Yeah, I picked up my Nexus 5 still in its Spigen case today... and damn the grip felt good. I think I'm going to be keeping my eyes open for some alternatives.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] Sieber101:
Found a few deals for a few of these cases. tried the poetic revolution, the 3 caseology's (vault, waterfall, legion), the digital hutty. Fav so far is the caseology legion. Will try the XIQI and esr essential zero this weekend.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] alxrock:
I was looking for deals and found out that Supcase has a Unicorn Beetle Neo case on their own site now. It looks pretty slick. Plus they have a 30% off promo for everything going on now using the code: HALLO30

Looks like free shipping in the US as well.

I had been using a Cimo Slim Fit clear case for a couple of weeks, and just for an ESR Essential Zero to try out. The ESR is a teeeeny bit thinner than the Cimo, which is nice for a minimalist sort of case, but it's also extremely plastic-y and quite slippery compared to the Cimo. I like that it does have a fairly generous front lip, though, but not sure I'll figure using it as a daily driver given how slippery it is. Won 6 hours of using it, the case slipped from my hand and the phone fell about 5' down onto a hardwood floor, but to be fair it was completely undamaged, so there's that...
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] matteventu:
I'm using a 1.50£ case from AliExpress. After purchasing Spigen Rugged Armor for Nexus 6P and Pixel XL to be honest I was disappointed with them. They both ended up being too "large" in just a few days if use. The phones were literally "bouncing" inside of them. I could move the phone up and down by a few millimetres within the case itself.

This case from AliExpress had a better quality and it PERFECTLY fits the phone.

I also have got a 0.90£ superslim TPU clear case. From AliExpress too.

Both ordered on Pixel 3 keynote date, delivered to my door 10 days later (UK, with free shipping). Couldn't be happier.

The clear case is very nice too, and it's really really slim, so much that it doesn't have the "lips" on the front ofbthe phone that keep the screen raised and prevent it from touching the surface you put it on.

But it's made very well, and since it's transparent it's a pleasure to stare at the naked-looking white Pixel 3.

Here pictures of both: https://photos.app.goo.gl/9my6NCNaom2eJuUB9

Now I'm using the blue one, feels like a Spigen but it's actually better lol.

Also looks very good imho with that simil-leather back.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] Sieber101:
Do you have a link for the the clear one? First time ive seen individual cutouts for rear camera... Thats fun.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] matteventu:

I guess you can also see from other sellers, they may have it now at a lower price.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] acruxksa:
Pretty happy with the Bellroy leather case purchased with my Pixel 3. The case fits great, looks good and has the added benefit of working with the wireless charger.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] snotyak:
I have some reviews for some cases that I tried out. I think I like the Spigen Neo Hybrid the most so far. I have some others on the way though.

Spigen Thin Fit 360 will be here Thursday... Very excited to try this one out will post a review after. Pretty happy with the regular thin fit so far but looking forward to something with more complete coverage
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] cambunch:
Excited to hear how it compares to the regular one too.

I'm giving the Moment case a try. A little pricey but they have great reviews and I like the design.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] sleepyguy007:
i got the caseology legion case. dual layer. its an all right case pretty well built though i'm not super huge a fan of the angled design to hold. that said it was like $1.50 on amazon with the deal and code at slickdeals. still available. ....
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] GldRush98:
I picked up a Cimo clear for it. I just put it on but I can tell already that I'll FINALLY have some grip on my phone. Feels much more grippy, and it does seem slightly thinner than the cloth case as well. As long as the plastic doesn't leach plasticizers or discolor, I think I'll be pretty happy with this one for now :)
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] cambunch:
Give their Vault case a try - perfect mix between slim and bulky. Has a great grippy texture too.

I just received my Moment case and I really like it. Somewhat squishy on the edges yet surprisingly stiff. Not that slim but with all the glass on this phone, a slim case might not be the best fit for me.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] dgrobe2112:
looks like the MNML cases have finally shipped..
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] PuffDaddy_d:
I finally got my X Level case from China and it is the slimmest TPU case I could ask for. Cases like MNML are just too thin to protect from even the slightest drop, so this is the next best solution IMO. I got the clear version so I can see my Slick wraps skin under it. Totally worth the wait!

To be clear, this is thinner than the ringke fusion and Spigen liquid crystal cases, but still offers full coverage for all sides.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] x1988:
I using the same case from spigen,this is most perfect case for our pixel 3.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] Sieber101:
Using the otterbox clear symmetry case on my pixel 3 (not xl). Crazy tight fight but looks nice, not super bulky, lip around screen is raised enough but not enough to make swyping left/right difficult. I would have preferred a little more rubber on the back for when i chuck phone on a table... but it is a combination of hard tpu and a silicone material that gives me way more piece of mind over the other minimal clear cases out there.

Edit: tried to reach out to customer support (their "otters" :rolleyes: ) and Customer support on this stinks. Asked questions about promotion for free alpha glass. They denied the deal listed on their site even after sending screenshots. Then when i asked what the return policy was they just submitted a request saying i asked them too.

Now im returning it without having requested it... Time to try another clear case alternative.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] edster00:
I ordered a Mnml Case also, on October 20th and they were on pre-order... have you received it yet? Anyone?

Thanks
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] DinarQ8:
unfortunately I canceled my order because they have delay
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] byproxy:
So I got the Spigen Thin Fit 360. Here's my thoughts:

The case is good. I really liked the texture on the back of the regular Thin Fit and am a bit disappointed that the 360 doesn't have it. That said, it's the same thickness as the regular TF and fits well. I like the design where the case covers the forehead and chin leaving only the screen itself exposed.

The glass screen protector is decent. It only has a back cover so application isn't as easy as others but it went on okay for me. It IS slightly too narrow in my opinion. Given the case design, I feel like it should provide 100% coverage. Instead, with it shifted all the way to one side, there's a sliver of unprotected screen on the other side (top and bottom are good with nothing exposed). I'm certain the protection is adequate, but visually the sliver of exposed screen is annoying to look at.

Overall, I'm pleased. I'd give this an 8/10. Would be a 9/10 if not for the glass issue and a 10/10 if not for the texture issue.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] byproxy:
Here's a pic of the gap I was talking about...

Top, bottom, right... Gtg. Left side not so much.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] byproxy:
Another complaint about the 360... The power button is pretty hard to press. The volume buttons are fine... But power is very stiff. Not a huge deal but thought I'd mention.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] dgrobe2112:
i use supcase for my fitbit.. but that case is waaay to big for a phone.. lol.. MNML should be here this week..
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] californicated:
Got the fabric case from Google. It fits pretty well, but when squeezing it on the right side around the buttons, I can see it move a tiny little bit. You have to look closely, but it drives my OCD crazy :silly:

The same for anyone else?
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] kdwolf85:
My only complaint is the size of the cutout and the lip around the fingerprint reader. It's only about 1/16th of an inch but, it makes using the swipe gesture on the reader a little more difficult. I had the UB Pro on my Nexus 5x and the iBlason case on my OG Pixel XL. I really liked UB on my 5x but, it wasn't offered for the Pixel. The iBlason case had a large cutout for the reader. It made the swipe gesture very easy to use.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] gpvecchi:
Ringke Onyx is wondeful for daily use, and fabric case for the weekend!
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] dgrobe2112:
Got my MNML cases yesterday.. and man.. sexy..
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] thatsricci:
I've been using cases like this on all my devices (xl2,2, now 3) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FQ6SJVK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

Lovely and slim... offering good protection with a slight edge for face down landing. Stays out of the way and still works with my magnetic car mount with plate underneath. (no wireless charging for me yet...)
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] Roscopcoletrain:
BIg fan of the Nomad leather case. Feels good. 6ft drop protection. Big thumbs up
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] cswithxda:
Used to be a loyal MNML-style case user on Pixel OG and Pixel 2. Now I converted to this X-Level case and became a fan. I think the protection on the Pixel 3 is completed for now, until some company comes out with Whitestone-styled protector for under $15.

The case's profile is in between MNML/Totalee/Peel plastic sheet style and the other generic TPU cases. Feels bulkier than MNML but much nicer (thinner) than the other TPUs while preserving better bump protection than MNML. It reminds me of the ultra-thin Belkin case for Nexus 6P if you had experience with that. Miss 6P btw...

Can be found on Amazon for $10, give it try, you won't regret it. Worst case is to send it back like I did when I had ordered a red one and now replaced it with the newly in stock black one :p
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] nizarnoor:
What's your screen protector? It doesn't have full adhesive, does it
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] cswithxda:
Nope, it's called ESR with 0 review on Amazon when I ordered it. Turns out it's just like the last year's generic one I had on Pixel 2 so it doesn't bother me. Now the bigger problem is after I've put the protector on, I found the phone's bootloader cannot be unlocked. All this joy did not last very long...
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] bingunginter:
anyone have link for super thin tpu case clear version ? found x-level case https://www.amazon.com/X-level-Goog...id=1542398538&sr=8-1&keywords=x-level+pixel+3 but doesn't seem they have clear version.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] Sieber101:
The esr zero case is super thin and clear. Just not much for protection if dropped
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] PuffDaddy_d:
You have to order the clear x level case on eBay. Comes from China. Got mine and love it, but be patient. It takes at least a month.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] bingunginter:
link please, there so many on ebay, I don't want to order the wrong variant.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] PuffDaddy_d:
There's a U.S. based option now that should get to you much faster than from China

[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] hbkekko:
Just bought the official fabric case. Does anyone already tried it?
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] alxrock:
I tried them out but ended up returning them. They are very thin, so they don't offer much protection. My main issue was the texture of the fabric just felt uncomfortable and a bit slippery. I'm waiting for Google's Black Friday sale to get a MyCase instead.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] gpvecchi:
I have a fabric case, thin, slippery, with no screen lip, but so cool!
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] PuffDaddy_d:
The Google branded cases don't have full protection, usually leaving the top or bottom of the phone exposed.

Just FYI
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] alxrock:
The new MyCase from Google is a dual layer case and seems to have good coverage from what I've seen in this youtube review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JT8S4taJbSo
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] oceansaber:
Hallelujah, Rhinoshield has finally come out with both a full case and bumper for the Pixel 3 WITH colour options AND keeping to the design of the phone. Been looking forever for either a non-yellowing clear case or a solid case to go with my white Pixel 3!!
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] alxrock:
Yeah! I can't wait to get my hands on their solidsuit case. I've been wanting a nice white case for my white pixel 3. Too bad it won't ship til "the end of December"
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] byproxy:
So don't know if this is allowed so totally delete if no bueno, but I decided I liked the regular Spigen Thin Fit over the Thin Fit 360.

So I have the 369 available if anyone wants it. Only has one glass piece now, so you can't mess that up! $12 bucks shipped (regular mail w/ tracking).

PM me if you want.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] oceansaber:
Could be worse...I'm in Canada, so I'm most likely 1+month shipping delay on top of that :(
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] Sieber101:
Anyone try any of the tech 21 cases yet? Clear, check, or Evo Max? Just ordered the Max for $28 with the current sales. Rear Camera cover seems handy at times.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] dgrobe2112:
I had the tech21 clear case on my 3... and.. its like holding an XL. the hole for the sensor is very tight, and, doesnt allow the swipe down for notifications.. unless you swipe just perfectly.. plus it covers up the buttons, and hides the nice power button color..
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] Note10.1Dude:
Not aware of any. I did order a Case-Mate leather wallet, I'll post an opinion when I get it.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] LuckyDragan:
The SolidSuit case for the Pixel 2 got some pretty scathing reviews; people often complained that it was an extremely tight fit and was thus hard to get off, and it also put pressure on the buttons.

I tried a CrashGuard bumper on my old Nexus 6P, and had to sell it because it made the phone feel incredibly bulky and unwieldy (given how it was already a fairly large device to begin with).

What gives you confidence that the SolidSuit will be better this time 'round? Genuinely asking, as I'm in the market for a durable case that doesn't look like plate armour.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] alxrock:
Honestly it's one of the few white case options that I've seen that actually looks good. I had a CrashGuard bumper for my Note 8 and felt the material was harder than expected and dug into my palm a bit, so I returned it. I'm hoping that the solidsuit is more comfortable and that it won't be too difficult to remove. I also grabbed a Google MyCase during their Cyber Monday sale, so if the Rhinoshield case doesn't work out, I can just return it and stick with the MyCase.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] GibsonSGJ:
I'm torn between this and the Bellroy leather case. I like how the leather wraps around the bellroy, but I love the type of leather on this one and the fact that it has some actual protection.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] Roscopcoletrain:
the protection is what sold me over the bellroy. Its already starting to get a fantastic patina
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] LuckyDragan:
Heard the Bellroy's buttons weren't the greatest, and that the seam between the leather and front bezel were imperfect, which makes me think that the Bellroy's leather would be more likely to peel.

Was going to get the Nomad during their Black Friday sale, and then they sold out :crying:. I was going to go with the Moment speckled white/tan leather case, but I read that the leather was very scratch- and stain-prone, despite also being from the Horween tannery. I don't know why the leather quality would differ between Nomad and Moment.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] oceansaber:
The crashguard is a thicker case than the solidsuit as it's a bumper and needs to be thicker to maintain structural integrity. You trade off showing the back of your device for it being a little thicker.

From my personal experience, I had the very original solidsuit from Kickstarter for my iPhone 6S and it was a very pleasant case to use. I ended up getting a replacement because of the faux leather finish rubbing off a bit (and being subsequently discontinued), although the fit I would have to agree is VERY tight. It regularly took me 5+ minutes to take off, so it's kind of a "put on once and don't swap around" kind of case.

The biggest issue is that the current selection of Pixel 3 cases IMHO are either cheap TPU, TPU/PC transparent cases where the TPU sides yellow, or tough/thicker/protective cases, and none are minimal enough or follow the Pixel 3 line's aesthetics.

Some other ones I was contemplating:

- Ringke Fusion (Smoke) (didn't like the added nubs on the corners. My Ringke Fusion for the 2XL would've been perfect. Smoke so that the TPU discoloration would be less obvious)

- Spigen Thin Fit (I have a white phone, didn't want a black case. Design was good though, although protection evidently lacking)

- VRS Single Fit (I live in Canada and it was relatively expensive to ship over)

- X Level (heard some good things but ultimately the faux leather case wasn't that appealing)
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
This is slick, wish they had in stock
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] Roscopcoletrain:
already getting that nice worn leather look
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] LuckyDragan:
What about the MNML case? It's $8 to ship to Canada.

I'm getting a Moment photo case because I'm curious about the wide angle lens. Spent a pretty penny after the conversion rate, but we'll see if it's a one-and-done investment.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] oceansaber:
Not a fan of ultra-thin plastic cases - if that's the case (i.e. just for scratch protection), I'd rather slap on a skin (which I've done temporarily until I get the Rhinoshield) which ultimately is thinner, looks nicer, and won't "break". I find those kind of cases (Peel, MNML, Caudaube, etc.) will end up cracking or warping.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] dgrobe2112:
love my MNML case, and feels great. i got the white pixel, with the white frost MNML, looks good. now please come out with the dome screen protector, and im set.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] nizarnoor:
Whitestone Dome screen protectors are out already. They're on Amazon.

And yeah I love my MNML case too. It looks and feels great.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] acidspider:

[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] psumz3:
Wish I would have seen the BF sale on these... want to grab one for my XL as well. Currently have the Ringke Onyx though and really satisfied with that. Came from the Neo Hybrid which was far too slippery and added too much width for me

Google MyCase

I got my Google MyCase a few days ago and I love it! Just the right amount of protection without being too bulky and the white color matches my white Pixel 3 beautifully. I chose the maps case and went with a map of Disney's Magic Kingdom. The phone can be a bit difficult to remove from the case, but it keeps it in place and makes me feel that my phone will be pretty well protected. I'm still waiting for my RhinoShield SolidSuit case (it won't ship til after Christmas) and I just ordered Google's new Silicone case for my wife's Pixel 3. So I'll leave my thoughts on those cases as they arrive. I hope the pics are ok. Lighting was not the best at the time of taking them.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] hesomist:
Incipio NGP feedback?

I'm considering the Incipio NGP case to use with my white Pixel 3. Does anyone have any feedback on it? Wanting to show off the phone, but need grip and some drop protection. I have the Caseology Vault, which has both, but it's a bit too bulky for me and it hides the phone too much. Tried the Totallee frosted white, but it was hard for me to hold. Made me nervous since it's so thin.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] cswithxda:
I'm also using this. Will downgrade to MNML type of case for even more minimalist style after I stop caring about the phone as much :D
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] cambunch:
I found it to be way too soft and flexible for my liking. It reminded me of a cheap TPU case that just looks a lot nicer.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] Sieber101:
My favorites include the tech21 Evo Max and OtterBox symmetry for drop protection, and the Ringke fusion/trianium clarium for style/function.

Id rather have a thicker phone with piece of mind though so Im using the Evo max for now. Still pretty slim.

Eventually want to try the UAG and lifeproof cases.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] akarol:
Thanks for the tip! Came from the Totallee case to x-level and am loving it! Feels solid, grippier, and has elevated buttons. Cutouts make these buttons too hard to find and press.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] eric650ninja:
good to hear. Just ordered an x-level from ebay.... i have a thin tpu from blu element with cutouts, and i hate it.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] PuffDaddy_d:
Someone else on xda introduced me to x-level cases last year and it's all I use now. They're thin enough to still feel comfortable in hand, but thick enough to actually protect your phone from the occasional drop.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] jascolli:
Does your xlevel case say "AUTO FOCUS TRUE TONE FLASH" to the right of the camera opening? It's the only thing I don't like. It looks pretty cheesy. Otherwise the case fits great.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] PuffDaddy_d:
I think there are two versions. Mine had it as I purchased from China. Probably geared toward the Asian market.

Rhinoshield SolidSuit

I pre-ordered my rhinoshield solidsuit case at the end of November and it finally shipped at the end of December and arrived a few days ago. It's awesome! Adds a bit of bulk, but still comfortable. 11ft drop protection. A nice white that compliments my white pixel 3 and I ordered a set of buttons to give it a nice red power button for a pop of color (the button pack came with white, yellow, navy blue, red, pink, and green). It's exactly what I was looking for in a case.

Pics attached taken on my old Note 8 in dim lighting.
[Google Pixel 3 Accessories] drewlim:
How's the grip of the case?
