Review: Lightning Knight Hybrid Armor Defender - Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories

Lightning Knight, AKA LK, Hybrid Armor Defender Case
TL;DR:
TPU + Polycarbonate
No need to separate the two parts to install/remove the phone
Offers good protection - see the depth of the air-cushion fins
Feels nice
Not slippery
Buttons are very easy to push (clicky)
A bit bulky (as intended for my use)
I was surprisingly satisfied - If anyone has Q's, just ask. It's available on amazon here

I found this case on amazon and ordered before i received my 2 XL. It is a stop gap case until something nice comes along. The rubber on the side had flashing that i had to trim. I also do not think the lip that goes around the front is high enough to help with accidental drops if it lands screen down. It was an 8 dollar case and i got what i paid for.

"not tight fitting, can slip out"
I had high hopes for this exact skin, then read reviews on AArchosFans.com I think
The main cons were: iirc -not tight fitting, will slip out of skin, -the skin does not cover bezel around screen enough -collected dirt and static -smelled
Now, I could accept everything but "not tight fitting, can slip out" that would suck if a skin cover caused a tablet drop. anyone with first hand experience with this on a 80 G9, chime in
Just got one today for my 80. It's true its not all that tight, especially at the top and bottom (in landscape) but it wraps round far enough at the sides that I can't imagine it would actually fall out very easily. I'm happy with it.
Thanks,
I ended up ordering the new tuff luv leather like case on ebay

for $27.00 on auction, haven't received yet

Self-Adhesive Black Leatherette Case for $6 w/free shipping

I picked one of these up last week and it's fantastic. I was never a fan of leather cases that clamp on or wrap around the front of your device.
This leaves the Fire "naked" inside the case by using an adhesive pad like in some of the more expensive cases I've seen for the iPad. Removing/replacing the Kindle on the pad is pretty simple, but it doesn't feel like the Fire is going anywhere. Stitching is well done (another pet peeve of mine), and the magnetic latch seems decent.
I'm too lazy to take my own pic, so here you go (more at the link):

Edited original to reflect price drop/cheaper location.
I've had this case for over a month now, and I'm still well pleased with it. Durable, and the adhesive seems to still stick/unstick really well.

Case Junky surprised by a Generic.

I was finding it hard to find a slim case that was quality. I had the Bern and like it I just didn't like that it had a hump on the back and it enclosed the volume button. I ordered this carbon fiber wrapped case on Ebay for $5.99 and really forgot that I ordered it. It come in today and I am really impressed. It fits perfectly, it very thin. Its made with an extremely thin piece of plastic and wrapped in white carbon fiber(not fake). The phone actually feels light with it on and better in the hand (I have never had a cloth feeling case and it feels nice). It covers the screen and all corners. The best part is that its a flat back case but the camera is protected. It doesn't touch at all. Its a great case and I can't say enough other than I am about to order a black on.

iLuv Frost Case

Reposting this from the International Forum for those interested in this case.
My iLuv case just arrived. Here it is on a Pebble Blue S III. I will be exchanging the phone for a white one, but I wanted to post pics for anyone interested in this case with a blue phone.
The case feel very nice and is nice and slim. It also wraps around the corners just enough to provide decent protection. There's no lip to really speak of on the front so the case won't protect your phone if you leave it faced down. That's either a positive or a negative depending on how you like your cases.
Anyhow, here are the pics. Enjoy.

Orzly SoftSkin 10 PACK

When I bought my MotoG in December I also ordered this pack of silicon mate feel cases.
Orzly SoftSkin 10 PACK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/SoftSkin-PU...qid=1396033767&sr=8-1&keywords=orzly+softskin
The feel is quite good, are very soft, with a mate looking. The adjust is not very straight, but rarely its removed when I take the phone out of my pocket. The silicon has not been deteriored in this 3 months of use... instead the white one, that is more used, keeps good. The silicon is a dust magnet, so my back cover don't have a good looking, but notihng you can't clean easily.

Personally I'm very happy with this cases, I have a big hand so the MotoG without case doesn't fit very well on my hand, so the extra size of the case helps me for having a great grip of the phone. They are quite cheap, so I think it was a good deal.
Do they fit well on the phone? Can you upload a photo of the phone with one of them?
