9 Best Pixel 2 XL Cases: The Ultimate List

If you are drawn to the 2 XL for its improved camera technology, the Moment Photo Case is a standout pick. Not only does this slim case protect your phone from drops but it also acts as a mount for Moment’s special-made wide angle lens attachment, which provides a larger viewing angle for that perfect shot. The case has a real wood accent, a low profile, and works with the Pixel 2 XL’s Active Edge.

Trianium’s Clarium case is a hybrid design by many accounts. It is hybrid in style, which merges a clear back plate with a sturdy TPU bumper frame.

It is also hybrid in size, bulking up your phone where it counts and leaving it alone where it can already handle drops.

What you’re left with is a phone cover that preserves the natural beauty of the Pixel 2 XL’s unibody aluminum case while air-cushioning your phone’s edges from drops and bumps.

Spigen’s Tough Armor is a reliable line of defender case that offers two layers of protection and some extra neat features.

This case allows hands-free viewing with a built-in kickstand that works in both portrait and landscape mode. It also supports the Pixel’s new Active Edge feature to invoke Google Assistant.

And beneath these features, you have solid drop protection on all sides. Its corners are well protected, and its front screen has a raised edge to protect your display.

If you want to keep your phone safe from every imaginable danger, LifeProof’s iconic FRĒ case is exactly what you need.

This case isn’t cheap, but it is one of few that fully seals your phone for 360° protection from everything.

Its rugged bumper frame and screen protector are IP-68 rated, which means that your phone will be safe from solid and liquid intrusion.

The LifeProof FRĒ is about your only option if you want your phone to be water, dirt, dust and snow-proof.

The Ringke Bevel case is a beautifully designed snap-on accessory that offers solid protection in a minimalist package. This lightweight and durable TPU sleeve slips right onto you Pixel 2 XL and keeps a low profile of only 1cm. Surprisingly, this is still large enough to offer some decent drop protection. The textured surface helps absorb shock, as well as provide some grip to prevent future drops.

Speck’s Presidio Grip Case is a stylish protective accessory that offers improved grip on your phone as well as comprehensive drop protection.

This case is made from Speck’s “Impactium” material, which absorbs and disperses shock across all corners and edges of the case.

Its button covers are responsive and its port cutouts are precise. And with all this, it’s still a fairly slim case.

Incipio’s Carnaby Esquire Case is one that clearly takes a cue from Google’s own proprietary fabric cases. The two are almost identical in looks, but the Carnaby case actually outdoes the Google case with a lower price and a smarter material. Rather than use hard PC, Incipio crafts their cases with rubbery TPU material, which is better for absorbing shock. That said, the cutouts for the lock button and charge port don’t feel as precise as they do on the Google-made cases. Still, this beautiful case remains one of the best Pixel 2 XL cases around.

The Unicorn Beetle Case from Supcase combines the simple look of a clear back plate with an ample bumper frame to protect from drops.

Its raised edges are just large enough to stop your phone from falling flat on its screen. The same goes for its back plate, which protects the rear camera lens.

Add precise cutouts for speakers and its USB-C port and you have everything you could need out of a slim phone case.
