Since now 4 weeks after i installed a new ROM i can't connect to MSN via wiondows live messenger mobile anymore..... i tried 3 accounts, but the same problem with all of them..... I also tried 4 different ROMs, with no sucess.....

Is something wrong with the microsoft msn servers? Because imov and eBuddy can connect me to messenger, but windows live mobile doesn't (with desktop windows live messenger everything is fine also)

Please tell me what to do if you know something, because live messenger is much more comfortable than iMov.....(and i only need MSN network....)

thanks!

Guys... Where on earth is our NFC antenna allocated? I've tried to connect various types of NFC stuff with zero success. Relp :3
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] sascha__w:
The sensor is on backside on top of the Camara. U see a black point. When u don't have the original cover for the phone you can try without cover. The original cover is open on this place.

If it is not working is it maybe defect. I have the same problem with the mate 8. So it was in service, after service it works.

Now I have mate 9. Is much better.

Where is NFC antenna? It is on the motherboard or on back cover? My phone can interact with payment terminals but don't react to any bank cards. I think it's NFC antenna failure but I can't find it.

Thanks for sharing this amazing links of cases. What about Tech21 ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
According to their site, they will have cases. I couldn't find it on Amazon. I have updated the first link with it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] FlyOnTheWall43:
Are any of these belt clip style?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iazybandit:
Seidio I know will have belt clips. I will probably get a Caseology Parallax and just buy the holster.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] fergdizzle9090:
Really hoping Diztronic releases one at launch for the the XL. By far my favorite case brand

Great thread to centralize all the cases for the new Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. I came across the Ringke Fusion one on Amazon:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] greencat2:

I'm going with the Spigen Rugged Armor case. I have that case for my Pixel XL, and it provides just the right amount of protection while keeping the phone slim and attractive looking.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] yourmghq:
Does anyone have any experience with dbrand skins and rhinoshield crash guard bumper case? Do they generally work well with one another
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] SpaceGooner:
It's pretty slim for a fusion case, but not as slim as a thin clear case.

I had the rinke fusion on my oneplus3 and pixel XL. It's a nice case in may ways, but the shiny, smooth clear plastic back means it's one of the greatest fingerprint magnets on earth and usually ends up looking crap. I got bored of cleaning it and wiping it all time, so I replaced it with an Incipio octane, which has a frosted clear back that does not pick up fingerprints. The Rinke is slimmer than the incipio, but you should get better drop protection with the octane.

Why can't case manufacturers offer fusion cases with a matt finish on the clear back? Sure, a smooth finish shows off the phone better, but only if you hold it with gloves. Maybe it's just me that thinks this way!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] DaX05:
Nice List of cases. Can you also add some tempered glass listings for the Picks 2 XL as well? Thanks, mate.

Will be looking for a thin clear case like the one Google made for the first Pixel XL...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Scottay5150:
Are the dBrand skins worth it, durable?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] st3ph3nbr!tt:
Waiting to find out about the UB Pro. Really nice case with holster. I already checked out the OtterBox Defender. They offset the holster's clip (the part that snaps the phone in) in the opposite direction on this model for some reason. Meaning I have to wear it on my left side, upside down, or spin the phone 180° to snap it into the holster. Not gonna happen. Looking for a different solution.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] mtl171:
I'm going with the Google fabric case in midnight. Something about how different it looks and the novelty draws me to it.

Depends on what you mean by durable. I had one on my 6p and did a great job holding up against scratches/scuffs while making it more grippy (CF textured vinyl). However, at the end of the day, its still a piece of vinyl so it wont do much for drop protection.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Scottay5150:
Is there a better no case grippier option?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Can we get the list split up a bit by type? Holster/Belt Clip, Thin, 2 Layer, etc?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] smallsmx301:
That's a good thing in my opinion. Any thin case I've ever had has always cracked in the corners from taking them off and on.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] oneandroidnut:
Had for my pixel XL and was legit. Will be getting for xl 2 and maybe my note
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] js042507:
I apologize if this topic has already been discussed, I browsed a little bit through the forums, but there is too much to read. LOL. Anyways, has anybody confirmed which cases for the XL do not have a lip/bump on the sides? And only on the corners? For instance, this phone is curved and I really like some of the cases that were made for the S8, which don't take away from the screen-to-body ratio. All of the major brands appear to have the standard 'bump' going around the entire edge for the XL. Also, I really really want the speck grip, but this one appears to have standard raised edges as well. The Spigen thin might be my best bet, but no grip. Anyone?

EDIT: I'm dumb. The only major brands I didn't look at, OtterBox, has a case like this. Sweet! Looks like I'm leaning towards this one.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bajasur:
Your probably right... Google cannot get these launches right..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Toothdock:
Was it as bulky as it looks? Looks like something that might not even fit in my pocket.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Deeco7:
All these cases are butt ugly, why can't manufacturers make a decent case? Yeh, the device is new, but it's becoming a trend
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] .hEiMDaLL.:
It measures 8.4 x 1.3 x 16.3 cm... Weight about 100 gramms. A price to pay for a handmade leather case. I don't like those (half/back) plastic covers or PU leather cases...

But to answer your question: it fits in my back pocket ;)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Toothdock:
I ordered one this morning. It's gonna take me a while to figure out the real case/screen protector I want so I think that will do in the meantime and I'll finally get to test out having a wallet case.

I ordered slickwraps that weekend, no update on those either
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sacchypon:
I'm a sucker for Case-Mate's cases. I had the Naked Tough for my Nexus 6P and loved how it showed the phone off. I will say it's a little slippery at times so I use it every so often. Nonetheless, I'll be ordering a case from them for when I feel fancy.

I've also got my eyes on a Carved case and one from Speck as well.

For something more immediate, I did get one of the cloth cases from Google (that sadly arrives well before the phone).

The new live cases with the dual-layer protection seem nice. Definitely going to look into purchasing one of those as well.

Kugi Case

I picked up a case from Amazon so I'll have something when my phone arrives. It's a low profile TPU case that should provide enough protection for my new phone until more cases are available and reviewed. For under $8, I'm impressed, not planning on using it for too long though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ProAm500:
I've been looking at the Navy one. Be interested to see what this looks like when you get the phone in.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] js042507:
Man, that's the case I really want, but it seems to have some pretty sizeable lips on the sides. Does this take away from the curved screen? Having the sides not recessed I mean, does this case make it feel like the phone is "boxed in"?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] gwstmar:
Not really. You can still feel the curve of the display. Verizon would let you put it on your phone to try it.

I was originally waiting for a Supcase Unicorn Beetle case to become available, but i have changed my mind. Im going with a Dbrand skin and a Rhinoshield.

Anyone else planning to run a skin? If so, which case did you get to show it off?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] sitnlow4life:
Just received shipping confirmation from Dbrand .

They are shipping USPS which is interesting to me ...

Maybe they drive across the border and shipped from Buffalo or something to speed up process ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bkrickles:
+1 on the rhinoshield.

Had to wait a little bit for it when I got the 6P so hopefully they get one built quicker this time.

Still rocking it on my 6p until hopefully next week when I should have my 2 xl.

Bought a caseology case for the interim real cheap and that should hold me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] fergdizzle9090:
my rhino shield completely fell apart. Their support said it had free lifetime warranty, and then said it would be $10 to get a replacement because of shipping... even though a new one cost $10 too... it was clearly to cover the cost of the warranty replacement. just fyi for anyone out there
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Looks like VRS has some coming out too.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] bkrickles:
The rhinoshield bumper? It was $25 originally and I'm not sure how it could fall apart. Absolutely great purchase
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] fergdizzle9090:
yeah, cracked on either side of the power button and usb port on my 6p. wouldnt fit tight so was useless at that point. it was sitting on my desk while i was working and heard a little pop and looked at it and saw it was broken. hopefully it was lemon since it lasted only like 6 months max.

Id be willing to give them another try down the line because i loved the case before it broke. the new dbrand one looks awful imo.

Just a heads up.. I ordered the Otterbox Symmetry for the P2XL and it is definitely going back.. I have one on the work iphone and it is ok - but on this, the buttons are so hard to push (Power/Volume) that you end up triggering the Assistant every time... no bueno -- oh plus, Its just flat out fugly... 2 cents...

Got ages to wait until my panda gets here, but want to make sure that the case is good (and clear, who the hell wants to hide the phone behind a case)! I was looking at the official ones, but as Google don't do a transparent one, they're out.

Looking for a clear case that's doesn't cover the buttons for my panda. Has anyone been able to find one yet? I have had no luck so far.

Waiting on this as well. Using a cheap TPU case in the meantime.

I'm also curious why the Slim Armor isn't showing up on Amazon yet. Spigen has it listed on their site. It's always more than a little ridiculous that the Slim Armor costs almost twice as much as the Tough Armor, but I'm a big fan of the slightly smaller footprint it provides.

Does that case fit correctly? It looks like it's too big for the phone. Looks like a significant gap on most of the sides especially the top. I hope not, cause I have the same case for my Pixel 2 XL, but I'm still waiting for my to ship.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Thanks for posting those, that looks great. I've got the same one waiting at home and just need a device to put in it. How do you like it so far?

BTW, try out XDA Labs, sooooo much better than Crapatalk. :good:

I'm so close to buying that sucker when it goes on sale at some point, but then I keep thinking of lugging the lenses around in my pocket. "Sir, what's that bulge in your pocket?"

Probably because of the curved edges. The gaps look weird to give enough room for the curved edges.

Otterbox, Seidio (currently working on it).

The iPhone 7 Plus is close in size so if you're not using a case (or if you are), you can find a holster that would fit.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] RED ZMAN:
I think we need to have a separate thread for the Holster style cases, as it'll just get buried in here.

I did post a few, there's the standard ugly one on Amazon...

https://www.amazon.com/Venoro-Holster-Defender-Protective-Kickstand/dp/B075G9MN5Z

^^^

I'll often buy this one when a new phone comes out just to have SOMETHING that works. This isn't a clip in version, it is slide in, so I'm skipping it.

... and then there's another one I posted a few days ago that I finally bought and should be arriving the first week of November. Got a shipping notice for it.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076D7PSRN/

^^^

This is a clip in style and looks better than the other one. Should get me by until some good ones are out.

I also have another thread going for the Zizo Wireless holster cases, so check that one out and try to get them to make one.

Seidio said they are putting theirs out in a few weeks, and Supcase said the Unicorn Beetle series will be out soon as well, but if their are still making them with the mushy sides, only the holster is worth buying (that's what I'm running on my 6P right now, the UB Holster with the Supcase Hybrid case, a tiny bit of adhesive foam in the corners of the holster makes it fit perfect).
