[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] yeongil:
The Wimaha? I got it on Friday, but I'm returning it. Mine doesn't halo, but the edges all around the screen protector does not stick to the screen. I would say that anywhere from the edge to 2-5 mm in, it doesn't stick.

I'm trying the Toshion next. Hopefully it will be okay to have it and the Spigen Rugged Armor... Oh why oh why doesn't Spigen come out with a Glas.tr Slim TGSP for the Pixel 2????
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] FSRBIKER:
I will be writing a review as well shortly for the PhantomSkinz for Pixel 2, I have the case cut version of their screen protectors that I installed last night. I'm waiting another day or two before writing my full review.

As far as feel and this is about 18 hours after I installed it, very smooth and does not have the rubbery sticky feel of some other wet apply screen protectors.

Hopefully Diztronic releases their slim-fit cases before the Pixels ship. Love the Pixlee case.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] ppdebie:
Here's a good question. I greatly prefer the hard plastic covers. Thin and protective. However, how will hard plastic covers (such as the oneplus ones) work with the active edge of the Pixel 2 xl?

I've just ordered a Caseology Parallax, but I wonder if that will work with the active edge?
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] iazybandit:
I plan on getting the Parallax as well. From the looks of the case, it has rubber on the sides. So this will help.

I forgot which YouTube video I was watching but they said that the sides wouldn't be a problem with cases because of the way it detects the "squishy" sides. You can also set the pressure. So if you have a case on and it requires you to press harder, you can just make it more sensitive.

I like "thin-fit" case from Spigen, it's very minimalist. But Spigen is kind of boring without many color choices. I used it on my Nexus 6.

Do you know any other minimalist case like that which is not boring? :)

I ordered the Spigen Rugged Armor Pixel 2 case. I've had it for a few days already, it is not heavy, looks nice and has some grip but not too much.

I've ordered 5 cases so far. One has arrived, 2 arrive Friday, one arrives a day before the phone ships, and the 5th arrives 1st week of November (Spigen pre-order). The 4 that arrived or are about to were just cheapos for me to play with, $5-$8/pop.

I might also blow ~$50 after tax on the Bellroy Leather Case in black, but it's sold out. I'll try for the next batch if I'm not in love with the Spigen or one of the dark horse candidates.

Once I get the phone, I'll posts pics/video to help others decide.

This week I received the new case, and this is the best so far, I'm sticking with it:

https://www.ebay.es/itm/Ultra-Thin-...var=671103269168&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

This is my "easy/comfortable to use" ranking so far:

"Centopi" Ultra Thin Silicone Case For The Google Pixel 2 (SKU: CEN-GOOG-001) > Ringke Fusion > Naked with DBrand Black Dragon > Naked > Rhinoshield Bumper Case

Advantages:

- For a slim gel case, buttons works really nice. (But I had to remove the DBRAND skin for perfect button's fit).

- Best grip/comfort so far.

- it offers estetic protection

Disadvantages:

- As it is full clear on the sides, it doesn't look that good on a Black Pixel (because you see the "bright" corners, etc).

- Obviously it doesn't offer good protection for drops. but still will protect much more than naked.

In quality obviously the Ringke is much better. But in comfort, etc. this ultra thin case is the best so far.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] picodot:
I got the diztronic case from Amazon for $9.99 and really like it so far. It's thin, offers ample protection in case of moderately rough handling, has good button controls, and is beveled just enough to protect the screen and camera. For the price, it's hard to beat.

Anyone got their Peel cases yet? They started shipping recently.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] jaggillararla:
Did anyone use zizo for pixel 2?
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] JohnKuczek:
I got mine yesterday. Very nice. I got the black one. I also have a black MNML and I like the Peel much more. Main differences are that the Peel has a rib around the camera, while the MNML has one around the fingerprint scanner and the Peel almost wraps around to the screen, while the MNML stops where the frame bends.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] PuffDaddy_d:
Let us know how it fits over time. I heard they become loose as they age.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Haz04:
Hi all, I'm looking for a slimmer clear case than the Spigen one for my Pixel 2. I'm not too fussed about screen protection because I have insurance but I just want something minimal and clear. The MNML ones look to be frosted?? Ideally I'd like the buttons to not be covered but it's not a deal breaker.. suggestions please
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] PuffDaddy_d:
I assume you mean thinner than the Spigen Liquid Crystal case... That's a tough combination of features. You might have to settle for a hard plastic case similar to the Spigen Thin Fit and hope you can find something from a no-name brand eBay listing that is clear.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Haz04:
Yeah sorry I meant thinner. The wife's Ringke one is thinner than the Spigen but I'd like it a little thinner again. What about the Peel one?
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] PuffDaddy_d:
Sorry, I wasn't correcting your grammar. I was specifying the case model as Spigen Liquid Crystal.

Anyway, my point was that it will be hard to find a clear case that leaves the buttons exposed unless you find a hard plastic one with a similar style to the Spigen Thin Fit model.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Chad_Petree:
I usually hate cases, I use my phones naked, but my pixel 2 already a scratch on the glass panel on the back, so I think it's time for me to get a case, I got the fabric case and why I really enjoy the look, it's too slipery , I'm looking for a case that looks pretty minimalistic while also improving the grip of the phone , not making i more slippery like the fabric case! I'm between these three:

Moment Case

Caseology Vault

and the mnml case

Which one would you guys recommend me? The moment looks a bit too bulky, the caseology looks a bit too busy/ugly and the mnml looks slippery as hell :crying:
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] JacentyEsz:
I have a lot of cases for my Pixel 2. If You don't like cases i recommended to you to buy X-Level slim case:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076BLLCDY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Fits perfect, looks fantastic. It's cheap but very, very good. I have black and gold version. I also bought MNML case for my Pixel 2, but still waiting for my package from Hong Kong.

If You wanna more protection i also have Spigen Neo Hybrid:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0746Z1KYN/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It is not so slim as X-level and MNML but looks and protect very good.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] FSRBIKER:
Not bulky, full protection and great grip....get the Urban Armor Case.

https://www.urbanarmorgear.com/products/google-pixel-2-case
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] PuffDaddy_d:
Your first two options add considerable bulk. The mnml doesn't add enough. Get the xLevel case or just use a clear skin if you want extra grip and don't care about drop protection.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] dzaster89:
I think I just found the perfect case for the Pixel 2, well for me at least. I was looking for a clear/matte tpu case which was not bulky but offered some protection all around. Tried the Spigen Liquid Crystal and while it does offer a good amount of drop protection it was a little too bulky for me. Then the MNML, this case is probably as thin as they get, and as the name implies very minimal bulk. It does offer protection all around but, as on my previous Pixel, if dropped you might experience some damage to the front lip of the phone. After seeing a few mentions on the X-level cases on here I decided to give em a shot. After looking around decide to go with this one: https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32849963724.html?spm=a2g0n.orderList.0.0.146a1749h44fqf

Received the case today and this is the one I'm sticking with. This case sits in between the two I mentioned, not too thin not too bulky. Great protection all around, with small raised lip that appears to sit flush with my glass screen protector. I would feel a little more comfortable if I were to drop the phone now but only from moderate heights. It is a fingerprint magnet, but whatever, you can't win em all and it doesn't bother me. Grip level is increased compared to having no case on and click-feel isn't diminished on buttons. This case checks all the marks for me and if you're in search of a slim tpu case I'd definitely recommend this, at the price it definitely cannot be beat.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] PuffDaddy_d:
I agree and went through the same cases you did only to end up with the xLevel and haven't looked back. It's the best combination of thin and protective.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Francis35:
Ip
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Chad_Petree:
But do you think that the xlevel also offers drop protection ? That stupid glass back can break quite easily according to some users here on XDA ... :(
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] PuffDaddy_d:
It depends on the type of drop. I don't get cases for ultimate drop protection because of the added bulk. I get it to prevent catastrophic damage in case of a small tumble. If you're really worried about drop protection, then get a heavy duty case.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Chad_Petree:
I dont drop my phone a lot, but in case in happens I want to be prepared , I mean the back is partially made of glass ang glass is not very resistant, it doesn't matter how much gorilla glass tries to convince us! :crying:
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] mrdoug:
Picked up this one recently. At first I didn't like it because it was so thin, but the design with the cutouts on the side, etc really is unique. I'm sure it won't do much in a drop, but hopefully that won't happen.

[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] PuffDaddy_d:
Lol, that is not thin at all. It looks like it could handle any normal drops and then some.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] mrdoug:
Guess that's a matter of opinion... I have the Caseology Parallax, which is supposed to be slimline. This case is a bit slimmer (noticably so).

I never said it was the slimmest you can get, or a skin (they name it that... vskin... But I don't subscribe to that description). It is still slim, IMO.

Just recently bought a case from Zizo. Love it. Nice lip on the front, camera is nicely recessed on the back, kickstand works for both horizontal and verticle, and I love that when closed, the kickstand makes a little bump so it's easier for me to maneuver the phone one-handed without dropping it. Though, the downside is that because of that bump, it barely fits in the phone holder in my car. But I do love the fact that there are 7 different color schemes to choose from.

Not using it anymore.

Got a Ringke Bevel a few days later and been using that since.

Ringke Fusion is too bulky.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] Haris000:
hows the bevel?? The protection? I bought a spigen liquid crystal and after a week or two this yellow tint came up :(
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] bland.life:
Its fine, doesn't bulk the phone that much.

Protection-wise the material has some thickness not like the really thin case I used with my N5X.

That thin case saved my N5X from a drop on a tar road so I think the Bevel would be adequate as well.

But it has a pattern at the back so the original device back is obscured.

Pitaka Aramid Case*

I've been using the Pitaka Aramid Case for the last week and am loving it so far. For those not famliar its a very thin minimalist case that is made of Aramid fiber that is provides stiffness and strength to the phone. The case fits the phone perfectly and is very easy to slip on, but a bit more difficult to take off. It has kind of rubberyish coating that makes it easy to grip and it doesn't get too messed up with finger smudges.

It has cut outs on the top, bottom and left (button) sides to allow access to all ports, sensors and buttons:

The case itself is magnetic making it compatible with both Pitaka's and other 3rd party mag mounts. I have a non-pitaka mount in my truck and the case works awesome without having to stick an additional metal plate in it like I had to do with my Diztronic case.

I love the added strength that the Pitaka adds to the phone and I'm much less worried about "back pocket" accidents, but I'm sure I'm losing a bit of shock protection in the event of a phone drop. It's also a little bit harder to hit the side the buttons compared to the Diztronic case that full coverage with plus-sized button covers.

If you're looking for a minimalist case that offers more than just scratch protection, this one is worth the investment.

* Full-Disclosure - I was approached via PM by a Pitaka representative asking if I would like to receive a demo case. This is that case. I'm really happy with the Pitaka magnetic case and plan to keep it on my phone for the foreseeable future.

I'm searching for a case for the regular Pixel 2 just like the Ringke FUSION, but in black, without extra bulky designs, just plain black. And with the same kind of protection.

Anything out there?

Just about any of the Spigen cases would work.

Diztronic pretty much describes what you are looking for. However, if you want something that is less bulky I recommend the X-Level Guardian series.

[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] radon222:
Well I've had a successful drop test with the Diztronic. I forgot that I had my phone in a shirt pocket and bent over. The screen protector popped off when the phone hit the tile floor, but no damage to the phone itself.

The Pitaka case is another option..but certainly a more pricey option too. https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76137484&postcount=227

Ordered a couple Incipio cases on Amazon while they were on sale.

The gray Esquire Carnaby case looks and feels great. Kind of like one of the fabric cases with better protection from the TPU sides and no exposed bottom. The case is a bit bulky and is a pain to remove. Probably won't use it much. Would be more disappointing if I paid $35 but it was only $10 after discount.

Also got the Incipio Octane which could end up being the main case I use for the Pixel 2. Way easier to remove than the Esquire. It feels more durable and protecive while being a bit less bulky. The sides are TPU with ridges for extra grip. The back is a non slippery translucent polycarbonate that isn't prone to showing fingerprints or scratches. The sand color (more light gray than tan) looks really good on the white Pixel 2. Would be fine paying the original $25 for this case.

Both Incipio cases have a significant lip, nice responsive buttons and work well with active edge. The FPS cut out could be smaller. Esquire also comes in blue and the Octane has blue, black and plum .

Hello people, I have about 8 months ago with the Spigen Neo Hybrid case, I am somewhat tired of this case. I would like a cover that has a protection like this on the front but that is thinner, that does not fatten it as much as it is. I was thinking about the Ringke Fusion but I'll use them now. What dou you recommend?
