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.

Google 'cloth' cases

Ok so when I ordered my Pixel 2 XL on launch day I went to add a case from Google - I like the new ones for Pixel 2 - maybe the red 'coral' one for me. But even ordering the phone on launch day it says all XL cases are sold out. Is there anywhere else online to order them or which UK phone shops will stock?

cloth case
Try verizon. I just ordered a black cloth case from there today.

Great case nice fit but I dropped the Phone and although the phone was fine the case is completely scuffed up. The fabric doesn't hold up at all to falls

You've probably found a case by now, but I bought one of these at Best Buy. They only had the black case, but that was the color I wanted anyway. Might give that a shot

Just got the all black XL 2 cloth case. A+ in my book

Got mine yesterday and loving it so far, just not sure how it's gonna hold up going in and out of the pockets.

Got the carbon one as well for my 2XL. Wish it had coverage all the way at the bottom. Other than that it feels awesome and adds minimal bulk/weight.

Got this case and loving it so far. Although I wonder if any screen protector will work along with it as the fabric lips are just marginally above the screen.

Sorry for the late reply I found it on Flipkart luckily at the time when the phone was released, not sure if it is available now, but you can check

Current skin options for the back

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.

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 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.

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

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 had one of the cases delievered today and the quality seems pretty good. That said, for a $1.20 cost it was worth the buy anyway...waiting for the protector

Thanks for the post. Ordered one of the cases and a set of screen protectors. Not sure of the quality for the protectors, but having an extra set might come in handy at some point.

I own both for the Pixel 3XL. Both are good quality. The Vault has a slightly thinner back but also has a bumpy grainy texture. I prefer the feel of the Legion. Both worked with the Google Pixel Stand and a 3rd party wireless charging stand.

Thank you! Ordered 3 items [emoji16]

I've been using the Waterfall for a few weeks and just put on the Vault. I had a Vault on my Pixel 2 XL and the textured back is much better on this one. The only negative is that the case has a thicker back and as a result the fingerprint sensor is really deep and makes swiping on it difficult and uncomfortable.

Nice find. Sadly for me it is expensive. Over $13 when shipping included. I bought 3 cases 2 days ago under 13$ each including shipping. Thought I'd buy these ones as well for under 3 bucks but that didn't work out.

I tried to buy them a couple of days ago but got a message saying they were "out of codes".
I tried again today and I was able to buy all three for under $5...thanks!

Didn't get their case, but I did get their screen protector as an adventure without seeing any IRL pictures. Can't lose much for $3.

I bought the Legion Series for my Pixel 3 case, sigh they sent me the Pixel 3 XL case instead. sigh. Not worth the hassle to return for that price.

Got both black cases and the screen protectors for $6. The protectors get ho-hum 2.5-3 star reviews on other phones so I'm not expecting much but heck... for 6 bux... Thank You!!

Copped an extra case and screen protector coz i don't like the TopAce tempered glass i like, for $5 can't really beat it

This happened to me, too. Very strange. Also, maybe things work differently in Europe, but if you receive the wrong item, it shouldn't cost you anything to return it.
