I think because they're pre-order only there's not much posted here yet. It's mentioned maybe twice at this point.

I have the Ghost on order. The price is painful but the feature set is what I want so one kidney later I put in an order.

Spigen Liquid Air Armor Designed for Pixel 8 Pro Case (2023) - Matte Black https://a.co/d/b46OCUm

So far so good. Nice matte feel and grippy. But not too grippy. I miss the Pixel 7 peak design case but I got it for 20 bucks. Not worth 60 imo.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] LLStarks:
I have it. I've been a big fan of the Liquid Air for a while and it feels great in the hand.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] K1nsey6:
This is the one I use on my 7Pro, and will be using on my 8Pro. Great solid build and strong magnet. Pricey, but the best one Ive found
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] amattii:
Hey, I also found the wooden one on Amazon. Do you like it? Or does it give you a cheap impression?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] amattii:
I had a mous case for 2 years, and it gave me a great sense of protection..I recommend it tbh. I wanted to switch it up this time, so I ordered the dbrand ghost case with their teardown skin. The official google case also seems like a good option.

What did you all buy?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] trimax84:
I have the Bellroy Slate Blue from the Google store (in addition to a belt clip case from amazon).

It is thinner than I imagined with the "leather" description. But I do like how it maintains a nice slim feel in the hand. Is not slick/overly smooth. The bottons are covered but remain "clicky." The color is represented well on Google's site. Overall it doesn't necessarily feel like I would imagine a $55 case should, but maybe it proves itself in durability.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Birdsfan:
I went with the Mous case with mag lock built in. The case is a bit more than I was looking for so I ordered a Later case. Looked at the Pika website, I have their case for my fold and really like it but they don't show anything for the P8P. The Later case seems to be very similar. It arrived in a few days.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Argh. Verizon shipped me two Pixel 8 (non-Pro) OtterBox Defender (Pro) cases. The order clearly says:

Edit: After jumping through some phone hoops, to verify that my local corporate store would have the correct case in stock, and they said go ahead there, so I took everything back to the store and they found the correct case. Yay!

Too many "Pros" in the names of things.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] suisujin2:
I have the Bellroy case for the Pixel 7 Pro for a year now. It is the "Bluestone" color, a bit darker than the new "Slate Blue". The buttons remain clicky what I really like. The inside feels very soft and I think I don't have any scratches on the phone's back. The case has a plastic border around the camera. This looks a little bit cheap.

The corners are now dark, almost black, like you would see it on leather wallets. I don't mind it but this will be probably more apparent with brighter colors. I dropped the phone a few times on softer grounds like gravel and grass and the edges have a few dents, but nothing bad. Part of the leather peels off around the charging port. I only see it when I look closely.

I really like the overall soft feeling of this case. Here it costs 9,200 Yen. I think this is a bit much.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] amattii:
Can you post some pictures of the case?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] bkrickles:
I ordered the Bellroy yesterday!

I had $40 of google store credit, so it cost me about $20 after that.

It's coming in about 10 days and I'll have 15 days to see if I like it, which I think I will.

Of the cases I've tried so far, the Caseology Nano Pop has been my favorite.

I've already returned 3 of the 6 cases that I ordered from Amazon.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] suisujin2:
Sure. It's not so easy to get the light right.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] mang0:
How bulky is the Nano Pop? If you're able to post pics, please do! I considered getting that as well. Currently just have it in the Ringke Onyx, but I do have a Spigen thin fit on the way as well. Nano Pop just looked pretty substantial...
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] cmh714:
I got the LONLI JIC Clear w/ Magsafe. And I must say it feels good and is pretty "thick" for a TPU case.

Sorry! Something went wrong!

My only issue is it wont sit on the v1 Pixel Stand for very long. It slides off. Not sure if thats just this case or the P8P with the case is just a tad thicker than the P7P.

If anyone has a good clear TPU that can sit on the v1 Pixel Stand, please chime in, as I may try another case.

TY!!!!!!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] blastroid:
I've got my Athlex on the P8P now and I don't think it is a fake either. The corners let the phone tuck in securely. I like the texture and the camera bar raised portion still lets my finger support the phone when I'm talking on it. For sure different than the last one, though.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Yep. I actually got the phone yesterday so I could see how the case actually fit. Good protections all around as all the lips, including camera, are raised enough. Still the same good grip, but the case is lighter than the 7 Pro's.

I do miss the little slit that was on back of the 7 Pro. My finger rested there nicely for an extra good grip.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] TiltedAz:
I bought a few case and am slowly trying them out. I haven't installed a screen protector yet.

- Spigen Tough Armor has good protection, a kick stand, but probably more bulk than I want.

- Spigen Liquid Air Armor is about the right size but too slippery.

- Caseology Athlex is the front runner with the right size and grip.

Still waiting on the Oterkin Clear case. I've never owned a clear case - I'm thinking it might be too slippery.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] kondi10:
For our Obsidia and Porcelain we bought Spigen Ultra Hybrid Zero One. I have attached 2 pictures since you can see the difference between white and black phone inside the case. It is very delicate, we used to have similar Spigen previously for our P6P and were very pleased. The armor versions are too bulky. The ring is there because in London it's better to keep the phone with you, once I was almost robbed when a girl asked me about the road somewhere and I took the phone out.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] kpjimmy:
I have the Spigen Liquid Air and I have always had the ultra hybrids but I opted for this becuase of the slimness and looked grippy enough. I was correct, but I guess it could be slippery for some. I've had slippery ones for my Nothing Phone 1 but the Spigens had just enough grippyness in my usage. For the liquid air, though, I do like it because it is grippy enough for me, but not too grippy to attract pocket lint in my usage.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] horatiopositronic:
Howdy Vine buddy! Looks like we got almost all of the same cases (which is most of the ones I saw listed). My favorites from my Vine haul were the Caseology ones and the Ringke Onyx. The Ringke is the one that has ended up as my daily case for now.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] goattee:
My phone arrives on Monday. So the cases are all sitting in a drawer. It'll be like Christmas morning as I open all the packaging and try out the cases.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] The Missus:
Has anyone tried a carbon/Kevlar/Aramid-based case yet?

I have seen a couple of offerings on Aliexpress. However they all seem to have no reviews.

I tried a clear case from Spigen but that was too slippery for my comfort.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] TheCheeks:
Any super thin cases/skins for just better grip? I don't care about protecting it from falls at all, I just don't want to fumble with it while taking it out of my pocket, which is a shame considering how nice the back feels.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] PARADOX-SEV:
The exact thing happened to me and I went to local Verizon store and they swapped out the 2 non Pro cases for Pro cases.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] irishrally:
PHNX (previously MNML) continue to be the best super thin cases available. Have had them for my last 3 or 4 Pixels and have yet to find something thinner and as well made. There are some pretty good deals if you mess around with the website options or use a return customer coupon. Trying three colors this time (frosted white, navy and matte black below). Frosted white probably looks the best over the bay blue color.

Also tried the official Google case and a latercase rip-off but I always come back to the PHNX for the minimalist feel. The lattercase is decent but not as thin and has large cutouts on top and bottom edge.

Edit: forgot to mention that their warranty is great and will replace the case even just for normal wear and tear, for up to two years I think. Have done it many times.

View attachment 6022193
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] irishrally:
... here's a picture of the frosted white case on and next to the Google case for color and size comparison. It looks great and still allows a decent amount of the color to come through.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] TiltedAz:
The AMZN Oterkin Clear case arrived today. It fits well and provided more grip that I expected. Maybe they put a non-slippery protective coat on the plastic? The buttons feel nice too. I'll probably keep it as a backup.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] mmafighter077:
I pre-ordered this one. I prefer a minimal case. I'm usually pretty careful with my phones. It's the dbrand ghost case.

Pixel 8 Pro Clear Cases » Ghost » dbrand

Looking for the best Pixel 8 Pro clear case that never turns yellow? You found it. The dbrand Ghost Case is only 1.2mm thin with 10 ft of drop protection.

dbrand.com
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] adewaleandrew:
Nice
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Tomadock:
For anyone looking at the Latercase - please don't get ripped off. This is the same exact thing for a fraction of the price. I used the Pixel 7 Pro version for a year and it was perfect.

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805910711041.html

Just ordered the 8 Pro one to go along with the Mous Super Thin Magnetic case and Dbrand Ghost. The better MagSafe case stays, but for the last year I've used the aramid fiber case with a stick on adapter.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] airmark:
Got this one on ebay, quite happy with it, feels very solid (good protection), decent grip, and excellent button cover (clicking them is just as easy/good tactile as without the case):

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Telperion:
How's the cutout version? I'm a bit concerned the cutouts would be too close to the lenses or flash on the camera.

Also on the Caseology Athlex, what's the point of the yellow racetrack on the inside of the case? Is a metal plate supposed to go there for magnetic mounting?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] JamesChicagoIL:
Got mine from Thinborne, pretty good actually .. I am a fan of Pitaka since it was aramid fiber but then this case came across my feed and maaan all what I am looking for
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Tomadock:
I was concerned about the cutouts as well, so I went with the "big hole" version and I think it looks better anyways.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Tomadock:
Yikes, another expensive copy of the same one from AliExpress. Good cases, but you guys are getting got.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] bkrickles:
Agreed! I just bought one from AliExpress for $17!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Telperion:
Can you share some photos of the amount of lip there is to protect the screen / camera enclosure? Is there enough space inside the case to fit a thin magsafe ring?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Major Tokage:
Anyone get the Spigen Ultra hybrid case? How you like it so far? Just ordered one.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Tomadock:
Hey sorry I didn't grab a pic of the front before I boxed the 7 Pro up for trade-in. The lip you see around the camera is pretty close to what it is on the front. There definitely isn't enough room on the inside, but as you can see I have one stuck on the outside. Hope this helps!

View attachment 6022878
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] horatiopositronic:
Nah, the case is all one piece. I think the yellow bit is just decorative.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] b1nly:
Not bad. I just got the Google one on the right to keep the same color as the phone, but it's a bit too thick for my preferences. Hope we get some more photos of the color coming through on other clear cases like your good example in the coming weeks.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Major Tokage:
Got my Spigen Hybrid case today. It's pretty good so far. Fits really well and can tell it's really protective.

2 things I don't like are:

Seems a bit thick compared to other cases I've had

The edges around the screen are gathering lots of dust and stuff because they are raised and also using gestures are kinda weird since the sides are no longer flat to swipe on.

Anyone using a more minimal case that doesn't have raised sides around the screen? I really only need protection on top and bottom and corners.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] bkrickles:
If you want something inexpensive, I love the Ringke Onyx.

I tried like 7 different cases from amazon, including the spigen you have, and I keep throwing the ringke on my 8 pro.

No dust and gestures work great!
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] tonyfiore75:
I got the Official Google case for my Pixel 8 Pro. It's actually better than I expected. I haven't been happy with a Google case since they made those upholstered looking ones several years ago. I loved that case. This one isn't bad, though! Grippier than previous years. Thin enough but not 'too' thin.

Having said that, I have a dBrand case on order that's supposed to ship in early November. Expensive? Yes. But once I put it on my Pixel 7 Pro last year, I never took it off. Typically I end up with around 4 or 5 cases with each new phone. Since I found the dBrand? I'll just have that one and this Google Official case.

A word on Bellroy. I've owned 2 or 3 of their cases. I think they get worse every year. The leather used to feel like leather. Not it feels like garbage and scuffs very easily. They also feel a lot thinner than they used to. Maybe I just got a bad case but I feel like these cases are not what they used to be and they are WAY overpriced. They're making a killing on them, though! I won't be purchasing the Bellroy this year.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Major Tokage:
Thanks. Only problem with those is that none of them are clear. I wanna show off my blue color!

Also from the pics it looks like that one still has the lip around the screen. Something I'm trying to avaoid
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] gpvecchi:
dBrand Grip or Ghost? Ghost seems a good idea, but I'm afraid it will be full of scratches in a few...
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] tonyfiore75:
I got the Grip. I don't mind the extra weight and I like the aesthetic of it. It's just a solid case all around.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] xdrc45:
Just got the Torras magsafe with the magnetic kickstand from Amazon here . What a nice case and very well made. Torras put some though in to this case. This is my 3rd Torras case. Had one for my P7P before. This is an upgraded version. Fit is awesome, even with the IMBZBK screen protector installed. It's silky smooth, but grippy at the same time. Plus it has the integrated magnetic magsafe kickstand that doubles as a finger holder and is completely flush with the back of the case. It works with all magsafe accessories and it has a clear frosted back case which looks good.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Major Tokage:
Lmk if anyone finds a lipless or borderless case at some point. This Spigen is collecting dust like a magnet. Really bothering me.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] ysco:
Hello mate,

Question about the case, are the corners raised a bit so you can put it face down so that it has no contact with the glass. Could not find or read it on AliExpress website.

Thanks mate.

Regards ysco..
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] p4ra:
Running currently black from bellroy and waiting for arrival of dbrand Ghost.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] nds850:
Would you recommend the Bellroy case?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Deano1889:
I've gone with the Bellroy black leather case using Google store credit acquired from the purchase of the phone. Not sure how long the leather will hold out, especially around the edges with the pocket wear nor sure if their 3-year warranty would cover wear and tear.

I've also got a matt clear Xtreamskin. I'm only using the visor part to cover/protect. Paired with the black leather case and black camera ring it adds a subtle matt look that I think should have been a n option on the phone in the first place like it is on the standard P8.

I'm interested to know more about the LaterCase copy @Tomadock It looks like a decent fit. Is that a Magsafe ring you've attached to it?

Lastly, I found this video to be very informative. Glad I didn't go with the Mous case now:
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] p4ra:
It is fine. Good fit, definitely quality. I don't like how stiff the buttons are. And case is a bit slippery, but overtime with patina it may get better.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] CaelanT:
I got the Bellroy leather case with my Google store credit. Super happy with it. Expensive but basically free with credit.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] gettinwicked:
I'm currently rocking the x-level blue leather slim. I really like it. Works with the imbzk screen protector fine. The leather feels great, and the sides are grippy. The caveat is that the front lip barely goes above the screen. Like, it's very close to even with the screen protector. So, use are your own risk.

I also have a spigen rugged armour that I really like. It's a thinner fit than usual with this case, as I've had it on other pixel phones, so, that's cool. The texture on the back is super cool, feels great holding it. Grippy sides, and enough of a lip to give the screen some protection. I almost got the spigen thin fit, but tbh, it's really boring looking, so, skipped it.

Lastly, I ordered a Mous super thin in steel blue. It has not arrived, but this is the case I cannot wait for. REALLY cool blue color. It's also a thin fit and has a magsafe magnet built in. Comes Monday, can't wait! You can get it on their site or the Google store.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Telperion:
I ordered one of these too. I'm currently using an X-level slim case on my P4XL and have been happy with it. The matte texture started peeling after about 8 months so it's not like it's high quality materials, but it's cheap, fits well, and works, so I've kept it. I'm interested to see how the fit is compared to the P4XL.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] gpvecchi:
I just received the Google genuine cases, bay blue and mint. Apart from the color, the buttons and the logo are silver on blue, and green on mint.

Perhaps a little slippery, but the feeling is great. Perfect on the phone, it seems there is no case on it. The buttons are perfect. Perhaps the protection is just good, but not great.

They don't feel soft enough to dampen a shock.

I'll keep the Caseology Parallax for every day, and genuine case for the weekend.

I'm tempted about the dBrand Ghost now...
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Misterxtc:
I got my Pixel 8 Pro and the Otterbox Defender today along with the Zagg XTR3 screen protector. I'm happy with the install and fit of everything. Having a flat screen is so much better.

I got the same case but the Blue color. lol I had to watch a video to see how to get it on! :)
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] DanielF50:
I bought the Spigen Liquid Air & this "Tudia MergeGrip" (pictured) due to it apparently being MagSafe compatible - it doesn't look half bad & feels great in the hand, but I'm currenty waiting for a MagSafe charger to see if it magnetises properly as the magnet ring looks a bit lackluster.

Before going through the entire thread, just dropping this first here.

I got https://www.amazon.nl/gp/product/B0CJXFJLFY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and while it's a really nice cover, I'm not convinced on the protection qualities in terms of the material, but lets ignore even that for a moment. The lips are fine, on the front they don't get in the way, and the camera has them slightly higher, giving it a healthy distance. The biggest beef I have with it is that the material is so silky smooth, which is nice to the touch, it doesn't seem to provide much grip. I worry that it'll just slide through my hands on a bad day :(

The buttons feel nice though, super cliky, a bit to loud at night even lol.

The magsafe magnet however is nice and tight though. Got a cheap charger from action, and it attaches and detaches very well.

@DanielF50 i'll be very curious about the Tudia in terms of protection and grip. The magnet is probably gonna be fine ;)
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] gpvecchi:
Between Ringke Onyx and Caseology Parallax, what do you prefer and why?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Gordietm:
Parallax offer much protection than Onyx and is a little bulkier. It depends what you're looking for. I'm using Parallax and it feels good in my hand.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] kellybrf:
late reply, but it's a magsafe compatible case, not a magnetic case. it will not stick to your fridge or other everyday items, as with all magsafe products you need a magsafe mount of some kind to pair it with
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] gpvecchi:
I received the Ringke Onyx today, and I instantly returned it.

The quality is very low, it was even deformed in the upper part. Probably fitting the phone will make it flush, but I don't trust the safety of a so cheap case...

BTW, what is the case that's featured for the highest drop height?
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] Gordietm:
Good to know, thanks
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] irishrally:
Thanks. Also, forgot to mention, a glass camera lens protector fits with the PHNX case no problem.

One downside I also forgot to mention, there isn't much of a lip on the front of the case to protect the screen. Not an issue for me because I use a glass screen protector there but might be a concern for some.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] irishrally:
The Alliexpress aramid fiber cases fit great and are very slim. Comparable or very close to the PHNX for most minimal case. I still like the PHNX a bit better because it doesn't have those relief slits at top or bottom edge, and I like seeing the bay blue color through the frosted white, but I like the aramid enough that I ordered the big hole version because I think I'll like the look better over the small camera hole one I first got.

Edit: just watched that video review, thanks. Can't believe that guy thinks the Google case is Slim. The thing is a beast, a better choice for the bulk protection, OtterBox type crowd over the minimal coverage/protection crowd.

[Google Pixel 8 Pro] CHH2:
Looks like the Ghostek cases have been delayed. Which is weird because it was the best case I could get my hands on early for the P6P. Meanwhile, the Spigen Liquid Air something (? Just got home from half price bottles of wine night. I test pharmacy software and today sucked all around, lots of pressure if you f that up.) has been here since day one and I've grown quite attached to the idea. Feels light and thin, minimal. Has this weird quality that somehow reminds me of the old Moto based Nexus 6, I think, with it's rounded back except no dimple here. (That dimple then translating into a fingerprint scanner on pixel models was something! So natural!) Loving the feel of the Spigen case. Glad I got a good discount on the Ghostek or I would have cancelled it by now. I'm not big on changing cases out just for giggles.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] nxt:
That case is advertised as "Magnets for MagSafe" not magnetic case. These ned to be used WITH a MagSafe compatible mount/stand so both magnets in the mount and case attract each other. It's not meant to magnetically attach the case/phone onto something metal.
[Google Pixel 8 Pro] nxt:
Those ring of magnets is called MagSafe. Apple invented it. You will need to get a MagSafe mount/stand for it to work properly with a MagSafe case.
