It kinda amazes me that i never see any love for Stilgut.

And I'm sure I will get their case for my Pixel XL 2 too, which will come in about 2 weeks from now.

https://www.stilgut.com/google-pixel-2-xl-cover-book-type-without-clip.html

That's the one I'll get.

Ive also used that one on my Pixel XL and my Nexus 6P. And sometimes I will also buy their slipcases / pouches.

The cases feel and look premium and are a real joy to use. Most handy thing i find, is that the cover can be folded all the way around to the back. So it makes handling the phone with this type of case very easy.

I will admit though, lately i change it up. Nowadays I mostly like my phones "naked'.

That means no case and no screenprotector.

:)

I picked up the Ringke fusion clear about a month ago and it has yellowed. I haven't used this brand since i had a Nexus 6p. I should had stayed with the Spigen brand. In person looks more yellow than on the pictures.

I think i received a knock off brand or something. Hopefully no one else had this issue so soon.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] rohit25:
This was the exact reason I bought the smoke black variant.... Being in India and in hot environment.... I am still hopeful of it not getting yellowish...

And in any case I got a dbrand grip incoming...

Hi all,

I bought this case: amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0748F9MV5/

Case is very nice, but due to magnet in this case a compass/magnet sensor in Google Pixel 2 doesn't work correctly and I'm afraid that magnet in this case can damage phone.

Can magnet in this case damage phone?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Namolas:
Very good looking case. I think the shielding in phones nowadays should be more than enough protection from the magnets. I wouldn't worry about it. I Use magnets mounts that hold my entire phone in my truck, my wives car and on my desk at work. Lots of people do without issue. I wouldn't worry about it.

Besides the magnet aspect do you have any other thoughts on the case? Worth the purchase?

EDIT: Personally I'd keep it but if you really are worried about it enough to not use it, just send it back. Its Amazon, return should be free, just tell them its defective because it messes with your compass.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] hern1989:
I never experienced a case turning yellow so soon. Maybe in a six month span, but not in a month.

Hi everyone,

I am in the market for a horizontal holster for my Pixel 2 XL that will work with a thin case. Can anyone make any suggestions? I see Pdair has a nice leather one but its like 40 bucks and not sure if it is worth the money. I don't really need one that expensive anyway.

Thank you in advance!

Does it add a ton of bulk? Hard to tell from the online picture. Thanks!

I realize I'm responding to an older post but just wanted to come in that the KaerfCase is pretty amazing. Feels great, fits snuggly, buttons work perfectly. The only real issue I have with it is the squeeze gesture is less responsive. But I highly recommend these cases.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Decree:
Can anyone make any recommendations.. I've searched for awhile But can't really find what I'm looking for.

I'm looking for a hardshell case, pretty much like the Humixx case for the iPhone (plastic, thin, and soft felt feel) the the pixel 2 xl. The closest thing I've found is the Pitaka case. ( which I actually like, just expensive)

Any other recommendations?

Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kellybrf:
without looking up the iPhone case you're referencing the ringke slim sounds like what you're looking for and is the easiest one to get. I posted awhile back about the mofi I got from Ali Express which is slightly slimmer still, though not quite as extreme as something like the mnml or peel. there seems to be a number of cheaper "versions" of the mofi on ali now too

Does anyone have the OtterBox symmetry on their phone? I have been debating grabbing one and their aren't many reviews or pics other than the retail ones.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Haven't seen anyone post recently about the Moment case. I got mine just over 2 weeks ago but using it with the more affordable Sirui wide angle lens. As a case, it's actually very comfortable and easy to handle. The rounded edges really help. I just don't like the missing bottom protection.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jmags:
How do you like the Sirui wide angle lens?? Been looking around for different lens accessories myself and it's hard to pull the trigger on Moment. A little expensive...

Just wanted to post that I received my dBrand grip today. While it does add a lot of protection, it definitely is a weird feel in the hand that I'm not used to. I own a Google fabric case, Ringke clear, Aliexpress, bear motion slim case, Carved case and now the dBrand case and it's weird to feel the body of the phone get slimmer while the phone actually gets thicker. It's also not easy to pull out of pockets in slimmer jeans. I've done it a couple of times where I've pulled out the lining of my pockets trying to remove my phone from my pocket.

I do want to add that the protection is outstanding and the buttons are very clicky...almost TOO stiff for my liking. It definitely has grip, but I dont know if I'll be keeping this on my phone a lot. I need something slimmer that will easily fit with more formal wear. To each their own I suppose!

(sorry I dont have pics, my PXL2 is all I have)

yeah, I posted about it a while back. it's solid, the sides are good soft and I prefer a pc back to tpu. I think I picked mine up for $3-4, I've seen them as low as $6ish on Amazon though I can't remember if it was prime or not

I've been using my dbrand Grip for a couple weeks now and I still love it. While it's definitely not slender in portrait mode, the grippyness and tactile buttons are great. I never saw the point of skins until I installed one w the dbrand Grip case. The vinyl is thicker than I expected and seems to protect well. I'm a gal who throws phone in my purse so it's never in a pocket or clip, so it works well for my uses. And the corner protection is definitely top notch. I wish it was a little bit more slim but that would kind of defeat the Grip's purpose. My only nitpick is that it's not quite as tight a fit as I'd hoped for a frame only type case (and will it stretch over time, if I swap cases every so often?). But overall I'm glad I backed the project (oh dbrand, why did you use IGG!), would be willing to back anything else Dbrand may have up their sleeve. They def have their ducks in a row as far as getting these cases made and shipped + skins to backers quickly and the packaging was a nice touch, if not overkill for a simple skin set and Grip. Was disappointed that none of the P2XL skins that came with my Grip had any cutouts at all for the G logo while the iPX ones did w the Apple I think... If slim is important to you, Grip isn't the best choice. If you are like me and drop your phone occasionally, the Grip will protect those vulnerable corners and has nice side texture and tactile buttons. It's fairly easy to distinguish the power button from the vol up and down since thankfully they added a gap there. The white marble skin looks pretty slick on the back of my non-panda P2XL w the black fingerprint sensor and camera lens contrasting. Also, no issues this far with any charge cables not fitting.

Face down or face up the Grip does ensure there's material between the surface and phone too so no worries about scratches or dings.

Sorry that was a longer post than intended.:p but really, I've not dropped this phone or seen it slide on a surface nearly as much as I did with the Caseology Parallax or the Spigen one w kickstand. Well worth it to me!

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Trooper27:
Does anyone have any positive experience with the Lifeproof Fre for the Pixel 2 XL? The reviews seem to be mediocre at best. Thank you.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Pkt_Lnt:
Yes, six months and it is 9 of 10, great case if you need *solid* environmental protection. :good: :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Trooper27:
Thanks for your reply. So no issues reo report? I keep seeing things online about choppy audio, people can hear you and vice versa when making phone calls etc. Dust accumulation. You have no such issues?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Pkt_Lnt:
Nope, none of those. I keep it really clean and take it out often, clean the case, check the gaskets. Only reason I give it 9 of 10 stars is the buttons have to be pushed hard and in the center. If you press it slightly high or low it takes way more pressure to activate. Even in the center, you have to push pretty hard.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Trooper27:
That is good to know. Bummer about the buttons but my current Otterbox Symmetry is about the same with the buttons as well. Are they a pain to install? How is the grip with the case on? Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Pkt_Lnt:
Install is easy. The first few times you have to figure out how to line up the seal, but after that it is really easy. Removal is more work since you need to use a coin to pop the first part of the seal, then work around a little ways before it really will release. I see that as a good thing though, since I want to keep water and dust out when I am out in the woods, bad weather, or trail dust.

Grip is good, amazing protection for not much bulk added, I like the feel better than the stock phone. I have bigger hands to some added size is something I like. I have not had a Otterbox for two years, but the one I had was much more bulky.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Trooper27:
Sounds good. Assume this would be good for the beach? I have no plans to swim with it however.

Not sure if you got a good one, or people complain about every little thing. Check out some of these reviews on Amazon. Does not sound great. Just trying to make a good decision before I pull the trigger. Thanks.

https://www.amazon.com/Lifeproof-77...Type=all_reviews&sortBy=recent#R32502CPDQJLH6
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Pkt_Lnt:
Yes, good beach phone. I use mine on a mountain bike and doing trail maintenance which is dirt everywhere. Good on rainy days so I don't have to baby the phone.

Most of those Amazon reviews are stupid. Of course the fingerprint sensor is harder to get exactly right since it has a waterproof cover! Give. Me. A. Break!

If you want solid protection from dust and water, you may not have the same results as a naked phone. Yes dust gets into the speaker areas, BUT not inside the phone. Like I said, I clean mine often because I'm in dirt and dust like a wind storm went by, and I'm caked in dust and grime, so is the case, but only on the outside.

I clean up in the shower and so does the phone (not the same shower though). I take the phone out of the case and immerse the case halves unassembled in light soapy water, using a soft paint brush. Then rinse it well, dry it out with a microfiber cloth, let is set for a few hours to dry completely.

Those people are lazy and unrealistic.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Trooper27:
Thanks and sorry for the late reply.

I ended up ordering one off of Amazon Friday night and I got it today. It really is not bad at all. Not sure I can use it for a daily driver but for going to the beach this summer I think it will work just fine. No issues with the fingerprint scanner. Did not test a phone call but not overly concerned about it.

Just goes to show that you can't rely on Amazon reviews. Sounds like you are outside often so I assume this case is for your daily use?

Thanks again!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Pkt_Lnt:
I've never had phone call issues. I use it 2-4 days a week mostly. I have a plain Cruzerlite slim case for other times at home or in town. That is why I know how easy it is to install and remove the P2XL from the Lifeproof. :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Trooper27:
This is good to know. Not sure how often I will use it, but maybe I will give it a go this week at work. I normally do not use screen protectors so it was a bit strange for me to have it on there earlier today.

I don't think these cases are worth 100 bucks imho however paying half price for it was quite nice.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Pkt_Lnt:
I don't use a screen protector either, with the Lifeproof on it takes a little adjustment. I got it for about $30 bucks since I had a gift card. I have surfer / paddle board / kayak friends who use the Lifeproof on various phones (with leashes) in the ocean. They swear by the Lifeproof cases, even at $100. It is all a matter of use / need / preference - still cheaper than replacing a $1000 phone if you get it wet or full of dirt or salt water. :eek:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Trooper27:
It will definitely be an adjustment. I left my house today with just the Diztronic, but may check out the Lifeproof later in the week. That is cool that your surfer friends swear by it in the ocean. I also get it that it is worth some kind of investment to protect an almost one thousand dollar phone. I guess just by principle it irks me to spend 100 dollars on a piece of plastic, even though I did not spend that much. :good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] skimminstones:
i got this one a few days ago and more than happy with it.

Feels great. Got one for my 2 XL that arrived before the phone did and it feels just as great as the case on my View 10. I've never had a case that felt so natural to hold. And it's really soft. The dual layer protection is a plus too. I've dropped my View 10 a couple times (I'm not very clumsy in that regard... But I am a clumsy person), and there isn't even a mark. The case itself doesn't have any scratches either. Given that the 2 XLs case feels just as rugged I'm pretty happy :)
