What are /r/essentialphone's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

The Essential PH-1 is the better deal. You'll spend a lot less money and get a phone with every feature the Pixel has. There is no way to lose. You can even flash Magisk mods to trick your Essential into thinking it is a Pixel. That way you get the Pixel launcher and more without spending an extra penny.

Take the money you save and buy prepaid mobile service. You can find deals on Red Pocket Mobile via eBay on https://slickdeals.net/ If you wait until an eBay coupon is available, you can have Verizon or at&t based service on Red Pocket Mobile with unlimited talk/text/data (first 5GB at high speed) for less than $20 per month. $230 phone + $204/year for service is less than the Pixel 3. It is also more capable because it has a year of wireless service.

I use this case

It is more expensive than most other cases but has great protection and feels good in the hand. I should warn you that the case is slippery for the first month though.

The sound is as good as it was with the wired earbuds I paid CAD $50 I was using but they're earbuds so you cannot expect miracles of course. Still for Netflix on the bus and music while mowing the lawn I am 100% satisfied!

I bought those from Amazon Canada: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01N6DC2ZE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_hOMqiFmArKNaD

Looks like it is the same as this on Amazon.com ($25):

I ordered mine on Amazon International last week and was able to get this easily: Essential Phone Screen Protector (PH-1), Skinomi TechSkin Full Coverage Screen Protector for Essential Phone Clear HD Anti-Bubble Film https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074TSW9LF/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_HjoGBb9CPZTES

Ah, tempered glass, I should have read better, sorry.

I haven't seen any cases in stores just yet, I did order this one from Amazon and it's awesome!

You will need these two apps. They should walk you through how to set them up but if you have questions let me know.
