Also have the Spigen thin fit which is very similar. Like Nillkin better, a little thinner and less of a fingerprint magnet. However both open at top and bottom, so drop protection not so good. I have it to protect the camera bump and I like the added feel.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] luigidk:
I had the nillkin on my 6p, loved it. Went with the Spigen thin fit for my 2xl in lieu of the nillkin not being available.

Ive now ordered the pitaka and very excited for it, assuming it will work with the invisishield tgsp

Just got my Mofi case from China. Not as minimal as a peel but pretty darn thin. The feel of it is soft touch like the Nexus 5. It's a little slippery but might get better after use. The buttons feel amazing. So far great minimal case
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ytsejam1138:
How about some pics? Does it protect the camera when on a table? Does it have a lip for the screen so you can place it face down?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] smallsmx301:
It does protect the camera, no lip to protect the screen. The case covers about where the glass and metal meet. View attachment 4405853View attachment 4405854
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] aznriceballman:
Does this protect the top and bottom?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] smallsmx301:
It does. It covers all sides of the phone. It reminds me of the max boost case. It also has the slits in the corner so the corners don't crack
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kellybrf:
just got mine today too, I like it a lot better than my mnml. slightly thicker but still very minimal, and the coating feels a lot better. the n5 comparison is close, though it isn't quite as good as the n5 was. it covers the camera fine, though as a minimal case doesn't do anything for the screen. the msnap comparison came to mind for me as well. mofi on the left, mnml on the rightView attachment 4407017View attachment 4407018View attachment 4407019View attachment 4407020View attachment 4407021View attachment 4407022

Rocking 3 Cases. Spigen Tough Armor (Best protection used for work. Adds bulk for better grip. Buttons not very good. Have to press hard), Google Case Carbon (Great feel, best buttons. No screen protection. Looks really good.). And the Rinke Clear Case with textured back.(Good screen protection, minimal drop. Great buttons. Nice to show case Panda phone). Since I've got the Panda 2XL. I used white to highlighted aspects of the cases.

Yea I searched ebay after my post and purchased one. Thanks though...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] smithinsundar:
Bought a spigen neo hybrid case. It feels rugged to hold and smooth at the same time . The lips are raised ones as well.

But I don't think this would give room for any curved tempered glass ( if available) .

Now in search of a plain sticker type protector at least to guard it from scratches if not from fall.

Any suggestions ? Plz
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] zathus:
ALCANTARA slick wrap. It's a little thicker than a normal skin. So you actually get camera protection. Obviously no drop protection because it's not a case but it feels amazing. I'm very happy with it

Anccer slim case, Black Gravel colour

Using this case for now until I get a few more from Ali/Amazon.

Due to the lack of a good non dot matrix TGSP, I'm running my Pixel naked.

Looking at a flip style case for full time use.

Leather style TPU case

PU Leather flip case

I've been using Venoro https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075G8XKP7?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf but have had the belt clip break 3 times so far and getting sick of it buying new ones every month. Has anyone had any better luck with any holsters? Looking for something protective and going to instantly break.

Would appreciate any tips. Thanks!

I've been using Incipio case. I like the feel and its durability
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] oneandroidnut:
Yeah it's cheaply made. Feels ok but very little protection and sort of slick feeling
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kellybrf:
I have to disagree, I don't think it feels cheap or slick. yes, it offers little drop protection but that's the point of a minimal case like this.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kellybrf:
for anyone looking at the mofi, there appears to be another version on Ali currently selling for $3

Did you find out anything about this case? I've just had a look and it looks nice and thin.

I currently have the Spigen crystal clear but I'm now looking for a thin clear case as the Spigen is dirty and a bit thick
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kellybrf:
I have to say, no matter how many new cases I get I keep coming back to the ghostek cloak. I can't use a minimal case because kids but I want to minimize the bulk as much as possible. the cloak seems like it's be big, but really doesn't feel like it adds much and I like the extra lip along the corners/top and bottom. really though, it just feels the best in my hand. smooth but grippy.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kevinjt:
Ghostek cloak 3??? Can you provide more details? Fitment issues? Pics?

I heard that they had some issues with the fitment.

I'm rocking a Google Live case with some Panda color theme to match my Pixel 2 XL panda and I absolutely love it. I just received it on Monday and wish I had done this sooner. I might order another one, but the Dual Layer Google Live case with the same colors for when I go somewhere that requires a more heavy duty case like the beach/pool side etc. Let me know what you guys think..

Disclaimer all pictures were taken with a GoPro 4 hero cam except the mirror pic so they aren't that great.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] SFG:
Love the look! Might have to get me one.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kellybrf:
it fits great, the only issue is getting the colored bumper to sit properly in the tpu once you put the case on since it is a tight fitting case, but once you put it on a time or two it's pretty easy to figure out. I'll try to get pics up, but it'll probably be a few days
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Namolas:
I just looked it up. Thats a pretty good looking case. What color Pixel do you have? Can you post some pics?

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] gianton:
They look identical but haven't used them before to tell the difference. It's almost the same as the Caudabe case I had on my iPhone 7. It fits like a glove and has perfect cutouts for the ports/buttons.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bigant262:
Any thin cases that are similar to the Spigen Rugged Armor?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kellybrf:
those cute cases are all over AliExpress. maybe not hello Kitty specifically (though they may be,) but I saw tons of them while looking for my wife's pixel 2
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] smallsmx301:
Diztronic are always good. Currently in my rotation.

Anyone try any of the incipio cases? I saw one on a GS8 that was kind of rubbery with great grip and a thin profile.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] movadoevo8:
Yeah man I love this thing I have 9 cases and I usually switch around all the time bc i get bored with the same look, but so far I have not removed this case since it went on bc of how gorgeous it looks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] browniegirl:
I didn't see any of that same completely matte tpu (what did you even search in AliExpress)

NVM you got my hopes up then they got crushed again lol.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] kellybrf:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] detonation:
Has anyone tried the new Ringke Slim case yet? Looking for a slim solid white (not frosted) case and this one looks great but I'm concerned it might be too slippery. Otherwise I'll grab the Nillkin but I like that the Ringke covers the top and bottom.

https://www.amazon.com/Ringke-Snug-Fit-Tailored-Lightweight-Resistant/dp/B0792NYZMW/
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
Are the buttons basically flush when on? That's how it is with the MNML case.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] madscribblerz:
Yeah, pretty much perfectly. If I run my thumb down the side I have to find the buttons by the tiny gaps above and below each button rather by the raise of the button itself. The case is exactly flush.

On the camera there is a slight raise to the case, just barely enough so that the camera lens doesn't rest on whatever the surface the phone is on.

The texture is really nice - hard to describe - slightly sandpaperish, but at like 2000 grit - like the wet sandpaper one uses on the polish of a car, mixed with a silky feeling. Like matte graphite - or the surface of a carbon bike frame. Gives a really solid contact - the case is very unlikely to slip from the hand.

The wait sucked, and I paid for overnight shipping so feel kind of ripped off - but the case is sweet and it was worth it to have something so thin.

I also ordered the peel glass screen protector and it makes a nice compliment to the case. It doesn't have as much of an edge to it as the other I was using (less curve) and I'm not certain I like that. The other screen protector I was using worked fine with the case, so may go back to it.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] rhug0323:
I have the Nillkin and the Ringke. I had the Nillkin first and it was great except for the top and bottom opening. I was self conscious about it every time I held it. The case was pretty grippy though. The white Ringke is super slippery, but covers all the edges. The black one is fine, but not as grippy as the Nillkin.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] def-g:
How are the buttons? I got the Tuff Armor and the buttons are terrible. Have to push mad hard to activate them.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] IndyRoadie:
I have the same case, but the back on mine looks like a rougher texture. One of the best "budget" cases I have ever used.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] denism81:
I find it very slippery, the phone has more grip than the Case. At least it's well protected!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] xunholyx:
The buttons are fine, and the edge squeeze function works well also.

EDIT: I notice you are from Canada now. Telus stores sell the Thin Armor case. I think it was $40

EDIT #2: https://www.telus.com/en/bc/mobility/accessories/product/spigen-slim-armor-pixel-2-xl-case
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] IndyRoadie:
Maybe that's why the version I have has a rough textured back. But yeah, it feels very well protected. I dont expect that hinge on the stand to last long though

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75125251&postcount=873

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] madscribblerz:
For those who have been asking the difference between the peel and MNML cases - the answer is there is literally no difference at all. They are the exact same width, exactly the same cutouts, exactly the same coverage, and exactly the same rise for the camera.

I was having problems with my scosche magnetic mount (and phone mounted plate) with the peel - I place my phone landscape and have the plate toward the bottom of the phone so the mount sits 1/3 the way along the phone. With the texture of the peel hitting bumps in the car would cause the cantilever side of the phone to drop - so the phone would rotate from horizontal.

I got the MNML hoping it will solve the problem. It feels to be the same texture as the peel, so I suspect the MNML will have the same issue.

My spigen thin doesn't have the problem.

Got my Ringke slim yesterday. So far pretty standard thin PC case with some nice features. There's a soft grip coating on it. Much better than the Mofi case coating. The bottom corners have slots in them to prevent them from cracking. Also makes them easier to get the case on and off. If you have the fusion it also has the raised lip for the screen only on the top and bottom of the device not the sides which I like. Around the camera is raised to protect the lens.
