Google Pixel 2 Squeeze

Simple Question:

Does anyone know if the Google Pixel 2 & Pixel 2 XL's squeeze feature works through cases? specifically the Dbrand grip, if that makes any difference.

No first hand experience with the device but I think it would probably work if the case had enough flex when squeezed, though I could be wrong.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too.

I might need to lower the threshold to be much lower than default though.

If your interested on what it looks like inside, Ars had a post on the iFixit teardown:

OK, I basically answered my own question with only a few minutes of searching.

Re-watching Google's event where they mention the Squeeze, they say that it will work even through a case, so I guess the question is answered!

If its the same tech as the U11, owners of the U11 use a case and has no problems activating the feature whatsoever.
