Quick answer
The SlimLink GNAR Case for Pixel combines rugged drop protection with the convenience of SlimLink and MagSafe compatibility, making it a solid choice for daily use and outdoor adventures.
Why choose the GNAR Case for everyday carry?
The GNAR Case stands out for its rugged build without adding excessive bulk. It integrates Peak Design's SlimLink system, which means you can attach it to bike mounts, tripods, or crossbody straps instantly. For Pixel users who prioritize both protection and quick mounting, this case offers a rare balance.
One trade-off: the rugged texture and slightly thicker profile may not appeal to those who prefer ultra-slim cases. However, the added grip and corner protection make it ideal for active lifestyles.
How to set up and use your GNAR Case daily
- Install the case properly: Snap the case onto your Pixel phone starting from the top corners, then press down around the edges until it clicks into place. Ensure the buttons align correctly. A common mistake is forcing the case on from one side, which can misalign the cutouts. Check all ports and buttons after installation.
- Attach to a SlimLink mount: Align the SlimLink magnet on the back of the case with the mount's locking mechanism. Push until you hear a click. For MagSafe accessories, simply bring them close—they will snap into place. If the mount feels loose, recheck alignment. The SlimLink system locks securely only when fully engaged.
- Use with a crossbody strap for hands-free carry: Slide the SlimLink adapter (sold separately) onto the back of the case, then attach your crossbody strap. This lets you carry your phone securely while keeping your hands free. Avoid overloading the strap with heavy accessories—the case is rugged but the adapter is designed for the phone's weight only.
- Clean the case regularly: Wipe the case with a damp microfiber cloth to remove dirt and oils. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubberized texture. Dust and debris can accumulate in the SlimLink groove, affecting magnetic hold. Use a soft brush or compressed air to clean it monthly.
