Kind of hard to put a case on a phone when the entire thing slides in half. Makes me think of the terrible hard plastic snap cases made for the sliding keyboard phones of old.
Edited for additional bezel rant: The ridiculous obsession with bezel less phones is now affecting a phones longevity. We already have manufacturers trying to make them as thin as possible, now we hiding things behind MOVING parts? Why? If the screen of my pixel 2 xl where to go to the bottom of each speaker it would gain an addition 9mm of screen height on an already 135mm tall screen, that's a 6.6% increase. 9mm of screen isn't going to do anything for anybody and we don't need our phones that are already becoming more difficult to repair to have yet another place of failure added just to get a tiny screen size increase. Articles and reviews that mention bezels a dozen times aren't helping anything.
