Why aren't people using the BearMotion case? It's a hard but grippy super-thin shell.
[Google Pixel Accessories] superleeds27:
Not available in the UK
[Google Pixel Accessories] w0rdie:
It'll fit in a small envelope -- don't you have a pal in the states?
[Google Pixel Accessories] mtoomey79:
Because it says "Bear Motion" across the back of it.

Calicase for Pixel already in Amazon, just found few min ago and ordered clear black

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01N5QEAVD/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[Google Pixel Accessories] superleeds27:
Pretty sure they've been on Amazon.com for a while now.

---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ----------

Unfortunately not. I'd be all over the calicase though. Surprised they haven't hit the UK yet
[Google Pixel Accessories] Dwayne01:
I am all waiting for the Calicase in the UK, there seems to be no there options for a super thin case which is disappointing. There are no UK sellers on eBay, but there are some items that ship internationally from the US. Ridiculously expensive though.
[Google Pixel Accessories] w0rdie:
True.. and I half expected that to wear off but it is today as it was when it arrived, worth it though IMO.
[Google Pixel Accessories] sovanyio:
calicase is amazing. totally the peel for Pixel
[Google Pixel Accessories] MasK:
Decided to get another color... :D
[Google Pixel Accessories] popkurn611:
Is it grippy? Do you have a link
[Google Pixel Accessories] nizarnoor:
They don't ship to Australia :(
[Google Pixel Accessories] MasK:
Well.. I don't think its exceptionally grippy compared to being naked. It's about the same. It's not TPU, so does not have the rubbery grip.

I like it nevertheless.

Check out post 238 onwards. We're all discussing about this for a while already.

I'm thinking of getting the opaque black as well. Can't make up my mind on which looks the best :eek:
[Google Pixel Accessories] cambunch:
I just got my Calicase in the clear black and, while it looks cool, decided I prefer my dbrand skin over it. Instead of returning it to Amazon, is there anyone here that wants it? I don't mind shipping it overseas for those willing to pay for the postage.
[Google Pixel Accessories] Coderedpl:
nvm
[Google Pixel Accessories] superleeds27:
Dropped you an email :)
[Google Pixel Accessories] mikeprius:
Got the Calicase as well. It's basically another alternative to a skin. Putting it on the last corner got crushed and it's very thin plastic. It's ok, but depending on your preference a skin may work just as well b/c they provide just about the same protection.
[Google Pixel Accessories] kxf41:
I love this, where can I get it? I'm in the UK
[Google Pixel Accessories] subhani:
Same here
[Google Pixel Accessories] kcchen:
+1 on the TETDED case. The leather feels good in your hand and looks nice when placed on the table during meetings.

Here's the link to the black version:

[Google Pixel Accessories] Dwayne01:
For my UK peeps: Got this case of Amazon:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01LW6IOMT/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Should come tomorrow. It looks like slim in the pictures, so hopefully this could be a Calicase alternative.
[Google Pixel Accessories] superleeds27:
Nothing like the calicase. This is that horrible sticky rubber/TPU
[Google Pixel Accessories] cambunch:
Disregard
[Google Pixel Accessories] kxf41:
What colour?
[Google Pixel Accessories] cambunch:
Clear Black
[Google Pixel Accessories] MasK:
Got the opaque black one. My 3rd one. I think I kinda dig it and will stick to this. Goes really well with the black screen protector. Makes the phone go from "quite black" to "really black" :cool:
[Google Pixel Accessories] kxf41:
The buttons appear really difficult to press looking at the pictures of the calicase, I think I will stick with my royal blue skin and white screen protector for now, I'm really proud I have a quite black pixel looking similar to the really blue version which wasn't available for us in UK.
[Google Pixel Accessories] BotleyJesus:
What royal blue skin did you go for? D-Brand? I wanted to try out a black front and blue back, but Peel case is going to cost £25 to get over to the UK and the Calicase isn't available on ebay.co.uk or amazon.co.uk yet, so I have been considering a D-Brand.

Peel 20% Off Referral Code

Hi All,

Just ordered a Peel case for my Pixel, and they've kindly sent me a referral code that gives anyone 20% off any product :) I know someone's already posted a 10% Code, but now there's a 20% code! Just visit this link:

http://peel.refr.cc/9TLGWKP

Please let me know if this link works. :)
[Google Pixel Accessories] electric0ant:
Peel case looks exactly like the calicase and the case from taobao.

No point paying the premium for it imo
[Google Pixel Accessories] KS_Ho:
That's not the case for UK users, we don't have the luxury of calicase or bearmotion etc :(. I looked into Taobao but a user said they were quoted £30 for shipping to UK so that was off the cards haha
[Google Pixel Accessories] electric0ant:
Ah right, thought you where US based.

$25 USD plus shipping to UK, that's got to sting!

Sucks that no one else is shipping to UK
[Google Pixel Accessories] KS_Ho:
$20 + $5 shipping to UK if using the 20% link :) so roughly £20 :rolleyes:
[Google Pixel Accessories] kxf41:
I got the easyskinz skin, not bad quality and separate piece for the glass part of the back, UK based company so it was £9 delivered, I also had a 10% discount code so I ordered the black carbon skin too for £7.20
[Google Pixel Accessories] queerquirks:
Can you share the taobao link?
[Google Pixel Accessories] mikeprius:
I own both cases. They are virtually identical the Peel and Calicase esp the clear black. I prefer the Calicase and it feel slightly more durable than the Peel and slightly cheaper.
[Google Pixel Accessories] zepeters:
Just used it, worked fine! Thanks a million ;)
[Google Pixel Accessories] daewond3r:
Just got my Calicase last night and I'm in love. Exceptionally minimal, great texture, feels good in hand and easily slides in and out of pocket. Just need to be extra careful not to drop it ;)
[Google Pixel Accessories] paperecho:
Also an owner of both peel and calicase. Identical.
[Google Pixel Accessories] atlp99:
This is 100% true. The translucent black calicase is exactly the same as the black peel case.

If anything is different the calicase cutouts are a tiny bit more precise, but not by much and I'd bet it's case by case variation.
[Google Pixel Accessories] mikeprius:
I have both. I find the calicase a tad bit more durable and precise but everything else is identical and slightly cheaper
[Google Pixel Accessories] bturkel:
So is the Calicase and Peel just about the same in feel and texture?
[Google Pixel Accessories] HeCareth:
I had the Calicase with the S7 Edge, picked a black one up when the became available for the Pixel. I would say the thinnest case you can get. Right now.
[Google Pixel Accessories] hityo:
got to say I was suspect ordering it but when it came WOW! Finally someones got them in!

This is the thinnest case!
[Google Pixel Accessories] indyzzzz:
I bought a shock proof carbon fiber accented case from china on ebay. Thin and light and very tactile buttons, very happy. Cost was $2 for navy blue. Liked it so much I went ahead and ordered the mint green and red colors too.

The case also has a slightly raised lip to give u better lay on the table design, avoid scratches to screen. I have a tempered glass protector anyway for the drops, helps quite a bit.
[Google Pixel Accessories] cswithxda:
EDIT: White is gone. Blue is gone. All gone.

I have four Calicase/Peel style ultra thin case for Pixel that my friend bought off Taobao and brought to me in the states last week. If anyone wants them PM me. $12 shipped each, or if you want all four, $40 shipped. These were for my own use but alas life is unexpected as always and I sold my Pixel before my friend's visit.

Please refer to the pictures. For something off Taobao, the packaging is nice, and the case is exactly the same as Calicase and Peel. I'm also including a link to my previous pictures of how these cases would fit on your Pixel. These pictures were taken after I bought a Calicase style case from a member on XDA, which was what made me to order more directly on Taobao.

Off-topic, what is up with Peel, it took them this long to come up with something that's 2x the price but identical to those of Calicase which in turn are just some imported Taobao items. Can't bear thinking about how iPhone Peel users have been ripped off for all those years!! /rant over/

Let me know if you want more pictures taken.
[Google Pixel Accessories] KobiP:
Hey,

tnx for the tip, I ordered the black and the blue to Germany. Currently I am using the blue one and it fits amazingly good on my black pixel. I am not sure how often you can take this case on and off, I assume this will make it break as the material is super thin. But I see no reason to remove it at all, I love my pixel with this case so much more than before with a thicker case. If you use a screen protector that goes 'till the edge of the screen you can still use this case as it doesn't touch the glass. I have this "Full Cover" Glass Protector and I can use both in combination.

Cheers
[Google Pixel Accessories] hityo:
Can you sen me a picture of what the case looks like with the screen protector? Im looking for a glass one but most Ive seen come short of the edges and it looks horrible!

Thanks in Adv!
[Google Pixel Accessories] KobiP:
Hello,

for sure, here the pictures. As you can see both case and screen protector fit almost perfectly, the 2.5D Glass and the case make almost one surface. Disadvantages of the screen protector glass is the dotted pattern that you see in bad light conditions (mostly when the screen is off), the small air gap between glass and glass and that the glass is also going over the front camera. I could not see any disatvantage in picture quality, but I barely use the front camera anyway so I don't really care.

Cheers

i ordred one of these, seams pretty thin
[Google Pixel Accessories] thedosbox:
Anyone have some "real" photo's of those calicase/MNML cases? It looks like the buttons are exposed (which I want), but I'd like confirmation.
[Google Pixel Accessories] electric0ant:
Yup pretty sure it's all the same case with the exposed buttons same as the peel case. All seem to come from the same factory in China, lol.
[Google Pixel Accessories] falcon26:
I have both the Peel case and the MNML case. They are exactly the same, no difference except the price. You are paying for the PEEL name. Peel is $25 the MNML is $10. I am 99% sure these are made at the same factory in china....
[Google Pixel Accessories] jeffyh:
In love with the MNML case, but be warned, they are not durable. They're basically a scratch protector. I've dropped my phone 3 times so far, and two have cracked the case. I have 5 in reserve. Form factor can't be beat though....

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NBVSIIY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_dp_T2_xQ6uzbE7TPYQ1
[Google Pixel Accessories] crafty35a:
Has anyone tried these ones on eBay? http://www.ebay.com/itm/152550489701

They look like they are probably identical to the other options, but for half the price of the MNML on Amazon. Free shipping from the UK too.
[Google Pixel Accessories] mikeprius:
i've noticed all these thin cases in the back near the fingerprint scanner it's not tight and when you push on the case esp around the bottom of the fingerprint scanner there is a bit of a gap. The sides are tight but the way the back part fits there is a gap, possibly due to the glass back and metal frame where there is a ridge.
[Google Pixel Accessories] thedosbox:
Got the MNML and Bear Motion cases.

The MNML is nice in how thin it is - basically a glorified skin, only much easier to use. However, it's still a bit too slippery for one-handed use IMO.

The Bear Motion is nice and grippy, but the coarse texture facing the back glass worries me. Does anyone use this? Has it scratched the glass?
[Google Pixel Accessories] chris_banks2:
For those in the UK: I have recently bought a Fone-Stuff case from amazon for £5.00, and can confirm it is very similar/the same as the PEEL and MNML cases.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07234XVMG/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[Google Pixel Accessories] thedosbox:
I got a MNML and was impressed with how thin it is, but would prefer a bit more texture. The clearances around the buttons also made it tricky to operate them blind.

I decided to give this "Yihailu smoothly frosted matte shield" a shot: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/122530694754

It's a snap on case like the Bear Motion, but with a soft-touch finish. It's obviously thicker than the MNML, but not obnoxiously so. Clearances are good, and it feels more comfortable for one-handed use.
[Google Pixel Accessories] charklos:
Here ya go. It gave it a much better feel imo, even if just slightly grippier. I feel like it went from a black color to a kind of gunmetal finish, which of course looks badass. I used #0000 fine steel wool, so it wasn't harsh on the material at all; it's still smooth, just tackier I guess. Me likey. Sorry for the awful lighting, the wife has people over and they're hogging up all the optimal light. ????
[Google Pixel Accessories] the tree:
parents just don't understand:laugh:

Thanks for the feedback, I'll take a shot at it thursday when I get back to town.
[Google Pixel Accessories] daewond3r:
I have a feeling a thin fit Spigen case is coming. I also think a Nillkin Nature or Nillkin Frosted case would fit this bill and could be on the way as they've made cases for the last couple of Nexus.
[Google Pixel Accessories] zepeters:
I live in the UK and the Pixel cases are currently still very limited. I ordered 2 from amazon to try them out:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01M1FZC0C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01MDMF0RC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The second one is being released in the 31st of October only. Both of them seem very thin but I don't think the photos are real. I'll have to see for myself. The first one will be arriving either tomorrow or friday, I'll leave some feedback then ;)
[Google Pixel Accessories] km8j:
The .5mm is what I have been looking for (although .3mm is the thinnest). Dont know if that is thinner or thicker than the Max Boost but I get the Max Boost today. Let us know!
[Google Pixel Accessories] zepeters:
I'd give Max Boost a try but unfortunately it's not available in the UK and they don't ship to Europe :(

I'll let you know about these ones though ;)

[Google Pixel Accessories] fitchpuckman:
got my maxboost yesterday and it's actually pretty nice. i was only planning for it to hold me over until my rhinoshield bumper arrives, but we'll see how that goes. for the case, it's got a nice smooth matte feel, slightly more grip than naked, but not so much that it is annoying to get out of your pocket. fits very, very well...tight, no movement whatsoever. not too bad. here's some pics (did not have a good indoor lens available right now, so HELLO yellowish interior lighting).
[Google Pixel Accessories] zepeters:
It looks thinner on Amazon's photos, especially on the hole for the camera...

Still, looks pretty acceptable ;)
[Google Pixel Accessories] fitchpuckman:
ha, yeah. it's actually thinner than i was expecting it to be. the camera cutout photo i uploaded kinda sucks, bad shadows, but the case is actually pretty thin. those storefront pages always seem to have a way of making things look more awesome online than they do in your hand, eh?

[Google Pixel Accessories] ej_424:
I prefer going with Dbrand skin as I'm only looking to add some slight grip and protect the back and sides from scratches. They are up for pre-order and offer the ability to add a custom G logo on the back this round! Personally I don't love the back glass portion of the pixel so this is a win win. Matte Black with Titanium "G" on the back!

www.dbrand.com
[Google Pixel Accessories] zepeters:
I thought about that back when I had my Nexus 5. Ordered one and it looked amazing but started to peel off after a while. Which is a shame to be honest, I don't really need a case, I just want it to me be scratch free and add a lil bit more grip...
[Google Pixel Accessories] ej_424:
Hmmm odd as I never experienced that on my past two devices. While I never did the Hair Dryer step maybe its worth it to ensure adhesion is as good as possible.
[Google Pixel Accessories] charklos:
Always use a hair dryer, it makes it more malleable when applying the skin, and heats up the adhesive to help it stick to the device better. Never had any issues with dbrand stuff. Can't wait for my hyperblack titanium with colored G!
[Google Pixel Accessories] Jank4AU:
Not sure I get these cases. You only get coverage on two of the front edges. The front top and bottom edges are exposed across 95% of the width of the phone. It's not going to only hit on the side if dropped. Just saying.
[Google Pixel Accessories] km8j:
There is a little bit of lip on the bottom to help, but yes. Totally agree it is not perfect. Better than making the phone huge.
[Google Pixel Accessories] Sir_Bruce_Lee:

(sorry for the lack of a clickable link... I'm a new forum member and am not yet allowed to post a full URL)
[Google Pixel Accessories] cgalyon:
I actually had an old leather pouch I used for my Galaxy S6 and tried it with the Pixel. It fits perfectly, so you can probably just grab a pouch for the S6 or another similarly sized phone and it should work.

TETDED Premium Leather Case for Google Pixel XL Caen (LC: Naby Blue)
[Google Pixel Accessories] FoleyRose:
That's funny. Without looking at the pictures you can't be sure if it's a "baby" blue or "navy" blue color.

Just a PSA, the black one seems to ship from Ontario Canada, but the colored ones ship from Hong Kong and are a bit more expensive. This definitely swayed my choice towards the black one, as I would probably have bought the red one instead.

After watching this review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyPkf2wMI14 ...

... and these photos: https://goo.gl/photos/hTUQbNwqthr67vxu5

... I decided to order a Pixel Case by Google - Clear. Hands down, it seems to be the thinnest available. I already ordered two cases from amazon and they were cheap, bulky and ugly (low attention to details, cutouts, etc). Instead of spending my time and money trying to find a decent case, I decided just to pay a bit more and try out google's one...
[Google Pixel Accessories] milesg:
Heh - great minds think alike, I saw the same video and ordered a clear "official" case yesterday. Cost is extortionate at £25 but if it saves me trawling forums and amazon looking for thin cases, then it could be money well spent.
