Incipio NGP and Ghost Armor review [sort of]

I looked everywhere locally, Nashville TN, and couldn't fine this case. Also no reviews on YouTube. Ordered it on incipio's web site. Fits the phone very well. Not as wide as the D3O sold at T-mo stores. I have this and an otterbox commuter. I much prefer the incipio case. I wanted protection all the way around not just the sides. Plus the new incipio feather is just damned ugly if you ask me.
Also have ghost armor on the screen. Lifetime warranty and such. Got it installed at a kiosk in a local mall. The otterbox jacked it up a little so I took it back to the kiosk and they fixed it no questions asked.
I recommend the case and the screen protector highly.

I haven't seen this case till now. Thanks for the review.
My question is how is this case different from the Diztronic case?

Other than price, ~$10 for Diztronic and $19 for incipio, the only two differences I can tell are the incipio is completely matte black and the lock button isn't a cut out. As the Diztronic has a gloss black front and a cut out for the lock button.

It's def something to get used to. It's easier to find because its slightly taller but you have to push it.

I wish we had a ghost armor kiosk in Ohio somewhere. I've done many wet applications before, there's just something about this phone I can't get s good install.

Style and Pure is the same phone. Pure is for the US. Style is international version.
Hence, the name of this forum...."Moto X Style (Pure)"

If they don't know that the Style and Pure is the same exact phone just for different markets, I would avoid them or you're that gullible.

I bought this moto x style privacy screen from sojitek thinking it would fit my moto x pure. it doesn't really. The front facing flash protrudes just barely, but just enough for the cover to not have contact with the screen.Nothing can get rid of that air bubble since its part of the phone lol. I trimmed the top right corner screen cover with a pair of regular scissors for now so its flush and doesn't peel off entirely. Did I mention the adhesive barely holds? Its like a little better than post-it note adhesive. If you're going no case, I highly discourage this item, it'll peel off as you put it in and out of your pocket. And if you've got a case or plan on getting one, the "edge of the screen" part of the case might push this screen protector up off your actual screen, depending how deep the case screen edge goes, mine does a little as I turn on and off or change volume, using "SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Series Premium Hybrid Protective Bumper Case". The privacy screen it too tinted in my opinion, in the daylight, with the phone on max brightness, I still find it difficult to see the screen. Im going to order a non-privacy regular/normal tempered glass screen cover made for the x pure specifically.

I ordered this one and assume things are good with it unless I post a response here. They say it'll be here Tuesday.... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013HCLP9C

I haven't heard of any tempered glass protectors that fit well. I did buy 3 regular screen protectors 2 from Skinomi, (a clear, and a matte), and a clear one from IQ Shield (clear). Skinomi sent me an email that the first one (matte) they sent out didn't fit as well as it should and they fixed it and sent me a replacement at no charge. The first one I tried was the IQ Shield and it fits well enough that I haven't had any problems it, so I haven't tried any of the Skinomi ones.
I haven't seen any privacy films by popular companies yet. Waiting for some to pop up. If it's cheap enough I'll even try an off brand one.

Anyone ever used this brand case? Reminds me of the Ringke Fusion that I had for my Nexus 5.
You can check it out here.
https://www.amazon.com/iBeek-Absorption-Technology-Crystal-Anti-Scratches/dp/B01LZBXLQJ

Looks nice. Looks like the ringke fusion hybrid or the supcase bottle hybrid cases. Found them as one of the perfect compromises between not hiding the beauty and still giving enough protection for the phone and yet not that bulky. Never heard of ibeek though or maybe I haven't tried them. Hope they don't scratch inside as easily.

I have the ringke fusion for my Note 4 which looks really similar. I REALLY do not like those little "L" shapes on the back of the corners. i know they are there to keep the clear plastic off of surfaces but they are right where i want my fingers to be when i'm holding the phone one handed. Just a little annoyance of mine.

I ordered it in black from Amazon. I think the black edge against the silver Pixel will look clean. Aparrently it's shipping from China direct as it was in stock and has shipped but has an odd tracking number and says it won't be delivered until some time in November which is fine.

I've been trying to contact supcase on Twitter and checking their website everyday about info on if they're making Pixel cases but nothing and it's beyond frustrating because I love their cases and want to order one.

Does this come with a screen protector? The pictures don't show one, but it briefly mentions one in the description.

I ordered on of those case on Monday the 17th and it shipped by tuesday, but has an estimated arrival date of the 29th of Nov ???*???*

Hello, I was curious to know if you are planning any cases such as the Unicorn Beetle Slim Hybrid for the upcoming Pixel XL phones. I have one for my nexus 6p and would love to get one for the Pixel XL.

Dear Customer,
Unfortunately we do not have a case for that device and at this time there are no plans to make a case for that model device. We do apologize for the inconvenience.
Thank you and have a great day.

supcase now has a listing on their site for Google Phone. There's no products listed in it yet, but they have created a slot. That would tell me that they're planning on making something.

the IBeek case is a generic case that companies are branding as their own. It appears to be the nearly identical in style to the Ringke Fusion. I had the Fusion on my Nexus 4 and loved it. Once this case (iBeek or any other brand that offers it) is made available for Prime shipping, or a t least in stock, I will totally pick it up. For now, I've ordered the Spigen Slim armor to hold me over until that case is available. I just love the black bumper with clear polycarbonate back!

SlickWraps Natural PLUS Rhino

I now have the SlickWraps geniune Horween leather back and Rhino Bumper on my Pixel Xl. First let me say I'll never order a Dbrand again. Took almost 15 days to get, and SlickWraps from top to bottom is just so much better. Anyway the Naturals ONLY cover the back, which is great because the Bumper is tight, and the two work together perfectly. Looks really good.

Mind posting some pics? I've been thinking about similar combinations.

Hmm... When I get home I'll use my wife's phone to do so

Not the OP but came across this on Reddit.

I have the Rhino + Slickwraps natural walnut. I was thinking about ditching the Rhino as it felt the back too exposed. With the Walnut Natural wrap I'm loving it

Great combo. The skin could be a 1/2mm longer at the bottom.

Any chance of a picture? I have the walnut and thinking about the bumper.

Did you use a hair dryer when applying the natural series leather? Is this necessary?

Seidio Dilex case ...

Has anyone tried the Seidio Dilex case yet? They have been my favorite for years. Thinking of ordering the blue one.
https://www.seidioonline.com/product/google-pixel-xl-dilex-case/

No I have not tried one.

Ok, Got my blue one in Saturday.
Typical Seidio high quality. But, very thick and heavy compared to other cases I've tried. It does feel like the safest case I've tried yet.
Kickstand is thin, but holds phone up very well and has magnetic closure.
The blue parts have a satiny/rubbery texture feel. (Slick yet grippy at same time)
Case goes on/off easily.
Front has a much better seal around the edge than many others. Especially compared to the UAG.
Fingerprint sensor is deep. A sloped edge would have been nice.
Buttons feel nice.
USB port is generous size. Much more so than the tiny one in the Rhinoshield.
This case feels safer than any other I've tried. Will probably swap between it and my Rhinoshield depending on plans.

I had the same one on my Nexus and 6P and the case would separate on its own sometimes on both of them. The one on my Pixel XL goes on easily, but I really have to fiddle and struggle with it to get it off. I suppose that's better overall.

I don't really care for my UAG case either. Of all my Pixel XL cases I've purchased, the RhinoShield bumper is my favorite closely followed by the Seidio Dilex. The only reason the RhinoShield wins is due to how small it is.
This is the most solidly build Seidio case I've owned and loved them all. This one just adds the most bulk.

I have owned the Seidio Surface for 2 previous devices. Loved the feel, but hated the two piece snap together design.
