Google’s latest and greatest smartphone, the Pixel 2 XL, sports a stunning 6-inch screen set into an aluminum body with that signature glass inlay on the back. It’s a stylish look, but if you want to avoid chips and dings in the metal and scratches and cracks in the glass, then you better get some protection. These are our picks of the best Pixel 2 XL cases so far.
1. Caseology Parallax Series Case - Price: $14
The textured geometric pattern and clever blend of TPU and polycarbonate in complementary colors make this an eye-catching case. The shell is flexible and takes the sting out of any impacts, while the bumper section is hard. There are clever grooves in the sides to enhance grip, decent button covers, and a full range of generous openings for easy access to phone functions. It’s fairly thin, but still offers military standard drop protection. The burgundy and pink variety is pictured, but we also like the dark blue and gold.Buy it from: Amazon.com | Amazon.in | Amazon.ca | Amazon.co.uk
2. LK Ultra-Slim Clear Case - Price: $8
The Ultra Slim case Lightning Knight or LK is a good choice. There isn't much to it, honestly. It's an extremely thin, durable, lightweight clear case made entirely from TPU. The edges slightly wrap around the big 6-inch screen, keeping the phone safe, and that's about it. This is just a good cheap case. They also have black, and a few other transparent colors if you don't want clear.Buy it from: Amazon.com | Amazon.in | Amazon.ca | Amazon.co.uk
3. Incipio Carnaby Fabric Case - Price: $8
We all know that cases made with real fabric were gaining popularity. One of the leaders in the pack is Incipio and its Carnaby series case. This is actually my favorite case from the original Pixel and my Galaxy S8+. The Incipio Esquire Carnaby case is strong, durable, yet rigid. They use a hard polycarbonate plastic on the inside, and a denim jean type fabric on the outside. It almost looks like a pair of jeans. It's soft, easy to hold, and feels great in the hand. There are two colors to choose from, and you won't be disappointed.Buy it from: Amazon.com | Amazon.in | Amazon.ca | Amazon.co.uk
4. LK Hybrid Armor Case - Price: $9
Lightning Knight is another brand that makes tons of cases, and typically they work very well. The LK Carbon Fiber Hybrid Armor case is one of our favorites for the new Pixel 2 XL. LK uses a soft shock absorbing TPU inner shell and covers the outside in a soft matte finish polycarbonate shell. They've added some carbon fiber textures to the top and bottom for added style, squared off the edges for a symmetrical design, and laser cut all the ports. Meaning this case is thick without being too thick, keeps the phone safe, yet doesn't get in the way. It's a little bulkier than some, but a lot of buyers prefer that. Get it in three unique colors.Buy it from: Amazon.com | Amazon.in | Amazon.ca | Amazon.co.uk
5. Spigen Neo Hybrid Case - Price: $17
Spigen Neo Hybrid is another fan-favorite, and it features a design similar to the LK Hybrid Armor mentioned before. Only it's from a brand millions know, use, and trust. The Spigen Neo Hybrid features a shock absorbent inner layer made of TPU, with a two-tone rigid bumper frame covering the sides and part of the back of the phone. Then, they've added an extremely comfortable soft matte rubber texture to the back for added grip. Spigen's bumper frame covers a little of the back and crosses the entire bottom of the phone for added structural integrity. Meaning this case is slim, comfortable, stylish and will keep the Pixel safe. Millions of users love this case.Buy it from: Amazon.com | Amazon.in | Amazon.ca | Amazon.co.uk
6. Griffin Reveal Case - Price: $15
You’ll find a good line in protective cases at Griffin, but it also offers this minimalist Pixel 2 XL case that’s completely clear to show off Google’s design. Thankfully, although it’s very slim, it doesn’t scrimp on drop protection. The polycarbonate body is enhanced with a TPU frame and reinforced corners to safeguard your phone from falls of up to 3 feet, which is about typical hand height. Considering how slim this case is, it offers a decent level of protection and it’s a good choice if you don’t want to spoil your Pixel’s aesthetic.Buy it from: Official Site

7. Vinve Slim Carbon Fiber TPU Case - Price: $8
If you're looking for a slim, cheap, yet durable case that will get the job done this is worth considering. Vinve is using a design that's basically identical to Spigen's number one case, only it doesn't cost as much. The Vinve Slim is a soft and flexible TPU material with faux carbon fiber textures for added good looks, perfect cutouts for the ports, and a raised edge around the screen for drop protection. They finish it off with a nice brushed aluminum look to the back. This is a cheap case that will keep your phone safe. Get it in Black or Blue.Buy it from: Amazon.com | Amazon.in | Amazon.ca | Amazon.co.uk
8. Spigen Liquid Clear Case - Price: $13
Next is something that's the complete opposite of Google's case. Spigen is one of the most trusted case manufacturers on the planet. Consistently making amazing cases for almost every phone that gets released. The Spigen Liquid Crystal clear case is always a fan-favorite. They do offer it in black, but clear is something most love. Especially if you're wanting to keep that "panda" look of the two-tone black and white Pixel 2 XL. Spigen uses a durable, flexible, hard yet soft TPU material. It's essentially a plastic infused with rubber for the best of both worlds. Most cases use TPU, and Spigen typically makes the best ones on the market all at an affordable price.Buy it from: Amazon.com | Amazon.in | Amazon.ca | Amazon.co.uk
9. UAG Plasma Series Case - Price: $40
Under Armour Gear offers cases for both the Pixel 2 and the Pixel 2 XL including the Plasma Series for the Pixel 2 XL.
