Spigen Rugged Armor Designed for Google Pixel 2 XL Case (2017) - Black

OK maybe not exactly NUCLEAR - but you're probably not going to care anyway at that point. It is a very sturdy case. Because both the screen and the back side can be fully covered, it's sizeable. The back side is a tight but secure fit. All the holes match up exactly. The screen cover fits over that with a satisfying snap. The belt clip also adds to its bulk. But you didn't buy the phone this covers to fit in some tiny, cute pocket, did you?It's exactly what I wanted: sturdy, nearly indestructible under normal circumstances and use, and the front piece protects the screen. I wiped out a screen on a favorite phone of mine moving furniture one day. I didn't want a repeat.It's very well designed, and as you snap on the screen cover, it does a perfect job of going over it without hitting the side buttons. It seems like it should but it doesn't. It's not hard to get it off when the phone rings, but it's a touch more tricky, especially when you're trying to answer the phone quickly.My wife has exactly the same thing. But she just snaps the front cover to the back cover which also works fine.The very minor con I have is that there's a flap that covers the connection port, which can be a little tricky to hold open while inserting the cable. If it really bothers someone, they can razor or cut it off. But I haven't and don't plan to: it's a minor inconvenience to the fact it's protecting that port from contamination.In short, I'm glad I got this and not something else. Actually - I DID get something else initially, but when I saw this, I had to have it. No regrets.

Arrived on time and in an orderly manner.Despite the rainy weather, the package was in very good condition.After opening the product, the case was had a very flimsy yet sturdy feel to it. The surface and inside of the case was smooth and shiny, so there weren't any marks, scratches, or scuffs that seemed noticeable.Putting on the case to the phone, it was a perfect fit.The lip of the case is extended by a couple of millimeters to prevent any screen drops while keeping a nice minimal look and feel to it.The charging port, the top microphone, and camera cutouts are perfect. The power and the volume buttons on the side of the case are very clicky and tactile.Overall, amazing case. Very sleek and professional. Love the carbon fiber look to the top and bottom portion of the backside of the case.However, one small thing is bothering me.The cutout for the fingerprint sensor of the phone is off.It's not a perfect circle so some areas around the sensor show more than others.Although. I can't say the same thing about other cases that other people have received.Looking past that, however, you shouldn't be focusing on the back of your phone all the time so it shouldn't be a problem.Good looking and impressive case.

Spigen definitely makes some of the better phone cases in the market. I have bought cases from Spigen in the past for various phones and they seem to never disappoint. The phone case I just bought for my pixel 2 XL is great. Very nice texture and also the matte like material prevents fingerprints. The overall look is sleek and I believe the case helps hold the phones aesthetics in place. I just got this phone and used it for a couple of hours right now. I love the indent the case leaves in the front so when you lay it down on the ground glass down that the front of the phone isn't really touching the surface. There is also that indent where the camera is. Finger print reader is still easily accessible without looking and isn't a problem at all with the case. The buttons responds well and does not need to be pressed hard.Value wise --- this case is worth the price. I believe that you get what you pay for and if you want a good protection for your phone you should be willing to be a little more for a better product. I used to switch phones all the time but I am planning on my keeping my pixel 2 for a long time because it's such a great phone so I am willing to pay a little more to keep phone in great shape even after couple years of using it. Hope this review helps even if it was long..thanks for the read!

This case fit my Pixel 2 XL perfect. Very easy to take on and off and that is something I wanted for when I need to clean the phone. I have a different case from another big name brand and it is difficult to remove the phone from and I feel like I have to use too much pressure to get it out of the shell. This one is easy on easy off and it offers decent protection in my opinion. I would only like to see a bit more depth where it protrudes form the screen to protect it from drops. It does extend past the screen so that the screen will not contact but it is only just above it so you have maybe a 1/16 inch clearance. I use a screen protector and there is room around the sides of the case for clearance of a protector. No issues with the finger print scanner either. Pretty solid case in all.

This is the second Spigen phone case I've owned. Both have been high-quality products that were thoughtfully designed for a precise fit for my phones. This Pixel 2 XL case is sturdy without adding a lot of bulk or heft to my phone. The case's lip around the screen is slightly raised, enough to keep the screen from being in contact with a surface when face-down - and same for the backside camera and fingerprint sensor. The case's slightly rubberized feel actually makes my Pixel easier to hold and grip, while being sleek enough that it won't stick to other items in my pocket. Lastly, and most importantly, I feel confident that this Spigen case will provide adequate protection for my Pixel if I were to drop it. Spigen also offers a variety of thinner and thicker cases, so find the one that is right for your protection needs.
