[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] xzr3b0rnzx:
no problem man, hopefully, it comes with a tempered glass protector.

because i have seen some reviews/unboxing on magcase for iphone 7, they did come with it.

fingers crossed!

update: no tempered glass included in package.. dang oh well
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Wilazn:
Wow. Really promising. **** it. Ordered.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
Ordered it since 10 days. But its not released yet or shipped.. I remember the 13th of this month was mentioned as a release day.. I tried it before with another device, very very slim but high quality.. Real carbon fiber.. Very minimal.. But very tough.. And it has the coils impeded for the magnet car holder..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] stetre76:
Found the case yesterday on the web by coincidence...as they offer free shipping also to Eureop, I've ordered one, as I am looking for a thin case. Also have a Spigen Thin Fit but the Spigen is probably not as durable as the Pitaka.

Now I only need a decent tempered glass for the Pixel 2XL and then I am ready to receive it next week.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Taebom:
I wonder if this case will work with a dbrand skin on?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] xzr3b0rnzx:
I assume it would because dbrand skin is literally a really thin piece of sticker but if u want to remove the case, u gotta remove it carefully as edges of the sticker is still protruding a just little.. well that's my guess
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ayce:
is the case thick enough to protect the camera lens?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
Thats a very good question, but they should have taken that in consideration, coz they did with there iPhone cases
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] machostallion:
When someone gets this case, please post some pics of the camera coverage and the sxreen/case edge areas. Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] galaxys:
Interesting, so this thin case has metal plates in it? I would not be using it in my car.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Nekromantik:
Will it interfere with NFC though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Wilazn:
Eh?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] xzr3b0rnzx:
No pixel nfc component is around the glass area of the phone but the metal is embedded around the middle area of the case.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] xzr3b0rnzx:
Yeah man I promised that I will update you on ur thread haha

It's there to make it compatible with their car mount but doesn't affect the thickness, flushed within the case
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Taebom:
Just asked them if it sits flush with camera lense and they said yes :/
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] theBeachBoy:
I'll wait for the review but I think MNML nailed it by raising the fingerprint sensor, effectively protecting the lens because of the angle it creates with the edge. Even though the case itself sits flush with the lens.

And it's really less expensive.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
As long as it protects the camera.. So am assuming its as think as the camera bump or so.. That fine with me.. But again will wait to see it in hand..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] aznriceballman:
I have measurements here showing its off centered. You can clearly see that in one picture, one side its 2mm and on the other side its 1mm. In the other picture you can see that its 2mm on one side and 1mm - 1.5mm on the other.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] aznriceballman:
Can you take a pic with a ruler like mine?

Just contact us if you have any unsatisfied points with PITAKA products. Our customer support team always there to help you. :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Pyr0x64:
I placed an order on the 21st Feb and it just arrived here at work (UK) today 2 days later :)

The fingerprint cut out looks centred to me and apart from a rough part at the side of the camera flash, the case seems really well made.

Now if only my screen protector could get here this quickly
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Ashley-PITAKA:
Wow, glad to hear that! ;)

We hope and need to ensure each customer to be satisfied with PITAKA like you, then we would be very happy every day.

Do you guys 100% need a screen protector for your phone? We are considering to provide screen protector for each Phone. ( We now only offer iPhone screen protector)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Pyr0x64:
For this 2XL phone and curved glass, I would only consider purchasing screen protectors with full face adhesive. LOCA preferably.

I didn't use one on my S7 edge and have zero scratches, but I've read that the glass on the 2 XL is softer/easier to scratch.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Ashley-PITAKA:
Thanks for your info. When you receive your screen protector, we would be appreciated if you can let us know any disadvantages, we would love to help develop the one which really helps resolve your concern points. ;)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] henderjr:
I've been using my Pitaka since November and love it. Enjoy the referral bonus too. I've received $20 back for referrals.

I recently ordered the InvisShield loca protector since it offers the most coverage for a loca protector. Should be a pretty good fit.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] xzr3b0rnzx:
same here i have exactly the same setup haha., ordered it since preorder and still loving it.

i am not interested in other kind of cases tbh. so this is a really good investment for me..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Ashley-PITAKA:
Wow, lucky to you! :highfive:

Your guys' kind words really encourage us a lot. Thank you !!!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] luigidk:
The invisishield fits great with this case. In my opinion the pitaka case with the invisishield tgsp is the ultimate solution.

Be sure to carefully watch the video for how to remove the bubbles.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] puertorecon:
All I have to say is,....Wow!!! This case is great. Fits perfectly. Very light in weight and very strong feeling. Also,...it has a grip feel to it. I love this case.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] luigidk:
Agreed.

Try it with the invisishield tgsp. Perfect
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iZack187:
Although this is the sexiest and thinnest case I have ever use... I dropped my phone from waist-level to the ground, and my phone cracked... I feel like the phone itself protected the case and not the other way around lol. Gorgeous and feels amazing, but completely useless in terms of protection.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] SFG:
That's a total bummer... After reading this, I looked for lcd/digitizer panels on eBay and they aren't cheap. Gonna wrap my phone in bubblewrap right now.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] luigidk:
I dont think that any thin case is meant to be for drop protection. Better said, when I buy a case, i consider thin cases to be for scratches and Minor dings and bangs, etc.

If i want serious drop protection, then that is a different case category.

Its a big part of the decision in what case to purchase.

I prefer thin cases but understand The risk.

I do believe pitaka is planning a protective case in the future.?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] iZack187:
That's the key right there, but a lot of people (me included) didn't make that assumption... Aesthetically-wise, nothing can beat a thin case, but expect next to zero drop protection. Worst part is, I usually have several cases, and use a tougher/thicker case when i go to events or parties... but i dropped the Pitaka in my own kitchen and the rest was history lol.

Otherwise, again, this was the most gorgeous case a phone could ever have in my opinion :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] SFG:
What's the point of starting a 2nd thread on the exact same product?

He was asking about a new case, MagCase Pro. Not released yet.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] SFG:
Person asks about the new unreleased model mentioned by a Pitaka rep on this thread and you share a link to another thread for the exact same product that this thread is covering. To top it off that other thread is just a ploy to get people to use its OPs referral code.

Are the pre-order up for pixel 2 XL
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] SFG:
My phone just told me that it's dying to test and review that badboy for you
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] rohit25:
Emailed you...though any ETA when we can expect the case... I am interested in testing or buying it in any given case....
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] gogol:
How is the grip of the case? Is it slippery like MNML or much better? How much better?

Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] xzr3b0rnzx:
I have not encountered with MNML cases, but they sure look like very cheap made in china quality but its pretty well made to be honest.

Speaking from my experience with the pitaka case, it has a matte and kinda like rubberized finish, so you definitely get friction and grip.

not saying that it is the most grippy case, but it has grip and it is not slippery like the MNML based on what you have mentioned.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] gforceriders:
Yeah I emailed you all and they said there was no testing going on.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] an21281:
Email sent, have been using the MagCase since I received it(pre order) and it is amazing!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Owenboy89:
Will this case fit with a D-brand skin on a s8. My wife has just seen the red I phone but hates iPhones.....so I figured I could get her a Debt and skin instead.....front and back.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] henderjr:
I've had the case and CD player mount since it was released for Pixel 2XL in November. I use it every day with the car mount and have 0 issues. Love the case and it stays put every time in my car. I also have earned $35 back on my $50 order due to their referral program. Basically get $5 for every person that uses your 10% off link.

Sounds like they're in the process of making a MagCase Pro which I'm very interested in too. I'd imagine it would be made of similar components but with a bit more protection.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] xzr3b0rnzx:
I wont recommend if it's a full skin, if it's only skin on the glass area then you should be fine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] xzr3b0rnzx:
yeah it works really well. because the magnetic mount area is big, just a random slap on the mount w/ the pitaka case and it just sticks every time without worry of dropping when driving over humps.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Namolas:
Can you set the phone on it in either portrait or landscape? The video I watched it would only snap on in portrait. I use my phone in both orientations depending on the app, music, navigation etc.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] xzr3b0rnzx:
you can rotate the mount landscape or portrait its easy with or without the phone on mount.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] henderjr:
You bet. It really is a great case and mount. I have 7 other cases collecting dust!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] thacounty:
I have had the pleasure of spending a little over a week with the Pitaka MagCase for the Pixel 2 XL. Let me just say, it is the absolute best case for the Pixel 2 XL by far.

The case is slim. Very slim. Even being this slim, it has protected the phone from the couple of drops that it has undergone since I got the case. The size is my favorite part of the MagCase. I enjoy using my Pixel 2 XL again because I’m getting to enjoy the form factor. This case does not interfere with the Invishield that has become a fan favorite either.

The plate in the back is perfect for my magnetic car mount. It’s nice not having to stick something between the phone and case or tape it to the outside. If you have ever considered a magnetic mount, DO IT! You won’t even notice that the plate is there, so I’ll let you know that it’s just under the fingerprint sensor.

The feel of the case is great as well. It feels like a premium case. It has a bit of grip that the phone just doesn’t have, to help prevent slips and drops. That little bit of grip isn’t enough to pick up lint either, which is great for me because I keep it in my pocket.

The button cutouts are large and give a nice window to the orange button on my white 2XL. I’m happy that I went with the white again now that I have this case. All I can say is, if you’re on the fence, grab the case. This is the first case I’ve had, of many, that I’ve decided to keep on the phone.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] elkbath:
excited to try this case out! I really want a case that'll preserve the thin feel of the phone
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] rohit25:
Just saw a drop test of the Magcase pro on Twitter... Making something solid for phones.... But it seems you guys are working on only on the iPhone X for now
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] jayochs:
checked this case out, and it's pretty sweet. it's incredibly thin, and it's not AS slippery as other cases that are this thin, but it's still kinda slippery. I do like the low profile of it though, and the look is pretty cool. maybe one day i'll get the magnetic holder for the car and check it out, because that would be much cooler than using the air vent one I currently have. either way, it's very thin so don't expect a lot of crazy protection, but if you're careful with phones, it's great. only downside i have is that the edges don't wrap around the front nearly enough and since i have a tempered glass on there, it actually lays on the glass itself when i put it face down, rather than the edges of the case. not a huge deal since i have tempered glass, but still. here's some pics of it on mine!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] henderjr:
I've had the case since November with their CD player magnetic mount. Works great! I have 7 other cases that aren't being used. Love it!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ehaze:
Is there a screen protector that will cover edge to edge? The gap between the screen protector and the case would drive me crazy (red marks).
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] blcklab:
What screen protector is that?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] xzr3b0rnzx:
there's no screen protector that covers edge to edge..

the closest you can get is invisshield loca based.

you are using whitestone dome right?

nope, purchased this but havent installed it:

[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] HACK3DANDR0ID:
Had one for my Note8, then my S9+, and just got one yesterday for my Pixel 2 XL... My favorite and thinnest case available...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] xzr3b0rnzx:
wow u must be a rich man, not even a year and you changed like 3 phones already.:victory:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] HACK3DANDR0ID:
LOLz... actually, started with a Note8, got tired of the Locked Bootloader, traded it in for a LG V30, which felt very cheap and made of plastic, so i returned it to the store, TMOHelp sent me (2) Moto Z2 Forces in 4 days, BOTH BRICKED on Oreo Update, went back to a S8+ which i was to hold until the S9+ was shipped too me. Traded the S9+ for a Google Pixel 2 XL 128 GB Panda and just got a Moto G6 Plus, my 2nd....today it was delivered..... and so on....

*EDIT*

I'm corrently testing Project Treble for the DEVs on the 1st Moto G6 to run Treble and i had it about 6 hrs....

---------- Post added at 04:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 AM ----------

Does anyone with this case seem like its higher on one side, top to bottom, then the button side, top to bottom. 1st case i got from PITAKA that didnt fit right....
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] xzr3b0rnzx:
u should email them with photo proof to get them to send you a new one
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] HACK3DANDR0ID:
I know one of the sales girls, she is sending me a New MagCase to replace defective one. They gave me a Note8 and S9+ MagCase Shipped from HongKong, for nothing, actually for doing full reviews and take a bunch of photos....and posting in different community Groups....so i have a pretty good relationship with PITAKA...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Upstreammiami:
Wish it wasn't open at the bottom and top
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] fullmetal509:
My custom Pitaka case ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] JPHCCFC:
Would the screen when face down have direct contact with the surface when there is no screen protector on? Does the case provide any protection for the screen? If this was dropped on a corner edge do you think it would be enough to stop any damages to the phone?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Jrmiller:
looks awesome man. might have to do this to mine. :good::good:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] thacounty:
No, there is no screen protection from the case. The screen will make contact if laid screen side down.

Yes, it does provide corner protection. I have dropped mine on asphalt from 2 or 3 feet and came away safe. I dropped a 10% off in my review up there if you do decide to buy. Will save you some $$
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Jrmiller:
dome glass is a must with this case. i dropped mine a brick pool deck while on vacation and the case saved the back of the phone but as for the front the dome glass did the rest.

i also did dremal out some of the inside of the case and added another metal square for my magnet car mount. i hate seeing them on the outside of the case.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] xzr3b0rnzx:
dremal? I don't think u need to do that as there's already metal embedded, is it not compatible with ur third party car mount haha
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Jrmiller:
It does hold on third party mounts just not well at all. Rock solid now that I added another plate
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] MrBrady:
I didn't need to Dremel and was able to add a thin metal plate to the inside of the case so it works better with other mounts. BUT I've noticed having a metal plate on the back of the phone severely messes with the compass (off by 90-189 degrees) and have a feeling interfered with some calls too. Plus, I SWARE the phone feels smoother without the metal plate, so maybe it was constantly messing with sensors or something?

My 3rd party mag mount doesn't work well without the metal plate. Pitaka sells mounts specifically for this case that go for around $10 on Amazon. I may pick one up and see how it does.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] henderjr:
The Pitaka Mount works great with their case. Been using it since late last year.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] panflute:
I have the Spigen Tough Armor case with built in kickstand. This case is beautiful, strong, feels and looks good and thin. It's about $20 on ebay.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] tiniwings:
Hi, I am using same "Spigen Tough Armor case with built in kickstand" and looking to change it for Pitaka (Just getting bored to see it in same case), If you have the link for ebay can you please ping me. I am not able to find it for ~ $20.

Thanks.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Reechings:
He's saying the tough armor case is $20 not the Pitaka.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] tiniwings:
Thanks, I misread it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Wilazn:
It's less expensive because it's a flimsy thin piece of plastic though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] clnzx2:

Just ordered one, thanks for bringing this case to my attention and enjoy that $5 cash :highfive:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] ram4ufriends:
Case really looks nice..but isn't 40$ little too much for a case...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Shawheim:
Especially a case that only protects 2 of the 4 sides.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] xzr3b0rnzx:
i wasn't planning to use a case on my 2XL initially until i saw this case. I was quite sure evutech was not gonna release any kevlar case for the pixel series.

I agree the price is quite high, and i believe its for a niche crowd (minimalist) only. most people will go for spigen or some chinese branded case makers or otterbox/UAG for the extremist. For me personally, i do not like spigen cases as they look really common and thick and also their price is not cheap in my country. I prefer thin case and i was in love with kevlar case ever since i purchased it for with my oneplus 3. I just love the quality and it beats any thin case in quality and grip and until today it looks as good as new and mind u i work in a shipyard.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] InfiniteReality:
Finally a real carbon/kevlar case for a phone I own. Been wanting one of these for years, sucks I missed pre-order promo, but will monitor this thread on what people think of them before I order mine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
Anyone that pre-ordered has a shipping notification? They said it should be shipped by the 13th, and it ships from Hong Kong,.. it is already the 14th now in Hong Kong.. Wonder what's going on, i emailed them checking with no reply yet.. I pre-ordered since the very beginning..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] xzr3b0rnzx:
i am also checking with them on fackbook & email. they shipped out my iphone x case order tho.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] xzr3b0rnzx:
"Thanks for your message. We are very sorry for slowing down of fulfillment due to the huge sales increase and the logistic overload. But we promise to ship out your order this week by Express. So you will receive your order next week.

Thanks for the update, least it sounds like we all should have our cases in our hands sometime next week.

I ordered mine yesterday. :)
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] henderjr:
Anxiously waiting for mine to ship too. Anyone know if the active edge (squeeze for assistant) will work ok with this case?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] piaa_nissan:
I would think so, you might have to adjust the sensitivity a bit to accommodate the more rigid case. Ordered mine yesterday and crossing my fingers they're shipping soon!
