I've bounced between Spigen and UAG but for the Pixel 3 XL, I couldn't swallow the $60 price tag on the UAG.
I decided to go for the Spigen Tough Armor case and its actually my first phone case with a stand....again no complaints with their quality.
I was also looking at the Simply Carbon Fiber case (loved the look of carbon fiber) but it didn't offer the protection I liked and needed from this Spigen case or the UAG (if I went that route).
For $15 on Amazon I can't complain and yes I did the faux carbon fiber wrap on the plastic part of the Spigen case because the plain black look was to "murdered out" for me. I also attached the Scosche metal plate...of course that had to be wrapped to match.
Below are some pics of the Spigen Tough Armor case next to the UAG case I used on my old LG V20 and after I wrapped the Spigen case.
