Good if you like thin cases
It really is a thing case magnet is not in the right spot and it's week.

case itself is fine, but magnets are placed incorrectly, so not worth the price
**update**Sellers confirmed in Amazon messages that magnets are incorrectly placed in all their 8 Pro cases, so every 8 Pro case from them will interfere with proper magnetic charging. It'll still charge, but not as intended (slower and hotter) and with increase wear to your battery.Knocking down two stars because the magnet location is actually interfering with proper induction charging. No issues using my other magsafe case or the bare phone, but with this case on the magnet interferes due to misplaced magnets. You can see the printed outline on the inside of the case has the correct location (compare to my other case with magnets in correct location based on tear down video and images) but the actual magnet ring itself is embedded ~1cm too high. You can see in my other image where a metal adapter ring actually locks into place, it's clearly higher than where the charging coils of the phone are, and higher than the print on the inside.Using a magsafe charger, it charges slower (5-6 watts) and much hotter (~42°C at the charger, and 34°C battery according to device sensor) than with my case with correct magnet position (36°C at the charger, 28°C battery, and 8+ watts speed) What makes it even more frustrating is that despite knowing exactly where the magnets are supposed to be, they still embedded the magnets in the wrong place, hence the 2 star deduction.******for those wondering about the long hole cutout at the top, it's for the mm wave antenna, but although blazingly fast, can be completely blocked by something as ridiculous as a piece of paper or fog, etc. So, the hole is there for a reason, but the mm wave thing itself is basically useless**tl;dr review:Pros:Perfect fit and cut outsGood camera protectionMagSafe connection is strong with my walletsWorks with wireless chargingGreat "rubberized" texture, feels secure in handAbsolutely no bulk, feels better than the naked phone due to aboveCons:Minimal screen side lip/protectionCan't get the dang thing off, afraid I'll break it trying.There were no reviews for this case when I bought it, and Amazon bungled the original order/shipment so it took a while to get, but I'm super happy with this case! As you can see from the pictures, the fit and cut outs are perfect; everything is aligned and there is absolutely no play/wiggle to any of the sides. Power and volume rocker are accessible via a cut away, vs cutouts, so buttons are easy to access.The camera is surrounded by a decent lip/bump of ~1mm +. On the screen side, the top and bottom edges of the phone have a very slight lip, ~0.5mm, a tiny bit higher at the corners (one picture with bubble level sitting at the corners/edge, other image with level sitting in the middle - showing the gap between the lip and the screen). As far as I can tell, the long sides of the case are flush to the screen. This is one of the only areas of concern I have with this case (and all aramid cases, as they all seem to lack much screen lip/protection).You can see in my pictures that the material is thicker for the camera surround, like it's been doubled up/reinforced. This case would be PERFECT if they did the same at the corners on the screen side and made them bump out a full millimeter like they did with the camera.It'll probably do fine with drops on smooth surfaces like tile, hardwood, smooth concrete, but not sure how it'll do with a screen side drop on rougher surfaces like a normal road with larger aggregate, but that's what normal, bulkier cases are for I suppose.The built in magnets seem plenty strong; my compatible wallets attach securely without any slippage. Induction charging works without issue.. Not sure how magsafe chargers will fare as I don't own any, but the magnet ring center is ~0.5 cm higher than the center of the phone's coils, but should be close enough.The finish is a just slightly grippy ”rubberized" feel. It isn't tacky or rubbery, and doesn't hold lint like silicone, but provides a nice, secure grip. It's basically better than the naked phone since there's almost no bulk but better grip.The only other minor issue is that I can't seem to get the case off (I guess it could be a plus since the phone won't even budge when dropped let alone pop out). I've applied a good amount of force to try to remove it at the corners but I can't seem to get it to pop off, and I don't wan to try any harder for fear of cracking the case.Not a huge issue right now, but I'll want to switch to my other case with better protection when I go hiking or do something where I need something more rugged.I wish it came with a tempered glass or TPU screen protector, like some other aramid case brands at the price point, but the addition of MagSafe compatibility makes up for it (don't know of any other brand selling full aramid fiber cases with MagSafe right now).All in all, 4.5/5, and would be a perfect 5 if it could have a bit more lip around the screen/corners

Charging Ring Doesn't Line Up with Phone
I purchased this case because I liked the thickness and the carbon fiber material. However, the charging rings on the case do not line up with the charging rings on my Pixel 8Pro. Since the rings don't line up when on my magnetic charger (magsafe compatible), my phone won't charge. Since I threw away the packaging, I can't even return it. I'm very disappointed because the case is expensive compared to tpu cases.

Sweet case!
This case is awesome. No issues with the magnet alignment for me. Love the 600D aramid fiber. Super slim! Gives the feeling of no case while still providing the typical aramid fiber grip.

Good thin case, but not compatible with wireless charger
Case is very thin, and fits well, but it does not charge on any of the wireless chargers I have, including the Pixel Stand. Magnet is barely strong enough to hold onto an older magnetic car mount (not a magsafe mount)

Good but flawed
To start off with the good, it's a beautiful case, has mag safe and is very thin. It feels like there is no case at all which is great. It seems like it would hold up well on minor drops and daily scuffs and things like that. I think it might not hold up quite so well if you were dropping your phone like 6 feet or something but that's probably par for the course on these thin cases. Mag safe is a big plus (another review mentions that it interferes with charging but I don't use mag safe charging so I can't tell, I wanted mag safe for pop socket and at least for that the magnet is super strong)On the downside it is a bit expensive and (like the other review) I also have no idea how to get the darn thing off my phone.

Very stiff
Decent case. The fit is very tight. It's a very, very slim case. A bit difficult to put on and take off. I guess that's the nature of carbon fiber (if it's actual carbon fiber). The magsafe ring held well on my charger while driving. As you can see in the pic, there are no button covers, onl.y a huge cutout for the button cluster. . This is an issue for me. I had trouble with my previous phen's buttons getting stuck because something from my fingers transferred to the case and then to the phone's buttons. Google considered this "liquid damage" and wouldn't cover the repair. I always look for cases with sealed button covers now.

Dupkev carbon case for pixel 8 pro
It's really hard to find a carbon/aramid case for the pixel 8 pro with magsafe built in... despite the reviews I read before purchasing, I had high hopes. The magnetic ring does not align with the coil. With this case my phone will not wirelessly charge with the pixel stand 2nd gen nor my bulletpoint magsafe car charger. Big sad.
