so i put the casology vault on the pixel XL. it's a super nice case but, for me, it's way too thick. if you want a good looking TPU case that appears to have good protective qualities (based on it's thickness), this is a great case option. it's just not for me... i'm looking for something thinner.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ak47nerd:
I came to the same conclusion. It was way too thick for my liking. I have a magnetic car mount that I placed between the case and the phone, and the phone kept slipping down with every little bump on the road.

I returned my Vault case and bought Google's Fabric Case from Verizon this morning. Definitely more of my forte in terms of thinness, even though its $40. I love how it feels in the hand, and it doesn't slip down with every bump.

Oh how I wish Nillkin would make this case again for the Pixel 2 XL - loved it on my 1st gen XL. https://www.amazon.com/Google-Nillkin-Slipping-fingerprints-Frosted/dp/B01MQGZIE8
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] davidcw6:
I might just have to get something bad until late November then. My phone is coming next week and just know I need something. Just worried that it'll break before I get a good case. Especially with the results of the bend and scratch test.

Would definitely be nice to have holsters broken out in this thread or another though.

You know, everyone was so wound up about that stuff with the 6P. I know 6 folks personally with the 6P and not one of them had those issues. Don't fret.

I have the Caseology Vault case for now, and will, begrudgingly, hold it in a pocket until my temp holster shows up.

https://www.amazon.com/Caseology-Pr...extured/dp/B075RVL499?ref_=pe_623860_70668670

With any luck, we'll find a holster that will fit these cases.

I've been thinking about just getting a case I like and getting one of those leather slip in holsters.

Thank you.

This is the one I ordered from the Google store, and it looks like what I had on my XL!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] lioryte:
Careful with ordering a custom live case from Google. Got the $50 one, the front (back) looks ok, the sides...looks like a 3rd grade science project
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] CapnShiner:
I suggest either the Liquid Crystal or Crystal Shell from Spigen. I have the Crystal Shell on my XL right now and I love it. As far as I can tell, the only difference between the two cases is that the Crystal Shell has reinforced bumpers on the corners. I prefer the Crystal Shell because the corners are nice and grippy and I think it's better drop protection. $10 price difference though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] crackpot:
I currently have my 2XL in an Otterbox defender. I love the case but if you wear your phone on your right hip like I do then you have to flip the holster upside down due to where the clip is. Spoke with Otterbox and they have no intention to make another holster for it.

I reached out to Supcase and they will be making a case/holster combo, but the person couldn't say if it would be the UB Pro, nor a time line.

Finally reached out to i-Blason to see about their Armorbox, my preferred XL case/holster, but I haven't heard back from them.

In the meantime I'm using the Otterbox Defender with Skinomi TechSkin Case Friendly screen protector and the phone feels great. I have a Caseology Vault and generic "leather" holster coming Sunday, so I'll report my results then.

Has anyone had a hands on with the Bellroy Leather case on the Google Store? Thinking about pulling the trigger on it to use with the generic holster.

For those that preordered or are considering Google's Fabric Case, this person on Reddit says that when recording video with the case on, the mics picks up the sound of his finger rubbing across the fabric, which makes the sound worthless. I've tried and confirmed it myself.

For those that don't take videos, it might not be such a big deal for you. I'm gonna return my case tomorrow and order a cheap case until Spigen can ship my Liquid Crystal out.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] seanpat05:
I bought the grey Google fabric case for my black Pixel 2 XL. It complements the color of my phone perfectly.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whyme45125:
I'm going that route. The photos/videos shown are absolutely amazing. Only thing I wonder about is the pixel sensors and/or flash being blocked by their lens itself? I'll still give it a go when my P2XL arrives.

Also grabbing one of these for switching it up periodically.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bsweetness:
Definitely looks like the lenses will block the autofocus sensors and flash, but I don't think either is much of a problem considering what the lenses they offer are intended to do. Tap to focus will get you far more precise shots, especially with the macro and 2x lenses. When it comes to using the flash, it likely won't cover all of a wide angle shot, might not reach a subject further away with the 2x lens, and can easily wash things out in a macro.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] whyme45125:
My thoughts exactly, the flash being useless with telephoto lens on a subject farther away and the lens doing the "work" with regards to zoom and focus. Honestly, considering how amazing the stock pictures are they can only get better with the lenses, I'll be pre-ordering moment case and lens this coming week. :D
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
Personally.. I didn't like it.. I have the case. But the phone yet.. I just hate the buttons being flush.. Annnnnd the camera cut out is so ugly

Just sharing this about spigen thin fit..

2- really, spigen left the top and the bottom open..

That's the case I got. It's ok. I feel like it's adding too much to the width of the phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] phamine:
Can you lay it face down? Does it sit on the glass or the case?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
Majority if not all of the cases now have a lip on it. So the screen is never touching any surface.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bkdodger:
It's enough lip to lay without touching glass.. very minimal though I wouldn't go slamming it haha

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Anaelith:
Is the plastic part of Seidio cases still as thick as before they started the TPU liner? I feel like this phone could use one of those, especially after seeing the durability reviews...... (Or another case just like the old Seidio cases, the kind where you could bludgeon someone with your phone and know that your phone would be fine, back when phones were super fragile.)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stumpy352:
Where have you seen a durability review of the xl?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] SmartBrother90:
Have the same case also. Im not sure how i feel about it. Its very grippy which is good but makes the phone so wide almost feels like a note 8 in hand. This would probably be perfect for the smaller pixel. I need something like the spigen liquid air armor. Waiting on my griffin survivor to arrive
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] smallsmx301:
The pixel 2 XL isn't really that narrow. It's just as wide as the OG pixel
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] SmartBrother90:
Yea i know. Forgot to quote the post i was replying to but i was referring to the Caseology Parallax. Nice case. It just makes the phone really feel wide. big difference without it.

That's what I need something, something slim. Sad that it doesn't look like spigen is going to make a liquid air for the phone.

Are we talking about the same Surface case and holster that I linked to? That one most definitely clips in at the top of the phone case with no sliding in at all.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] uicnren:

I carry my phone(s) horizontally, not vertically.

rotating the the holster 90° puts the clip on one end, which I cannot stand.

Did the pink glitter one have the same finish?

Also received two Case-Mate cases today. Cases

Unfortunately, no phone to put them on.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] JimSmith94:
Then why were you complaining about the phone sliding into their holster? :confused: You said you have used their cases in the past, and maybe for some phones they do clip from the side, but the three I have used on Google phones and the fourth I will get for my Pixel 2XL all clip to the top of the phone. Buy and use whatever you want, but please don't make false and misleading statements.

I carry my phone horizontally in the holster as well and it is very natural for me to release the clip with one finger at the front and pick up the phone in one motion.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] uicnren:
I didn't make any false or misleading statement. what the hell are you talking about.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] rbsummers:
I would say it is slightly thicker and sturdier than the clear case that came with the original Pixel XL that I had. I like the fit and feel of it. It does come just slightly above the screen on the edges, so that when you lay it face down, it rests on the case, not the screen. The 5th picture in the Amazon listing shows it as a 1mm clearance.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] princeplanet:
It has a grippy feel, although I don't have the phone yet. The ridges help. It's also thin.

I am pretty good about not dropping the phone, so I may end up using this one. Otherwise, it may not offer too much protection.

This is for the Ringke
