Best cases for Google Pixel 2

[nelamvr6]

I really like Seidio cases, but right now their website says "Coming Soon" when you search for cases for the Pixel 2 and 2 XL.

I've had a clear slim TPU case from Amazon on my XL from day 1. I've dropped the phone a bunch of times and still looks brand new.

So, for the XL2 I bought the same thing. made by Vinve (I think), just clear, slim TPU case. I got a 2 pack for $7

How about grippy cases? What are the best cases for added grip? But without adding too much bulk

I've been using Speck CandyShell grip. It adds a little more bulk than your super thin TPU, but very rugged

I could see how it could grow on you

I actually like this lol

Well, I had the red Nexus 5 and loved the colour, so I figured the splashes of red on the Artworks case would remind me of that classic phone. It's certainly going to be a talking point!

So has anyone found any good screen protectors yet?

There's some skinomi and iq shield protectors on Amazon. But they look like plastic protectors. I haven't come across any glass protectors yet.

Im going to need a protective clear case to show off Kinda Blue

Caseology Parallax. .4 inches thick, nice color (Miss my real blue Pixel XL, this is as close as I could expect...).

That's the case I ordered, gmermel. It arrived yesterday. Very nice.

.4 inches? That can't be right, that's almost half an inch...

It's a total thickness. The XL is .311 thick so the case adds around .1

Ah. That makes much more sense. Thanks!

I have a Parallax on my current XL it's a nice case and has stood up to a year of use.

Sigh. Here we are again...time for a new shiny phone, but still nothing good in the way of pretty/designer cases. I'm having to order a black device because I can't stand that orange power button, and there is nothing thin, snap on, rose gold ...bling..at least we had a Kate Spade option for PXL.

Sucks, doesn't it? *sigh*

Just order a simple, cheap, but functional case for now... It always takes a little time for a range of quality options to come available.

Imo, same with the screen protectors. I remember the nightmare finding one for the Pixel XL, for which basically every early offering (including 'premium' brand and the one sold on the Play Store) had serious drawbacks.

Just received this case as a slim shell offering placeholder till the Spigen comes out, which I'll get unless I find I love this one.

These are out of stock currently, but seem to be pretty nice for what they are. Matte finish, but not very grippy. Clean cutouts - including for the buttons, which I like.
