The Rhino Bumper arrived today. Very excited to get it. It fits great, REALLY makes the phone look excellent. EXCEPT THE CHARHER DOES NOT FIT. My Verizon USB C fast CHARGER, my MOTO Z FORCE DROID fast CHARGER are BOTH TOO BIG.....honestly I have not tried my pixel CHARGER because it's at work...I'll know tomorow, but I'm almost certain it was bigger than the Motorola. UNEBELIEVABLE. And how do you even get that opening close? Why make it close? I'm so disappointed.

I'm big enough to admit I made a mistake and look like a jack ass...lol. It CAN go in but you gotta really CRANK THE HELL OUT OF IT....I may have slightly jumped the gun. Still 1 or 2 more mm and this wouldn't be a problem

I'd love to see a few pictures.
I have 6 or more USB-C cables including the one that came with my XPS laptop and Pixel C , all the ends are about the same size.
It is insane that they did not consider the size of the USB-C ends. That is pretty basic for a case. Send it back and pick up a Spigen Rugged Armor case. Light but protective and cheap. It's a great case. I already accidentallydropped my phone from 4' onto a tile floor. No damage.

You can't really see the siW of the opening and the plug, but it's so Tight... Now I actually feel a click when I apply a LOT of pressure.
The bumper is the BEST bumper I've had since that all glass Nexus, I think the Nexus 4 it was. This I really really well made and nice.
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
Just get an exacto knife and enlarge the opening. Should not be difficult. Just don't do it while it is on the phone
The area that needs to be bigger is too thin man...it has seemingly stretched a bit now and is going in easier...
This Bumper is AWESOME.
IM REALLY HOPING I can get this Bumper on OVER the Dbrand I have coming for the back.
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
Bumper looks too damn big and complaints of the buttons feeling like garbage. If it were a somewhat thin bumper, like that of the Nexus 4 (I had one with the official bumper too), it'd be great.
Yeah, no. It's as compact a bumper I've ever seen. It's absolutely the best bumper I've ever ever had. Buttons are better on this than on Incipios. It's a great case, this opening has moved enough so it's working fine. The thin part is very hard durable . It's quality made
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
Pretty sure the bumper is thicker so it can protect it as well as it states. If you are looking for a thin one definitely don't recommend it. It's definitely a little bigger than I thought but if it saves my Pixel I'm fine.
It fits fine for me. Using both the included cables and the one from the nexus 6p. No stretching or anything like that.
How's the lip that protects the screen when placed facedown on the table? Been hearing reports that it's too thin.

It is too big. Looks awkward on the phone. The back looks weird IMO with the tapered edges.
I returned mine this morning. Bummer because I was really looking forward to it.

If you have a thick tgsp then it will be close on clearance. I'm loving the crash guard for the pixel xl. I loved the 6p version but the camera hump made for a weird design.
I have a dbrand skin on the way too. I'm going to replicate what I had on my 6p.
Yeah you have to force the plugs in the first couple of times but it gets better.
I love this bumper! I'm waiting for my slickwraps naked skin to show up before I use it daily though. TPU case until then.

Google's own Dan Morill has confirmed that "Bumper Cases" will be offered for the Nexus 4. This is the first official accessory that we've heard of after the TouchStone charger.
Dan Morrill 1 hour ago
+Dave Ranucci We've actually got some bumpers (ring-like cases that wrap the side but not the back) coming as accessories for Nexus 4, if that's how you roll.
On the back, there is indeed a small raised ridge, which should prevent scratches if not breaks.

As long as they don't add to much bulk around the edges I'll get one. Unless the design on the back is more ostentatious in person, in which case I'll get a case that covers it.
Possible bumper case?

I definitively want to get a bumper because I love OEM accessories and this phone looks too good to put in a case.
I've never owned bumpers. Do they really protect devices well? As far as I can tell, they leave the front and the back of devices vulnerable to scratches and breaks. But if I'm wrong, please correct me.

They protect the sides and corners and will absorb shock (although not too well) It is a minimalist case, if you are worried about scratches you could invest in front and back screen protectors or have faith in Corning's Gorilla Glass 2.
I think the combination of a screen protector and a bumper will be enough for all but the most paranoid, Gorilla Glass is able to stand up to a lot of punishment.
Bumpers are awesome!
It doesn't add much bulk and protects the device well.
Hey guys. I just want to share this case I got for my GS4. The case feels good in hand and it doesn't add that much dimension to the phone. All in all this case is effective for the external impact protection and surely your S4 would look so sexy once you dress it up with this case. For $29, I wouldn't really keep this case, but I got the case with 50% off last week at amazon. Thanks!

Isn't this the case that I read somewhere was giving chipping problems on the bezel of the s4?
Is the back of the case plastic-y or it's rubber? It'd be terrible to pull out of a pocket if it's rubber.

No that was the spigen super thin TPU one which I guess is really sharp on the insides. and fits really loose and is all around a piece of crap
It looks nice, but the sharpening of the corners. Makes it look a little too much like an iPhone for my taste. That said, how's the quality and fitment? Do you feel it adequately protects the phone? I just ordered an Incipio DualPro shine. Hoping it doesn't get here before the phone does

I have no idea about the bezel chipping they are talking about. As far as I can see, there's no contact between the plastic frame and the phone, only the TPU. It probably happened due to mistake installation or he could be changing cases very often.

Hey guys, I just received the new case today. I picked it up off Amazon for $14.99. The case looks good and is very well built. The case looks and feels premium.
I went with the Metal blue color for the outer ring. As a bonus, Spigen threw in 3 screen protectors for free! The screen protectors alone retail for $9.99 so its a nice freebie.
Now, I just need the S5 to get here.

The ring around the phone is some sort of super hard plastic. Its quite rigid. The Metal slate color I received is very dark, and as close to black as I'll get.

I got the Spigen Tough Armor for s5 (which I love, super protective and the gunmetal one is gorgeous). It looks like these two cases have the same battery door cutoit, so I can say that it is tricky to get the battery door open for sure. If you don't have nails expect to have a little difficulty until you get the hang of it. That's the only qualm I have about it though.

I still think they are way over priced. You can get a much better case for the money.
I just received mine in Dante red. By far the best and most quality case I've seen so far. So happy

it is a little more difficult but the quality of the case outweighs that
I got mine too. Unboxing and first look video on my youtube channel
Seems far bulkier than the one for the iPhone 5 which is a bit of a shame.
Still a nice case tho
I bought this case also.. not so much impressed with it. It feels nice but a few things I don't like:
- It extends the phone out to the sides, typing and using the screen is more cumbersome as you hit the edge of that case that are higher then the screen. In other words the screen is not flush with the case. They did this to protect the screen if you lay the phone down.
- Getting the charge port to open is a pain in the neck -- very hard
- Makes the phone much wider then it is.
I also got the S-View case from Samsung and it's OK but flap won't stay closed all the way which sucks.

I had 1 case ****canned it. Don't use cases now, the manufactures go through so much design to make these phones fit and be slim it is almost a shame to put a case on it. I have dropped mine at least 8 times a few little dings, I wash it daily with soap and water and have yet to have an issue..

Soap is not good on the phone my friend.
Body Glove case. Really nice grip, anti microbial, and feels very high quality. Snugs the phone tight. Also have the ZAGG glass protector and it works fine with it.
Spigen Tough Armor Case - Gunmetal
This case provide good protection and is very compact. I dropped my phone once and it seemed to provide very good protection.
The buttons are easy to press and I actually like the buttons are flat along the edge of the case, so the chance to mistakenly press the buttons is less!
The cutouts are very good. There are 4 tiny bumps at the back corners that prevent the back from scratches and lift the speaker a little bit above the surface you placed on, so less damping to the speaker.
This case feels high quality made, easy to hold in the hand, and looks good.
Agreed

I actually bought this case before I even bought the phone! It just gives the phone a rugged look and feel. With the phone by itself I didn't necessarily care for the look of it and knew I wanted a case for the S5. Couldn't be happier with this purchase. I even like the ridge edges it has and makes it easier to grip.
My newest spigen case in my collection.
Picked this up from a Cellaris kiosk in the mall.. Had one on my note 2 for the last year and it did an excellent job protecting my phone, so I went back and got one for my S5, I love the kick stand, but the one on my note 2 case seemed more durable than the one on my S5 cases.
They will usually mix and match colors to suit you, and I went with this combo, for the heck of it heh.
heres a link to their webpage, they have other colors at the kiosk, but you get an idea. most of the cases are cruddy, but the kiosks have otterboxes, kraken, and some other decent named cases.. this case set me back about $30.. worth it in my opinion.

I'm using the incipio teal/cyanish with grey. its kind of funny how small the phone is when I have to take it out (like 2 times now) but this thing is durable. I've dropped it and kicked it a few times and it holds up. love how it keeps my camera nice and tucked in. looks pretty cool too but it's built for abuse it seems.
These are my cases up to this moment. unfortunately, i can't use most of them since i'm using the OEM qi.

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 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.
