Can anyone recommend a super slim case for the 4XL? Something similar to the Bare Naked case, but either much cheaper or higher quality? the Bare case I had on my 3XL was super cheap quality with rough edges and let a lot of dirt etc in between it and the phone. Have currently got a Caseology case on my 4XL but its pretty bulky.

You have that Caseology Skyfall case too? It's nice to show off the color but it is bulky and heavy. I got this one yesterday. It's cheap, a little less bulky, and lighter.

MNML has a case but they're on the pricey side and the two I had for the Pixel 2 XL to warp to where it wasn't as snug anymore.

It's a Caseology Solid Flex Crystal that I have, its not massive but I find it bulky. I think the MNML one sounds very similar to the issues I had with the Bare case, recently you could almost rattle the phone around within the case. Was hoping someone made a decent quality really thin case, I'm not too fussed about drop protection, just need a way to avoid scratches and wear and tear
Spigen thin fit had one on my note10+
I loved the pitaka case on the pixel 2 xl and although they didn't come out with one for the 3 xl, it still worked every though it didn't line up perfectly. Unfortunately i can't use it anymore on the 4. They have no plans to make one either. That's been the best and thinnest feeling case I've used while still being really solid. Such a shame.
I have the mmnl on order so we'll see how that goes. I also have a skin on order as well so i might just go naked with just a skin to protect the back from scratches. With the matte sides, its not slippery at all so i might go that route.

Have used this one. like it for the slimness. it holds on to any type of oils from your hand though. Easily wiped off if need be. (this is for the black one though)

I hear ya on the Pitaka. I love it on my Pixel 2 and was really bummed to see they didn't do one for the 3's and probably won't for the 4's. I wonder if it being a magnetic case interfered with wireless charging? That obviously was not a concern with the 2 and 2XL.
I've got an esr appro on the way, it looks similar to the mofi cases I've gotten from Ali for my 2 and 3 which are super slim. they're nice, but only really offer scratch protection. the mofis had no lip for the front, jsyk

wireless charging shouldnt be the reason though since new iphone and samsung has it too which they still make cases for. I asked and they gave the same answer, due to low demands they have no plans to make one for pixel 4.. The magnet on the pitaka case doesnt cover alot of the case so still works on most wireless chargers. It works inconsistently on the PIxel stand though..
Anyhow, just got the dbrand skin in. Pretty nice ... will see how it is as a daily. got a few cases coming in that i'll give a try.

Just don't take it off a lot and you'll be fine.
Here's the MNML vs the ESR Essential Zero (quite a bit thicker than the MNML). https://photos.app.goo.gl/vUBq1HMjPPwAaH6S7

Have you tried the Spigen Liquid Crystal? It's been my go to case for my past 3 phones (Pixel XL, Pixel 2 XL, and now Pixel 4 XL).

Aw, they must have just pulled it at midnight. P4reddit and MNML20 are others.
Thanks for the pics.
I'm very interested in the MNML and your pics make me more interested.
I ordered the esr essential zero, esr mimic and spigen liquid crystal for my 4xl and ended up keeping the mimic as it felt and looked the best.
I will say the esr essential zero definitely was nicer than the spigen liquid crystal, or should I say slimmer.
The MNML looks to be even slimmer and that's enticing.
Food for thought.
Thanks again.

I have the Spigen Thin Fit for my 4XL, and it's mostly OK, but it sticks up a bit too much for it to be comfortable to use with gestures. Especially since it has really sharp edges. I ended up not using it for that reason. It would have been perfect if the edges didn't stick up so much past the screen on the sides. The grip is really good on my black one, but someone commented that the white one was slippery.
I was messing around and was able to order the totallee thin case for $15. It's regularly $29.
I was wondering if anyone is familiar with it and what the opinion was on it.
It's got a 30 day money back guarantee, so I can return it. I'm intrigued with how thin it's supposed to be.

I love the design of this phone so I want the slimmest possible case I can find. Can anyone recommend a very slim case?

You could get the official ones by HTC. They take minimalism to a whole new level bit the downside is its so expensive for a flimy piece of plastic. Or the feather cases by Incipio.

i ordered the black & gray ROCK cases and the case mate barely there case. the ROCK cases look nice but are definitely made for the International X. although they fit the One XL, the camera opening is about1-2 mm lower at the top. not a big issue for me at all. however, the case-mate fits perfectly and looks best! i like how the sides are angled for a perfect fit, e.g., fits the One XL's angled sides like a glove. the obvious downside is the limited protection, e.g., exposed top and bottom.
i sold both ROCK cases to a friend who has the International X and kept the case-mate. i added a couple of pics that (hopefully) show how slim and form-fitting the case-mate case is...
im going with the amzer tpu luxe arigle case had it with captivate and like it and did its job and looks good

I liked the case for the whole 5 seconds it lasted me
Funny part is that I was planning on spray painting it black cos that case only comes in orange/blue. And while i was taking the case off it snapped on me. Good thing is AT&T warranties out accessories for a whole year. I have a feeling im going to be using that warranty a lot.
You get what you ask for looking for a slim case. They don't offer any protection at all. Which for me is fine. I just don't like how hot the phone gets without a case. I ended up getting the full body zagg.

i broke my orange version of this case too. if you like to swap out cases every other day (like me) this case may not be for you because you will eventually break it, no doubt about it. i've been luckier with my blue case as it hasn't snapped on me yet.
Just ordered an Amzer Shellster case found here:
http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-AMZ9380...PA1Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1338902558&sr=8-1
It's not the most "minimalist" case out there but it seems sturdy enough for repeated application and removal (which is important to me since I use multiple cases). It also comes with a holster, which most slim cases do not. It also looks like it offers great protection for the camera.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMdD2Q35_XA
I'll put up some pics and do a "mini-review" if anyone is interested.
So the case-mate barely there doesn't specify on amazon whether its for the international or att version. However I have heard that it fits ours just fine. Can anyone verify?
And also does it come with a screen protector?
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Received my Amzer Shellster yesterday. I can confirm that it fits the AT&T version of the HOX.
Pros
Accurate Fit
Cutouts line up perfectly
Protects camera
Front lip keeps screen from touching when face down
Comes with a holster
Cons
Minamilistic case means it provides less protection than traditional cases
Does not cover top and bottom
Soft touch finish can be a little slippery
While the holster uses "pressure" to hold the phone it does not have an actual mechanism to secure it
Overall, the case is really nice for what it's meant to do. It is advertised as a slim case and it provides all the protection that it entails.
I have included some pics in the attachments showing the cutouts and fit, as well as the holster and front lip.
I got the case mate barely there. Overall I really like it, I wish it was a little thicker because the camera still sticks out a little.

"Will the Ultra Thin Air fit the AT&T version of the HTC One X?
We don't recommend the Ultra Thin Air with the AT&T version as this case was originally designed for the international version. The AT&T version of the phone is slightly longer. While the case my be compatible, it may not be a perfect fit."

How are there cases by the way? They look kinda bulky.
They're a little thicker than your average 2 piece case. The thing is they are so well designed it honestly feels pretty close to as premium as a phone.
just received my case today. TL;DR I like it!
The back is textured so it makes it better handling the XL. I had a spigen rugged armor on prior and while I liked the look of that case, the back was a lil slippery. This case has almost a matte finish/feel to it which is a better IMHO. Case would be 10/10 if it had port covers for the usb c and headphone jack but thats just me

Can you post a picture from different angles? Especially the back, front and straight from the side so we can see how thick it makes the phone. I would like to buy this case
Are these cases durable? I've always been interested in them, but feared they focused on looks & feel over actual protection.

I have one as well! Very sick case!! Does not fit with my skinomi clear shield so if anybody wants to purchase at a better deal then their site PM ME!!!
Is the case slippery at all? How about thickness, does it add some bulk for one handed use (I have an XL).
Case does look great.
If you don't mind me asking, what screen protector are you using?

In hand feel is amazing. It's a very minimal style case. The soft touch sides make it easy to hang on to. It dosent feel like any more size than most TPU cases.

The case does add some bulk to it so don't be fooled by pictures or anything. I do like the feel and look of the case but I am not a fan of the thickness and if I knew it was that thick I would have not gotten it. I immediately put it on, used it for about an hour and took it off because of thickness. Doesn't feel that slippery in the hands because of the grip on the sides. It's a very nice case I'm just not that big a fan of it.
Case looks ridiculously THICK for copying the "thin fit" design of many other cases... not a fan.
If only it wrapped around the top and bottom...
With the case on the phone it measures...
10.7 mm top thickness
9.1 mm bottom thickness
78 mm width
Dosent seem that bluky by the numbers in relation to no case. However to each their own.
Cheers, J.
I always wanted to try their cases!!! So glad they have one for the Pixel/XL. Ordered mine now!
I love this case!! Looks and feels great.

I love the look of this phone, and have always used a case, so I'm interested in your thoughts on clear cases.
I've seen my dad use them and it seems like they can get quite dirty between the phone and the case. I don't know if I'll like the feel of the hard plastic case that you get.
I did also get the cheaper insurance through Verizon that only covers replacement and only $20 glass repair, so I may just go caseless.
Spigen Ultra Hybrid in clear.
I ordered the SunRemex from Amazon with built in screen protector. I don't know if it makes a difference, but only 1 cut out for the front speaker. Not even the camera. . Wonder if it will mess with motion sense.
I would highly recommend the Caseology clear case. It's $10 with the Amazon coupon and I've used this on many past phones but currently have it on my Not Pink 3XL. I'm receiving it today along with my 4XL to make sure and show off the coloring. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07X7JWC3V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This one has a built in screen protector that sucks... I snatched it out the case and used a TGSP, now I absolutely love it!

The Skyfall is on the bulky side but it does get easier to take off after a few tries. I take it off from the bottom first then peel off the rest easily.

I can tell you that the ESR Mimic is a great case.
I had ordered the ESR Mimic, the essential zero and the Spigen Liquid Crystal and ultimately kept the Mimic and returned the others.
The Mimic is slim, has the tpu bumper for grippiness and the glass back looks and feels great.
I got it with the above codes and before they raised the price a little so I paid approx. $14, which is a steal.
I know it'll yellow eventually with the tpu bumper, but I'll enjoy it until then. I've already got the google fabric case, which is bulkier but feels and looks great too. And, whenever rhinoshield gets their act together, I'm all over their bumper case.
Have been wanting to see this on a device. Using a fabric case myself, but this will likely be the next.

I have the spigen ultra hybrid and the ESR essentially zero case. Both are great depending upon how much protection you feel comfortable with. While the ESR feels great and fits great, I feel better with the additional thickness of the spigen. But they are both great as far as clear cases go.

Yep. I'm still very much enjoying my esr mimic. Really nice case and as I said above, I also used the discount code.
I just yesterday ordered the Totallee thin case (also with nice discount) in my pursuit for a super slim case. Should have it Monday and I'm thinking I'll like it after reading some reviews. And I'm still waiting for the rhinoshield bumper case.

How's this case working out for you? I've been through a couple of clear cases so far but not completely satisfied yet and came across the TORRAS as well so I'm curious how it actually is.
I have the Spigen liquid crystal on right now, but the excessive branding along the edges is pushing me towards another case and I believe one of the ESR clear cases is the same way. Does the TORRAS have a lot of branding and text along the edges? I don't understand why they put all that on clear cases to begin with.

I'm liking it so far. I remove it every night to charge it wirelessly and it's not a problem. It doesn't add too much bulk and you can still see the design of the phone. There is absolutely no branding on the sides. The edges around the front aren't huge and don't bother me one bit. You can still easily call up the assistant with gestures.
Uploaded a few pics
I am coming from a Pixel 2XL and I was using a Pitaka carbon fiber case for the past year. That was one of the best cases I have ever used. The carbon fiber seemed to have a grippy or rubber coating over the case and I never dropped that thing. The TPU cases that claim to have grip are still nothing like what the Pitaka case had. I have reached out to Pitaka and it sounds like they won't be making a case for the Pixel anymore. Bummer.
If you're looking for a slim, non-tpu case check out the Spigen Thin Fit. I had one on my LG G7 and got one for my Pixel 4. No problems with grip and definitely better than a TPU or glossy plastic case that gets slippery when you're wet, sweating, or have greasy fingers or something.

The grip on the thin fit is good, but beware that the edges stick up past the screen, and they're sharp. They make using gestures really annoying. I stopped using mine for that reason. They didn't think that one through for the Pixel 4.

Yeah, I haven't had that issue really, I don't use the gestures too often, but I can see where you're coming from. I'm hoping they release a Thin Fit 360 in the future, which would correct this issue entirely (at the expense of having a two-piece case design). I had it on my G7 and it was perfect. The only problems I see with that type of case now are they hug the outside of the screen just a tiny bit and tempered glass screen protectors can interfere with installation.
I'm using the black Speck Presidio Grip case. Very grippy, doesn't slide easily on slick surfaces, good drop protection, and not bulky at all.

Same here, it's a very nice case. I had the same on the S10 plus and Pixel 3XL and they were great as well. Can't really go wrong with it but it's a bit pricey compared to others.

They can be found cheaper on Amazon. Usually half the price from carrier stores

I just checked Amazon and they are the same price as local stores here. Give it a few months and yes Amazon will be cheaper but not today.
EFM Aspen Case
Check out the EFM Aspen Case. I've got it and it's super grippy. I've posted pics of it on another thread, but here's links for you:

Take a look at the imak TPU cases. They have a Metal Black (rubbery) and a rough texture one. I use the Metal Black one on my Pixel 1 and it has lasted almost 2 years. Good grip even for the non rough one, but has started to peel after 2 years. No biggie, it's $5.
It's on Aliexpress, I may try out the rough one this time as well when I get my 4.

My Dbrand Grip case came in last week. I put a orange carbon fiber skin on the back so I could remember that I have the orange Pixel 4 XL. So far, so good. I haven't got anywhere near dropping it. I had the fabric case from Google before. It was a fine case but it attracted stains.
using moment photo case and yes the sides are grippy like the pixel 4's sides.
If I remember I'll report back when my Dbrand case arrives, it is literally called 'grip' but who knows if it is nicer than the Spigen armor with kickstand, it is quite grippy.
ESR cases are very grippy and also has a kickstand
I'm actually loving my moment case for the 4XL, the walnut wood really sets it off, the inside has soft suede like material to keep it from scratching. I used to have the pitaka on my 2XL and forced it on the 3XL, it was way slimmer. But I've come to accept a little extra bulk for protection and the ability to add lenses is really special, it actually transforms the ability of the already fantastic camera.
Anyone know of a case similar to the ones from smartish? The kung fu grip cases have a rough outer edge and have a grip to them that i like very much. Only for iphones though. Anything similar maybe?
I had purchased a case from the Google store with my phone since I was so pumped about it. It was 40 bucks that I never should have spent. Their case is a piece of molded cardboard wrapped in felt. There wasn't even any protection on the bottom. Not only that, but the case was really slippery; always felt like it was going to slide out of my hands.
So, I purchased a Spigen Tough Armor case from Amazon and could not be more pleased. It fits better (still not as grippy as I'd like) and feels much more durable.
Dbrand has sale running .. Grip case $15 ..
