I got this one after I discovered that the spigen case was too thick for my liking. VERY similar to this one you posted. Really happy with it (although it is kind of a finger oil/print magnet). Pretty grippy, in fact you can push the phone up against a clean piece of glass and it sticks there almost indefinitely.

Does the front lip rise above the glass so that it could be placed face down without the glass touching the surface?

In the Q&A section, two people said yes, one person said no.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Decree:
It looks like the screen and lip of the case are about even. There's really not a ton of lip.

It's not showing on Supcase's website but Amazon list the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Series Premium Hybrid Protective Clear Case for Google Pixel 2 XL as in-stock on December 29th with delivery Jan 4 - 8. No prime shipping at this time. Their case for the Nexus 6P was my favorite, being easy to hold onto with good protection.

incase anyone is interested loopy just released their loopy case for the pixel 2 xl and 2. it still shows preorder but mine just shipped. the reason why i love this case is that it has a rubbery type loop built into the case that makes it way easy to hold it slips in and out of your pocket with no problems at all . the case is minaml and feels great in hand. i had one on my og pixel xl and loved it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] luigidk:
I have the Spigen thin fit and am very happy with it. Only drawback is dust that can get in the gap between the screen and the case. Though having screen protection is worth it.

I do like the idea of the stand that comes with the slim armor. Anyone have experience with both these cases who can tell me how much thicker the slim armor case is and how it would compare to the thin fit?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] eg1122:
Anyone know of a case/holster combo or stand alone holster that could be used with the Google fabric case?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Actorkent:
Is there a case that expands usbc to a stereo plug and maybe more. Ie. Battery, micro usb.etc?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] tsl05:
Finally, my peel case arrived. Very happy with it even though it was delayed 90 times. Peel is still my favorite case out there as it allows me to feel like I am actually getting to use my device and supplies protection on the back and sides of the device from day to day scratches. I hate cases and peel is the only brand that I can tolerate for the most part. I still prefer using my phone without a case.

Note: This is not the case to stop high impact damage and/or screen shattering from drops.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] themikeyan:
Nice, is there enough lip to protect the camera when you lay the phone on its back?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Empty Hand:
Will you post pics? I'm wondering if there is any difference between Peel and MNML.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] luigidk:
Going to answer my own question as my tough armor case just arrived.

Great case but just too big for my liking. I've gotten too used to the thin fit.

Once my invisishield tgsp shows up i may just go careless. I forgot how incredible this 2xl is naked until i was swapping cases.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ni4rkx:
HIGH PRO SHIELD SERIES by VRS design

I just recieved mine.

It feels really strong, not too thick and quit great quality material.

It comes with one part that covers the entire body, and one part like an armature that covers the edge of the case that fits in the first part. It Feels like an armored cased kinda (I never had a case before).

The power and volume buttons are a little harder to press, but at a cost of a well protected phone I don't mind that !

Cheers don't be afraid purchasing it, it's not wasted money.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Bogega:
Thanks for review! Post some pictures pls if possible.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ni4rkx:

Care to share some pictures of the peel case... Am interested... But there aren't many out there
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] dmbfan13:
I'll stack on with all the other questions out there. Does the case make it more slippery, or does it have a "rubber" feel to it? My question also goes to anyone with the MNML case as well. I wish I could find a case like Peel or MNML that has some texture (like a rubber or sandstone) but in red. I see MNML has a red case, but i fear it's just a plastic case that will be slippery.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Teksu:
mnml was too slippery for me, took it off right away. Its going back. I've ordered the IMAK Cowboy form ebay (Bear motion, but more sandy) as it was my favorite case for my OG pixel, but shipping is gonna be a couple weeks. Couldn't decide between blue or black, so both are shipping.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] henderjr:
I have a mnml and it was way too slippery. Ended up buying the Pitaka case with car mount. Expensive but love it. Though they've been out of stock for quite a while now. They have a referral program that has gotten me $15 right into Paypal thanks to people using a referral code I shared on another forum.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] I7210I:
Hi there,

what is the best option from your exprience for case = not bulk that good for the pixel 2 xl?

and which screen protector ? curved or not?

thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sphinxy:
Could you provide more details on this referral? I'm considering the Pitaka - I'm a little torn though, as I have the B&W 2XL and love the colour scheme. Feels wasted to have it covered up, but at the same time, having a mount in the car is something that would be extremely handy.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] henderjr:
I believe I get $5 and you get 10% off. https://goo.gl/ciz4Kn
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sphinxy:
Just read through the pitaka thread here on xda. It appears to be a good case, but man its pretty expensive, as i'd need to also buy the car mount.

Even including a 10% discount, I'm not sure I can take the plunge.....
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] luigidk:
I'm going to get one, unfortunately they do not have the 2xl available. Hope your friend discount will Still be available when it is in stock l
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sam.i.r:
Does anyone have an answer to this? Because It is exactly what I am looking for... I love the Pixel 2 xl side edges. and want it to be seen... just like the cases with Note 8 and s8 and all, with only the top and bottom edges having a raised lip. Do you guys know any case for pixel 2 xl like this?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Brokenbit:
The Ghostek Cloak3 have a short lip on the sides and a taller lip on the top and bottom.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] henderjr:
It's been out of stock for a while. They might be fixing the fingerprint sensor cutout as it's off by a very, very, very small amount. I know that annoyed some people. I never noticed and probably never would've had someone not said something.

I'd reach out to Pitaka them through FB messenger asking when they expect stock. That's how I contacted them when there was a delay with the first batch and they were pretty quick to respond.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sam.i.r:
Thanks bro.... I had my eyes on the Ghostek ones, until I saw bad reviews ( http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/1...otection-every-scenario-updated-continuously/ ) for it. The Ghostek stamp looks ugly and there is a rainbow effect with that case. I sure hope, more such cases come with the curved edges being preserved and only the top and bottom has a lip. If you guys know any other case like the ones with Note 8, please let me know.

has anyone received updated rhinoshield order status? mid January is approaching
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sucker4pa1n:
Dug out my XDA account for the first time in years specifically to comment that I purchased the Seidio Surface case, with free car mount, and intend on returning it. The outer hard plastic shell barely clips shut without including the metal car mount, and when the plate is in there the extra thickness makes it even worse.

Additionally, the stock charger can't even plug into the phone as the case gets in the way. This could be related to the rest, as the snugness of the case in general makes it hard to work with (but presumably would be very protective if it latched properly), but from what it looks like to me, they didn't cut enough clearance.

The feel of the case is awesome. The belt clip is also a nice touch. I'm sad to return it because overall I like it better than my current OtterBox Symmetry, but the inability to charge and the case not securing properly just ruin the experience for me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] zaydaboss:
Or the front. Lip how is it if there is one ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] luigidk:
I would do that if i used facebook so i just emailed support. Thanks for the tip.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Wilazn:
You can buy any magnet car mount on Amazon and it will work for it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kellybrf:
I have the cloak and like it a lot. I like AP a lot too, but their opinion is only that. give it a try, it's a good case. I picked mine up off eBay for $10, well worth it
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sam.i.r:
Thanks bro... can you put some proper pictures of the case?

I would like to see the edges specifically!!

I guess... the sides of the cloak are a bit too thick, but thankfully without a lip!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] pixelsquish:
Wow that case looks awesome. Will work perfect with my existing magnet mount . Definitely getting one as soon as they come back in stock!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Hyflex:
I went for the Spigen Tough Armor, it only costs £13.99 and I am very very happy with my purchase.

- It's feels and looks very strong

- Squeeze Function Works

- It looks good, not excessive design features

- The power button is very easy to find with the textured button.

- The fingerprint sensor is protected from accidental use and you can easily find the fingerprint sensor when you need it.

- The grip levels are just right with it not sliding in your hand but not too much preventing it coming out of your pocket.

- The buttons are nice and flat, no major indents or protrusions and when you press the button it presses the button underneath with ease. You don't have to press any harder than normal like you do on a lot of cases.

- The kickstand (something again not many cases have) works nicely, I already watched a TV show on my phone with it. It folds away nicely and sort of clips in to prevent it getting caught and broken off.

The Zizo Bolt lasted about 2 hours and came off, back in the box and returned.

I settled on the Cruzerlite *cough* that I had gotten first with no screen protector, I'm not hard on phones, and I did pay for Preferred Care from Google (my first $1000 phone). Phones are never in pocket with other items, sometimes in a Timbuk2 slip-in belt case left over from the Nexus 6, or a messenger bag / backpack lined pocket. The Cruzerlite *cough* has good grip, a slight lip on the front if the phone is placed screen down, and does fit really well, plus easy to install / remove. This will be my daily use 80-90% of the time.

I purchased a Lifeproof FRĒ for when I need more protection such as a screen protector, weather barrier, and a lanyard option is good too. It will be used in bad weather, mountain biking, trail building, hiking or other outdoor activity. I'm in California so rain, fog, ocean spray, sweat, or dust are the only real protection issues, even though the Pixel 2 XL is water resistant, I decided if I was going to armor the phone, I might as well go full coverage. I'm finally settled since the Lifeproof is easy to put on and take off, unlike the iBlasson. The Zizo Bolt just had too many open holes and a really poor screen protector that left gaps with the case in front. Both iBlasson and Zizo Bolt had USB covers that fold back and don't work with my dock, and are a pain to remove since I use the dock overnight for slow charging and sleep tracking. The Lifeproof is so easy to install and remove that swapping it daily or taking if off to use in the dock overnight is not issue.

The big plus to the FRĒ is that it is amazingly compact for the protection it offers, smaller than the iBlasson or Zizo Bolt and much smaller than the Unicorn Beetle I have for the old Nexus 6. There is not holster, but for me that is not an issue since I have a leather slip in case with belt clip that the FRĒ fits (another N6 leftover). Finally, my case search is done. :good:

Google Earth Live Case is on $13 discount in Canada, its $52 right now. Does anyone have this? Is it a recommended case at $52. I dont care for the live wallpaper app but it looks good as a flashy case. I have the Spigen Rugged Armor case, I love the feel but its very plain looking case.

Any suggestions?

I just received and installed the Rhinoshield 2XL case. There's a few things to note. 1. Its slippery out of the box . The 6p version had better grip and this new version will probably get worse with more use. 2. The lip isn't as deep as the Caseology Parallax or the 6p rhinoshield. But part of the reason is the whitestone screen protector isn't very thin. The screen lip isn't deep and the back lip is good enough for me. I might end up returning to the Caseology Parallax until the dbrand grip arrives. I definitely feel more protected using the Parallax despite the rhinoshield 11 feet protection. The buttons are responsive, no issues there. The stock charger fits wonderfully. The 6p rhinoshield charger port opening would bend and eventually break but I'd always use 3rd party chargers. Im only using Google chargers with this phone so 3rd party charges might fit differently. Case fits snug and takes force to remove like all other rhinoshields. All in all id give the case a 3.5/5. The main concern is the lips need to be deeper, then the case would be a 4.5/5

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jonstrong:
Looks nice...but yeah - I'd be afraid to venture outside the house with just that on it. Pity though, the phone feels great if you can keep it slim.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kush621:
Nice. Mine delivered today. Can't wait to get home slap on asking and try this out. Loved the one I had on my 6P. I'm also waiting on the dbrand grip to ship to compare the two. Honestly the Grip looks pretty ugly and bulk but I guess i'll see when it actually shows up.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kush621:
Well this thing is slippery af. Good thing it has that 11 foot drop protection cause I see my phone slipping or of my hand constantly. Not cool.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bkdodger:
I definitely agree the Rhinoshield feels slippery but also I felt the same on my iPhone X and for some reason it feels a little less after usage ...also leaves less gap between screen protector than my cases... I'm waiting on skins to come in to complete ...another thing finding the fingerprint sensor feels harder on naked phone..

i know this case was briefly mentioned a few months back but i finally received this case from Ali. it's available from multiple sellers and on Amazon as well. I was hesitant due to the asymmetrical nature, but I have to say it's a really good case. the tpu is very soft, buttons are easy to press and it fits perfectly. its become my go to case for now.

Hybrid Clear Case For Google Pixel 2 Case Heavy Duty Bumper Shockproof Armor Case For Google Pixel 2 XL Anti-Scratch Hard Cover

http://s.aliexpress.com/vABrmYrY?fromSns=
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kush621:
just a note. If you are going to use a wrap with the Rhinoshield, I suggest cutting off the sides of the wrap. It makes the fit extremely tight otherwise At least that's what I noticed last night when I put my slick wrap on. It was so tight that it pulled a corner up onto he front of the phone. I went to take it off. I had to take the case back off which was very difficult. I cut the sides of the wrap off and the fit is much better. Also with the sides of the wrap on, the buttons become mush and impossible to push.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bkdodger:
Thank you...it definitely feels tighter fitting than my iPhone bumper... I was worried on that part with the full skin applied ..guess we going to do some cutting ..lol

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] GridironTrenches:
yeah same thing happened to me. the side skin slid under and lifted the screen protector but the screen protector isn't in bad shape because the adhesive is still in place. its very tight i will hate removing it. id rather use scissors then potentially damaging the screen protector or phone

https://www.amazon.com/Google-Nillk...1516921536&sr=1-4&keywords=nillkin+pixel+2+xl

Looks nice for a minimalistic case. Guessing it's not a lot of protection if you drop the phone...I'm still wondering about the trade-off between crash protection and slim-fit as I switch between a Speck Presidio Grip and a Spigen Rugged Armor. The Spigen is slimmer and the buttons work better, but it pretty clearly won't protect as well as the Presidio Grip...which makes me wonder about these even thinner cases like Nillken, the Pitaka, and of course going all the way down a something like a dbrand skin -- looks great...but no drop protection.

Any comments / reviews about drop protection you can expect from this Nillken case?
