'Fall Proof Case' Suggestions - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Hi All,
Posting here on advice of a kind reddit pixel community user.
I work from rope, repelling down buildings in NYC. Typically, everything I carry is leashed to my person in some-way, but I have yet to find a case for the pixel that lets me do this easily or reliably. Following a mishap at 25 stories up recently, my trusty pixel found its way out of my zippered pocket and discovered that it could not fly after-all. I need my phone to perform my work, and having a jerry rigged system just doesn't provide me with the confidence I'd like. I'm hoping the wealth of pixel knowledge in here might be able to offer some case suggestions that have well built attachment locations for a carabiner or knotted cordelette.
Otherwise if anyone has any out-of-the-box ideas. I'm all ears.
Thanks everyone!

I think something like that may be good for you

I use the SPECK Presidio Grip case. I dropped it a couple of times, some of the drops were really bad but the phone survived all of them without any damages whatsoever.

Rhinoshild Solidsuit or Urban Armor Gear

Dropped my phone any times with the UAG case and not a scratch on the case or the phone.

Nothing will survive a 25 story drop. Sorry. Maybe neck strap like those waterproof universal phone pouches?

Even the Rhinoshield bumper case works phenomenally well. I've dropped my phone countless times with just the bumper case and have never had an issue.

Perhaps, have a look at this: https://www.ipitaka.com/products/magcase-for-google-pixel-2?variant=4542502469660

These offer zero protection on the top and bottom edges. Waste of my $50. I loved the case till it dropped a certain way and my screen shattered. Threw the case away after that.

I'd recommend the RhinoShield ones. I've used two of them on my Nexus 6p and now the bumper one on my Pixel 2XL. The 6p bumper survived falling down the stairs, the bumper got scuffed but the phone was ok.

Life Proof Case

Hey guys I have some good news. I emailed Life proof asking if they have plans for making their case for the S3 and new iPhone and this is the response I received:
Thank you for your email. Our LifeProof design team is hard at work designing cases and accessories that can accommodate the majority of devices and applications out there, including other smartphone platforms such as the Android, HTC, Galaxy and others. You can stay updated on all of our product updates and releases via our Facebook Fan page at http://www.facebook.com/lifeproofcases. Thank you and have a wonderful day!
So hopefully it shouldn't be too long before we see some of these cases hit the market. Or at least get some news.

While I would be all over a case from lifeproof, I wouldn't get your hopes up. That response is the same canned one they have been sending out for months. They keep saying they are working on other phone brands, but have yet to come out with anything. They even posted pretty much the same thing on their Facebook Page like 8 or 9 months ago.
Try SGP products, such as Argos providing full protection. It's a vertical-flip leather casing. It also gives a pure leathery feel.

The sgp stuff is nice, but many people are looking for a waterproof solution for kayaking, snowboarding, etc. Leather isn't exactly up to the task.

You know a lot of people say that, and if I were just paddling on a lake or hanging on the bunny slope that would probably offer enough protection. (its what I do when I go to the beach) I really don't think that would even come close to the kind of coverage I would need for my uses though. Class 5 Rapids and zip lock baggies are not exactly the best of friends.
Right now I just leave my phone in my car or stick it in my dry bag and bring a waterproof Panasonic camera, and I am fine with that. It would be nice to have a lifeproof type option though, and I would be willing to pay for it.

If your looking for a waterproof solution and are able to go a few days without your phone or have a back-up check out www.liquipel.com
I originally had my Nexus S treated by Golden Shellback, but they nolonger offer individual sales. but was referred to liquipel as they do a similar treatment.
Ive yet to use liquipel but LOVED the treatment Shellback did on my Nexus.
Basically they nano coated the components of your device so rather then blocking water from getting into your phone, this treatment waterproofs the components and allows the water to flow freely thru your device without causing damage to it.
If you go this route, when you get your phone back just throw it into whatever case you want n your golden.
Why exactly do you need your phone in class 5 Rapids? Texting?

pictures, gps or god forbid something happens and you need to make an emergency phone call ?
Pictures, video, gps, music. No cell reception on the river, have to radio a Ranger station if anything goes wrong. Supposedly US Cellular just got a big grant to greatly expand cell coverage across the less populated parts of Maine, may eventually be able to text from on the water
I have read about liquipel and it sounds pretty good. It is more designed for accidental drops and splashes though it isn't truly waterproof.
A lifeproof case also seems like it would be toddler proof, that would be nice too!

Yeah I'm tempted to try liquipel, but I'm still attempting to persuade Golden Shellback to do it for me since I'm a 3x repeat customer.
Their process is similar to what liquipel does, but rather then putting the device as a whole into the chamber GSB disassembles the devices first to ensure every component is coated thoroughly during the bonding process

Poll: Case or no case?

Hello folks,
Long-time lurker here and I post before you today with small request - help me help you help me design a better dock!
I'm currently developing a modular multi-device charging stand and the issue I need help with is devices being used with protective cases.
I would be very grateful if you guys could take this quick poll and if you feel like it, provide a little bit of detail about your dock and/or case usage.
The stand is just about ready - I'm just finalising the device dock designs, then it's the initial prototype and if all goes well I will have some
preview models out for an early review (if anyone would like to review one please PM me and I'm sure we can work something out) and I shall post a little showcase here as well.
Many thanks in advance guys and gals!
Hmmm, it seems my Forum-Fu is weak - is there a way to edit a poll? Or would a Mod be kind enough to add two more options to the list?
"Yes. I'm thinking about a dock." and "No. I'm thinking about a dock."
Thanks again!

case save my screen a lot of time
I never use a case on my phone. Hated the thought of taking a nice slim phone and making it bulky. I just never drop it, not that difficult.
Definitely a case is a must for me.I have dropped and bumped my phone 2 or 3 times and the case did the job for me.Without a case I imagine my phone would have been just a broken toy and also by the way even having a good case adds to peace of mind since it adds a little protection value.
Sent from my Xperia Neo V using xda app-developers app
A case is important to me. I work hard for my money and will not take a chance on breaking it. For those that "never" drop their phone, good for you. As far as "ruining" the look of my sleek phone, I couldn't care less about bulk and changing the look of it. I'm not a kid that likes to show off, I'm an older man that uses a phone as a tool, not a show toy. Besides, some cases do actually look good.
Sometimes
I usually use a case when out and about but prefer to take it off whilst at home
Here in Mexico, most phone owners use a case (i.e tpu, silicone, hard plastic) because when don't have insurance plans like you do in U.s. Thus making it cheaper to buy a case ($4 - 8) than to pay for another phone or fix it.

That's OK if you use an easy-off/on case, but some of use those 2 piece hybrids that are a pain to take off and put back on.

Most people I know here in the US don't have insurance on their phones, so having a good case is just as important here as in mexico. Plus, paying $8 a month for insurance is pretty expensive. That's almost $100 a year. No thanks. I'd rather spend $25-35 once for a good heavy duty case and have it for the life of the phone.
I use urban armor gear case. Would be interested in stand for charging multiple devices at once.

I don't one and I wont get one. Just be careful. And it looks ugly tough.
Thanks for all the feedback guys. I've decided, at the risk of fragmentation, I'm going to give buyers the option of either a cased or caseless version of a devices cradle to attach to the dock - it's already going to be tailored to meet individual device needs, I may as well go all the way and offer this too.
As a follow up question:
The stand is currently aiming to support one tablet and one phone charging and displaying on the stand with the possibility of charging 2 extra devices at the same time - one would be resting on the legs of the stand (with small extrusions on the feet to stop the device slipping - this may not be able to fit every device but currently anything ~13cm in length should be fine), and one lying on your desk underneath.
Would people be interested in the option (depending on the size of the base stand) of an additional phone dock in place of a tablet dock? (Or if you're using a larger stand the option of an additional tablet dock? Subject to feasibility of course.)
Many thanks for the replies everyone, I'll be sending the initial design to be 3D printed Monday or Tuesday!
Sometimes the phone can fall to the floor. A simple case of rubber, even pleasant, when you take the phone in hand.
I agree
wolfen69 I think if I had a case like that I would just leave it on. I want a metal case eventually! That would be awesome!
Metal case will protect your device screen when it falls down, but not sensitive sensors, i guess. I'm currently using Samsung S-View case and i am pleased with it. :good:
A case ruins the beauty of my Lumia
But its better to stay safe
Just for the record: I bought my girlfriend some rubber case for her moto g. She bought her phone since it's launch on November and we weren't able to find a case for that model here in Mexico.
She had dropped her phone a couple times without a case, and the phone back got some marks and scratches. Now she had put the case on and dropped her phone in the middle of a street without noticing. When we ran down the street searching for her phone, we found that a car had ran over it, leaving tire marks on the lime green case. To our surprise, both phone and screen were intact, thus, we think a case is the best investment you can do when buying a new phone

I usually don't use a case. It was designed the way it is and should be in the form as is. Unfortunately I use an extended battery and hacked up my original back to my GN2 so I can't even go back to the original feeling of the phone.

Camera Bump Protection FIX

Hey!
Not a fan of cases, skins, or the like?
I have stumbled upon the best thing that fits inside the lump that protrudes from our lovely Nexus 5X's.
Paper Reinforcement Labels.
Those things we used once a long time in middle school now have a awesome purpose!
They fit inside the white lip perfectly and circle the camera module with grace.
When you stack three or more it creates a nice resting place for your phone.
Enjoy this little tip!
Let me know if you works for you!

Somewhere out there, an industrial designer is weeping... (No disrespect, if you're this concerned about protecting that area than there must be others that feel the same way.)
One would hope that it was designed to be durable from its inception, since it's quite clear that this area will likely receive many impacts over the course of the device's life, whenever the phone is put down without caution.
I hope Spigen produce one.
redneck engineering.

I've been on the fence about returning mine because I've been wary about how much protection it provides. Looks like I have the answer to the question I already knew.

Wow. I certainly hope you're right and this was just a freak accident. According to the thread on reddit, it only dropped about 1m, from a table onto the floor...
This is just one report (albeit a concerning one) - and it's still far too early to gauge if there is an issue here. At this time all we can do is wait and see (and try not to drop our phones).
On the subject of cases, bumpers, etc. I'm with the minority of those who go without - I like to use the device as it was designed. While I can appreciate the protective benefits a casing may offer, it's always visually apparent when there's a case on, (even the clearest/thinnest ones), and there is always some increase in size when it comes to handling, no matter how minimal. With the elephantine devices we have today, the 'bare' phones are big enough already. The 5X should have had much smaller top & bottom bezels, there's no need for it to be this tall. I wouldn't resent the large phones so much, but there are very few, if any, decent options for those of us who prefer smaller (around 5.2") phones.
I do use pouches/sleeves, but of course the phones are exposed when I'm actually using them, or if they're sitting on a table outside of their pouch. Over the course of a few years, I have accidentally dropped my phones a few times (Galaxy Nexus & Oneplus One, not the 5X thus far), and they have never received anything more than a few scuffs & minor scratches, of course their camera housings didn't protrude as far as that of the 5X.
Personally, I won't be concerned about the durability of the camera or the device in general until it's clear that there's an issue.

Bumper Frame Cases

I love to use very minimalistic cases that don't add much bulk to the phone. Mainly want one for protecting the corners of the phone if it is dropped. My preference is a bumper frame that does not have a back to it. I used to have one from Motorola for my Moto X but I cannot seem to find any for the V20. Anyone had any luck finding any yet?

That Sux,but,thank you for the news regardless & also for taking the lead in finding a bumper for this phone.
Nillkin made a nice one for several phones a couple years ago,but,it seems they've dropped that item from their line-up on newer phones.
I have zero interest in the POS aluminum ones that litter e-Bay,I'm sure you've seen 'em.
I've tried 'em out (on past phones) & for the most part,they're just downright awful.
Anyhoo,back to the RhinoShield:
I'm gonna hold out a glimmer of hope,as the phone won't be available in their market (Australia,I believe) for another two weeks,perhaps demand will grow & they'll change their minds:

Interesting. I wasn't aware they made one for the V10. Sure hope you're right and they produce one. Someone has to step up and produce one I'm sure. With the demise of the Note7, this phone is becoming a lot more popular than people expected I believe and I think someone will hop on board and produce one.

I had the OEM LG V10 Bumper, & as with most other current LG devices, OEM accessories weren't readily available to most outside of S. Korea, at least at phone launch time.
Makes no sense to me, why let the 3rd party mfgs get to market before selling your own accessories, SMH, yet, that's been LG's M.O. for as long as I can remember.....

It did look super nice on the phone and left that cool back open, but it did nothing to protect the camera which was soft, painted aluminum. I switched it for a different case. It seems like bumper cases aren't as popular now. When I had my G3, there were about 10 different manufacturers of bumpers. Really, all I want for this phone is something to protect the top and bottom and to keep the screen and camera hump raised off the surface.

Twisted Pixel

I carry my Pixel XL in my left pants pocket with baggy jeans and I've been noticing when I lay my pixel on a flat surface that it's twisted a bit. If I push on a corner it will rock back and forth corner to corner. If I give it a slight tweak with my hands it will go back to normal. I thought maybe it was just my case moving around a bit but I popped the phone out of the case and it does it without the case too. I confirmed with one other person that theirs is doing the same thing. I never had this issue with my 6P. Just wondering if anyone else had noticed this.

hmmm, that isn't good. I would contact google. Surprising considering how well it held up in the jerryrigeverything test.
Are you sure the surface is level and flat?

Sounds like the iPhone 6 and 6s lol

I've tried it on multiple surfaces with and without the case. At first I thought it was the case sliding around (ringke fusion) but it did it without the case. Also another person I know is seeing the same thing and runs their phone naked.

Well considering the pixel is thicker at the top than front. The slightest displacement in a surface will make it rock

Right but when I give it a tweak with my hands very lightly it will then lay flat. I've tried it on at least 10 different surfaces too. I think a few of them would have been flat at least.

I do t see how you could possibly twist the phone. It seemed very durable in all the test
I saw one pixel that sold on swappa with damaged corners from it being dropped. When I looked at the pictures, I asked the OP if it was twisted or an illusion, obviously no reply.. But it was severely twisted.
Mine is so extremely subtile that it's hard to see but I can look across the screen from one end to the other and see that there's a slight twist.

Yup... that FLICKERING problem seems to be happening to a lot of people...
Good thing Google has been proactive in replacing them
Same thing with mine. Purchased via Project Fi.

I'm glad it's not just me then. I was going to try and get a video of mine soon too, but thanks for posting a video of yours. What I see with yours is exactly what mine is doing. If i give it a little gentle tweak it's right back to normal.
