Poetic Palette SLIM premium hard case

Poetic may become my favorite accessory maker. They are making sooo many products for our phone. I really like the look of this hard case too. The biggest thing for me is how it covers all the corners where most slim cases only cover the sides.

looks exactly like the Rearth SLIM... plus it uses the name "SLIM"
$5 for a case is quite a steal.

I completely agree, except that it covers all 4 edges. For 5, ill take a gamble on it.

rearth covers all 4 edges.

It leaves the top and botton exposed, no?
This looks like a really nice case though, and seeing how much I'm loving the bumper case, I'll order one of these.

oh... when he defined edge, i thought he meant the corners
this case doesnt necessarily cover the WHOLE edge, it covers more than the rearth one but not all.. cut out for usb is bigger

aww..wouldve jumped on this if its not because it doesnt cover the bezels...
anyways, having a diztronic & soon to arrive poetic-bumper is enough for me.
unless something really cool comes out, Im a happy camper...for now...
hopefully...
what? $5?...man thats cheap..
must....resist...

i have to say i got one of these cases for 5 bucks and its pretty great. now its a 4.50.. no brainer on amazon for that price.

I have one of these and used it prior to my Ringke Fusion case.
It got thrown from the car once in the SLIM case and it did its job well, protected the phone.

supple leather back only

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.

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.

dbrand

Post your dbrand skins here! I got the bulletproof banana color.
In the special instructions I asked dbrand to send nudes
they didn't disappoint

Just ordered the Black Camo for my Black Panther Note 9. Will show it here once I got the skin.

Does a SlickWraps skin count? Lol. I'm not in the cool kids group without a DBrand.

I put the black camo on my phone. Appears that the cutouts are not up to the usual precision that Dbrand was once known for. It's definitely not a precise fit.

Was the cut out slightly out around the fingerprint and lens section?

I'm thinking that could be because of the prototype phones they had to create cases and protectors . As my back film is also out in the same areas.

Yeah, I'm not thrilled. Dbrand was awesome when they first came out, they've gotten so big now that they are kind of melding into any other company. They used to be on here interacting and trying to build their base and it worked. It would be nice if they did some QC on the skins, now that they charge a premium, plus five dollars shipping and a week plus wait for it to arrive. I haven't used one since my Nexus 5, I'll be looking at other companies now, there isn't anything to differentiate them from the other companies, they certainly don't make a superior product anymore.

Too big for their britches now? ?

At least they didn't go on Reddit and start doxxing customers who complained about issues like Slickwraps did. Happened on the Pixel subreddit about a year ago.

That is pretty snazzy. Not a big deal having the black bumper, since the sides of the device are black anyways. And it looks like the buttons are clear, so that color will shine through as well. Nice find!

Is it one piece or does the black bumper come off? I was gonna order that one but I thought it was a 2 piece type of case which I dislike. Thanks

Just one piece. TPU bumper with the clear plastic back as one piece.

Have one of these myself. Amazon had 50%off them the other day.

Ordered the same case got it yesterday and it feels like a solid case I think I'm going to be using the case alot. Hopefully I get the phone this week.

I got the case and like it alot so far

Forgot to post pics with the phone actually in the case. It fits perfectly fine, feels great, and buttons are very clicky. Main downside is the weight and slightly thick bumper. I'm waiting for a cheap TPU case to come in today as my work case. This will be my "going out" case to show off the orange. Second pic is the case laying flat with the flashlight on.
