    If I don’t have a case on my Pixel it will literally slide off any surface I place it on. My desk is very nearly level, but if I put it there and look away, next thing I know it’s fallen on the floor.

      That was exactly my point of reference as well lol. Both my Pixel 6 and 8 Pro My Pixel 6 My Pixel 4 would slide off a freaking wooden tabletop that was slightly crooked.

      The Pixel 6 and 8 aren’t as bad because of the massive camera bump. I have had the 8 pro slide off tables as well, but that was also because i positioned it kinda weird. A plastic phone wouldn’t have slipped off though.

      Sorry for all the edits, I forgot how many Pixels I’ve had at this point.
