Ok so when I ordered my Pixel 2 XL on launch day I went to add a case from Google - I like the new ones for Pixel 2 - maybe the red 'coral' one for me. But even ordering the phone on launch day it says all XL cases are sold out. Is there anywhere else online to order them or which UK phone shops will stock?
cloth case
Try verizon. I just ordered a black cloth case from there today.
Great case nice fit but I dropped the Phone and although the phone was fine the case is completely scuffed up. The fabric doesn't hold up at all to falls

You've probably found a case by now, but I bought one of these at Best Buy. They only had the black case, but that was the color I wanted anyway. Might give that a shot
Just got the all black XL 2 cloth case. A+ in my book

Mine in graphite just arrived. Feels really nice.
Got mine yesterday and loving it so far, just not sure how it's gonna hold up going in and out of the pockets.

Got the carbon one as well for my 2XL. Wish it had coverage all the way at the bottom. Other than that it feels awesome and adds minimal bulk/weight.
Got this case and loving it so far. Although I wonder if any screen protector will work along with it as the fabric lips are just marginally above the screen.

Sorry for the late reply I found it on Flipkart luckily at the time when the phone was released, not sure if it is available now, but you can check
Dbrand Grip - $34 - Shipping January - March for first pre-orders
Rhinoshield Crashguard - $25 - Shipping late Dec for pre-orders
Which one will you be trying and what are you using in the mean time?
I saw the d brand but didn't see an option for the pixel xl 2

Right now its only available via pre-order on this site. It will not give you an option and they stated they will be contacting customers at some point to confirm device needed.
I ordered the Rhinoshield Crashguard. Really excited to use a bumper case for the first time.

Rhinoshield was great for me on my 6p and I've already ordered mine for 2xl

Just paint it your favorite color...
I also had the rhinosheild on my 6p, with a nice dbrand skin was a great combo.
I'm on the fence about pre-ordering the rhinoshield for my 2xl.. we'll see how it goes with my seemingly futile search for the "perfect" (aka it doesn't come off when i put pressure on it to wipe off fingerprints etc) curved tempered glass screen protector..
RIght there with you on the TGSC. I ordered a couple of dbrand but may swap before they start shipping if I see Rhino offers a better product for me at a cheaper price.
The bumper cases have quite much benefits for performance. This uncovered back should dissipate more heat than others.
They are having a Black Friday special 60% off so I'm gonna wait starting Nov 23rd at night
I have both on pre-order.

Yes, 5 days only!
Sweet, thanks. I doubt this offer will extend to pre-order items but I will try in 12ish hours
I think I will still keep my dbrand grip order just because I want that red dragon skin that ships with some combos. I'm afraid the rubber is going to be too bulky and grab my pockets too often to enjoy the case in day to day use.
That Rhinoshield offer is only for last year's Pixel. When you follow the prompts it tells you what phones it is for. I could be wrong, but that's how it reads.
Yup, checked it just a few moments ago, just a I suspected. The Pixel 2 XL is not on sale, however the bonus email they send out may have a promo code that can be applied.
Looks like 10% off for bonus offer

There's already a discussion on cases/screen protectors for the Pixel 3 XL. However, I'm not seeing much talk about skin options.
After watching a few review videos, I'm nervous about just how easily the matte glass on the back scratches and gets marked up. One reviewer even seemed baffled by how easily the back of his 3 XL got marked up, considering the phone was in a case from the very beginning. You can see him talking about it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzERR48mz6o&t=90s
With that said, even though I have a Spigen case and tempered glass screen protector sitting here waiting for the phone to arrive on Friday, I'm still very hesitant to install the case without a skin/wrap for the back. I went ahead and pre-ordered a DBrand skin that fully covers the back. But after talking to DBrand customer service, it sounds like the wraps won't be shipping out until late next week, at the earliest, since the first batches are still in production.
With that in mind, I'm looking to see if anyone else has another option for a back wrap, that they know of. I'm a nutcase about keeping my phones pristine, so at this point I plan on just leaving the phone packaged up until the DBrand skin gets here, even if that's still 2 weeks away. Unless there is another solid wrap option that currently has products ready to ship. I did check out SlickWraps but their site doesn't indicate how quickly they could get the product shipped.
Anyway, open to ideas/discussion.

Watch Austin Evan's review of the Pixel 3 and XL. He had it for like 1 day, and after 1 drop the glass back on it was completely shattered and broken. This is not a case I would personally just put a skin on it. It needs an actual case unless you are 100% sure it will never be dropped. I'm thinking like iPhone 4 glass breakages here lol.
I got the Spigen Thin Fit, and if that's not enough, I got a cheapo TPU case that should be a little better for shock absorption.

He's not saying he's putting just the skin on it. He wants to put a skin on it before he puts it in a case and is wondering if anyone knows of a skin that's available now.

Ah I mis-read. I thought he was wanting to use the skin instead of the case.
To answer OP's question, I used Xtremeskins on my Pixelbook, cuz at the time they were cheaper than Dbrand and more customizable than Slickwraps. They have a PIxel 3 skin, but it's still pre-order, and they're UK based so shipping took a few days.
I can't imagine you'll find much right now, since it's so new.

Yeah, everything I'm finding is still pre-order. So when my Pixel 3 XL arrives Friday, I'll probably keep it in the box until my DBrand arrives. Hopefully it will be sometime next week. I just think it would be a real shame to throw the phone in a TPU case and immediately scratch the back of the phone up, just from the case rubbing/pressing against it. I'll definitely be testing my ability to hold out while this phone just sits on my home office desk while I work all next week.
But in the end, it will be worth the wait to keep the phone in 100% "like new" condition. Especially for resale. I did this same thing with my OnePlus 6 (DBrand skin > Spigen TPU case > full coverage glass screen protector) and I'm now able to sell the phone for top $ since it still looks brand new.

Good call out. Just ordered one as well. Now I'll have to see if the DBrand or Slickwraps arrives sooner. Slickwraps did allow for expedited 2 day shipping for $6. I went that route. Hopefully that means I get it by Tuesday. But it will probably still be Wednesday, given the weekend.
I ordered a DBrand skin last week as well as one from SlickWraps.
DBrand hasn't sent any updates either but their website still says pre-order for their 3 XL skins. Hopefully that ships this week. However, I'm getting annoyed with SlickWraps. It's been 5 days since I ordered with no updates or notifications of shipment. And they indicated that they had inventory and were no longer on pre-order.
I'm going to ping SlickWraps support. If they say it hasn't shipped yet I'm going to cancel that order and just hold out for DBrand.

Just saw your signature that you went from the OnePlus 6 to the Pixel 3 XL which is exactly what I am doing (when it finally comes out in the UK)
I ordered both a DBrand True Color - Yellow skin and a Slickwraps Colorshift - Green/blue skin.
Slickwraps was ordered on October 9th and still says "Processing"
Dbrand was ordered on October 19th and still says "Processing"

I emailed slick wraps a few days ago because at that point they're website said everything was in stock yet I hadn't received a shipping notification. They responded on Monday with the typical "we're overwhelmed with new purchases and our warehouse is heavily backed up". Wednesday and still nothing...

Anytime you order in/around those massive sales they do (like 50% off) you can expect delays. I'd guess it'll be around 3-4 weeks

If I don't see anything by next Monday I'm cancelling my order lol. 3 to 4 weeks is not acceptable these days. I can't remember the last time I saw a company back logged that far out. Hopefully this isn't the case

LOL! Good luck. I tried canceling my order yesterday, 6 days after placing my order with no updates, and they basically told me to screw off. They said they will not cancel orders unless the cancellation comes within 2 hours of ordering. I tried arguing it and said they were being misleading because they indicated the wraps were in stock when they clearly aren't. They responded with the exact same response the second time. I requested that they refund the $6 I paid for expedited shipping, at the very least. They even refused to do that.
I'll never buy SlickWraps again, because of this BS. If it wasn't relatively cheap, I'd open a dispute with my credit card company. But it's not worth it given the price point.
Now that we got Pre Orders in.
what Cases you guys getting to protect your new phone..
im leaning towards Caseology Vault or Spigen Rugged.

Ringke Fusion Clear. I love seeing the actual phone.
Commando, kept in a leather pouch.
Not sure yet, maybe Ringke Fusion Clear to see this badboy device!
I will go with latercase. Not loving the "cyber" style for the camera, but the feel of these cases are simply unmatched. Rocking one on my OP 8 PRO and I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
For me i got GhosTek

I ordered both the Spigen Rugged Armor (as usual, love these!) and the Ultra Hybrid because it has a transparent lower back. Might keep both, might send one back.
I ordered the stormy 6 pro case from google.
Spigen thin-fit for now already have it just waiting on phone. I like the look of the black/gold caseology parallex but it isn't in stock anywhere right now. I might get a clear case eventually just hate how they get smudged up so easily.
I ordered the Caseology Vault case in black
might get this one for now, its cheap enough until more cases start to appear

Never had a case. Don´t think I will get one this time.
I went with the Caseology Vault in Sage Green. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B096T8JPP9
I'm debating what I should use my Google Store credit for purchasing the Pixel 6 Pro and Buds A on. Either one of the "official" cases, or the Pixel Stand 2 when it's available. Or both.

I've never had a Dbrand skin but the quality feel is excellent. I got the Matte Textured skin and it feels so good. It feels really durable well made not flimsy and a very precise fit. I took my time installing, applying heat to make sure it moulded to the phone perfectly and all the way to the edges. I choose the blue accent Google logo and after a little heat and rubbing you can not tell they are separate pieces. I'm really impressed with it.

In my personal opinion. if it is not better from Dbrand its will be same quality. I remember before i was always order from Dbrand. After trying Xtremeskins for last 2 years i much prefer Xtremeskins
