Best cases for Google Pixel 2

[Csquared]

Here is the MNML case on the Pixel 2. It is crazy thin. The texture isn't exactly grippy. It's more like the back of the Pixel 2 already. Also the cutouts for the buttons are great but the case and buttons now are the exact same hight which makes finding the buttons much harder. If you want a super slim case that adds ONLY scratch protection this might be the case for you.

I bought about 6 cases, but oddly the one I prefer as of now is this $8 KuGi Google Pixel 2 XL case. I like the look, the buttons are perfectly tactile, and it's nice and grippy and protective too. Definitely worth the $8 if anyone is looking for a good cheap case.

I ordered one from Amazon and returned it before my phone even showed up. I got it in red and thought it looked cheap and cheesy. The leather effect on the back was not convincing in the least.

I can understand that, I love how mine looks. And again, it's $8

I really had high hopes for it because I loved the way it looked on Amazon. However, in person it didn't look quite as nice. Also, it might look better in black.

I've ordered about 5 or 6 cases so far and have returned half of them already without even putting them on the phone. One thing I've noticed is that there can be a big difference in quality if you're willing to spend an extra $5.

Can you post pics of it on the phone? Also interested in seeing the lip around the front.

Not impressed at all with the Bellroy Leather case I got from the Google Store. Seems cheap (for what I paid), and its actually quite tough to hit the buttons. It's going back for sure

Same here. It's really appallingly bad. I expected something much better for the price I paid. Keeping it on the phone only until the Caseology Parallax I ordered from Amazon gets here on Wednesday.

Is that the clear black or solid black color?

I’ll try in a bit when I have a 2nd camera. The front is raised slightly over the screen for protection.

Thanks! It's kinda hard to tell but does the lip sit higher than the screen all the way around?

Anybody received a case from UAG yet?

It's the clear black. I thought it was going to be more gray but ended up more like a smoked clear.

Interesting...it doesn't look very clear in the picture. In real life, how transparent is it?

I'm a fan of this case, feels really good in the hand.

If you guys are looking for a really thin case with camera and screen lips, I would suggest this one:

I used it on the OG Pixel and loved it, waiting for the Pixel 2 case to come in today.

yes it is. The pics don't show it well, for sure, but the lip is above the screen on all sides (but not by much). It's pretty slim

Just pulled the trigger on the Spigen Tough Armor Google Pixel 2 XL Case with Kickstand. Hoping a case will come out for this or one will fit if not might have to also pick up seidio case holster combo when its in stock.

Waiting for the spigen thin armor case to show it's face on google, cases are soo much cheaper on amazon vs directly from spigen
