Hey guys,
I just ordered from Spigen for the first time. I was curious how quickly the item should arrive at my house?
I ordered the Black Leather Argos flip case.
Ordered on Tuesday around 4PM
USPS First Class
Comes from Los Angele's, CA
I live in Marysville, WA
California to Washington isnt a huge distance at all.
Anyone that has ordered from spigen, how long did it take to arrive?
I have the tracking number but we all know how horrible USPS is.. They give you updates about 3 days late or they update it after you have already received your item >_<
I was thinking it will be here either tomorrow (Friday) or Saturday. Going to be pretty bummed out if it gets here like on Wednesday >_<

I'm a pretty big fan of this case.

Spigen still hasn't shipped mine and it's been a week since my order. My suggestion is to buy from Amazon as a shipper.
Yeah. Got mine from eBay and got it 2 days later. I just ordered another Spigen case from eBay to review. So maybe go the eBay route.

They probably want to keep those eBay ratings high. I sent them an email through Amazon's email system and haven't gotten a response in the last 3 days...
i canceled my spigen order. 3 days and nothing has been processed or charged. i just bought through amazon. horrid customer service.
Just ordered one.

They didn't respond to my email earlier this week either. I agree with his statement of poor customer service. My items were marked ship early last week, yet UPS still hasn't actually/physically received my shipments.

Hm that's very disappointing then. I had a good experience although I did order mines on a amazon prime eligible order so it arrived in two days. Ordered on Saturday afternoon and received it on Monday. Came via usps

Amazon as a seller/shipper has always been good to me. I'm probably going to complain to Amazon about Spigen's shipping issues.
Finally got my Ultra Case. It took a day longer than it should have, even through Amazon Prime. Overall, the case is good. However, the button feedback is okay to poor. The back is very clear and solid. Another small gripe that I have is that there is a big gap over the microUSB that allows dust and lint to crawl through and is visible through the back.
Received mine ordered through Amazon on Friday. Great case.

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED with Spigen.
Ordered the Spigen Grey Ultra Hybrid and Champagne Slim Armor from their Spigen eBay store.
Ordered on Wednesday Nov 6th at 5:16:20 PM EST, paid immediately seconds later by PayPal.
Order finally shipped Saturday Nov 9th at 1:37 PM EST
3 fricking days to actually ship the item?

I ordered mine on Monday and it still hasn't shipped. Well, to be accurate, Spigen marked it as shipped on Amazon days ago, but the status still reads on UPS: Shipment information received by UPS Mail Innovations
UPS still doesn't show that the package is in their possession.
Button feedback sucks and I agree with the above: big gap by the micro USB port open to lint.. Boo

Personal Thoughts
I've been using one for a few days now
Pros -
Sturdy
Comes with screen protector
Transparent back
Rubber feet on corners to keep phone flat on table
Cons:
Very flat on back (not ergonomic)
Hard to find buttons without looking
Poor button response (little to no click feeling)
Clear back is very smudgey.
Dust...dust collects everywhere
I like the case well enough for what it is, but the phone feels so nice naked, it's hard to be happy with anything covering it. I'm considering trying the Diztronic.
Somewhere around October 5th I ordered my screen protector, and got a shipping confirmation around October 14th. Then November came and I still haven't gotten it, so I emailed DBrand asking what was going, not a single reply.
Well I got this email explaining what went wrong for all their custpmers who ordered recently and safe to say that at least they are honest enough to refund everyone who ordered from this batch. Sucks they didn't ship my order but they refunded me and I didn't loose a single penny. Here's the email.

There's already a discussion on cases/screen protectors for the Pixel 3 XL. However, I'm not seeing much talk about skin options.
After watching a few review videos, I'm nervous about just how easily the matte glass on the back scratches and gets marked up. One reviewer even seemed baffled by how easily the back of his 3 XL got marked up, considering the phone was in a case from the very beginning. You can see him talking about it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzERR48mz6o&t=90s
With that said, even though I have a Spigen case and tempered glass screen protector sitting here waiting for the phone to arrive on Friday, I'm still very hesitant to install the case without a skin/wrap for the back. I went ahead and pre-ordered a DBrand skin that fully covers the back. But after talking to DBrand customer service, it sounds like the wraps won't be shipping out until late next week, at the earliest, since the first batches are still in production.
With that in mind, I'm looking to see if anyone else has another option for a back wrap, that they know of. I'm a nutcase about keeping my phones pristine, so at this point I plan on just leaving the phone packaged up until the DBrand skin gets here, even if that's still 2 weeks away. Unless there is another solid wrap option that currently has products ready to ship. I did check out SlickWraps but their site doesn't indicate how quickly they could get the product shipped.
Anyway, open to ideas/discussion.

Watch Austin Evan's review of the Pixel 3 and XL. He had it for like 1 day, and after 1 drop the glass back on it was completely shattered and broken. This is not a case I would personally just put a skin on it. It needs an actual case unless you are 100% sure it will never be dropped. I'm thinking like iPhone 4 glass breakages here lol.
I got the Spigen Thin Fit, and if that's not enough, I got a cheapo TPU case that should be a little better for shock absorption.

He's not saying he's putting just the skin on it. He wants to put a skin on it before he puts it in a case and is wondering if anyone knows of a skin that's available now.

Ah I mis-read. I thought he was wanting to use the skin instead of the case.
To answer OP's question, I used Xtremeskins on my Pixelbook, cuz at the time they were cheaper than Dbrand and more customizable than Slickwraps. They have a PIxel 3 skin, but it's still pre-order, and they're UK based so shipping took a few days.
I can't imagine you'll find much right now, since it's so new.

Yeah, everything I'm finding is still pre-order. So when my Pixel 3 XL arrives Friday, I'll probably keep it in the box until my DBrand arrives. Hopefully it will be sometime next week. I just think it would be a real shame to throw the phone in a TPU case and immediately scratch the back of the phone up, just from the case rubbing/pressing against it. I'll definitely be testing my ability to hold out while this phone just sits on my home office desk while I work all next week.
But in the end, it will be worth the wait to keep the phone in 100% "like new" condition. Especially for resale. I did this same thing with my OnePlus 6 (DBrand skin > Spigen TPU case > full coverage glass screen protector) and I'm now able to sell the phone for top $ since it still looks brand new.

I'm UK based, which of their skins do you recommend?
Just got an email back from Dbrand, preorders are shipping out next week so will probably get one from them

Good call out. Just ordered one as well. Now I'll have to see if the DBrand or Slickwraps arrives sooner. Slickwraps did allow for expedited 2 day shipping for $6. I went that route. Hopefully that means I get it by Tuesday. But it will probably still be Wednesday, given the weekend.
I ordered a DBrand skin last week as well as one from SlickWraps.
DBrand hasn't sent any updates either but their website still says pre-order for their 3 XL skins. Hopefully that ships this week. However, I'm getting annoyed with SlickWraps. It's been 5 days since I ordered with no updates or notifications of shipment. And they indicated that they had inventory and were no longer on pre-order.
I'm going to ping SlickWraps support. If they say it hasn't shipped yet I'm going to cancel that order and just hold out for DBrand.

Just saw your signature that you went from the OnePlus 6 to the Pixel 3 XL which is exactly what I am doing (when it finally comes out in the UK)
I ordered both a DBrand True Color - Yellow skin and a Slickwraps Colorshift - Green/blue skin.
Slickwraps was ordered on October 9th and still says "Processing"
Dbrand was ordered on October 19th and still says "Processing"

I don't see the color shift skins for PX3.
Edit: I'm dumb. Found it.

Is that a Pixel 3 or Pixel 3 XL? If it's a 3 XL, how did you already get a wrap? Is it DBrand, SlickWraps or something else?

It's pixel 3 xl and my friend and I are viewers so they sent them to him and That's how I got one. It's dbrand
I emailed slick wraps a few days ago because at that point they're website said everything was in stock yet I hadn't received a shipping notification. They responded on Monday with the typical "we're overwhelmed with new purchases and our warehouse is heavily backed up". Wednesday and still nothing...

Anytime you order in/around those massive sales they do (like 50% off) you can expect delays. I'd guess it'll be around 3-4 weeks

If I don't see anything by next Monday I'm cancelling my order lol. 3 to 4 weeks is not acceptable these days. I can't remember the last time I saw a company back logged that far out. Hopefully this isn't the case

LOL! Good luck. I tried canceling my order yesterday, 6 days after placing my order with no updates, and they basically told me to screw off. They said they will not cancel orders unless the cancellation comes within 2 hours of ordering. I tried arguing it and said they were being misleading because they indicated the wraps were in stock when they clearly aren't. They responded with the exact same response the second time. I requested that they refund the $6 I paid for expedited shipping, at the very least. They even refused to do that.
I'll never buy SlickWraps again, because of this BS. If it wasn't relatively cheap, I'd open a dispute with my credit card company. But it's not worth it given the price point.
I hate using cases, so always go with a skin. I will never order from Slickwraps, as their delivery time is horrendous. I went with Dbrand. Ordered Sunday, received Wednesday! Here's a pic!
Mine came in from SW before my Note 10+ came in. I got the stick bomb skin.
