I am considering the OtterBox commuter case for the pixel XL. Can anyone that has it already comment on how they like it?

I am using it. Very comfortable to grip, doesn't add the bulk that the Defender does but doesn't have the screen protector that the Defender has. It's perfect for me cause I don't like screen protectors nor the bulk of the defender. I would recommend it. Glad I choose it!
I tried the OtterBox commuter case. Nice case. The only issue I had with it was when standing the phone up against anything. Did not have much grip. My phone would always slide down.I chose to use another company.

I meant what is the let company you chose?
I have it and love it. The edges make the phone so much easier to grip. Every time I take it off to clean off the phone I use the phone naked for a short while and honestly prefer to use the phone with the OtterBox Commuter on it. I prefer the materials used on the Commuter vs the Defender as the rubberized exterior of the Defender makes it difficult to place in ones pocket. The only case I believe that will unseat this one from my Pixel XL is when my LifeProof Fre arrives. It just got released today.
I bought it the day I got my Pixel XL and returned it a week later. It made the phone monsterously big in my opinion. Coming from a S7 Edge with the commuter, the Pixel commuter was way to bulky for me.
I ended up picking up the Spigen Tough Armor and am happy I did.

Hello fellow one X owners,

Thanks in advance!

Thank you, I will be looking into those cases
I like the Seidio Active line, myself. I've used them on all of my Android phones and they offer great protection without adding much weight or bulk.
I bought the ballistic slim case, it should be arriving tomorrow. Seems decent, I bought other ballistic cases and was overall satisfied with them
That one protects very well. Just doesn't look too pretty haha

Had the Ballistics, Diztronic, Speck Candy shell Grip, Rocketfish TPU, and CIMO TPU....none lasted more than a few days with me. The Incipio is real nice. I almost want to pick up a second color.

Just purchased a incipio silicrylic, looking into the candyshell and feather cases now
Cool man! I don't doubt you will like it. I'm staying tuned to this thread as I have a bit of a case addiction.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
My wife uses the incipio sillicrylic it is a nice case, however I just cant stand the case being loose on the sides of my phone. I am using the speck candyshell and it is built well with no flapping of the inner layers.
The only knock against the candyshell is don't plan on taking it off and on a lot it is a beast to get the case off the phone.
Right now I'm using the Speck Candyshell with a Steinheil ultra crystal (I think) screen protector. I cn honestly say that out off all the cases I've used on all the phones I've owned, it seriously is amazing. Best one I've ever used. I always had an issue with dust, dirt, lint, or whatever else getting into my cases. So I started cleaning them every day. Well with this case, it's not an issue one bit!! It's a hybrid case. So it has a rock hard outer shell, with a nice hard silicone inside. The corners are almost "split" So if you drop it, the silicone will absorb all of the impact. Also, the edges on the front around the screen are all that same hard silicone. Couple it with a good seen protector and your good to go!!
Since its a hybrid case it doesn't add much thickness to the phone at all. It's amazing. Buttons all work perfect too.
It might be on the the expensive side, and a b*tch to get on and off at first... But it is WELL worth it!

I love my ROCK Quicksand case, looks great and adds no bulk, but grip. Won't protect your phone much, but.....be careful with it..

I have bought two Specks(red and black), both paired with Ghost Armor screen protectors...best part is how cases fitted for the 1X, w/o adding much bulk at all! Also my main concern was to protect lens - and it's just perfect...few mm over the camera

So the silicrylic case arrived today I do like it however the loose silicone does bother me a little bit.
Also the ballistic slim case is not what I anticipated it to be. I'll probably be selling that and picking up the candyshell or feather case.
Thank you all for the feedback up to this point I do appreciate it greatly.

When playing with the silicone, yeah it is (compared to the Ballistics case for instance) but in real use it's treated me well. Did you get the incipio in a color other than black? If so, I may be interested in purchasing from you if you don't want it.

I got it in the grey/volt or neon whatever you want to call it. I will keep you in mind if I decide to part with it. I found it on ebay for 14.99 I believe
As for now I am going to price the other cases and go from there.

I had the Spigen for my S4 and absolutely loved it. But, for my S5 I went for this one. I like it a lot and it is quite rugged. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IEFUC4C/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have both the Otterbox Commuter and Spigen Tough Armor Case. I use the Otterbox if I'm going to be outdoors at the beach or in the sand dunes 4 wheeling. It's bulky but does a better job at protecting the phone from the elements. However, the Otterbox case is NOT waterproof so keep that in mind. I use the Spigen case when I'm going to be in the office or indoors most of the time. They are slimmer and fits better in my pocket.
Seeing as our phones are waterproof and dustproof (for the most part anyway), the case not having that distinction isn't very important.
That being said, I have that exact Spigen case, and the only complaint I have so far is there's no beltclip for it. If that's important, get a case with a holster, otherwise, the Spigen works just fine. The Otterbox adds too much bulk for me..

Whatever anybody does, do not get the OtterBox preserver case. HORRIBLE! The two pieces that "snap" together come apart VERY easily. Pathetic.
I have the Galaxy Note 4, I love outdoor activities and I bring the Galaxy Note 4 with me always, I have the Rugged Case for Galaxy Note 4, i-Blason Armorbox Dual Layer Hybrid Full-body Protective Case to protect my phone from bumps and other accidental drop when I do some activities, and it serves me well, I wonder if what are other alternatives for it, I would love to have one but reluctant to buy other brands, any recommendation based on your personal experience?
Here is the one that I bought
, i-Blason Armorbox Dual Layer Hybrid Full-body Protective Case
Can anyone suggest me another one?

I dunno where you got that info from. I've had the defender on mine since day one and no problems with it at all.
I don't know how you guys can put such an ugly bulky case on something so beautiful. Trust me, I'm all about protection, I've never cracked a phone before (*knock on wood*) but I feel like putting something like this iBlason case or the traditional OtterBox just covers up the true beauty of the phone. I usually go with a Spigen case (good protection, yet not as bulky). This time around I'm going for the Ringke Slim case with a wrist strap.

I understand where you're coming from and I too find the Ringke slim case exceptional in terms of looks and minor protection. But after using it for a whole month, I finally caved in and ordered an Otterbox Defender. I just don't want to be afraid of damaging my phone. Being able to use it with an extra peace of mind is worth sacrificing the appearance in my opinion. After all, you can always take it out of the case and it'll still be the beautiful, slim phone you purchased. But each to their own, I can only speak for myself.

Is Tech Armor for rugged case a good buy?
I have the UAG and the Otterbox Defender for mine. I used a UAG on my Note 2 for 2 years and was completely satisfied and feel that it is a solid case. However, I like the amount of protection the Otterbox Defender gives and I also like the way it adds some bulk to the phone. It seems easier to hold.
That being said, it does not fit well in my pocket and I've actually started using a belt clip (included with the case) for the first time. The belt clip also doubles as a stand for your phone when you are charging it.
Does anyone have input on the UAG cases? The Amazon ones are mixed and I don't want to burn $30.
i have the ash uag case for mine and my wife's pixel xl since the beginning of December.
was looking forward to this case. when i first got it i liked it alot, but then other people got theirs and made me start to look at mine again. the one issue is that the lip at the top and bottom seem to show a little bit too much metal. it's almost like as though they rushed the case. i thought the case from uag would have been similar to the uag case they did for the galaxy note 4, in how it wrapped the phone and you knew it was protected.
since getting my uag case i have ordered the presidio grip, didn't like it, not that much screen protection and that case felt lose on the phone.
ordered the seidio dilex, bigger case tab the uag in feel making the phone feel bulkier but the headphone jack cutout is too small, unless your headphones have a skinny plug. will be sending that one back.
received the vrs design high pro shield. same thing not that much lip on the screen and button feel was not that great.
was going to order the LifeProof fre but read people having flash issues at night with the case on. still thinking about giving the caseology case a try.
so after going through those cases determined the uag case will work and get the job done with a screen protector. just ordered the full screen glass protector from spigen through Amazon, presently using the yootech screen protector.
thought about going back to the diztronic but just a little too plain. and the uag has taken a few slips out the pocket already and has survived so will stick with this one for the time being.

I have been using UAG cases for years. As soon as the version for the XL came out I had it. I used it for 2 days and hated it. It did not fit quite right and was very heavy compared to the Spigen Rugged Armor. I threw my UAG in a drawer and have no plans to use it again.

Seeing if anyone seen or know of any holsters that work, or cases that come with holsters(like seidio, Otterbox defender, etc)?
I'm using the Seidio holster for the Note 7 and it fits the device with a thin hard case or tpu case. If the case is rigid border with tpu, it won't fit since it makes it too wide.
