Figured I'd start a thread for case options.
My favorite, and what I've used for a year now on my P2XL was the Maxboost mSnap Thin Cases Perfect Fit. Unfortunately they don't currently show anything for the P3.
My runner up was the Spigen Thin Fit. It didn't have the same full body protection as the Maxboost (sides were exposed) but I did like it a lot otherwise. Spigen does, apparently have the cases already, though they're not available on their website. They list 2 ThinFit options for the P3. A regular and a "360". Since I can't click on them I have no idea what the difference is. I WAS able to order one of these from Amazon. I'm assuming it's the regular one though. Figured it'll work until the Maxboost is released. Anyway, here's link: http://a.co/d/dcRtP8q
I really like Spigen cases. Would probably get one for this device.
This one is my favorite:

Yes, same! I've had a Spigen on my Nexus 5 for all 5 years I've had it and underneath the thing still looks brand new.
I've pre ordered the Spigen Thin Fit case in Graphite Gray off Amazon. It's currently showing an arrival date of around Thanksgiving. I hope it gets here sooner than that though!
My fav pixel 2 xl case by far was the fabric case, but i had like 8 cases, I change my cases like i change my wallpaper.
Spigen
Amazon has the Rugged Armor right now. I find it beats the Thin for protection. Somewhere in between is the Diztronic that have on the Pixel XL. It is not our yet for the Pixel 3, so I got the Rugged Armor for $12.99 out of stock. I have had one before and it is a very good, one piece TPU case with much better drop protection than the Thin Fit. I am pretty clumsy.
I have yet to see a Spigen Presidio case for the Pixel 3? Does anyone know if they are making one?
I love thinnest cases so for me i ordered MnmlCase.com
Is no one scared the cases could leave marks and scratches on the shiny frame?

Same here. I've always used the Grip version. I've dropped every one of the phones I've used it on several times and they always survived without so much as a scratch. Ordered one for the Pixel 3 yesterday. The only pitfall is they are a bit spendy but they are also great protection.

Thanks! Never heard of them but exactly what I need since I rarely ever drop my phone. Micro scratches are more an issue for me since I' always go caseless, but think I'll give this a go!
Well, Spigen canceled my order for the thin fit in gray. I don't want a black case, so meh.
Decided to order the cloth case from Google in fog, as it does look mightttyyyy fine on a white phone in their pictures. Wasn't thrilled with the $40 price tag, but whatever. My only concern is that it will eventually start looking dirty.
Yeah they are a bit pricey but still well worth it. I just bought mine and it should be here Monday ready for my Pixel 3 whenever they ship LOL.

I grabbed a couple of Google's fabric cases from Verizon's site as they have 25% off Pixel 3 cases going on right now. I also grabbed an Otterbox Symmetry clear case.
update: So now that I have my phone. The fabric cases are nice, very minimal and the charcoal and fog colors look great. The Otterbox, however, didn't work out. It was very bulky and got scratched in a few places straight out the box. Getting my phone in and out of it was a pain too. So now I've returned the Otterbox and replaced it with a Spigen Liquid Clear case. The Spigen gives a good amount of protection with a clean look to really show off my white Pixel. It has a nice grip to it as well.

That's odd. I ordered mine on Friday and received an email yesterday saying it had shipped. Perhaps they're out of them now? I've ran into that in the past with them but it always said something on the page about it.

The regular Thin Fit that you linked doesn't have any coverage for the top and bottom edges of the phone. The Thin Fit 360 does, and also includes a glass screen protector. The Amazon link for the Thin Fit 360 is http://a.co/d/acFpbNf

Use the code MNML20 to get 20% off your order. I used the MNML case on my Pixel 2 and it is the next best thing to using the phone naked. It doesn't diminish the feel of the phone at all and protects it against scuffs and scrapes which is exactly what I need. I don't drop phones (famous last words, lol) but hate cosmetic damage. The Pixel is a lovely slim phone and I really don't want to bulk it out with a thick case.
My clear case from Cimo just arrived. Still waiting on the phone, but it's a typical clear TPU. Not as thin as an X Level case, but not as thick as the Spigen Liquid Crystal cases. It will work until X Level releases one.

I was browsing around the AT&T web store, and saw these cases available. I'm happy to see the Incipio feather case make the list. While I typically don't put cases on my phones, I'm a big fan of the feather case. It's so low-profile that it almost feels naked (although, I'm not sure if the phone would still fit in the docks).

I agree. But the blue actually looks pretty good with the stock homescreen.
Incipio makes great cases. When i had my iPhone, that is the only case i'd buy. When my wife got an iPhone, that is the case i got her. They fit well, they arent overly bulky, and they are strong.
The only reason i havent ordered one yet is because i also got the dock and i dont think that the phoen will sit in the dock with the case on. That is a deal breaker for me.
I bought the speck but would trade for a feather if anyone is interested.
Personally the only case I'm interested in is a TPU case...And I'm not going to get one until there's a non-patterned one available. Who ever thought it was a good idea to have argyle print on a phone case?
Has anyone been able to find screen protectors anywhere yet? There is one built into the otterbox defender case i bought from att for my atrix when i get it - but i havent been able to find any screen protectors like i have for my captivate....

I ordered the two pack of anti glare screen protectors from att.com along with the body glove case.
The Speck cases look nice but they scratch easily, the feather cases tend to get worn from being rubbed on in your pocket and from sliding on tables, and the body glove always worked well on my Captivate.
Anyone have a link to these? I'd really like to buy one, I just cant seem to find them on any of the manufacturers websites nor AT&T online....
Try phantomskinz. Best screen protector I've ever had. 2 for 9.99 and feels like glass. I dont know if they are out yet tho.

about $30? I don't have the receipt in front of me at the momemnt so I don't know exactly... It is very very nice though. Glossy and soft on the inside and very thing... just no covering for the ports. but then again I have never had a case cover the ports so its all good. I plan on checking out the commuter and maybe returning the speck.

Oooh, yea the commuter covers the ports (which I always found annoying btw) I was leaning more towards the candyshell because it looks so...... beautiful. Does it make the phone substantially fatter though? Also, does AT&T charge a re-stocking fee for accessories?

I don't know about the restocking fee.. I'm going to guess no, because the guy that helped me out seemed like an informed, nice dude. And when I asked him about the return policy he didn't mention restocking.
I actually don't have my phone yet - I didn't pre order so I am going to be picking it up tomorrow morning. I have opened up the speck though and checked it out... the size of the case is not big at all. I think it is comparable or even slightly thinner than the otterbox commuter, if that helps you at all. It is in fact a really nice, well designed case. The black plastic is glossy, which could be a good thing (probably easy to slip in and out of pocket) or it could be a bad thing (aquires light scratches from being placed on hard surfaces). I will have to see how it holds up for a few days (I take great care of my things) but I might just end up keeping it.

Thanks . I've owned all kinds of cases from pretty much all the major manufacturers (otterbox, speck, case-mate, incipio, boxwave) for different phones and have never gotten the chance to try out a Candyshell before so, thats why I was leaning towards it. That was very informative and helpful.

yeah, I don't think you can go wrong with the candyshell. It is pretty nice all around. Especially if you don't care to have the ports covered, then this is just as good or better than the otterbox for you.
I just wanted to update... The Speck case IS NOT my idea of a case. It is too thick, and adds too much bulk to an otherwise slim phone without providing the best coverage. The rubber is annoying...Would NOT purchase this case. I am returning in the morning. I want to stick to the otterbox commuter.
The Incipio Feather does, in fact, come in black. I just bought one this morning when I picked up my Atrix at RadioShack.

Well no cause when I ordered this case the next day I cancelled this order cause I got another case that looked the same. But I still got a shipping email then about 12 hours later I got an email from supcase saying to disregard the shipping email that they would honor my cancellation. So no I don't have the case but I will have the similar looking case I mentioned made by Spigen tomorrow. The reason I cancelled the supcase and went with the Spigen was Spigen was offering a free screen protector. See below pic
>^.^< Sent From Meow HTC One
Anybody got the SUPCASE yet? I have one for the Moto X and love it. I got the SPIGEN Ultra Hybrid posted above and HATE the screen protector AND the case so I'm thinking about spending yet more money on another case.
I saw these cases on Amazon too and I really, REALLY like the look of the black with matte clear back. I think this is so much more attractive than the fusion/ultra hybrid cases everyone is talking about. I'd guess that the matte texture on the back is somewhat more grippy than the clear gloss PC, but without both in hand, I can't make that call. The price is good, so I might just order one to check out even though I wont have an N5 until Xmas. Also, the black/black looks nice too (kind of like the diztronic). I'm most curious about the button fit on these cases because I've heard some other people are having issues with button covers that are too tight.

Well, kind of, the Spigen and Ringke have a glossy finish on the back plate whereas the Supcase appears to have a "semi matte" finish on that part. I don't know about you, but to me, that's an important distinction to make. The Supcase probably hides dust under the plate better than the other two and I suspect it would also show fewer scratches just from being in a pocket. Even while being matte, you still get to see the Nexus logo so I just don't see the benefit to the Spigen or the Ringke. I'm sure in the next week or two, SOMEONE will post a comparison between the hybrids.

Before I put the case on the phone it looked pretty decent. That was just me looking at it before the phone arrived. After it was put on the phone, it just makes the phone feel cheap. The clear window on the back has multiple scratches already with extremely delicate use. I also can't find the buttons. They are flush and I can't feel for the - or + buttons. When I am searching for +, I usually hit the - or vice versa. The screen protector has various bubbles around the display that I can't get out plus because of the design of the case, the protector is lifting in the bottom corner and bottom middle causing a bubble affect in those areas. The protector and phone were clean (phone was literally taken out of the box five seconds before putting the protector on). I should not have the bubble issue that I am having. I've installed plenty of protectors before on various phones and never have I been so disappointed in one before.
I might just be complaining too much. There are others that have this case and love it so hopefully you will be in that group. There is a plastic sheet on both the inside and outside of the clear window so don't forget to peel off both. I ordered some XtremeGuard body protectors that will do the trick there but I'm also hoping to pick up a SUPCASE since I love everything about the Moto X version. I might just go ahead and prime it.

Well I honestly don't really care about that, what I care about the most is the one the offers better protection and doesn't add too much bulkiness. I went with the Spigen because of the good reviews, I have never heard about Supcase but yeah I'll give the Spigen myself a shot and wait for the future comparisons see which fairs better and then maybe get another one I'm actually thinking of getting the most slim case, but I'll wait to see which is the better choice.

Ordered a Black/Clear one from Amazon. Here's hoping...
Would love to see a three way review between these three similiar cases. If I could have the Ringke in all black, I'd be a happy camper. Unfortunately, I'm looking elsewhere.
I'm hoping that one of you guys throws some HQ pics of this one.

Is there anything slimmer out there?
I have that case... Try using it without the border....
I also have the seidio case... I just use the inner cushion part... It doubles as a thin case cuz I can see their logo on it... I don't think you can go much thinner
I didn't measure but I have a cheap Chinese TPU case and it looks less than a mm. It was less than $1 shipped.
I have the nillkin nature TPU case. Perfect fit, and only 0.5-0.6mm thickness. Not much "bulk" added at all when used.

I don't really like those kind of "translucent" cases... Had one for my previous phone and with time it became yellowish and ugly.
I also have the Nillkin nature, and yeah, most of these transparent cases do discolor over time, but for only $5 I'll pick up another one when that happens. As far as the case itself goes, I had one of those $1 TPU cases and the mold was a little loose, in particular the sides had a tendency to bulge outwards so I would definitely check the reviews and images before pulling the trigger on one of those. The Nillkin one is pretty spot on and the buttons feel much clickier. Nillkin also have a hard case that's almost as thin as the Nature case, I'll put a link below:
https://goo.gl/7Xus8N
+1 for the Nillkin, I also have this, some months now and not even remotely going yellow.
I have had cheap brand ones in the past that went yellow before now so holding hope this one will not do that.
Good case, light, slim and easy to remove if wanting to run naked around the streets for a bit

I had a 'barely there' case by Casemate on my M8, and was hoping they would bring it to the 10, but it seems they have discontinues that case for whatever reason.
Watch out for the spigen case, it has some issues with flash when using the camera. Otherwise it's solid.

It doesn't look exactly like the picture, but it was really inexpensive. I like the look of the HTC 10 so I got a clear case. I also figured that if it yellows a bit, I could always get a replacement for really cheap.

Mind posting some actual pictures of the case on and off the phone, please? :good:

Thank you kindly, looks real nice, especially for that price.
Do you suggest it?
I do. I have a more rugged case also, but only use that rarely because I feel safe enough with the thin case.
Thanks. Bought 3 of them just in case they get yellowish since they are so cheap and if I don't like it, well, too bad...
I've been rocking the Imak cowboy case (there's a review of it somewhere here). Keep in mind it'll probably have little impact protection but if all you're needing is scratch protection I find it perfect.
Slimmest case by far for me would be the included case from Yelun that was bundled with the TGSP. I've gone used only the HTC Ice View, Nillkin, and Spigen Crystal (I think).

I grabbed 2 myself.
For 77 cents, can't go wrong.
I'm at that point where I love my 10 but no longer treat it like a baby, so I still want some protection against surface scratches and what not, but still want to be able to enjoy the device.
Hopefully it holds up as well as the M8 did for me. Bought it on release day, used it up until the 10 release day, in just a slim case, not screen protector, and it's still in mint condition.
X-Level probably makes some of the best slim cases I have ever used. I first discovered them for my M8 when I visited Hong Kong and I've gotten them for all my phones since then: http://www.ebay.com/itm/X-Level-Lux...hash=item1a1de87d40:m:m4lwJH0dcr1dceg1As9H-EQ
They're also really cheap which is nice.
This is one of the nicest and slimmest that I've used: http://www.ebay.com/itm/360-Protect...hash=item3d2066daa1:m:mJx-cwyQu1UTdGuV1gRW8gw
So I'm waiting on my OnePlus 3T. Other than that the overpriced Otterbox and what's OK Amazon, has anyone found a good rugged case that doesn't add a lot of bulk to the phone? Thanks.

I found this Orzly's case so good, maybe too width for you though. Look up for "Orzly® Grip-Pro Case" (XDA does not allow me to share links yet)

Some people might say that an Otterbox case is overpriced. While I agree that they are certainly costly compared to other cases out there, they do offer some pretty good protection. I see it like this... Some people get insurance on their phone because they know that one day they might need to make a claim and get a replacement phone. Me personally, I've never had insurance on a phone and have also never broken a phone. So instead of paying a monthly fee for something that might happen, I pay a one time fee to ensure that I'm getting good protection on a costly device. With that said I do have an Otterbox case for my OnePlus 3T and so far it's been great.
You can take a look at Poetic Cases. I'm rocking now the Revolution on my Moto Z Play, model made for Z Force, and I can tell you, for under 20$, u cannot find other 2 pieces case with protection on display, some plastic. The plastic will scratch easily but in the end, not the shell worth, just the nucleus . It's a little bulky, steady in hands and the back piece is made from hard plastic and the edges of it from some nice good TPU.
Sorry for my bad english skills. Hope you got the ideea.
anyone thinking about rhinoshield? (https://rhinoshield.io/collections/oneplus-3)
I saw a video on youtube where a dude using this bumper case on his 3, tried getting the phone damaged by dropping the phone from various heights. the phone was unscathed even after falling from 22 ft (2 storey up). however in general usage, the phone will (likely) not be falling from a 2 storey building but a user's pocket height, so the case seems good. however, at 25 USD, it feels a bit pricier. but i guess that's a better protection/weight tradeoff than most fully phone covers.
what's your opinion guys?
I use a Spigen Neo Hybrid Case on my 3T and I love it!!!
Good protection yet slim (adds 3,25mm thickness) and beautiful!
For my eyes it is the best looking case out there that adds enough protection.
And even the price is not bad with 14,99 Euro here in Germany or I think $17,99 on amazon.com.

I have this case. Works well, and will work with the oneplus 2 holster from Seidio if you are so inclined. Also works with the TGSP without causing the edges to lift up.
Definitely would recommend and second the spigen case.

The faux carbon fiber look at the top is great too, gives a D-Brand kind of feel to it.

Could you give me precise measurement of the case (with calipers )? I'm currently using a Tudia Merge (rugged dual layer) and I find it kinda wide and thick (that's what she said...). This Spigen looks good, but I don't want to spend yet another $10-$15 if they're the same.

Oh, I didn't think about that. Sometime they do put them a bit smaller than real life, but I guess I can still get an idea about it.

I bought one last week because of that video and i already had a case, but I'm not impressed with their shipping. Its been one week and my order hasnt even left the state yet.

It's covering the microphone on the back!
The answer is OtterBox always. I have it in black and it feels awesome. Best protective case.
Picked up the Otterbox when I ordered my phone. Not sure how $25 is considered overpriced for the protection you want.
You get what you pay for.

So, I was looking for a new skin on my phone when I realized that I didn't want to do a wrap. If you're like me, you'll spend $10 and then remove the skin in like a week. After that you'll have to buy another one if you want to go through the process again. I'm not 100% into cases because of bulk and this is a damn sexy phone.
I scoured a few different places looking for a white thin case when I came across this: ELAGO THIN CASE
Here are my pros:
Fit is perfect
Cut outs are exact
This actually feels like it could be part of the phone
Has a Matte White look
Not TPU, its a hard plastic
Lots of compliments just in one day
Cons (Keep in mind, these are things people may not like but doesn't bother me)
Phone is still a little slippery
Buttons are now a bit more flush with the case
Zero lip over the glass to put upside down
The cut outs are exact so accessories are about 1mm from being perfect
I'm going back for the other two colors. This is an awesome case. Does anyone else have any ultra thin cases they can recommend.

Is there a promo code for that one? Kinda high in price.
got this today, it's going back. I have a skin on my phone, the case went on with ease on top of that and was still not snug
I got the Anccer in gravel black:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XTQKJY8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Preserves "caseless" feel, super grippy.
Do not spend 10 USD for just re-branded case.
Buy the exact same one just for 4USD.

Good call.
Edit: Just went to the link. I just don't like AliExpress. I had problems with them in the past. 20-39 days for a case when I can get it in 2 days from Amazon, meh... I'll pay the difference.

Really? That's a bummer. Mine fits perfect and has no movement. I don't have any sort of skin. I wonder if that's throwing off the fit.

It looks just as good in person.
Needs a top and bottom lip. Put your phone face down and it will scratch.

Nope. User a screen protector.. Cases with lips exist. This is for absolute minimalists.
Just went to the mailbox to get the Elago case I ordered after seeing this thread. I'm coming from the Spigen Slim case and, even by comparison, the Elago is ridiculously thin! I love it, but it definitely needs to be paired with a screen protector in order to keep the phone somewhat safe.
It is probably not nearly as thin as that case, but I usually buy Ringke Fusion cases for every phone I get. I love the way it adds the extra tactile feel to the buttons, and has saved me from many drops even on asphalt and hard concrete. I'm not sure how it is on the S8+ yet as my S8+ is not here yet. but I've used Ringke Fusion cases on OP3T, Nexus 6P, Nexus 6, Xperia Z3, and I have loved it on every phone.

Not even close.
Just a heads up. The Elago scratches and scuffs pretty easily. Not that I expected much from such an inexpensive case but, I've been babying my black Elago and, within 24 hours it already has 4 or 5 long scuff marks across the back. Not a big deal, just thought I'd mention. It would've been nice if they had used the same type of rubberized finish found on the Spigen and Ringke slim cases.
