spigen neo hybrid vs slim arm our, which offers more protection?

I can't decide between the two of these, anyone who owns these let me know what you think of the protection they offer.

I bought both. They marked them as shipped a week before they actually shipped them. I still haven't received them.
So, to me, they offer the same level of protection, which is zero.
For others, the buttons stick and cause random reboots. They subsequently have to take the cases off, which leads to zero protection.
My answer, is to buy from another company. Maybe Ringke, those are popular. So is Acase.

Amazon.com: Spigen Google Nexus 5 Case Slim [Slim Armor] [Infinity White] Air Cushioned Protective Case with Dual Layer for Nexus 5 - Infinity White
The Slim Armor has a lot of protection. The inside of the back cover has raised cushions. The sides of the case are very large and feel almost like foam. I think this case would hold up very well if dropped.
Even still works with a wireless charger. I'm using the Nokia DT-900 here.

Looking for case with kickstand.

Hello has anyone come across a case for this phone with a slim kickstand like this please?

I don't know that one, but I saw bunch of kickstand cases on Aliexpress, you might wanna check

List of Google Pixel 2 XL Cases

I thought I would start a central location for the new Google Pixel 2 XL cases. These are the ones I found on the web for now. If you find any, feel free to share.
For a list of Google Pixel 2 XL Screen Protectors, take a look at - https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/accessories/google-pixel-2-xl-screen-protectors-t3684327
It's a little hard to find when you search for "Google Pixel 2". Searches come up for the OG Pixel for like 2 screen protectors. I'm sure there are more from other brands but I only listed from those that are reputable and known within the community.

According to their site, they will have cases. I couldn't find it on Amazon. I have updated the first link with it.

Are any of these belt clip style?

Seidio I know will have belt clips. I will probably get a Caseology Parallax and just buy the holster.

Really hoping Diztronic releases one at launch for the the XL. By far my favorite case brand

Need a unicorn beetle pro, priced so much better than OtterBox....

Great thread to centralize all the cases for the new Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. I came across the Ringke Fusion one on Amazon:

Have you used this brand before? Does the dual layer add thickness?

i got caseology parallax
i hope it is good and arrive before my phone

I'm going with the Spigen Rugged Armor case. I have that case for my Pixel XL, and it provides just the right amount of protection while keeping the phone slim and attractive looking.

Does anyone have any experience with dbrand skins and rhinoshield crash guard bumper case? Do they generally work well with one another

It's pretty slim for a fusion case, but not as slim as a thin clear case.
I had the rinke fusion on my oneplus3 and pixel XL. It's a nice case in may ways, but the shiny, smooth clear plastic back means it's one of the greatest fingerprint magnets on earth and usually ends up looking crap. I got bored of cleaning it and wiping it all time, so I replaced it with an Incipio octane, which has a frosted clear back that does not pick up fingerprints. The Rinke is slimmer than the incipio, but you should get better drop protection with the octane.
Why can't case manufacturers offer fusion cases with a matt finish on the clear back? Sure, a smooth finish shows off the phone better, but only if you hold it with gloves. Maybe it's just me that thinks this way!

Nice List of cases. Can you also add some tempered glass listings for the Picks 2 XL as well? Thanks, mate.

Waiting to find out about the UB Pro. Really nice case with holster. I already checked out the OtterBox Defender. They offset the holster's clip (the part that snaps the phone in) in the opposite direction on this model for some reason. Meaning I have to wear it on my left side, upside down, or spin the phone 180° to snap it into the holster. Not gonna happen. Looking for a different solution.

I'm going with the Google fabric case in midnight. Something about how different it looks and the novelty draws me to it.

Depends on what you mean by durable. I had one on my 6p and did a great job holding up against scratches/scuffs while making it more grippy (CF textured vinyl). However, at the end of the day, its still a piece of vinyl so it wont do much for drop protection.

Case/Covers

Anyone pick up and decent covers? Appreciate if you provide links.

I'm using a Xundd case from AliExpress. I've had cases from Ringke and Spigen and honestly the quality of this is better.
It's also much better than the ****ty included case.

I used several Nilkin flip-cases for several Xiaomi's. Great cases which protect my phone very well. But now with my MI 10 I have trouble with NFC and WiFi. Without the case it's performing much better. Anyone else facing this problem. And anyone who does have an advice for a flip-case who does not affect NFC and WiFi? Thank you in advance.

I'm currently using Ringke Fusion-X camo case. It's very solid tbh. Drop protection for sure & also it protects the rear camera. Go with the camo like mine if you hate fingerprints on the case haha

I have chosen Spigen Crystal, good protection and nice view

Question Pre-ordered Fold 4. No Aramid cover?!

I loved the Aramid case/cover from the Fold 3. Doesn't look like Samsung are offering it (yet?) for the ZF4? Anyone found a solid alternative yet? I know the Latercase can be pre-ordered but it's at least a month out for delivery.

I couldn't find either so pre ordered the later case, ill just grab a ringke or spigen from Amazon to have if the latercase shows up late.

There is one on Amazon that I am considering, but not from Sammy. It is also kind of pricey!

I see there's a "GooseBox" carbon cover on Amazon now. Hmmmm.

Had the Aramid on my Fold 3 since launch and love it. Other than Latercase I've only found a decent collection on AliExpress and some of those shipping times aren't so great.

I have the latercase and the samsung one for my fold 3 but mostly keep the latercase on it. Just seems to feel better in hand and i like the weave better

The latercase drops the teardrop cutout around the flash LED, finally! It's pricey and by the time it ships (it's at LEAST FOUR WEEKS out!) the cheaper alternatives will show up on Amazon. i.e. Timecat

Only positive reviews about the case and store from Fold3 users. So I ordered this...
