Diztronic! New favorite! Was using Spiegen Rugged Armor which is awesome too. Comparing:

Diztronic is a bit less bulky (maybe less protection) perfect for me. Less flashy without the carbon accents. Just looks and feels more conservative. Buttons a bit better. Perfect front lip. Edges have more edges for better grip. More grippy material. Makes device feel more solid.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] mslam02:
Could you post a pic with the phone next to the case to show how much thickness the case adds? I feel like these cases look thick and I dont want a case thats too bulky - but I love carved cases... I wish they would produce the slim versions for our phones...

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] lioryte:
Well, it ain't no mnml case. However, it doesn't feel bulky to me because the side grips are so good the phone never rests on the palm, and also because the whole thing is nicely curved and has a minimal almost non existent lip. So it is kinda bulky, but I don't feel it.

First case I got was the Speck Presidio clear. Obviously I wanted a clear case to show off the sexy and I never had a Speck. Heard they were the best of the best of the best. The exterior is kind of rigid, but still pliable. The inside has a thin layer of a shock absorption material. Feels a little rubbery. Overall, not too bad. Then I seen a Youtube video about the Ghostek Atomic slim for a different phone. I thought it was extra dope, which meant that I wouldn't be able to get one for my phone. Checked the website to see what they had, and to my surprise, they had one for the regular Pixel. Sent them an email asking about the 2xl, and they said yep. The cases are roughly the same size which is surprising. I must say, I think the Ghostek is probably my favorite phone case ever. The Ringke Max that I had for my Nexus 6 was probably a close second. It's two layered, with the exterior being aluminium. The back is clear so I can still see the sexy. Had it on for roughly a week or so, I doubt I go back to the speck.

I'm using this right now. Google Pixel 2 XL Case,Newseego Armor Dual Layer 2 in 1 with Extreme Heavy Duty Protection and Finger Ring Holder Kickstand Fit Magnetic Car mount for Google Pixel 2 XL-Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0774KRTHS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_LPxfAbZEZME84

Lip barely comes above screen, so very little face protection. Edge squeeze still works great. Metal plate came off the back, had to super glue it back on. Magnetic contact point is very small and came off my mount when going through a roundabout. Still fits in my holster.

Edit, noticed the volume down button is constantly pressed while in the holster. I'll have to do some modifications to my holster.

I have a Caseology Parralax case for the 2 XL that I'm looking to sell. I bought it right after the launch, but by the time I actually received the phone I had passed the return window. I ended up going with another case instead.

Hey guys, so I've bought 2 cases now and neither is hitting the perfect spot for what I'm looking for. I used to buy cruzerlite bugdroid cases for reference, and tried out this one first:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B075SYVV3M

This this one:

https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32839456556.html?spm=a2g0n.orderList.0.0.7d0472709R84Ub#autostay

The first was perfect almost but my popsocket didn't stick to the back due to the bumpy texture, and the second was perfect almost (and super thin) but doesn't have a lip going above the screen. Does anyone know a case that would fit my needs? The thinner the better and I'm looking at exclusively TPU cases, just needs a slight lip to protect the screen. Diztronic seems like the only one that might work :(

I bought pretty much every single clear TPU case on Amazon, including Spigen's liquid crystal, and the MNML case.

For all the generic clear TPU cases, they're all exactly the same except some has their own on certain locations. None of them has a lip that is taller than the screen. No need to waste money and time trying those out, just get the following, which is the cheapest:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074T7KGK2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

For the Spigen Liquid Crystal, it has a lip that is taller than the screen. Though, it's much thicker than I like it to be.

As for MNML case, it's so thin, it's almost no different than the skin. Was able to put up with the lack of lip and the white color instead of clear, but the camera protrudes out of the case.

I have the Ghostek Covert 2 case. Clear with black bumpers using on the all black pixel. Good case. Easy on and off. Bumper support on corners. Added grip on the side and back of phone. Only issue I have is the hole for the charging cable only fits stock charger. Aftermarket charging cables won't go all the way it as it's a tighter fit. So I had to do some modifications but after using a Incipio, ringke bevel, the Ghostek is still my favorite case.

I use the OtterBox defender. It kept my Galaxy s4 alive for 4 yrs. St that time the OtterBox was the go to. Now I go into these threads and they're barely mentioned. I was hesitant when I found out how the phone is upside down on your right hip, but I just wear in on my left hip now. Literally no "adjustment period." No inconvenience at all.

I don't get the point of these other cases that are stiff, thin, or completely enclosed so the mic is covered and you sound like a robot on speaker phone in a large room when you call someone **cough** LifeProof **cough**.

I think the defender is a no brainier and I constantly recommend it. It's thin. It gives grip. Most of all it gives protection. Idk any other reason to put a case on besides that.

i had one on my gs4, now have one on my 2xl, and made my wife get one for her note 8. i am a farmer, redo cars, and work in machining environments. the defender kept the gs4 alive through 4 yrs of it .

Does anyone make a decent all white case? I've looked, but can't find anything. I don't want a super thin case, so MNML and other similar styles are out of the question.

A TPU case that isn't overly thick, adds some drop protection, has a raised lip at the screen for additional protection, and white in color. Is that too much to ask?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stickperson:
I haven't used a case or skin in years because I just hate the bulk they add. For slimmer cases/skins, do they actually help prevent the screen from cracking if you drop the phone? I've always thought that if you drop a phone on its back (whether naked or with a case) it probably won't crack, but if you drop it on its face a thin case won't help.

Thoughts?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
It probably won't crack the screen if you drop it on the back but you have no control on how it'll land. Don't take the chance. Protect you $850+ investment. I go caseless at home to enjoy the feel but always have a case outside.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] corywf:
I ordered one too. Way slimmer than the TPU/hardback case I was using. It will provide about 0 protection in a fall but I'm willing to risk it.

I know I'm not supposed to cross-post.....so ignore my post in the case/holster combo thread. I think this is important enough to post in both threads due to the nature of this issue.

WARNING REGARDING SEIDIO SURFACE CASE!!!:

I've owned a few Seidio Surface cases over the years, LOVE THEM, and I didn't even consider anything else. I've made positive posts about them on xda. Ordered it the same day as my new Pixel 2 XL. They both arrived two days ago.

I didn't even put in the SIM or boot up the phone before I tried the case on it. My old (and dead) Nexus 6P had the same rubber insert with plastic outer case configuration, and this was the same. Put on the rubber insert, fit well. Went to put on the outer case......and it took some work to get it on. I eventually got it on, but could not get it to close all the way and there was a gap of a couple millimeters showing white plastic (on a red case!!!???) at the gap. I absolutely could not get it all the way closed. I figured I would sort it out later, but I wanted to clean flash the most recent image (phone came with September image) and insert the SIM to make calls.

So I went to take off the case. I could not take off the case for 30 minutes. We're talking big-muscular-weightlifter-now-sweating attempts. I am not a small or weak guy.

30 minutes into my attempts to remove the case I messaged Seidio's help desk and their reply was "We are sorry to hear about the issue you are having with the case. The case is meant to have a tight fit so it does not fall off on impact of a drop. Make sure you are pressing down on half the case and pulling apart." They also marked the ticket as closed because my issue was solved.

After a total of 90 minutes of sweating frustration, I took the flat edge of a dinner knife and inserted it in the gap and attempted to pry it open.....no go. I finally resorted to cutting off the case to recover my phone as there was no other way to do it.

I have contacted Seidio for an RMA and I will post their response here. The episode was disturbing enough with my new $900+ phone that I do not want to risk trying a replacement case unless they have re-engineered the case. I was lucky I didn't damage my phone in the process. I asked for a full refund.

If anyone else has a Surface case, I'd love to hear about your experience.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] psklenar:
Pig Vomit,

Either you got a defective piece or i got a miracle piece. Mine went on just as easily as earlier models had on my prior phones. The seam between the halves is paper thin, I can't even wedge a fingernail between them without depressing the marked spot on the back. Once I depress that spot however, the halves of the outer case part without issue. Note, they *are* tight on the TPU inner case, but with minor effort, they do slide off.

And, unlike the early Nexus 6P cases, they put the easel stand on facing the right way this time. :)
