me.
Also, with basically all glass screen protectors, it makes the phone less compatible with cases. I am using this case which worked well with the screen protector I linked above, but your results may vary depending on which case and protector you have. I had to get the alignment PERFECT for it not to be an issue, otherwise the case would push on the edge of the protector and lift the adhesive.
The only screen protector I seen with decent reviews is the IQ Shield LiQuidSkin. However this is not glass as you wanted. I personally have not tried this one but there is a review about it and it looks pretty nice.
I just decided to use this phone with a case only and no screen protector as the screen is pretty tough on it's own. Iv'e been using mine for two months now and still no scratches. When I put the phone in my pocket, the screen is always facing my leg to reduce chances of dinging the screen on a corner of a desk or something. I dropped it only once (the same drop I mentioned above) and no scratches either, however it did land on it's side and then fell on it's back. For a phone that I will only keep for the next 1-2 years, I'm fine without a protector as it has proven it's strength to me and I feel it will last through my desired time frame.
You need to cover the phone in those dry silica packets, leave it off and unplugged and hope 24 hours drying in something to absorb the moisture is enough to save the phone.
The battery not holding a charge could be moisture shorting the battery out or corrosion breaking the connection between the phone and battery. It doesn't take long for corrosion to start forming and if there is corrosion, then you're SOL. Same problem could be with the screen or any other component in the phone.
In the future, make sure you either leave your phone behind or put it in a dry bag. Last summer, I went down a river with some very tiny rapids with family. I stuck my phone in something like this: https://www.amazon.com/ProCase-Universal-Waterproof-Cellphone-Underwater/dp/B07PSL27VY/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=waterproof+case+phone&qid=1566242954&s=gateway&sr=8-9 - I can't remember what brand/model mine is, but it's similar to this. My mother in-law hit a rock the wrong way and started to spin, then hit another sideways and tipped over. Without thinking twice, I beached and jumped in to help bring her to safety. My PH-1 was around my neck and still in the dry bag, probably was under water for nearly 30 min, maybe less. Not a drop on the phone, all was good.
Just, if you get a dry bag, always test it before using it. They do tend to develop leaks. So stick a paper towel or something inside, then submerge it in a sink, bath, bucket of water, something to test it. Weigh it down if you have to. Leave it there for 30 min and then see if the paper towel inside stayed dry. If it did, you know you have at least 30 min (or however long you test it for) to keep your phone safe under water.
That one incident inspired me to get another dry bag for my nice point and shoot and I'm getting another eventually for my DSLR.
I'm using the Tudia SKN (clear, to show off the white phone) and I quite like it. Good grip and it's at least helped a couple of waist high drops onto tile. My neighbor has a Poetic Guardian, which is quite nice as long as you are okay with a charger flap and integral plastic screen protector. The new Karbon also looks good.
For chargers, this is on my list: Anker PD
I am a big Anker fan for accessories and this seems to be well regarded.
Finally, I would suggest finding a GCam port and install. I am using arnova v7 beta 9 with good results. I still find it better than the stock in most lighting conditions, especially in low light. I mostly use the Essential camera app for monochrome and portrait mode.
About the gesture, like @dirty-bot said, Android Pi has a similar navigation bar thingy, and it shares some similarity with the iPhone X expreience, but again, not as smooth in my opinion. I did find Nova launcher provide a lot of good gestures and customizations (with is the main advantage of Android while you cannot change anything except the wallpaper on iOS lol)
I spend days researching a case and bought this: Essential Phone Case, Incipio Essential PH-1 Case NGP Pure Shockproof Ultra Thin Slim Clear TPU Polymer Shock-Absorbing Cover - Clear https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076H16TWP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_gUuQBbPF20XTA
I was the Apple Case kind of guy and I cannot say this is anywhere near the feeling of a Apple Case, however it offers decent protection and does not look so bad on my white essential phone.
Just Pebble Steel. The old 2014 model. Great watch, nice clear and easy to see screen with very good built quality, just like Essential.
This one here https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IVX0XGO/
I bought it new 15 days ago for around 82€ (shipping included to Greece).
It's rare to find it new anywhere else at reasonably price than Amazon.
Best options I could find (in order of best quality to worst quality in my opinion):
Anker USB Type-C Premium 5-Port 60W USB Wall Charger PowerPort+ 5 USB-C with Power Delivery
$33 after Coupon: BESTPD55
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D8C6ULO
Monoprice Obsidian Series USB Type-C Wall Charger 45W
$17
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B078TPFKZ6
USB C Charger, CHOETECH 18W Power Delivery Type-C Wall Charger
$15
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B071SHKFRB
Honestly, if I were you, I'd get either the Anker or the Monoprice, depending on your specific needs. I own the Anker and love it, but it's a bit large for traveling. I've had my eye on the Monoprice but it's been at $21 (which for a 45W charger is still cheap!). I only found the $17 price today thanks to compiling this response for you and actually ordered two for myself. It doubles as being quite sufficient for most laptops that charge via USB Type-C, which is awesome!
I've got this Tudia case. In black, it's not as garish as in the photo. I normally dislike cases and my last few phones have all been caseless. The EP is just so ridiculously slippery that I'm pretty sure I'll drop it. I might decide to use a skin instead of a case, but if I'm ruining the look of the phone then maybe I might as well have it protected with a full case.
Pros:
Cons:
I've got the this Tudia case and it's pretty great. Doesn't add much to the profile of the phone, easy to take on and off and looks pretty slick. Also survived a few drops so far hahah.
I'm happy with the Tudia case. It looks much better in person than in the photos...doesn't look as gaudy. The nubby texture on the sides is great and the fit is as good as I've seen a TPU case on any phone. I don't use screen protectors on this phone or any phone.
https://www.amazon.com/Essential-TUDIA-Carbon-Lightweight-Absorption/dp/B0762F2T19/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1510241397&sr=8-1&keywords=tudia+essential+ph-1
I just got a Tudia case yesterday. So far I like it. It's a very well made case, with the cutouts perfect and effective. Not a huge fan of the design elements, but whatever. It makes me feel much more comfortable, since the phone is so slippery without it. My only problem (which would be true of any case) is that the ridge around the screen compounds the pre-existing edge detection issues, so that's annoying. Hoping a future update from Essential fixes that however.
I found this one on amazon.com, which even after international shipping and currency conversion is still cheaper than the same ones on Amazon.ca. I'm not sure about the reviews though, the older ones aren't good, but the newer ones say they've apparently gotten better. I'm debating just ordering it and hoping for the best.
4: The Tudia TAMM case is excellent. I've also been pretty happy with this screen protector -- it bubbles up very slightly at the edges with the TAMM on, but it's great otherwise.
I like it, however, I would like to see a back cover on bottom half to 2/3. Why? Because I have several of these:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PGJWYJ0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
​
And it comes with a metal plate you place between your phone and case so the phone stays in place. It looks awesome in the car because there's nothing obscuring the phone. It looks like it's floating.
​
I'm using this case with this screen protector. The case won't be your thing according to your description, but it has a good grip and it does its job. We can't really use tempered glass screen protectors, so the skinomi is one of the better liquid install protectors. Make sure to follow the installation instructions and let it cure overnight if you go with it.
I'm a little late, but the Tudia TAMM has worked great for me. Matte, no cutouts, does have some patterns on the side for grip and the top/bottom for...coolness I guess. Protected my phone when it fell from like stomach height off my bed onto tile. Link if you wanna check it out: https://www.amazon.com/Essential-TUDIA-Carbon-Lightweight-Absorption/dp/B0762F2T19
This case has been really good for me. Increases the grip in hand and on surfaces. It's not too bulky and feels like it'll provide good protection against drops.
https://www.amazon.com/Essential-TUDIA-Carbon-Lightweight-Absorption/dp/B0762F2T19/ref=sr_1_3?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1511499544&sr=1-3&keywords=essential+phone+case
I've been very happy with this TUDIA bumper.
https://www.amazon.com/Essential-TUDIA-Carbon-Lightweight-Absorption/dp/B0762J5SRW/
I've dropped my phone a number of times on a hardwood floor too. I think the case looks good and i feel better than i did for the 2-3 weeks i had the phone without a case constantly worrying i would drop it
I recently ordered this and replaced the battery and screen on my two year old PH-1. Great part, came with the adhesive strips and tools. I've had great performance out of it so far. These batteries are just getting old, plus Android 10 isn't helping matters.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TBCTSQ1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Good point. That could be it. I'll have to pay attention to that (If I can!).
The buttons don't seem to stick, but they are firm and responsive (no travel distance). For reference, I have one of these;
The flexible inside layer includes the buttons and it is towards the stiff end of flexible.
I have these three cases:
TUDIA LULA
TUDIA GLOST
Unbranded TPU
I have defaulted to the TUDIA LULA for everyday use since I prefer slimmer cases. The camera cutout sucks and the case is pretty fragile overall (I'm on my third), but it's really the only super-slim/minimal option.
I use the TPU one from time to time when I am in situations where there is a higher probability of drops. This one is relatively slim and seems to offer pretty good protection. The cut-outs on this one aren't perfect.
The phone feels the largest when I have the TUDIA GLOST on it. I rarely use it, but sometimes put it on for formal occasions.
This one may work for you. It does add a little bit of bulk but its the one I have on my phone now. The rubber bumpers on the bottom do move back some so you can plug in accessories if they wont plug in with it closed. Also the black color will turn to white along the edges as it gets rubbed up against different surfaces but it does a great job of protecting the phone as the phone itself doesn't have a scratch on it. There is even room if you want to add a screen protector but as this case protects the front including the screen itself I chose not to add one. Here is the link to the case if you wanted to check it out https://www.amazon.com/Miubox-Anti-Scratch-Non-fingerprint-Comfortable-Protective/dp/B078TF2SN9
I got this screen protector: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B077XT5V7Z?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd
and this case: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0762F2T19?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd
They fit perfectly together and haven't had any issues with either.
Nathan K.'s got a reprint from another reviewer named Hanpen, who tested a later version of the Anker PowerPort Speed 1. Basically, the second version fixed the issues found in the first. So, it's not APPROVED approved, but signs are good. Of course, if you purchase this online, you may be shipped the earlier version, so just be ready to return the product if that happens.
I got this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076BQB96R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_LXhNAb56KHYTF and I absolutely love it. The texture is just wonderful. Warning, it's pricey.
Here you go, but I wouldn't recommend it even though it looks like a good value. The sides don't adhere because of the slight curve.
I think I'll have to settle for a wet install one like everyone else. I just hate the sticky orange peel texture they have.
Honestly, the IQ Shield film is the best option.
No bubbles, crystal clear edge to edge and does not peel off in and out of the pocket. No case. Preserves the pure feel of the phone.
This one
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GKSPMCQ
Works for me under Pie, but there's some AR problems. Fiddling with SecondScreen improves it somewhat.
Haven't tried under Oreo. It could be perfect.
Thank for all the info, I bought a case which I will have before the phone (thanks amazon this is the case I got https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C4YVM6V/ref=twister_B07C4SSVHF?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 cause I am thinking of getting the 360 camera. I plan to do those adjustments that you listed. Thank you!
There are no perfect glass protector because of the curved screen. I used this https://www.amazon.com/Orzero-Essential-Tempered-Protector-Replacement/dp/B077XT5V7Z
And loca glue https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00GY4LL3G/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and it's almost perfect.
Check YouTube how they do it on Galaxy S8 screen.
I got the Orzero 3 pack. The first one I put on peeled off within a couple days, when I contacted their support they told me to make sure and hold pressure on it so the adhesive could set properly. Then they gave me a refund, let me keep the rest. I did what they said, applied the protector, then flipped it screen down and applied even pressure along all the edges on a flat surface for a minute or so, and it's worked perfectly so far.
I have been using this one for the past 6 months and I'm extremely pleased with it. Fits perfectly, doesn't interfere with the screen & is slim and just smooth enough to slide in/out of pocket with minimal resistance.

The 2 stores by me don't have any cases or screen protectors.
There are only 3 cases I can find right now.
These are the only ones I could find last night that are made specifically for the essential phone.
dbrand makes some skins which should help with the slipperiness if you don't particularly care about edge protection from a case.

Just bought this one and I really love it, worth it!
Amazon mark the price back to $29.99 and i haven't purchased it .. LOL

I had the same exact problem--I also have a VW Golf. I bought this cable and it works like a charm: Anker PowerLine USB C to USB 3.0 Cable (3ft) with 56k Ohm Pull-up Resistor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A6F3WHG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_ELuQRDeHM44vi
If you like a thin case like me, Trudia does have one with a good cutout for the camera. Took it skiing last winter and got some good shots. It's not going to protect from major falls, but I've gotten far fewer small scratches on the screen with it on.
I have that one. Case is bulky but I imagine is effective. I went to the Tudia Lula 2.0 for slimline.

Yes, i ordered one that works 100% off Amazon for $16.99 and it includes a c-type charger port and USB-A Port...

J&D matte film shield. They give you 8 for pretty cheap. It took me 4 times to get it just right but I didn't mind because they were cheap. No bubbles or halo and install is not too bad if you follow directions. Can't speak as to how protective they are but in my experience with most screen protectors is that there isn't much difference. I'm expecting it to protect from scratches not drops (that's what cases are for).
[8-Pack] Essential PH-1... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073ZBFDM3?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
Works with tudia Tamm case and I would assume it works with most others cause it doesn't over reach the screen at all
Darn it. I would buy but it doesn't work with my nice Tudia Case :(.
I've dropped this phone enough times to know not to take it off.

This one is very equivalent to an otterbox and adds ample protection. The raised corners really help protection by adding shock absorption. The two pieces of hard plastic clip together nicely and landing face down would dissipate energy from the hard plastic, a bit of absorption by the rubber, and then mostly through the back plastic.

People consider this a good case. I don't have it though so I can't tell you.
I think we're going to be out of luck in the tempered glass department due to the curves on the edges. I ordered https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0751MV6LK and this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073ZBFDM3 - haven't received either yet.
So I have a 2018 Impreza, AA never worked, bought this, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A6F3WHG?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
And it connects instantly. Hope this helps.

Is this the case that everyone is talking about that works for sure with the 360 camera?

I'm using the Skinomi one. As long as you install it right and don't mind the "orange peel" effect, it's great. Apparently Skinomi will send you another if you mess up installation the first time around.

I have an Incipio DualPro. Does the deed. First time ever i have bought a case (10 yrs of smartphones, 20 if you count all cellphones) because this thing is damn slippery. I usually rough it and somehow have managed to not scratch or crack a phone yet but this one i knew out of the box that it was going to be like holding wet soap.

Should be. Never messed with one tho. I hardly have an excuse for a power bank
This is the charger I got https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y427WT7/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_PN-nDbS6MMY6Q
$11 isn't bad, they had a 10% off coupon code you add to your cart when I got mine because I guess people were pretty upset with the first one. I think paid $9 or $10 for mine.

Tudia Carbon
This is what I use
Although it has a lot of added texture and is not nearly as minimalist looking as the Arch S design, the TUDIA Tamm is a matte TPU case for the Essential Phone : https://www.amazon.com/Essential-TUDIA-Carbon-Lightweight-Absorption/dp/B0762F2T19
At this point we don't have any plans to make Arch S for the Essential Phone, but if there was enough interest... who knows!

This is the exact one that I was commenting on when I said that the construction is bad. I have read multiple reviews for this one saying that a scratch appears down by the USB-C port and some saying they just fall apart.
