supple leather back only - Google Pixel XL Accessories

I am looking for a good steer. One that doesn't mind being killed, skinned, tanned and slapped in the most minimal way on the back of my Pixel Xl.
Anyone know such a cow?

But seriously, I am not sure of any leather cases that are not of the wallet type. This one is simply a pouch...

Shame right. I love leather covers with no front. Such a rare happening in phones these days.
Also got that Maxboost clear case and MEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHH. Thick rear and I hate that. I don't want protection, just grip.

I'm surprised Google didn't come up with one to be honest. Even the iPhone had a nice leather case from Apple. It survived many concrete falls when getting out of my car.

Would be nice if these guys made stuff for the Pixel:

@slickwraps has a couple of the leather-like backs. Personally I'm hoping for the ostrich or football pig leather types ie https://www.slickwraps.com/natural-series-wraps-skins-for-nexus-6.html

I wish SENA would make a couple cases for us

Apparently they are not producing the Natural series for the Pixels.

Awe, thats a shame, @slickwraps naturals were fantastic on my Moto Nexus 6..

Yeah I'd love a minimal leather case, a la GS7E. I haven't really seen anybody who makes decent comparable cases.

Need a sturdy case

I'm driving trucks for a living and need something that can take the bumps and drops. I'm in Australia so I need it to be available for me here

Ballistics SG! It was just a tad too much for me when I had it, but the case felt really really nice.

I want to suggest ballistic SG as well. You can grab one from Amazon for less than $20 and yet its very durable and effective. I dropped mine several times and the phone is still in pristine condition. Make sure you also grab a screen protector.
Not sure if you can get it, but I personally swear by Otterbox. Had it on my other phones and provided great protection. I don't think you're one to care about bulk, so I'd suggest the Otterbox. Plus, they have lifetime warranty on their cases; so if your case gets destroyed or the rubber flaps start to rip off, call them up and they'll ship you a brand new one for free.
I personally feel About Turning Leather Protective Sleeve, comprehensive protection outside dust, scratches can be very good to protect your phone is a good choice!! :fingers-crossed:

Throwing in another vote for the Otterbox, you can even find them on eBay for cheaper than retail.

+1 on Ballistic SG, I work outdoors and have dropped my phone many times and no problems, it's a bit bulky but well designed
Sent from my HTC One XL
available on Ebay Australia http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GENUINE-...ccessories&hash=item2ec0b1856c#ht_4595wt_1141
Thanks for the suggestions peeps, I might try the ballistic first then the otterbox if that doesn't work for me

I've been torn between this case or the cute Stitch case lol. I might jump the boat & get this one, though. I forgot I set my Droid X on the hood of my Jeep & drove off. No cosmetic damage or anything. With the S4, I really don't want to risk that, again lol. I see this case comes in pink, too... hm.

Has anybody come across this case in Sprint stores or any other place that is available nationally yet? My GS4 comes tomorrow AM and I'm one of those people that likes to get a case on it ASAP. I see they only have the black available - I was kind of looking for another color so I might wait and just get something else with a belt clip until the other colors are released. I emailed Otterbox to see if they can give a timeframe on release.
My Sprint store had Otterbox cases for every other phone, except the S4. They did have some standard plastic floppy cases. The rep said to wait about a week or two for more cases to arrive. Call up your local Sprint(s) if you haven't already.

Nice. Gotta go for that black and yellow color scheme.

Back cover ( NOT cases )

Are there any metal like ones around? Something a little bit on the gentle side for signal. I would assume such things would be all over the place since so many want to tout / whine about the plastic back. However, I can't really find one that doesn't claim to be aluminum.

i think hes talking about a metal battery cover...
and i doubt that this will become a thing, btw. the reason it's removable is because it's plastic.

I'm a fan of using skins instead of cases. I usually order from SkinIt.com
However, they don't seem to have anything for the S4... YET.

very nice.

			
				

			
				
The band definitely is an upgrade over the black band but there is a slight color difference of the steel. You can only tell when really looking close at it.
It'd been about 10 days with the strap. All I can is that it feels like a real watch because of the weight. People have commented on how it looks good and the strap makes it look like a real watch. Definitely wasn't sure about the black band but happy about this strap purchase. I would recommend it to others who are thinking of switching out their strap.
very nice I know its quite old thread but can these still be bought on ebay? can anyone pm me a ebay link please?
http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=380467797551
I just got my first compliment that it looked like a very expensive watch. One person asked me if it was a Rolex... I laughed.
I've had this strap for 3 months now and all I can say is that it's a great strap. It gives it the look of a powerful and costly watch. I believe the strap is usually placed on Rolex and such. It is easy to clean, comfortable and gives a nice weight to the watch.
I also have a screen protect and let me tell you it saved me twice from a nasty scratch and healed itself. Amazing stuff. Got it at best buy.
broke the screen on mine and cant find a replacement anyone know where one can be bought please??

Pouches, Slipcovers, Slipcases

Please post any links to pouches, slipcases, and slipcovers that are made for the Pixel XL.
I found this one on Amazon for $20. Its handmade out of jean, cotton and fleece. No reviews yet, so I may have to go in blind unless anyone else finds any other options.

I found this one a little while ago - expensive little thing too...

I bought a similar pouch a while back for my nexus 6p from the same seller on etsy. She has all sorts of choices on etsy. On etsy there is an option to ask for a little more room to accommodate a bulkier case. Shipped from overseas very quickly.

Thanks. I ended up ordering one shortly after I posted this thread. I'm pretty happy with it. I really ****ing hate cases and screen protectors and all that stupid **** when I'm actually trying to use the device, so this is a good alternative to going completely naked.
I'm using a Shocksock https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pixel-XL-S...1481124207&sr=8-1&keywords=pixel+xl+shocksock. I specifically wanted one that would fit the XL while keeping the back cover. That way the screen is only exposed when I'm using it, but if I drop it the Spigen case (Rugged Armour) should still protect the phone. It was a tight fit at first but it's loosened off nicely and I'm delighted to have found it.
I've used these for several years. They seem to be a good quality pouch.
