generally after you get your phone and you get yourself a screen protector for your phone
the next thing that you look at is a case for your phone unless you are one of the people who just
naked carries your phone in my case my wife got used to carrying her older phone without a case
since it was easier to clean in the pandemic but considering that she got a brand new phone
we wanted to make sure that she had a case for it hello i am wonder001 and this is my review of the
spigen liquid air case for the google pixel 4 a5g it is a minimalist case meaning that the case just
covers the back and a little bit around the sides it's not a multi-layer case it's a single layer
case i will admit that spigen has definitely gone to a minimalist design for their actual packaging
of the case compared to my old speaking case that i had what we're going to do is we're just going
to take our pixel 4 5g put it out frame there and talk about the actual spigen case here the case
itself is made up of a tpu material so that is thermoplastic polyurethane all you need to know
is think of it as it's a rubbery plastic material so you will have a decent amount of flexing
but it does not collect dust as much as a true rubber case would to add
to the protection that you're getting there are these air cushion pockets
they call them up in the corners and there you go you can kind of see one right there
that is in all four corners meaning that if it hits that little pocket of air will help to absorb
the impact of your phone you will notice that you have cutouts here in the back
for your finger because we want that id right there your camera accessory area up at the top
for your 3.5 millimeter jack and your microphone and at the bottom for your speaker and your usb
over on the side here you have your power and your volume rocker you will notice that these do not
offer full coverage as you can see my table coming in through behind those i will admit that does
mean that dust will get in there a little easier however it also means that these buttons are much
easier to depress than you would get on something like an otterbox on the back here you can see
you have a nice textured backing here which gives it a nice look but also it helps and
adds to gripping you can see because you also have that on the side and way down there at the bottom
you've got a little spigen branding and we'll take it to the top where you see there is no
actual texturing there so it's only on the sides in the back the one thing with the case here i
will admit it is that it only comes in black so if you like color cases that might be a problem
for you come around to the inside here what we're going to do is we're going to take our pixel and
we're going to put it in there now part of the reason that i wanted to get a case for this phone
in particular is if we come around to the back there you can see that the camera bump is quite
noticeable so what we do easiest way i've found is just start at the top and it just kind of slips in
so there you go and look the camera bump is now safely housed behind our case the fingerprint i
will admit it has a nice recessed channel that just kind of leads you right to the fingerprint
scanner so that's great up at the top you will notice that it does have a nice wide cutout for
your 3.5 so you can get a standard straight up and down or an l-shape and have no problems there's
our microphone at the bottom nice wide cutout for the usbc and our mic and speaker right there so
you're not going to have any problems again the only thing that i say with these types of cases
are that i wish that they had port covers especially for the charger i had a pixel 2
case that didn't have a port cover and two years into it i definitely had to clean
out a lot of lint in there not a problem but here you see it does not add a lot of
girth to the phone itself which is nice so it keeps it nice and thin so that you still
have your slim pixel phone and here you know clicky perfectly fine everything looks nice and
the beauty of this type of case is they're really easy to get off too you can just
kind of start down there peel your corners and doing this around a camera not the easiest but
peel your corners there you go comes right out and the phone's starting up
and we'll stick it back in here one more time so there
nice and quick and easy realistically if you're looking for a nice minimalist case that
will protect your phone spigen's
liquid air case here might be what you're looking for one other thing to consider
on the front you'll notice that i do have a zag and visit shield screen protector on here
and this does not disturb it in any way shape or form it comes up around the corners very nicely
but the beauty of this is they're not high enough to prevent me from swiping because there are some
cases where you hit the side and that big lip stops you dead in your tracks but what this means
is if i put the phone down the phone is raised enough that the screen is not directly touching
the surface likewise if i do this the camera array on the back is not directly touching the
surface so that is always why i like putting a case on especially if you have a protruding
camera array so you can see all around it's got a lip but it's not a terrible lip
and swiping very nice i i really am not going to lie like the texture the textured backing does
help especially if you have kind of sweatier hands and you need something to help grip so for those
looking for this type of minimalist case design how much is this going to cost you well that's the
other beauty of it since this is only really just a single layer case that you put on your phone
it's only going to set you back 15 i've had other spigen products in the past and i will admit
they do hold up very nicely so if you're looking for a minimalist protective case for your pixel 4
5g i would highly recommend checking out the spigen liquid air case again if you can deal
with the fact that it only comes in one color for the price it is well worth it again look
you have that nice channel into your fingerprint and then your camera array is protected because
it's recessed behind the case but you'll also see just how close the case cutout comes to the camera
array so you're not left with a giant gap which i really appreciate with that being said i have been
