Ordered the Google Live case Slim Protection and it is essentially a hard shell case offering very modest drop protection. The quality of the material and the photo is excellent. The creation interface is easy to use and offers quite a bit of modification ability and important tips. I got the case about 9 days after ordering it. I wish it had a little more corner protection and for that reason I may limit its use and pick up another case for regular use.
TLDNR; Quality case with excellent photo reproduction. Occasional use for klutz's like me.

Thanks for the info.
What about the grip? ( The grip is basically the only reason I'm using a case in the Pixel 2 as it's very slippery when naked).
They told me that the Google fabric cases are very slippery. What about live cases?

Yeah it is slippery. Good question that I should have mentioned.
I just got a dual-layer places live case for the pixel 2. I like the feel of the case as it isn't slippery for my grip. I also like the "clicki-ness" of the buttons and the protection it provides (there's a raised, rubber lip and that's a good thing). The top and bottom ports are also protected. My only issue is with the double-tap on wallpaper feature, which takes you to an outdated and useless version of the explore nearby feature on google maps. I'd love for this to be disabled. Also, it's pretty expensive.

Didn't really see anyone get something like this, so I ordered it and I'll review it once it gets here.

Leather case
I also ordered this armband, so i'll review that too.
Armband
Thanks for the effort here, and the expense put into it. I havent seen the arm band before - I have seen the leather cases, and have wondered how they fit and how well they protect. Looking forward to your reviews.... post up some pics too?
I have purchased 3 or leather holsters from ebay for my Atrix.
Still haven't found anything I liked.
Got the leather case (1st one) depicted today. It is a good case for being under $10, but I was disappointed when I overlooked the fact that it doesn't have a cut out for the power button / fingerprint scanner! I just cut one with an craft knife, but would not recommend the case because of that. Still waiting on the second one. (Should upload pictures soon)
The arm band looks interesting. Will the phone fit in it with case on like the otterbox commuter?

Kinda figured there wouldn't be a cutout for the power button/fingerprint reader based on the pictures of it. Though, i kinda find it funny that i can't seem to click on the different pictures on their page to get a better view. Unless it's just an issue with Chrome.
I'm actually quite a fan of Pure.Gear's leather snap-on case. At first i wasn't sure about it... but after using it... it's quite nice. slippery enough to slide into your pocket... yet enough grip that when holding it, it doesn't feel like it's going to slide out of your hand. fair bit thicker than the other snap-on cases made by Pure.Gear...
This is the Qubits Snap-On case for the GSM Galaxy Nexus.
This does not fit the Verizon LTE version.
It is very similar to the Incipio Feather and the Case-Mate Barely There.

The case fits perfectly and is very snug. The case has a rubberized coating on the inside and outside of the case. There is a small lip on the front of the device for minimal lay-on-the-table design. The side edges are very smooth, but the top and bottom edges are a tiny bit rough. It isn't uncomfortable, and I don't really mind. With this design, the top and bottom are halfway exposed, but comparing with the Feather, it does cover more. The case is fairly thin, but not as thin as the Feather. Basically, this just gives me more grip to hold the phone.
It is only $8.90 with prime shipping, a great value IMO.
BTW I have a skinomi screen protector on at the moment, but will be applying XO Skins very soon.

Figure it was better than creating one in the "want to sell" forums for jusgt one case....Thanks guys...PM if u want this
I got it for only around $5 from Amazon. But after one or two days of usage I found it too slippery. I'm waiting for mesh case they provide more grip IMO
Is there gonna be any mesh cases available?

I was extremely paranoid about scratching my screen. However, I have the absolute worst luck when it comes to install a screen protector with NO bubbles. Im kinda OCD, and if i install a screen protector and there is even 1 single small bubble I have to throw it away and start over. After many failed attempts, I started looking for cases with screen protection built in. I ran across this case on Amazon...
http://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-PREMIUM-LEATHER-QUBITS-PACKAGING/dp/B0062VEF98/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325196994&sr=8-1
At only $8.95 I thought this was a steal. Judging by the photos it looked like it could do the job of a screen protector and case just fine. In fact, it would probably protect the screen BETTER than just a regular screen protector in case it falls.
After using the case for a day now, I can say I am extremely pleased with it, especially since its so cheap . Using the Gnex with this case actually feels more comfortable in my hands than without. Here is a run down:
PROS:
Feel more comfortable to hold.
Magnetic clip makes it easy to secure case.
Material feels great.
Really gives a sense of protection.
Phone feels really secure once placed inside.
You can use the extended battery (see images below).
Cons:
With the extended battery, the on button can be a little difficult to press
Can add a little too much bulk for some people.
Taking the phone out of the case can feel difficult. Try too hard and it will pop out so be prepared.
With extended battery, the device slightly rises above the plastic clip.

To sum it up, if you want a case that can also provide screen protection on the cheap, you should check this case out
This is a review of Yoobao HTC One (M7) slim case: http://www.kevikev.com/Yoobao-Crystal-Protecting-PC-Case-for-HTC-One-M7-YBHTCm7-tpu.htm
Some of you guys maybe familiar with my reviews, a TON of stuff I do for N2, N7, and S4 (the complete review link in my sig). I just received review samples of Yoobao cases from www.kevikev.com (the only authorized US dealer of Yoobao products), and beside N2 and S4 stuff they included by mistake M7 case. So I figured to make a short write up for the benefit of anybody who is interested in super slim case for their HTC One.
It's a super slim plastic case with a very nice rubbery matte finish. The plastic itself is semi transparent. There are a lot of color options to suite everyone's taste. This case is for those who are after improving a grip of their naked phone and also protecting back of your phone from being scratched. It doesn't offer full wrap around protection of top/bottom of the phone, so you have to be very careful since you can't rely on this case providing an adequate drop protection. It's mostly to keep it super slim and to give you a better handling of the phone to avoid dropping it. As you can see, all the port openings align perfectly, and button cutout offers an easy access. This case also comes with a screen protector of a decent quality (not your usual ebay cheap stuff) and a very generous micro-fiber cloth which I'm sure a lot of people will find useful even after installation of sp.
So overall is a very nice lightweight case that will blend in with your phone without any additional bulk.
Here are some pics (sorry, i don't even have a phone, just pics of the case):

I have been looking around for a good Skin that covers even the curved edges of the Nexus 5 screen, offers best protection.I eventually stumbled upon Gadgetshieldz. They had a good collection of skins and screen protectors but i was not sure about the company nor their pricing as they were half of dbrand.I researched through the internet and found that it was an indian company
Without thinking further i blindly ordered a "White Carbon Fiber Skin"(i blindly ordered because i live in India and i was sure to get the product within a week or so) and guess what?!
The quality was excellent.I find the texture truly amazing It's a white carbon fibre.The delivery was fast than expected.The prices of these skins are half of dbrand.The skins include protection for the front, back and sides although I didn't bother to apply them on the sides due to the matte finishing.But at last i did and my N5 feels like a new phone
The downside is that there's no spray and not even a cleaning cloth that's very bad.
I've attached some pics of my Nexus 5 with the skin applied

The NEXUS logo blends really well with the skin.Overall I'm quite satisfied with my purchase. The skin is quite grippy and it's better than the original as its resistant to fingerprints. It has a nice feel to it. The cutouts are very precise
Pros: Durable,wide range,faster shipping,Extremely cheap
Cons:No spray,Cloth or cleaner
By the way if anyone is interested i'll leave the link here:https://www.gadgetshieldz.in/skinnova-skins-for-nexus-5.html
Their site:https://www.gadgetshieldz.in/
.And now that I have installed it, I can vouch for the fact that indeed its a great Skin to have for the Nexus 5.
Hope you guys like the review.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
Update:With pics
Whole body covered with Carbon Fibre
