That's a good point. The protector that came with the Spigen case does seem a little thinner than the one I had previously.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] bkrickles:
I just received the simply carbon fiber case for my 3xl. I already own the bellroy leather, Google fabric, spigen thin fit, and caseology waterfall cases.

I can't believe I never heard of this case before. It's beautiful.

It feels great with some cool grippy sides.

It fits great.

And the carbon fiber back is so sharp.

I love my bellroy case and the fabric too, but this scf case may be my favorite.

I've been using it for about 6 hours now and I'm going away for the weekend so I'll give it a good test.

I highly recommend people to check it out.

It's a little expensive, $40. But it may be worth it.

If you register at their website, you can get the members price of $29.

Hey guys, somebody asked, Nillkin made frosted shield case for Pixel 3 XL, just ordered one.

pics ?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] bkrickles:
These are not my pics. I found them elsewhere and they are what I looked at before buying case. I've been using it a couple of days while away and have gotten 2 compliments already. It's just a great case and I do recommend it
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] c_86:
That looks like a finger print magnet...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] bkrickles:
It's not though.

Been using it for 2 days and while I do take extra special care of my phones and cases, there has not been much smudging or lots of fingerprints to wipe clean.

I'm guessing it's the carbon fiber but who knows.

I'm having a great experience and think more people should be looking at it.

Was looking at that case and it they also have screen protectors. https://www.simplycarbonfiber.com/c...-xl-shatterproof-3d-curve-screen-guard-2-pack Wonder if those would have halo or not?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] sn0warmy:
Those are plastic protectors, not made of glass. I imagine that you could install the plastic protectors and use a hair dryer to heat the sides then apply pressure to get them to stick down, since the protector would be more pliable. But I don't know how well that would actually work.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] psklenar:
Great to read & see sn0warmy! Thank you for sharing the pictures! UPS Tracking is showing that my Thin Fit 360 should arrive Wednesday. <fingers crossed>

pat----
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] sn0warmy:
I should mention that yesterday, the bottom left corner of the screen protector started popping back up, seemingly out of nowhere. I tried using a hair dryer again and pushing it back down. I got it to stick back down for about 10 minutes or so, but it just worked its way back up. Pretty annoying.

But I decided to buy some Mr. Shield protectors and some Loca 2500 glue/syringes in case I want to go back to my Spigen Rugger Armor setup at some point. When the Loca glue arrives on Wednesday I'm going to use it to fix the bottom left corner of the screen protector I have installed with the 360 case. It will likely solve the issue. Aside from that, and the harder to press power button, I'm still very happy with the setup.

That looks great! How's the feedback of the buttons with this case?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] bkrickles:
The buttons are perfectly clicky. As I've said previously, I also have the Google fabric and the bellroy black leather which are great cases. But this Simply Carbon Fiber has become my favorite over the past 2 1/2 days. I can't describe how good it feels in my hand. I'm a little mad at how much I've spent on cases but Ive gotten some good ones.

It is 20% off, right?

Register at their site and go back in and look for members price. Should be like 28.99.

Thats what I paid.

Then maybe try the code and get more off but I didn't try that so I don't know if that will work.

Worth 28.99. It's a great

Edit: I just checked and you can get 20 off of the members price and pay $23.20 for the case. A steal in my opinion

[MENTION=2781818]sn0warmy[/MENTION] One of the review on Amazon looks really bad... Halo all around, I was going to click buy now but I stopped once I saw this halo...
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] ddskier:
I agree the intelliarmor is a huge disappointment. Haloing big time, especially near the camera. IT is cut too tall so it doesn't fit most tpu cases.

I don't get it, I love intelliarmor for the first gen pixel.

UGH.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Mdizzle1:
If anyone is after a thin case for their pixel 3 XL, you should check out the cases by MNML. It's like a skin! Also as they are translucent you can still see the two toned design.

Only downside is there is no front lip protection. I don't have an issue with this as I'd never put my phone face down!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] thacounty:
I had one for the P2XL and it was really slick. Have they done anything about that?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Mdizzle1:
It's not the grippiest thing in the world. Similar to dbrand Matt skins if that helps. I don't like the rubbery cases as they are annoying sliding into my pocket.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] thacounty:
I agree with that, but the Pitaka case had a sticky feel that wasn't over the top and didn't pick up lint. It was just enough to make it feel good in the hand.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] zetsumeikuro:
Here's the Zagg that I picked up at Verizon to try out and it's good no halo at all! But of course your mileage may vary due to the slight nuances in the manufacturing process of our screens.

i purchased a zagg protector but the sides have a halo (i also applied it wrong...forgot to clean the screen now theres dust particles stuck underneath until i get my mr.shield)

ill assume the zagg and mr.shield protectors are the same?

[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] zetsumeikuro:
https://www.zagg.com/us/en_us/invisibleshield/glass-plus-visionguard-google-pixel-3-xl Here you go! It worked great for me and I had a discount from my company too. Disclaimer your mileage may vary and you could get some halo I saw some YT videos about people getting halo even but very minor. Granted the date of the video was back in October on the 19th so Zagg could of made revisions by now or improved the adhesive. Since there is the slight differences in screen curvature that comes from the manufacturing process. As another member suggested you could put it on at Best Buy or the Verizon store and see how it is and if you don't like it have a backup protector with you to put on. But do it yourself don't let the employees man handle your phone. Edit: Just saw your next post saying you were from Australia :p so guess the in store approach wouldn't work for you.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] walkerx:
how long must you wait to put a case on if using a wet install screen protector and must you leave the device off all night while it's drying?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] bigdave79:
If it's a "case friendly" one you can pretty much put it back on straight away. I did and it is fine.

Anyone find any cases with a horizontal and vertical kickstand, that don't look like some ugly military phone from the 80s?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] kellybrf:
I've been rocking this case most of the time for the past few weeks. I think the 3xl is too big for a vertical kickstand, but it works well horizontally.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] walkerx:
thanks, it was this protector was looking at LK Screen Protector

I've got the Pixel 3 XL with the Google Carbon Case, but was also concerned about any potential liquid damage from applying and if it would invalidate any warranty
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] sn1pes:
How are the Spigen 360 screen protectors holding up? Mine is coming today, but I'm seeing that after initially liking it, the protector starts to come up.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] sn0warmy:
I think you are referring to my experience. I should say that there are a couple of others who were able to get a perfect install with no edge lifting and haven't had any issues since. In my case, after getting a perfect install, one corner lifted after about 2 days (seemingly for no reason) and I could never get it back down. However, I'd say this is not the norm and had I attempted to install the 2nd supplied protector I could have gotten a permanent perfect install.

I just decided to go back to the Spigen Rugged Armor case and a full screen TGSP from Mr. Shields. My reasoning was because...

- The power button is definitely harder to press with the 360 case. Enough so that I couldn't get used to it over 4 days.

- The case fits extremely tight so it will wreck a full body DBrand skin, if you have one. But if you don't have a skin that wraps around the top, bottom and sides, the very tight fit of the 360 case is actually a plus because it won't allow anything in or rub around the back/sides.

- Due to the small cut outs of the cameras and sensors on the top of the screen, I found it next to impossible to clean lint/dust out of those spots. So the front cameras would have crap covering them, likely degrading the selfie camera quality.

- Personally, I don't like the hard plastic of the case covering the bottom portion of the screen. I was a bit afraid that a piece of debris/dust may work it's way between that plastic and the screen over time. If that happens, you can guarantee some damage will occur under that plastic piece. I didn't like taking that risk.

But this is ALL personal preference. So take it with a grain of salt. The build quality and feel of the 360 case is great.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] sn1pes:
I really appreciate all of your thoughts on this case and TGSP (I even noticed your pics on the Amazon product page, so thanks!).

The look of the case and protector is exactly what I'm looking for, but I think some of your points are very valid.

My plan is to (hopefully) use this combo with no issues until Whitestone has their protectors ready, then be done with all of this chasing and research. It is a shame that it is so hard to find quality protection for our phones.

How are the Mr Shields protectors treating you? I've had both Caseology ones and IntilliArmor and they have both been terrible.

Also quick edit: any pics of your current setup? And maybe a link to the TGSP you use? I see multiple listings on Amazon.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] sn0warmy:
If I were in your shoes, I'd order some Mr. Shields and some loca 2500 glue/syringes from amazon. After installing the screen protector, just use the syringe to apply some loca glue around the halo'd areas and allow the glue to seep in over a minute or so. Then, wipe off excess, do the same to the other side then when done, wipe everything down with an alcohol wipe and finish with a microfiber cloth. The end result is perfection and it's super simple to do.

I'll try to get some pics after my meetings this morning. But just picture a perfect installed Caseology protector with no halo. That's all it really is.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] sn1pes:
Just ordered the TGSPs and some glue. Never thought of adding a little DIY to it.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] nds850:
Can you use the screen protector without the case? Will it stay on?

I think you can... However, it's going to be short from the bottom.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Hinesight 20/20:
Just ordered some. Nice layout on your phone btw.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] airmaxx23:
You just want to apply it to the edge of the screen protector, it will slowly work it's way under the edge.

One thing I found that helps when applying a new screen protector is do not try to remove the halo when you first put it on, this lets the LOCA glue seep in easier. Once the glue is applied I wait until the halo is gone before doing anything else.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Paz9:
3 tries and still failed haha

ill wait for my next 3 mr shields before trying again :rolleyes:
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] MervinsOnlineID:
I used that thin plastic sheet that you peel from the Mr Shield screen protector. Put some loca on that and gently shove it in the edges.

Here is a similar process from SGFresh.

Forward to 0:57. You'll see what I'm talking about. Hope this helps! :good:
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Paz9:
thank you, ill follow this next time!

even without the LOCA mr shield covers a great amount of screen and the touch is better than anything ive used.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] csick:
Just got my Pixel 3 XL yesterday.

I ordered the amFilm TGSP first, but Amazon originally said they weren't going to arrive until a week after my phone so I ordered the Mr Shield as well. They ended up both coming the same day.

I put on the Mr Shield first and the halo effect was really bad, so I put on the amFilm.

with the amFilm there's no halo, but it also doesn't cover the entire width of the display (meaning there are some pixels of the screen that aren't covered, even looking at it dead on, not just when looking at it from an angle like most TGSP that barely cover the screen.)

I'm torn as to whether I want to buy some LOCA and use it with one of the other Mr Shield, or just wait for the Whitestone dome ones to come out.

The not-quite fully covered screen with the amFilm isn't bothering me as much as I thought it would, so I may just wait.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] evilryry:
I just got in today which appears to be a 3rd revision to the intelliarmor glass. upon first look, I may not even bother to attempt to install it. It's notch cutout doesn't look good, and this time they have a bottom speaker cutout. Also doesn't appear to be totally case friendly with how tall it is it didn't sit flush on my phone screen without touching the case and lifting a little with a Spigen rugged armor on it. To me it's another failed attempt which is so disappointing because I've always loved their glasses in the past.

Excuse the poor pic this is more to give an idea what this attempt looks like. I may try to install it for s**ts and giggles, but I'm not sure. (Posted in both glass/accessory discussion threads)

[MENTION=6689878]intelliARMOR[/MENTION]

Edit: I reached out to intelliarmor customer support again and they told me I unfortunately received an older version in place of what was supposed to be the revised version, and they are sending me another one which will hopefully be the correct model.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] jfive74:
Quick question to thise who have used loca glue to seal edges. I see there are 2 viscosities 1000 and 2500. Which works best and removes easiest?. Saw some videos on youtube and seems 2500 removes easier.

And is uv light needed to cure or will time do the trick as well? Thanks.

Using liquid applied screen protector at the moment. Good but wanna get back to glass. Thanks.

Nillkin Frosted Series

Hello Friends,

After a long search, I have found my case.

Just as I want it.

Premium feel.

Good grip.

Minimalistic and still protective.

...and something that matches the white Pixel.

It is available on the Nillkin Website and AliExpress.

Thank you all

Everyone has been using 2000-2500 with good results. https://www.amazon.com/Xfactor®-LOC...UTF8&qid=1543737697&sr=8-3&keywords=loca+2500 is the one the people have been using. You have to UV cure the LOCA so grab any UV light or you can keep your phone out in the sun but this takes a lot longer and it's not worth it as UV lights are really cheap.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] RoWilJr:
Just finished installing the Whitestone Dome. Different install with this one (no tilting, gotta use some sort of "squeegee" to get the process going). HIGHLY RECOMMEND reading the instructions a couple times and do a "dry" run a couple of times first. Very satisfied and fits perfect with my Spigen Rugged Armor case.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Hinesight 20/20:
Got the Whitestone Dome today. Had to reinstall it because my case ( LifeProof Next) dislodged the bottom a tiny bit. Didn't ruin the functionality, but drove me nuts looking at the discoloration. Turns out I had the protector just a smidge too low. Double cured it, and am going to let it sit overnight before putting the case back on.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] kellybrf:
I may have found my perfect case. it's the x-level hero, and appears to be only available from one seller who is on AliExpress. on my first order the package got returned to the shipper, but the second order arrived in just under 3 weeks. it's a minimal case much like the mofi I had for the 2xl, but it's got a textured back so there's some grip. my only complaint is that there's no lip for the front, bit other than that it's amazing. I bought the black and red, it's also available in rose gold. the red is a bit more subdued than the pictures make it look.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Bubba:
Just a heads up from my personal experience. I ordered the Pixel stand for mine with the $50 Google Store credit. It would connect and disconnect repeatedly with the Otterbox case. Even with the rubber removed it wouldn't stay connected. Returned the stand and bought 2 mini home speakers instead.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] :
Yup I get a similar experience with my Speck Presidio case and the Pixel stand. It usually reverts to slow charging. I only paid $40 for the stand and don't mind too much because I only use it at bed time. Still it's a disappointment and the stand lacks the penetrating power that the Samsung fast chargers have. It isn't worth $90 at all, not even close.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] aviatordoc:
Wow, a 40$ case would not let you use the wireless stand?

Anyone else have the same issue with the presidio?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] :
The $40 is what I paid for the stand (edited the post) and from what I read on Reddit nearly all the cases mess with it including the official Google case. I can still use the stand but the fast charge isn't consistent and it reverts to slow charge.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] aviatordoc:
Thats not all true. I have the Spigen rugged armor case and use the pixel stand everyday. Not a problem. Super fast charging.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] :
Whatever, it's true for me and my case. Spigen is different than Speck.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] v2.2v:
Same for me...Pixel Stand and Speck case results in slow charging or random disconnects
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Cryingmoose:
I'm using the Spigen Tough Armor with my 3XL and Pixel stand and it works perfectly.

Notification lights on the stand work, so does the display and fast charging
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] csick:
I have the same case, works fine with my pixel stand as well.

I really like this case. I had the same case on my Pixel (1) XL for 2 years and that phone still looks brand new even after a few minor drops.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] csick:
I tried this too but I couldn't get the halo completely gone. I made a mess with loca glue that made my phone really sticky.

[MENTION=8722326]MervinsOnlineID[/MENTION] did you use loca 1000 or 2500? I bought 2500 and I'm wondering if it's slightly too viscous to seep in around the edges well.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] gogoffm:
Bought the origin Pixel 3 XL case from Google and today it arrived. I can't tell you all how pissed I am, 50€ for nothing. The case looks not that bad, BUT the part around the power button is so tight that the phone is rebooting constantly. It's unusable for me and I will return it.
