the Pixel 8 Carveit case is beautiful, but...
These cases are beautiful and I would love to have many of them. But they don’t offer as much protection as many other cases. There isn’t much protection for the camera especially. They provide a sticker to place over the camera area to prevent scratches. I stuck this on because I was afraid I would need it.
This was a mistake, because the clear camera sticker promptly shattered and made the wonderful Pixel camera useless. And the I couldn’t remove the stupid thing. In the interest of throwing up searchable info and increasing the value of Lemmy, here is how I was able to save my Pixel.
I bought Goo Gone, actually the automotive version because that was all I could find. It said not to use it on faux stainless steel and I wasn’t sure of what the camera bump was made. Anyway. I sprayed a little in a bowl and worked it into the cracks of the sticker with a q-tip. Then I pulled off the pieces with tweezers. Worked like a charm and saved the phone!
I would get another of these gorgeous cases, but I would not do the camera sticker again.
