Just got the Midnight Navy color and it's really cool. nice color that looks dark indoors but definitely looks navy outside...very cool. good camera protection, too. a little bulky, in the sense that it's thicker than a normal TPU, but i've got a normal smoked matte TPU but it has no camera protection so that's a big nono with this huge cam bump..don't wanna break that sucker! here's some shots of it: (gallery: https://postimg.org/gallery/2vgo75h1e/)
got the same case, it is nice.
I have the same case and it does have camera protection in the sense that the lens would not hit the table if it were placed on a flat surface.

exactly, that's what I meant haha. the lens pops out so far and that seems to be why others are breaking the glass so easily. I'm babying this thing everytime I set it down!

that is the same exact case in the same color i have. i just love the case. it's rugged but looks nice. don't see myself using any other case except this one.
Is it hard to press on volume buttons?
nope nice and easy but not too easy

I'm currently using an Elago Breathe case and I absolutely love the way it feels and how thin it is but it doesn't cover the entire bezel of the phones, leaving tthe top and bottom bezel unprotected. So does anyone know a good slim case that covers the whole bezel?

If clear is your thing, this case is really nice.

It's so slim. Can't imagine it's much protection. It has a nice feel to it as well and it's got a good fit. No real front lip, so doesn't protect your phone if you put it face down.
If you have the pebble blue phone, they make one with a blueish tint too.

I have that exact case on my pebble blue and can confirm the no face down protection. I think it looks smart in my opinion better than the only other option which is a lightish blue .Someone else has it on this forum as well and has posted pictures so if you're interested have a search and I'm sure it will show up.

Go with an SGP Modello or Capdase case.
I have the SGP Modello. It's a nice case. Not as thin as a Case Mate Barely There (as an example), but still quite thin and covers everything. Good fit. Not much grip, which I like, but not everyone does.

Rocketfish Snap-On is is a bit thicker than what you have now, but not very bulky at all, and covers the bezel. The gray goes well with the pebble blue.

Just remembered I have bad experiences with SGP cases. They have a tendency of fading out/losing/changing colors. I instead decided to go with this generic one

I have the one in blue. Its an OK case. I actually put it on and took it right off. Its a bit too slippery for me.
Tpu cases work very well. Has good overall protection. Doesn't protect your screen from shattering but it will protect it when you put your phone face down.
I've had the carbon fiber black since I bought my One, but after a few months the texture scratched and came off. I used sand paper in water and then some Krylon Fusion for plastic paint and now my case looks good again!
So if your case looks battle worn, it couldn't hurt to try.

Interesting, I was looking at buying the CF case. I have a question for you, are the volume buttons more easily triggered with the dual pro case? I had a silicone case from VZW and with the protrusions for the volume buttons, they became way too easy to hit and I was constantly adjusting ringer volume when I didn't want to.

Quite the opposite really. The silicone used as the first layer of this case is a bit more stiff than I found with other cases. The buttons are actually as tactile or "clicky" as they were when I got the case.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
I actually really like this case, looks like when it inevitably gets scratched I can fix it up.
I have the same case, the buttons are hard to push in for volume. I have read where super glue on them on the inside helps to make it easier. Has anyone tried this?
Anyone bought this case from eBay and would like to share their two cents on?

Looks like a decent thin case that actually has protection at the top. Looking to pull the trigger on this one.

yep. i need that
Thin!! :good:
$5.99?? I got the 0.3mm cases at $1.50 each.
There's also a thread discussing it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2604742.
I have this case, it is very thin, its not TPU but still flexible. The finish is quite good, there weren't any sharp edges on the two black ones I got. The black one isn't see through. I wanted to get a clear one but they were out of stock, but from my previous experience with white/clear cases they discolour extremely easily.
It does get scratched, I have a few minor scratch marks on the back just from putting the phone in the car's cup holder, glove box etc. but you do need the right light to see them.
The case has raised edges around the screen such that the screen wont touch a table when placed flat on top of it. These edges also trap a lot of dust and make it hard to clean.
After a while dust gets under the case but so far it hasn't caused any damage to the phone.
Overall its a good case but you should think of it as a sacrificial item that'll degrade through use. Also, don't expect it to save your phone from a drop. It'll protect the phone from scratches at most.
Hope this helps you guys decide whether to buy or not.
Didn't like it
I bought the case you're talking about. I didn't like it very much. The fit is mediocre. The button cutouts are small, so it's hard to push the buttons. The main issue is that it just doesn't feel good to touch. The material is similar to the textured plastic you get on report covers. Most of this was mentioned in the thread someone linked to above. For me, the quicksand cases are way better and only slightly bulkier.
It looks nice

I'm using this, it's soft plastic. Not even a hard case. So don't expect any protection on shock.

Hi guys!
Got my white grip cover today and it's much better than I expected it to be.
Looks: It looks and feels phenomenal, hardly adds any bulk to the phone and provides protection too. The feel is similar to how my new One X felt. The back has a very nice soft feel to it, different from both back shells and flip covers.
Fit: Fits perfectly. Zero creaks or noises. Mind you, it doesn't click when you put it on. It's held there by the bumper around it. But the fit is very reassuring.
Protection: The back is much harder than the standard back plate, thus providing better protection. The bumper around it also feels decently protective. Buttons are still nice and clicky. Cutouts are prefect.
Worth every penny. Will be buying the blue one soon too! Go for it.
I have the black one and I would have to agree about how great it is. How is the white one? Do you feel like it could discolor pretty fast? Is the white bright or more like an eggshell white ?

I'd say it's on the brighter side of white. And, I guess the whole material of the case is of the same colour so I don't really think it could discolour. Why do you think it would lose its colour?

Oh, that! White I think will be pretty easy to dirty bit a wipe with a wet cloth will be good enough. I've used a white phone since the past two years and most of the stains go away by just using a damp cloth. Otherwise, a lens cleaning solution would always do the trick.
I have the red one and am really impressed with it. What other colors do they have?

Blue, White, Yellow and Black!
I preordered yesterday the white grip from amazon. It seems really beautiful and sexy
Hi although the official grip cover looks cool on the device and doesnt add extra thickness to the device.. I am not very confident about how well it would protect the device..hence I have been thinking about getting a Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit Case for the phone. Any of you who have been using the Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit Case kindly provide some feedback..how thick does it make the phone ? Does it really protect the phone well ?
Had a hard time trying to get a precise fit around the camera, flash and the FPS at the same time.
I've made a quick album on Google Photos for your enjoyment. What do you think of the combo, Clearly White, matte black back and matte white glass in the Pixel 2?

It's beautiful.
I've ordered the "Dragon" skin, because I only care about grip, if that skin is grippy enough, I'll stop using the Ringke Fusion case. Phone size is beautiful without cases, but so damn slippery to use.
Looks great! I have the opposite (black phone, white body sticker, black glass sticker).
Did you find it difficult to get the skin to adhere to the glass? I bought a single piece dbrand and could not get it to stay on the glass portion... wondering if I had a bad skin, oily glass, or something else...

The matte white skin from dbrand is a touch glossy. Not as matte as the black one.
So it's actually more slippery than a naked Just Black.
I would say the matte black skin provides better grip than the white one.
I installed a Dragon Skin. So far looks good and grip is better than naked. Let's see if I'm feeling confident with it...if not I'll put back the horrible case!
