You can't buy the Spigen Pixel 8 Pro Slim Armor Essential S on Amazon. This case looks just like the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Case except that it has a tab in which a kickstand lives. That pull tab works in both horizontal and vertical mode, allowing me to turn the phone into a word processor for typing, or to watch a movie hands free.
The big problem with the case is that it interferes with wireless charging, because the tab is made out of metal (more sturdy). It still charges wirelessly, but not at full speed that the Pixel Stand 2 is capable of. This is not a big deal on a bike tour --- I don't bring the heavy bulky wireless charging stand and just charge with a cable. At home, however, it didn't take a month before I realized that I didn't use the stand much at home and would swap back to the Hybrid case.
Nevertheless, I plan to keep the case and swap back again when traveling. It's just too useful to not have to drag along a full sized laptop on a bike tour!
