Anyone spotted any 'magsafe' cases - would like to "convert" a Pixel 6 to be able to exploit magsafe conpatible chargers (even at low charge rates)

Ordered two separate cases to try out.

Wonder why Google didn't follow that idea forward? They had magnetic alignment for wireless charging in Nexus 5/7, then they dropped the magnets in Nexus 6.

I have used cases with holsters forever and ordered this clear case and holster by Encased from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09HWRN4CV

Ordered and received a Spigen Ultra Hybrid and Encased belt clip with clear case.

My understanding is that is the only case so far that's magsafe compatible https://www.shopmoment.com/products/moment-case-for-pixel-6/6

OtterBox defender arrived today. I thought it had a screen protector like the Unicorn Beetle, so returning it. The problem with the Unicorn Beetle on my previous phone was that the cover latch broke over time. This happened to other people I know as well. Also, reviews show that there are issues with using the fingerprint reader with the Pixel 6. Too bad, as otherwise I like the case, even though I had to use a Dremel tool to grind off the holster since I keep the phone in my pocket and it added extra bulk.

Debated on a Unicorn Beetle Pro case, had a great experience in the past with one. But wasn't too sure on the screen protector as the past one didn't have that included. Ended up getting the Caseology Parallax. Shows up today. Was half the price. Idk....second guessing now. LOL

Just got my case and screen protector in today!

Caseology has made my absolute favorite cases for some time now. Just the right amount of protection without being unnecessarily bulky. Good grip, as well as a really nice design. And cheap as chips over here in the UK for some reason. Around £10.

Heavy Duty "Active Cases" for Pixel?

Before my Pixel I had an HTC One M8 with a Spigen Slim Armor. I ride a bicycle both on road and off road. I fell off my bike onto my right thigh pocket where my phone was and ended up denting the phone.
In my search the Otterbox Commuter/Defender seems to be the only options for true-heavy duty Pixel cases. If I get the Defender I would have to stop using my glass screen protector. The Commuter seems more reasonable, but ( as for any non-Apple/Samsung Otterbox) has only 2 color options and yes I know I'm being picky now.
Does anyone have any other recommendations for a good impact resistant cases? I don't think I'm ever not gonna carry my phone when I ride my bike, so I want a somewhat heavy duty case that can prevent the phone scenario that I previously described. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I had a Supcase for one of my phones before and I did not like the built in screen protector. When I took it off it ended up scratching my front glass display somehow. Also the back did not feel as rigid as the OtterBox cases.

Ah ok. The Spigen tough armor is great. It's one of my favorites. I currently have the rugged armor and love it

I'd totally recommend the UAG case with a Spigen tempered glass screen protector (If you're into screen protectors). I've dropped my Pixel a few times already with my UAG case and it survived. Used them on my last HTC M9 as well, no complaints!
I agree. The UAG with a tempered glass is a good combo to tackle those accidental drops. The UAG upper lip around the phone safeguards the phone really well. I have used the defender before, somehow the built in screen protector doesn't feel nice and dust keeps coming in. Another option would be the OtterBox commuter as you mentioned

YOUMAKER Slim Fit Full-body Rugged Heavy Duty Protection Cover Case for Google Pixel . It is dual-layer structure of premium shock-absorbing TPU and durable hard polycarbonate provide protection against accidental drops, bumps and shock. It is also belt clip holster provides an easy solution of carrying the device during travel and work.
UAG, Spigen Rugged, Orzly (Fusion, Great impact resistance but case prune to scratches), Have all the 3 cases UAG feels great also looks good on phone (Personal preference), Spigen no choice of colors, unless you buy their other series like slim armor blah blah but sturdy. I keep switching between Spigen and UAG, Use orzly occasionally for it glow in dark rim (Only with White).
I got a Lifeproof for my pixel. Best case out there. From now on when I upgrade phones, the availability of a Lifeproof case will be a strong consideration.
I went for the rhinoshield crashguard. It has impact resistance of 11 foot drops but is a bumper case so it leaves the fingerprint reader unimpeded. That being said, it wont stop bending or impacts directly to the glass, but I use it with a tempered glass cover.
It's been great for me because I feel comfortable filming from my skateboard or bike without worrying about having a wrist strap.

Hi, I've just bought a Lifeproof Fre for my Pixel. The flip camera gesture to swap in and out of selfie mode does not work with this case on, and neither does the "lift to check phone" one. Are you experiencing these issues too? And does the screen go black when making a phone call? (Can't end the call or do anything on the screen during call).

I'm not experiencing any of these issues with this case. Not even sure how a case would effect these things.

S8 Ultra-thin case? (Peel-like case)

Hello guys,
I am still doing my search for an ultra-thin case with mate finish for my S8. It is something like the Peel cases for iPhone (sadly they don't care about Samsung phones).
There are some thin cases but I often don't like their glossy finish or the case is not well built.
If anyone knows a case like the Peel, please let me know

This looks closest to peel/Cali case I always use, will be purchasing this for myself , got the wife a Spigen liquid armor she needs a bit more protection
Received the elago case today in black. Cut outs are exact and fit is good, seems to be a bit of movement along the edges.
Perfect for scratch protection and a screen protector should work great with the elago.

Nope - the one negative for me. If it was, it would be perfect, but otherwise it's great
Spigen AirSkin is the best quality and closest you'll get to Peel or Caudabe.
+1 for Spigen Airskin. It is .36mm and the peel is .35mm. It is *very* thin, bordering on scratch-only protection.
Are you guys speaking from experience on the S8? The Spigen air skin doesn't fit my S8 for some reason, it's just a tad bit too narrow. Spigen was nice enough to replace it, but the new one is the same.
MNML fits perfectly and is the same ultra thin type case. It's my vote for the S8. The other benefit to the MNML case over the Spigen is, the bottom is covered on the MNML, while on the Spigen it's exposed.
I have the Spigen Air Skin on an S8 now and it fits perfectly. The bottom is exposed (except the corners) and the back cutout looks to be different (one big cutout) than the MNML (3 separate cutouts). Face down, it still sits without the front glass touching.
The Nillkin brand of cases out of china are good quality. I've owned a few version of their cases for different models of phone. If you want the slimist case that is TPU and gives some slight shock protection over not having a case, the NATURE line is awesome. I just ordered my clear S8 case from Amazon. can't go wrong with this case. I will update once it arrives.
Also, thing of note...this case has a separator for the camera and fingerprint reader. This actually helps out and functional to keep me from placing my finger on the camera. My current case has the same design as this was a feature I was looking for. Most of the cases has a large cutout on the back which I think was the cheap/fast way to release a case.

I got mine from a company called Bare Cases. Think they're a small company but the case felt very premium. Has a matte finishing. So far it's scratched at the back but I don't mind it cos I guess it protects my phone from those exact scratches.
The Spigen air skin didn't fit good and I just gave up with that.

Cases

Any reviews or feedback on cases. I've always used a thin spigen TPU case with the carbon fiber look. Wouldnt mind another one or a suede feeling case.
Most of the good looking ones on ebay show no cutout on the rear for the fingerprint.
Thanks
I ordered the FitBag Beat in black from Amazon.com for the Xioami Mi Max 2 and it is the perfect fit sleeve/bag for the Mate 20 X. It works by itself or with the gel Case that came with it. Add a wallet sticker dohicky thing and it's a prefect wallet sleeve.

For those of you who like the transparent cases i found one that is awesome. It has more screen protection than the stock case and has more corner protection. It's one of the best clear cases I've bought. It's similar in quality to a Spigen or Rinke Fusion case but 1/3 the price. I bought it from here:

Grippy?
Anyone know where can I find this case?
I got this case and I feel it could provide decent protection. I am never a fan of thin or thick case. It's impossible to provide enough raised edges on thin cases. This case isn't perfect but I didn't find anything better yet.

Do you have a Link?
Just Google MojoSkins.
I got a few from them. Thier full protection skins are great but hard to get on perfect. The back portion goes on easy as the skin is thick making application simple. They also over back protectors (no side/top/bottom flaps) that I think work best.
Bought this J&D case off Amazon for $10.99CND. Not too bulky. Wicked drop protection soft TPU inside Hard shell outside. Plus has plugs built in to protect charger port and headphone jack. Plus the volume and power buttons are super clicky. Highly recommend.
The clear TPU case provided with the phone is functional (I dropped my phone onto a hard floor with this case on and the phone was fine), but I do find the phone 'slippery' to pick up with this case. I have the Nillkin nature series tpu case for my Xiaomi Mi Max 3 (same size phone) and it is great because its edges are coated with a frosted grip material. Nillkin make this case for the Mate 20 and Mate 20 lite, but not for the Mate 20 x. Does anyone know of a similar clear TPU case that (unlike the Huawei one) has frosted edges for a better grip?
I have quite a few cases and have a few more on the way. I was thinking of doing a case review eventually.
Still no cases made especially for the stylus pen?
Ditto on looking for a case that will also hold the pen.
Found one with pen holder!

What Case is everyone going with for their S20 Ultra?

Just wanting to see what all cases everyone is getting for their S20 Ultra. I am debating on getting the UAG Monarch Series case again. Their really good cases and not bulky at all.
I've preordered the Samsung Protective Standing Cover along with the phone.
I've also ordered a Zizo Bolt.
I used to like UAG Monarch, UAG Plasma and Otterbox Symmetry cases, but they offer very little drop protection at the bottom lip, which is loose.
Also thinking of getting the Speck Presidio Grip and Gear4 Battersea.
I work in a factory environment so defender/whitestone all the way...
I'm trying to find one that will a) have built-in magnets for magnetic mounting (want them built-in so there's no bulge from inserting a flat one between the case and the phone so it lies flat on it's back), and b) have those magnets in a place where it minimizes disruption to wireless charging. The only one I was able to find for my S9 was by Pitaka (with their own magnetic mount, which makes sense since the magnets are in a non-standard location), but the case had an issue where the top/bottom/side lips wouldn't extend past the front face to protect the screen from lying flat on it's front on a desk.

Nice- thanks!
Pitaka, since many years, for day to day / office, dBrand Grip case (with custom pitaka plates under the back sticker) as a self made 'Pitaka pro' for days with higher demand for protection.
Using Pitaka in the car daily, so I want that option ti stick it to my magnetic Qi charger in the car.
Latercase for me. Probably the DBrand case and skin also
I'll go with the Spigen Neo Hybrid. Slim enough not to be embarrassing, but offers drop protection. Gone are the days of OB Defender, UAG, etc. Second option would be the SupCase Unicorn Beetle.
I also buy the QuadLock case for the Summer, to use with my bike.
Black leather offical from their site. Although most of the time I don't use a case even though I should. But given the hefty price tag it probably will be wise to keep it on

The (Samsung) black leather case was nice from the S10+ series. Got an open box from Best Buy for $29 in perfect condition although the package looked like Flossy opened it! LOL. The silicone IMO was junk!
The rugged (Samsung) case is great, the kickstand comes in handy. I have one on my S10 5G and Note 10+ and will be picking one up for the S20U.
I may splurge and get the Pitaka for the S20U as the pics I've seen with the phone in it just look plain sick!
I'm gonna start with the Caseology Parallax and Spigen Neo Hybrid for now. Got them both on the way!
Spigen Rugged Armor, already in hand lol
Been using S-view cover on N10+ since September, it does great screen protection job, don't want anything else for my S20 Ultra. Scratch protection 24/7 and a piece of mind when the phone is being put into or taken out of jacket or pant's pockets. My N+10 screen still has a 'mint' looks even after 6 months of use w/o any protective film, I peeled that off right after getting it.

I'm sticking with the Spigen Tough Armor, same one I have on my 3A right now. Along with a 3 pack of Shieldbrainz screen protectors (I went through 3 of those for the 3A in the time I had it, got the 3a just after it dropped).
Edit: Just received the Spigen and compared the case to the 3A case I have. It's just a tad bit shorter in length and just a little thicker but everything else seems right on. The cutouts on the end are even about the same so this gives me some idea of the size difference (seems negligible).

So I have been on a bit of a shopping spree (oops). Thankfully Amazon US has free returns on cases. I currently have the:
DiMiK case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084S3ZY9G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_jbZmFbDRNDBWQ
Caseology Vault: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083Q4SY5G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_5aZmFb8PPY0N6
Spigen Liquid Crystal: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083N54J5Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_OaZmFbVDVR3P1
And tomorrow I get the Cyrill Brick Case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083QQTQ3V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_5.YmFb2PCB9HQ
Quick notes and observations.
1) All of the cases are the exact same size and thickness.
2) The DiMiK case is as cheap as you would expect. No real corner protection or grip and the form is not perfect.
3) The vault is great quality but notably heavier than the other cases. Outside of the extra weight, my main concern is grip from this case. The texture adds no real grip to the phone. Form is perfect.
4) Liquid crystal also has almost perfect build quality with one small imperfection on the inside of a corner. Very light weight with great protection. The grip on this case is fantastic (important to me). Unfortunately I think it will get noticeably scuffed and will eventually turn yellow.
Q: Are caseology and spigen made by the same company? The form, quality and packaging are almost identical. The difference is the color, weight and grip.
I wish I had a solid color liquid crystal case. That is why I am trying the brick case. No perfect solution yet.
Thought I would share with everyone.

Spigen Liquid Crystal: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083N54J5Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_OaZmFbVDVR3P1
And tomorrow I get the Cyrill Brick Case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083QQTQ3V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_5.YmFb2PCB9HQ
Quick notes and observations.
1) All of the cases are the exact same size and thickness.
2) The DiMiK case is as cheap as you would expect. No real corner protection or grip and the form is not perfect.
3) The vault is great quality but notably heavier than the other cases. Outside of the extra weight, my main concern is grip from this case. The texture adds no real grip to the phone. Form is perfect.
4) Liquid crystal also has almost perfect build quality with one small imperfection on the inside of a corner. Very light weight with great protection. The grip on this case is fantastic (important to me). Unfortunately I think it will get noticeably scuffed and will eventually turn yellow.
Q: Are caseology and spigen made by the same company? The form, quality and packaging are almost identical. The difference is the color, weight and grip.
I wish I had a solid color liquid crystal case. That is why I am trying the brick case. No perfect solution yet.
Thought I would share with everyone.

The brick case looks cool with the switchable buttons

I'm sticking with the Spigen Tough Armor, same one I have on my 3A right now. Along with a 3 pack of Shieldbrainz screen protectors (I went through 3 of those for the 3A in the time I had it, got the 3a just after it dropped).
Edit: Just received the Spigen and compared the case to the 3A case I have. It's just a tad bit shorter in length and just a little thicker but everything else seems right on. The cutouts on the end are even about the same so this gives me some idea of the size difference (seems negligible).

Can you post a link to those screen protectors?

I believe so. If you go to the Spigen website, at the top there are links to Caseology and Cyrill, as well as the Spigen Gearlock collection, and all the websites are styled and formatted identically.
That and: https://trademarks.justia.com/owners/spigen-inc-2959513/
I grabbed the pastel black dbrand skin for mine. Phone's plastic and should survive a drop so no case for me.

I just order the Spigen Rugged Armor this morning. https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Rugged-Armor-Designed-Google/dp/B083N5DD7K/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=spigen+pixel+4a&qid=1597678531&s=electronics&sr=1-1
I have been happy with my nearly Spigen case for my OnePlus3T. I wish there was a bright red or blue besides just black...but I can live with black. I would have considered the Tough Armor If I had found that in my amazon searches. I like how the Tough Armor gets wider around the camera bump to protect it.

I don't know how that case retails for 39.99 on Spigen's website, and only 14.99 on Amazon, but I ordered one just in case it's a momentary mis-pricing.
Spigen Tough Armor is the way to go. I've dropped my pixel 4a twice on concrete with no issues. I like the way it feels and it performs. Just wish it came in other colors.
There are not a lot of quality choices out there for the pixel 4a., but luckily this one is top drawer.

Got a Caseology Parallax for the wife. She wanted something to add some color to the black phone. Case fits really well and the case looks really nice (if you're into their colors), but it's kind of a bit slippery. I have a feeling it won't be her forever case, but it's a fine case and will probably be the one she uses until we discover her forever case. Buttons are plenty clicky and the phone is plenty protected without being insanely bulky (it's not insanely thin either - it's in the middle of the spectrum but towards the bukly end). She usually goes with a Speck Presidio Grip case, but wanted to try something new. If you don't need a grippy or minimal case, I'd recommend it.
It fits perfectly with an OMOTION or Orzero TGSP.
Got this from Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086X647CC?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
2 cases for $8
Since I got my phones today and put these on- the fit well, corners are protected, covers the camera. Does everything a case should do
Did I mention it's $8 for 2 cases?
My biggest "look-for" is a case that will allow a phone ring holder to adhere to it securely. That rules out the Caseology Parallax unfortunately for me..
I got a spingen; Black thin; https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Thin-Designed-Google-Pixel/dp/B083N3YT4Z#ace-g7448806443
I got the same one as above^ and two more from the Spigen brand. I love the quality feel on them. Definitely recommend Spigen.
I purchased the Caseology Vault case. Fits fine. The lip around the edge of the screen sometimes makes the gestures a little more difficult but I think I've adapted now.

I would love to get the Tough Armor but that plastic stand seems iffy to me. I've seen reviews of the case and it looks a little flimsy and like it might break. If the back of the case was completely solid without it, it would be my go to no questions asked. For now I picked up a Caseology Parallax which is set to arrive on Monday (my phone was just delivered today) to see if I like it or if I want to switch over to the Spigen Rugged Armor.
