New case scratched my phone! Searching for new! :'( - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Hey guys. Well. Where to start....
Today when I opened my case I saw a scratch somehow on the phone and it doesnt mind me at all since its hidden but just sad that it happened.
The picture below is the phone where you can see where the scratch is and its not that big as in picture but yes....

and it is this case:
I heard mixed about this case and unfortunately there became a scratch ...
However im searching for a new one and what I kinda want is that I goddamn what a case that doesnt collect dust around the screen where the picture says which is really annoying and also a case that is really grippy. Means that it is not slippery. I was thinking about fabric case from Google, Whats your thought?

I have the carbon fabric case for the XL 2 in the UK.
GET IT! I love it!
Any case will gather dust around screen unless something similar to the LED Case from Samsung that just uses plastic inserts to attach it.
But the XL 2 case is lovely... Much better than the Pixel XL Case from last year...
Hope ive been some help

Woah it looks so nice! I have seen alot of reviews around it but one thing got me not willing to buy it, Apprently there is a gap between the case and where you charge your pixel, is that true? Because what if something etc a small stone gets in, wouldn't that case madness inside?

Nope fella... There is no bottom lip if thats what you mean. Ive attached another photo for you. But there aint no stone getting in there! Very tight fit too!
If thats a deal breaker for you, i can understand.
But for me i think its great - I love it. I consider it better then the Alcantara cases from Samsung for the Note 8 I have.
Thats saying something!!!
You wont be disappointed either - I think that all cases have their drawbacks etc... But its natural. Im usually quite careful with my phones / gadgets.
Finally - I would say if you want a decent case, check Spigen out... They are my favo non-OEM manu.

By the way! Forgot to ask, How is the grip? Can you hold it with one hand without slippery? Sorry if I mighy ask too many questions, Im thinking more because its kinda expensive Case so I want every penny to be worth it! Also how is the screen? Does the case make so the screen doesnt touch the table etc. when you have the screen on the table or?

Just buy it already... Grip is fine for me...
? Case is slightly raised above phone...

Yeah! Do you might know what screen protector he is using?

Not a clue but he bought it from Carphone Warehouse.
But it doesn't curl around the sides...
I personally don't us screen protectors though

Just chiming in, I have one of the Google fabric cases and love it. As for the dust, I have issues with dust, along with other people as well, I just use a clean toothbrush once a week and lightly brush out the dust, works well for the speaker grilles too. As for the scratch, did you by chance drop your phone?

Ohhh okey! How are the stains after using fabric case?
Also I have not dropped it, the only way I can think is that either my nails somehow removed it or ..... thats the only thing I can think off. :crying:

I have the same kind of scratch.

I would say about two months or more, I love the case, it has a nice texture, good grip, and of course it fits nice and snug. It has protected from a fall onto concrete so far. On a side note, I have a chip out of my phone that is almost identical to the posters above, happened when I dropped my phone from about 1 foot on to a tile floor before I had a case on the phone......and that was the day I bought the Google case lol

Officially the best case in the WORLD :)

I was at the mall about a week ago and there's those little cell phone accessory kiosks and they had a case i had never seen, something that i had only seen for Evo's and Incredible's and such
I tried it on and it fit like a dream only downfall was that they wanted $25 when i knew they had just gotten them just like all the other rip off Kiosks, from Hong Kong. i tried to bargain her down to $15 i told her i can get it on ebay for like 3-5 bucks (which i lied of course because I'm always on there looking for new ****) and she refused so i walked away mad as hell because that ***** was trying to rip me off damnit
anyways so i went on ebay and i couldn't find anything but i look today and what do i find? the same **** she had a Hybrid (Combination of Hard Plastic and TPU) Case for the Vibrant
Im ordering mine now i dont really have to tell you that it fits great because i already did but THIS THING FITS REALLY REALLY GOOD!! all the cutouts are nice and not hacked

Lol the funny **** is that is my friend in real life giving me **** lol sorry Drotherman
and yes that is the exact case, I just ordered mine it fits super nice heres a vid of the same general idea but on an Evo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zV1mcJF9apc&feature=player_embedded#!
only difference is instead of it having a design or being clear its like a smoked glass
Thanks for the video! I like it... i now have the T-Mobile gel case and i'm getting sick of it, always sticking on my pocket and dirt on it so i am getting it. Thanks once again
neat, but i dont see how this is preferable to a 100% TPU case... the back plastic is going to get scratched up on this, the TPU cases wont.
Spent 10bucks which included shipping. I guess for my first case it couldn't hurt.
Thanks for the heads up.
Ordered. For $10 why not?

I kinda felt the same way about the official Tmo gel case even though I like the way it feels in hand, the whole getting stuck in the pocket is getting old. The other day the phone slipped out of my hand and fell from about 5' luckily it fell on its side and it bounced a couple times, thanks to that spongy case the phone was unharmed.
I too like the look of this skin, but can it provide the same protection?

The 100% TPU case is nice i personally just don't like the plain back, i have 3 TPU cases One of the original clear smoked (with diamond design on the back) an all white one and an all black on and there's something about the plain looking back and the gay diamonds that i don't like. Its true the plastic might get scratched up and worse case scenario might even crack but i really like this design for some reason

yes and less risk of damaging your case on top of that
So do the volume buttons and the power buttons feel good even though they aren't actually poking through? The only problem I have with my case right now is that since they haven't cut holes through for the buttons it requires quite a bit of pressure in order to use them. Not cool.
to be honest with you that's one thing i forgot to check i was loving the fitment so much i didn't even think to check. It really is a pain in the ass to have to hit the power button and the volume rockers so hard but i guess we will all find out at about the same time. Ive sort of gotten used to having to mash it to be honest lol
maybe i should go back to that mall and see if they still have that case and if so "test" fit it again lol
just ordered this as well, I have so many cases for this phone now but this one seems to have a lot more protection than the mesh type cases that I own.

fair enough, i wasnt really a fan of the octagon pattern but i just needed a case ASAP. it actually looks pretty neat with the blue dot pattern on the battery cover imo, but hey, to each his own.

HEY HEY HEY NO SPAM IN HERE lol j/k yeah they have basically all the same **** from ebay but for more money lol so..... how about you spot me for that Micro USB to HDMI cable from daydeal? i'll pay you back i swear
looks pretty good. does it make it any less slippery? i've been wanting a case, and this is the first one i've seen that isn't horribly huge/ugly, but i've been wanting one to make this slippery phone easier to hold.
yes it does but not if you have chicken grease on your fingers
does it completely cover the chrome bezel?

Just Got This Case.

EDIT; I am placing all of the pics I've posted in this thread below and removing them from later posts. This needed cleaned up plus it should make it easier for people to get a better idea of how they look when you get more than one and trade out the parts. More colors and pictures in the next few days...
I just got one of these and so far I have to say that I am impressed. The plugs that fit the earphone jack and the hdmi/micro usb ports fit remarkably well. I think that I would like it more if the colored plastic piece were a little less slippery. But it is the 'rubberized' plastic so it isn't that bad.
Another EDIT; After owning this for a few months I have to say that the plastic hasn't turned out to be that slippery at all. Just about right for staying on the dash (ish) and getting it in and out of my pocket. And I've decided it is more of a 9/10 to me. And for 10 to 12 bucks shipped, what's not to like.

Awesome, thanks for the review. I was just looking at this case maybe like 2 days ago.
Could you answer a couple of questions? -
- how good is it in protecting the phone if i drop it for example?
- how much thicker does it make the phone look?
- is it possible that the part of the case which "clips on" on the front of the phone can leave scratches?
- does it come with a screen protector?
THANKS!

Edit; Pics moved to original post.
- how good is it in protecting the phone if i drop it for example?
Not sure. Haven't dropped it yet. But as you can see it is a two piece case.
The corners are doubled up with both the plastic and silicone. So I expect the case to take the hit, and not the phone.
- how much thicker does it make the phone look?
Not much.
- is it possible that the part of the case which "clips on" on the front of the phone can leave scratches?
The silicone is between the outer case and the phone, so not a problem.
- does it come with a screen protector?
Nope.
On a side note. I am ordering another one, maybe two. I like the fact that the pieces can be mixed and matched.
Also, It is a little more difficult to use with the docks because of the flap, but not impossible.
Hope that helps.
looks like a good case and there are many cool colors combinations...
i might take one of these.
thanks!
Great review, thanks a lot. And for 2 bucks I will definitely have to try it.
Interesting. Does the silicone case feel good without the hard part?

I removed the hard part and messed with it a little. I guess it feels ok. Without the molded plastic the silicon part is pretty loose. The sides are extra loose. The ends seem ok at best. I don't think that it would just fall off or anything while holding it. But going in and out of a pocket might be a drag.
thanks I think I will buy one on amazon, price seems more interesting

Yeah, the price looks good there too. I don't have Amazon Prime so the shipping would add 3 bucks to the total. Makes it around a dollar more than the ebay price for me. Another example of why I really need to kick Netflix and get Prime...
only certain items get "prime" status, on the case i would have to pay the 3 dollars even though i have prime
just depends on the seller on amazon
I've got this case since 4days.
Good quality/price, the silicone alone feet not so good but with the hard part it's ok.
I have this case as well--white under with black gray outside--and love it. I've had it bout 2 weeks now and it's holding up quite nicely. =)

You'll like it unless you are docking the phone constantly. It will dock, just not very well. I don't dock mine much so it isn't an issue. I ended up getting the black/red and the red/black cases. Now I can mix and match, and have a totally red or black case or leave them as they are. I really dig it all red or all black tho.
so this case can be use with the HD dock too?

Well sort of... You have to hold the rubber thingy that covers the mini usb and hdmi sockets. And once you get it in the dock the fit isn't that great. Loose and wobbly, but functional. Other than that it's a great case.
I do love this case alot i have the all black one
I got an outterbox... was actually disappointed in it. I dropped my phone from about 5 feet, bobbled it till it dropped, and it ended up landing on the top side. I picked it up and saw no physical damage, but the digitizer was not responding toward the top. The notification still works, but just underneath it to about a half inch below all the way across doesn't work. Screw you outterbox!

Speck Clear GemShell for HTC One - Mini Review

Hi all,
I've been a lurker for many years here on XDA and figured I'd try and contribute for once. Sorry if someone has posted a review on this case in the other threads. I looked around for a bit but didn't find any.
I received my Speck GemShell for my HTC One http://www.speckproducts.com/smartphone-cases/htc/gemshell-for-htc-one.html about 3 days ago. It's a hard plastic case with gel incorporated around it. BTW, for those considering shipping options, mine shipped out from Oklahoma so it reached me in Chicago in a day via the free shipping option (USPS). That being said, here are my impressions so far:
Pros:
- The case still leaves the phones feeling pretty slim (though I still do prefer it nekkid).
- It's clear except for a gel around the front rim, corners, and inputs.
- The gel around the front rim elevates the phone when placing it on its face.
- The gel around the inputs will hopefully prevent wearing/cracking of the hard plastic.
- Seems well sealed enough that I haven't seen any dust or pocket enter the space between the case and phone.
- The speck logo on the back is really well done. It makes it seem like it's a part of the aluminum.
Cons:
- The power button becomes really recessed. Not a deal breaker for me but definitely something to take note of.
- Interacting with the volume buttons requires more effort.
- I'm OCD on keeping fingerprints off my phone/case and the cleaning has left micro-scratches on the case. So far it doesn't interfere with the appearance but we'll see after a longer period of time.​- Wish the gel actually covered the entire sides, top, and bottom for better coverage. Even with the clear plastic, you don't really see the aluminum on the sides, top, and bottom.
So you can see the selling point of this phone is not only that it's a clear case but the gel that they've incorporated into it. I'm a bit sad on the micro-scratches but I'm not convinced there's any other case-based solution that would be cost effective. I've attached pictures of the case below.
Hope this mini-review helps!

Thick, will turn yellow after a couple of weeks unlike other hard clear cases (such as the Spigen) and it's not very clear. Its very visible on the phone and defeats the purpose of it being clear.

I just got this case in the mail over the weekend (still waiting on phone) and The case feels rather flimsy on its own and is incredibly thin. I have no doubt it'll protect against scratches, but feels like it'll do nothing for drops. I didn't expect Otterbox protection, but was hoping for some kind of impact absorption. Anyone have any experience with these cases and drops with previous devices?
Actually I went into the Sprint store on Thursday the 18th & purchased the white & silver speck case cor my HTC ONE that I was receiving in the mail the next day on the 19th & liked my case on it because it matches tne phone perfectly & fits it really tight like a body glove. It's hard to put on & hard to take off but I saw the clear gel case by speck o line yesterday morning & wanted that one because it will show my phone all the way around, I just dont want it to loosen up over time but this one I do have by speck is a hard shell case on the outside but a softgray rubber on the inside

I bought a ipad case from belkin not long ago, It has a kind of unpleasant smell. I throw it away.
I use benks

That was a dumb reason to throw it away, did it for and work as intended? The new small faxes away after a while

I want this case, too bad it has a loose fit, I might settle if they come out with more colors

What do you mean by loose? Does it come off easily like the Incipio Frequency (personally I don't find that a problem) but if it falls off than yeah that's too loose!

I bought 2 of this ref for my girlfiriend and i, and the fit is perfect for both or us. No loose point. But i can confirm one thing despite of the minimalist design this protection is incredible. My deary let her One fall 2 times, once inside house, once in the street very badly...after removing this Belkin protection to check the phone, not a single mark on it. I even used the belkin screen protect which is really easy to apply, no air bubbles, and really protective. Best ever used.

Well I went out and got one at target but quickly returned it, it was a tight fight like the phone is secure but the sides, top and bottom stick out so it makes the phone look roundish, basically made my htc look look like a galaxy s4 lol, the top and bottom stick out too much to where u can see a gap between the lip and phone, it was a bummer because if it was a perfect fit the case is extremely nice looking on the silver one and probably the nicest tpu case I've come across, I hope there is a revision of this

that's a shame
running out of options... looking for a less bulky case than the uag yet still protective. i've pretty much given up my hopes of sgp making a neo hybrid case for us HTC One owners.. not feeling any love from them lol
hopefully someone will step up and create a quality fake neo hybrid for the HTC One or something :fingers-crossed:

I feel u, the only case I use is my uag because I feel like I'm settling with other cases, diztronic would have been the perfect one but the camera cutout is a joke to me it looks like an eye

It's an amazing design just try it on before u buy, to see if the fit bothers u or not

I know I'm resurrecting an older thread, but I just wanted to chime in with my experience. I bought one of these cases on eBay, and I agree that the fit on the top and bottom leaves something to be desired. Other than that, I really like the case, so I got out my heat gun (not just a hairdryer), and heated up the top and bottom until they were warm enough to push in and reshape a little bit. That made the case fit a lot better. Be careful if any of you decide to do this, though. The grey part can melt if you get it hot enough.

Exact same problem with my Belkin Grip Sheer Matte case.

i think that this cover could be very nice ! but i should go for a 3mm because i think its the same for protection but the weight its better !
The case does add quite a bit of bulk to the phone. It makes it a lot wider than it needs to be, and there's sort of a sharp seam around the edge near the top. I stopped by a T-Mobile store today and picked up a Speck Candyshell Grip case for less than $20. It fits amazingly well, and really makes the fit of the Belkin look terrible, even after I got it to fit better with a heat gun.

Some one experience with Simply Carbon Fiber Case?

Hey Guys just got an advertisement for a site called Simply Carbon Fiber which offers a Carbon Case but you simply don't find any reviews on the Pixel 2 XL case so i thought I just ask here if someone has this case or can tell me about that
Here is the link btw:
https://www.simplycarbonfiber.com/c...cts/google-pixel-2-xl-carbon-fiber-phone-case
I tried one on my note 8 and I liked it except for open top and bottom, if this one isnt open on top and bottom I would buy
I contacted them its closed all the way around so I bought one! LOL

Ask and you shall receive!
So far I love it!! Just put on tonight! Thinner then my Spigen, looks unreal in person, full protection for once from scf and I'm a fan! Only negative is power and volume buttons are flush with case so you have to know where the buttons are but I'm ok with that as I've been using pixel so long I know where they are lol Otherwise sides are very grippy with a nice rubber texture (see photo). If anybody has any specific questions feel free to ask I'll try to help. This will be my weekend/going out, not at work case basically on and off with my leather wallet so I'll get a little use in this weekend

Loving the minimalist look with the carbon fiber back! The price seems pretty steep for just the back being carbon fiber. How do the buttons look on it?

Yes I tried most the Spigen cases, Diztronic, leather wallets etc
Favorites are these-
Daily Case: Spigen Rugged Armor, just right amount of protection without being too thick while not being overly thick if that makes sense
Weekend Case: Davis Leather Wallet case, just because I love wallet & leather cases & it is both! Great genuine leather, well worth the money. Also now the SCF Carbon Fiber one will get some weekend use too because it is super thin, almost like phone doesn't have a case on it and oh yeah it looks unreal in person!
Edit: Should also mention the Google Fabric Case was one of my favs I tried but exposed bottom was too risky to damage phone to me so I sold but over great style and feel! If they made with all sides closed I would buy again in a heartbeat!

wow that some suggestions, i really heard a lot of good things from the Spigen case also know a lot of people who have this case, i am using the Fabric Case on my love it really but at this temperatur we have right know with my working cloth the case is at least sweating as much as is do, another case i really thinking about is the RhinoShield CrashGuard because im actually really careful with my phone so i dont need that much of protection:good:
I have the rhinoshield solid suit and it's really bulky. It makes the device huge.on the bright side you don't even care when you drop it. I'm considering the scf now
But is not carbon radio proof?
Here is my experience with this terrible company. Order both case and screen protector which was in stock. Asked for a week when is my order going to ship. Ordered 7/27 - today they tell me - USPS lost my order and they are out of stock and they are refunding my money. What a bunch of BS - they never shipped anything and made up a lie to cover their poor customer service.

Yes you`re right but i dont think it`s 100% carbon fiber and it`s just the back which is really coverd with this material

Lol I know the feeling.
Here you go buddy. Lighting isn't that good also it's a xiaomi camera not a pixel one
As I said it's really bulky and heavy and removal is really hard but that 11ft drop certification makes you worry considerably less
