Starting as of yesterday, and up until June 18, 2017 at 11.59 p.m. PT (or while supplies last), Google is giving away a free case valued at up to $45 CAD with your Pixel XL phone purchase.
This limited time gift is being offered to those who purchase the Pixel XL from Google’s online store. All you have to do is choose what colour phone you want, your desired storage level (32GB or 128GB), and then choose from either a $40 clear case or $45 silicone case before checking out with your purchase. The silicone case comes in a variety of different colours including blue, peach, green, grey, and coral.
The phone itself is quite pricey for many people’s budget, but it is a great device. If you’re still deciding whether or not you’d like to purchase the Pixel XL and want to learn more, check out the full phone specifications below.
