Which cases are environmentally friendly? It is hard to tell if TPU cases utilize bio-based TPU, if common consumer recycling services accept TPU, and if the Google Fabric cases (with polycarbonate cores) are environmentally friendly.

By environmentally friendly, I at least mean: (a) the materials have a zero to low impact on the environment (b) the manufacturing has a zero to low impact on the environment (c) it is easily recyclable or biodegradable in a short time and (d) has a zero to low greenhouse gas footprint.

I ordered the Moment Photo Case. Really don't have any plans to get one of their len's but I really liked the case. I got the Black on which has a black canvas on the back which would make it easier to hold. It also has a lanyard strap point which allows you use a lanyard and not drop the phone.

I ordered from amazon and found that the color links went the wrong model. black ordered the walnut case and walnut ordered the black. Contacted the seller and they fixed it. Shipping out today.

This looks very similar to the Spigen case that I ordered.

https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Rugge...qid=1508256014&sr=1-2&keywords=spigen+pixel+2

I also ordered this red case which is similar to the above cases, compared to the Spigen case it is flimsy and cheap looking. The Spigen case offers more protection and flexible button controls. I weighed them, the Spigen was 32 grams and the no name red cover was 27 grams.

I got one case in so far, the Maxboost thin case from amazon. It is very thin and rigid, it will do until I get my hands on a Diztronic. My phone is supposed to ship today, Oct. 17, but the day is going fast so I am loosing hope that it actually will, but at least I have a case ready for when it does get here.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] eevanskiteboards:
I just received two cases today from amazon($8) and wanted to share my immediate thoughts to those who are interested. I have photos of both, but i dont know how to upload, sorry.

first one:

http://a.co/0RYxgpq

This one feels like solid thin plastic that might break easy with a drop and has zero flexibility. It has good reviews, so this is just my humble opinion.

second:

http://a.co/io0QBl3

I like this one more due to the fact that it very flexible and lots of cushion due to its silicon design. It might be a pain to insert/remove from a pocket, but i feel as if i drop my phone it will do a good job of shock absorption.

I think i am going to try to order the spigen case also and make a final decision from there.

Has anyone seen a 2 part snap case yet?

Similar to: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Multicolor-Plastic-HARD-Snap-On-Cover-Case-For-Cell-Phone/302044823509

I can find plenty of one piece snap ones, but none that have the 2 part snap. I hate all TPU cases, always have.

I have used these on all my phones for years as they are light, provide good protection from a drop and give a lip that you can set the phone screen down and not worry about it getting scratched. The only issues with these cases is the color will start to chip off after 6months or so, but at normally less then $5, I order a couple of them and when it chips get bad enough, I throw it away and use a new one.

Thanks

Pixel 2 arrived today! Had my case ready to be put on.

It might seem shilly for me to post a case review as my first post on the forum but believe me when I say this.. I'm posting this to help some Pixel 2 owners as when I pre-ordered the phone I found it damn impossible to find a case for this phone!

I have attached some pictures for you guys you judge, it really is best bang for you buck.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Google-Pi...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

It's only £5.99 which is great considering it has a hard back. The fit is perfect and the cut outs are not rough like some other ones I have had for past generation pixels. Definitely try this case out if you have a chance because it won't disappoint you.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] krelvinaz:
Moment Black textured case.

My moment case a day after I got my phone. In the mean time I had a minimum cheap case as I knew the phone would be slippery.

One thing I was wondering was what it looked like in the front as they didn't show the front in their advertising. After I got it, it was clear why, there is really nothing to show. It has a simple ridge around the edge most of the way around with it dropping off near the bottom. No issues what so ever with plugging in the USB-C and of course no headphone jack makes that issue mute.

The textured back however it pretty cool. It really doesn't feel like fabric, more like hard plastic but it is a fabric just not padding.

Easy to hold and no image or screen blocking.

The cut outs for the fingerprint scanner actually make it easy to find than without the case. Camera is not blocked at all.

The case is actually designed to allow for installation of their external lenses but I really don't have any plans to do that. It does have lanyard slots in the bottom of the case where you could put a lanyard or strap for drop security. Makes it easier to take pictures one handed.

They offer a black case which I got and a wood grain case.

Does anyone yet have the Mnml case? I'm thinking about picking one up, but can't tell if the case covers the power/volume buttons or leaves them exposed. Also curious if case is thicker than camera bump, and if there's enough of a ridge on the front to keep the screen raised from a surface if laying face down.

Great list, OP!
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] iazybandit:
Taking a look at other MNML cases on your tube would give you an idea. The buttons look to be exposed and the camera may be flush with the case. The case will probably prevent the case from touching the surface just a little based on the thickness of the cases.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] pdubcramp:
Did you get this one yet? How do you like it?
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] superleeds27:
Quite annoyed with MNML

Bought a case off their website, for roughly £21. Just seen that they're available on Amazon UK for £15 and eligible for Prime.

Will be dropping them an email.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] mrdoug:
Got the case last night. Waiting for the phone, due today. The case seems kinda cheap. The "leather" looking part looks nothing like leather in person. Its fairly stiff and thin and cheap. I most certainly won't use it for long. Planning to invest in the Spigen Neo Hybrid when it releases (end of October?).
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] pdubcramp:
Thanks. Is it so stiff that it might damage the phone?

Mine comes tomorrow, will use it to tie me over as well.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] _jfo_:
I tried out the tech 21 Evo check case and it seemed decently protective but also a little too grippy for my taste. Ended up returning that one due to the feel and also some concern about discoloration in the long term.

Have since purchased the speck presidio grip in black and absolutely love it. It doesn't seem to add too much bulk, but also seems very protective.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] ErikFry:
I bought the made by Google fabric case at the Verizon store. It matches the neon blue power button on my model also which is neat.

There is a 1mm front facing lip around the whole phone except near the charging port. The inside is microfiber and feels nice.

Durability/drop protection is maybe 7/10. With OtterBox defender or lifeproof being a 10. It will definitely survive knee high drops onto hard surfaces everytime. Waist high drops will survive 80% of the time, the screen is vulnerable, so I would recommend a tempered glass screen protector with this case and you'll have a perfect mix of form and function!

My only concern is the fabric staining over time from oils.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] superleeds27:
MNML from Amazon arrived today.

Perfect!
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] mrdoug:
After using it for a bit, I realized it does NOT give you much of any protection for the screen. The lip it adds is almost non-existent. Will be super easy to still scratch the screen on a surface when putting the phone face down. Mines going back (along with the phone ).
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] pdubcramp:
Bummer. I was hoping that lip comment only applied to the XL with the rounded edges. I'm sure I'll be returning mine too then. Not the phone though, I like the 2.

Good luck with your next phone!
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] powerdoesntrun:
I just got my Smoke Black Ringke Bevel and I like it way more than the Fusion. Better grip, fewer fingerprints, easier to press buttons, and it's actually thinner. And the back isn't as ugly as I thought it would be. It's actually pretty nice. Though the back does feel a bit odd because it's not uniform, but that's by design. I recommend it!
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] pdubcramp:
Just to be clear, were you using a Pixel 2 or 2 XL? I got the case and there is enough of a lip to protect the screen on the Pixel 2 (non-XL) when face down. I don't mind this case for the price. Although it does make the fingerprint sensor a tad harder to access. But that's all cases.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] giant22000:
Just purchased this case to go along with a fitbag.

It was a pixel 2 (NON xl). I could have very well gotten a factory dud. It did have a lip, just so tiny that the screen still could touch with the motion of putting it down.

I am happy yours came in in better shape. I absolutely hate the process of returns, as most people do. Mine would have had to go back anyway... I returned the phone.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] cap1tal1sm:
Definitely going with case, after a lot of analysis this is the best bang for your buck.

Do you have a kitchen scale that could weight it in grams? I'm going for a light case.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] fitchpuckman:
Bought the MNML case, but returning. It was crazy thin and light...lived up to its name. But was very slick and lacked any kind of protection for the screen or, really, anything around the front edges. Perfect if you want ultra minimal, but in the end I found it really wouldn't do literally anything for me besides some basic scratch protection, and that's just not quite enough to justify $15. Would be better off going straight to a skin if you only want scratch protection. Probably sticking with my meh Maxboost mSnap until the Diztronic comes out and just play it safe there.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] thesebastian:
Pixel 2 is slippery as hell. I ordered a Ringke Fusion Smoke Black and will arrive on Friday.

I'm still open to other options to add good grip to the phone.

Shall I try DBRAND Dragon skin? it's a pity to put a case or a skin over the black glass

But it's also a pity to put a case and maybe affect the 2.5D front glass.

I just want to share my experiences so far.

1. Started with a noname case from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075GNYR2Q/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) . It was alright. Medium bulk. No major complaints but I just didn't like it.

2. Got the Ringke Bevel (smoke). It's descent. More minimal than the pictures look. Nice grip

3. Got the Ringke Fusion (smoke). Slightly thinner TPU back which was nice for the fingerprint reader. A little thicker / better drop protection on the corners. My only issues with this one is it's slippery and fingerprints show very easily.

4. Picked up the Speck Presidio Grip on *sale* at Target yesterday. $27.99 plus tax. I've always liked these cases. A little more bulky than either Ringke but protection and grip is fantastic. I'm really happy with this one. Only issue is it sucks to put it in your pocket and pull it out. The rubber really grips. I knew that from owning this case on other phones so I'm good with that compromise.

Pixel 2 link (2 XL is available as well if you search):

https://www.target.com/p/speck-google-pixel-2-case-presidio-grip-black/-/A-52962973#lnk=sametab

Also: I order the Incipio fabric case from Best Buy. I have not received it yet. The grey is only $20 (blue is the regular price $34). I know Incipio had a halloween sale yesterday but I went with Best Buy so I can return it.

Not recommend the official leather case from Bellroy, the volume button was hide in the slots and the bottom of the case is wide open which I don't like. and only the back feels like leather not the frame. Not worth for 40 bucks, folks

I just preordered a case from Peel. I think you can use the following link for a discount if you want: http://fbuy.me/gVaaa
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] gogol:
Nice, please make some review later. From what I read, in the past Peel was the same as MNML.

I have MNML and it is super thin minimalist, but that's all. No bump on the camera to protect the lens, but it has bump on the fingerprint reader. The buttons cutout are very precise, that is good but that also makes it difficult to press.

I don't think I can recommend MNML based on those.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] nizarnoor:
I do have a MNML case as well. And yeah it looks and feels just like cases from Peel. I've been using Peel for a couple of years now. It's solid enough to protect my iPhone 6S from several drops (mainly from treadmill, hitting the treadmill then to the gym floor). I don't find the buttons hard to press at all. They are obviously not as raised compared to without the case, but I can still press them easily (unlike Bellroy leather cases). So I don't mind it at all.

I heard Peel is making some adjustments and theirs is going to have a bump around the camera instead of the fingerprint scanner. We'll see if that's true or not.

If you want a case that protects from drops a lot more reliably, and don't mind the bulk, I think you should get something else. But if you think you only need a slight protection from scratches, maybe some tiny bumps, and you care a lot about the feeling of the phone without any cases (you don't want added bulk) - then this is it.

Here is the UAG Urban Armor Gear Pixel 2 case in the Ice color. The screen protector is a PhantomSkinz case cut version and the two work perfectly together. I have been using UAG cases on the last several phones and love their design. Protection is top notch all around with a lip to protect the screen, buttons are a close to flush with the case unlike with my UAG S7 case they were raised more. Let's talk about the feel of the case, unless you have used a UAG case before you don't know what you are missing...OUTSTANDING grip and gives a great feeling of security when handling the phone. Despite the protection this case offers there is minimal bulk added to the phone, nothing like an Otterbox or any 2 piece Hybrid case design. The UAG case is worth the cost and I will buy another color if/when they become available.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] luizffgarcia:
I got the MNML for my Pixel 2 and i was surprised on how thin it is. I never use cases in my phones because i am very careful, but this thing is just perfect and i am glad i tried it.

If you just want some scratch protection this is the perfect case, and i think it looks better than a skin because of the round edges, no skin will be 100% and this case is.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] thesebastian:
Ringke fusion smoke black arrived:

This is the only case I've used so far. I just wanted to add grip and this case gives enough grip to use the phone with one hand while walking without major fears of dropping it.

Another good thing is the buttons. They are very clickable with the case. I won't miss the original buttons under the case because case buttons are maybe even better and easier to click.
