picked up the Cement Fabric Case last weekend at Verizon Store with no phone yet .. finally got the phone today. Pricey case but very sweet looking and feel. Just wish it was thinner since it does make the phone feel slightly wider. Solid case though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] brando21:
I went ahead and grabbed the UAG. Quick fit and seems really sturdy. It also allows for the squeeze function to work but you might want to tone down the setting.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] SmartBrother90:
From left to right: Griffin Survivor and Ringke Fusion, Caseology Parallax,

Size: Parallax is the biggest, followed by the Survivor then Fusion

Fit: Fusion has the tightest fit, followed by the Parallax then Survivor

Ease: Parallax is the hardest to take on/off, followed by the Fusion then Survivor

Security: All 3 provide adequate protect for the Pixel XL 2

Personally im in between the Fusion and Survivor. The parallax is a bit too wide for me
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] MariuxReloaded:
Hi guys, just a question for you: is Active Edge working properly with the Ringke Fusion case? :)

Thanks in advance ;)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] erojas388:
Any pictures? I was thinking about getting this as well.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] idiotzach15:
I think we're in the same boat. I've had the exact same experience with the same Ringke case. I was actually amazed at how quickly it picked up dust on those edges.

---------- Post added at 08:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 AM ----------

Yep, the squeeze works just fine. The sides are TPU so it doesn't add any extra effort.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] MariuxReloaded:
Perfect, thank you :good:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] brando21:
No pictures but came a clear case. Expected the smoke color but it is fine. Have the all black Pixel. It is low profile so it doesn't add much bulk to it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] libertao:
Got the Dretal case as it looked like a slim TPU case with some grip, which is all I wanted. Not happy at all -- the lip is so short it doesn't seem to protect the curved edge and the back is basically as smooth as the naked phone. Keeping it until I can order a Diztronic, then probably returning it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] branshaw09:
Hi there... I picked up the Maxboost Msnap case and wanted to see if anyone here is interested in purchasing it from me? I am not going to keep it as I like to change out cases and it's a VERY snug fit. It's a really nice case that give a minimal look and feel. Good deal on it cause I dont want to pay for shipping back to Amazon. PM me. Thanks

---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ----------

Yes works just fine. I have the smoke. It's a great case. Offers some good protection with a minimal feel.

FYI.. MNML is now available on Amazon for the XL 2!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
Any update on the seidio and parallax?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] akenis:
MNML looks awesome thin. Good reviews except for another thread that says 2XL version Lacks hump on camera leaving it exposed a bit. No lip.

I've got two:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B073YQYJBG/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0763F9SK7/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The Asgard is pretty thin and very similar to Spiegen Crystal was. No lip. Slightly slippery and smudgy on the back.

The leather back case is a bit thick for me but more grippy. The USB cutout is a bit sharp on my pinky where I balance my phone. No lip either.

I'd like to try MNML. Have doubts about camera bump and it being maybe too minimal....little drop protection.

---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------

How do you guys feel about the lip? I mean having confidence with laying face down? My son hates lip and says it gets in way of swiping. He just never lays screen down.

Guess I have bad habit of going screen down and have always had a lip. I think it's a psychological thing akin to disconnecting from the device physically. OFF....away with you. LEAVE ME ALONE!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] cryppie:
I'm also disappointed in the Air Jacket. Buttons are hard to press as they're only cutouts and recessed under the case. Case is thin, rigid plastic. It feels as if it would break along with the phone if dropped. No screen protection at all so can't lay phone face down. Had high hopes due to its price but it is a complete letdown.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] JimSmith94:
The Seidio case and holster are finally available. I just ordered mine about an hour ago.

Received the Spigen Neo Hybrid today - So far, this is going to be my daily driver at least until a couple other companies come out with their cases...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] luigidk:
I received the Spigen thin fit and the Spigen liquid crystal today. Am very happy with the thin fit. Especially like that it has a space for my dashboard mount plate, ingenious.

I've returned the liquid crystal. It is very nice with quite a bit more protection than the thin fit. The thin fit for me is close to perfect.

The Google air protect is very poor especially if you factor in the 3x cost. Even at the same price the thin fit is much better
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] mngdew:
That case is not giving you any screen protection at all.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] androidpixar:
True. Never used one in a decade of smartphone usage. This type of case is what I've have always used unless I went commando.

It's good for the money. It'll hold you over until you find the real case you want. It's pretty thin and barely adds a lip. The back has that pattern that makes it hard to get fingerprints. It looks like some of those 8 and 11 dollar cases with the exact same pattern so might as well save some bucks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] blcklab:
Is there much difference in protection between the caseology frontier and The caseology Parallax?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] HankStorm:
Looks very nice. Does the case cover the side buttons or does it have cutouts for them? Looks like maybe cutouts but I can't tell for sure.

Well I went with the black version to get the phone faster and then slickwrapped it to get the penguin look. Can't say I'm impressed this time around...the edges don't stick well and I actually had sizing issues this time from top to bottom. Also with the white it gets darkened when using the cloth to smooth the edges. I usually love the end result...

Is there a case for the Pixel 2 XL similar to the LifeProof case? I've been looking for a heavy duty case with a built-in screen protector but I've had no luck. The LifeProof case is too expensive since I'll only be using it for work.

Ordered a third case -- this one being Spigen slim armor. The list by OP needs to be updated. None of the three cases are posted there.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] smallsmx301:
Just Recieved my Spigen liquid Crystal. It adds quite a bit of bulk to the phone compared to the Ringke Fusion I've been using the last couple days so I will be returning it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] branshaw09:
I received my Spigen thin fit and have to say that I really like it, minus one thing. First of all it's a great minimal feel and has a good feel on the back for grip. My only complaint is that I wish they didn't have the sides so high. I think that would make it look better and help decrease the lint it picks up in my pocket. I wish it was more flush with the phone and they built the corners with a little lip to protect the phones face. Kinda like the s8.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] underscore_overscore:
I got the Caseology Parallax in black for my 2 XL delivered this morning and liking it so far. Yes it does add to an already large phone but the added heft and lip over the screen make me feel more comfortable about using the phone.

The added heft has made the squeeze feature easier to use for me, without the case assistant didn't pop-up consistently for me,and now it does without any sensitivity changes, weird.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] luigidk:
Hmmm, i was going to say i like the sides high to protect the screen, but if it was onky the corners that may enhance the profile.

The thin fit is still my ideal case.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Kenneth196:
I think I'm personally gonna go with the Ringke fusion. It seems like dust is an issue with it but I plan on putting a blue dband skin on it. I'm mainly concerned with a case just a bit thicker than minimalist (such as the mnml case), offered great protection, and see through.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] brooklynchildxbc:
i ordered the black also for that reason and got a dbrand but going reverse panda
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Jiibus:
I've been using the Caseology parallax for about a week now and I'm happy with it. It's a tight fit when you initially put it on, but I like the protection it offers.

Has anyone with the parallax case actually found a good compatible holster for it?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Jexx11:
I've been using the Parallax case for over a week, but I just got my UAG case in the mail today and I already prefer it by quite a bit. I found the Parallax case to be a little slick and hard to hold for my liking, but the UAG case has a little more grip without being too grippy to slide in and out of pockets.

I would say they are about identical in bulkiness, but the UAG case I would imagine offers much better protection because it has a rigid back and sides and a better rubber bumper on the edges.

Granted the UAG case cost a lot more but I've always been a fan of their cases and they definitely don't disappoint on the pixel 2 XL.

Both cases are good options for those who like decent protection, however the UAG will be my daily driver.

Are there any polycarbonate clear cases? Tpu cases yellow after a while.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] B_Sinn3d:
Any cases that do not have the lip that totally runs the sleekness of the curved screen?

I am less concerned with the case protecting the screen. I am looking for corner protection if dropped and normal everyday scratches on back and around all sides.

I will have a glass screen protector to protect the screen.

Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] AspenSTi:
I saw the dbrand installed and the ones without the sides fit very well. The tolerances were just so tight with the slickwraps you had to be perfect, around every edge. If they had one without the sides I'd be all over it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] dadoc04:
diztronic will be purchased asap
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] rajendra82:
Got the Spigen Neo Hybrid today. A bit bulky, but feels bulletproof. Fit and finish is impeccable, as has always been the case (pun intended) with Spigen. Works well with v2 of the AmFilm tempered glass protector, and I know my phone will survive any drop. Miss the naked feel and might go back to the leather pouch I was using eventually, but the Neo Hybrid isn't a bad way to carry the phone.

I was just about to post that! I'll definitely be getting one of these. I'll probably just wait to order until December though.

On another note, I will be getting the below case from Spigen today. I almost never use a case, except for my S7 Edge due to the glass back feeling gross after about 5 minutes of fingerprints. But, I REALLY do not want to mess up this phone, so I'm getting this one to put on it when I'm out and about. At home and work I'll still be rocking the commando.

Also, I had ordered the Maxboost thin case a couple weeks ago thinking it looked great, and it looked like it actually protected the front a bit too. The last part, not so much. It came above the screen by maybe a millimeter. So, they say full protection, but nope, not even. Also, I could barely get the case on at all, which should have been a huge red flag, but, apparently I had the dumb that day and continued to put it on. I literally damaged the screen trying to get it off. Not the glass, but I guess the polarizer? The side I pried (as carefully as I could), has a red color to it now (I guess I slightly bent the phone?)... Thankfully, Google is sending me a replacement. Beware of this case!

Add to that all, i pre-ordered the UAG almost the same day they listed it on there website (few weeks ago) coz i was checking the website back then almost every day, now i see some ppl posting that they received there uag, tried contacting them, and they are saying they ran out of stock, really, comooooon..

Ringke Minimalist

Actually very good cheap case. Great fit, slim except corners built up a little extra for drop protection. Fits so snuggly, it's hard to get the case off. I got it on coupon deal for $4 or so but I would say it's worth the regular price and comparable to a Tudia or Diztronic.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Got that color and the Bevel in clear as well. Wasn't sure if I would like the lines but it does look better in person and has a good feel for extra grip. I did notice it was pretty snug at the top but it's easier to remove from the bottom.

Can someone help me understand which case is the go-to for being a slim as possible, while offering *some* protection, especially if the phone is face down?

Just got the case/holster combo from https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0765PR1S9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_52O-zb6A9GHC3. It feels cheap, but for $8.99 I really didn't expect much. It fits nice in the holster but there is some room for it topve around while snapped in. I tried my best to get it fall out and it held steady. Right now I'm using it with the 3D Glass by Zagg and so far they pair nicely together. At the very least it will do until I get better options from my usual makers (Supcase, i-Blason, etc).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] underscore_overscore:
I just got the Ringke fusion. Switching to it from the Caseology Parallax makes the phone feel much lighter and slim. I'm just a little doubtful of the screen protection offered by the fusion as it's has very little rise above the display

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] tweiss3:
I bought both the Spigen Rugged Armor and Spigen Liquid Crystal cases. Both in hand, they seem really nice, and should fit perfectly. I had the Spigen Rugged Armor on my 6P for 2 years and love it. I expect the same amount of love the next two years. I would have gotten only the Rugged Armor, but I bought a Panda/Penguin and figured I should show it off a bit.

They aren't as protective as some others, but my phone stays in my pocket or on my desk, and never goes in my back pocket, so it's not an issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] theBeachBoy:
Any bumper case with colored power button?

I like the panda but could not wait for it... It will become a trademark of Pixel phones I'm sure.

Now here's a cool looking case I haven't seen.

https://obliqproduct.com/collections/pixel-2-xl/products/google-pixel-2-xl-case-flex-pro
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] underscore_overscore:
I have the same question, is the Caseology vault slimmer than the Parallax, in case someone has ordered both by now. The specifications listed on Amazon aren't helpful as it lists the package dimensions, not case dimensions.

I have the Parallax and since I'm not used to phone's the size of the 2XL, it just felt too huge with that case on although the protection seems great and feels great in the hand.

The Ringke fusion I got yesterday is very slim. So while it doesn't feel as bulky as the Parallax, and looks sufficiently higher than the rear camera bump, it doesn't rise higher than the display on the front.

So I'm looking for a case that does all that while not adding too much bulk. A slimmer version of the Parallax or the fusion with higher edges on the front.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] DevanteWeary:
Anyone know where I can find a bright green, see through, gel / TPU case?
