OTTERBOX Defender Series Case for Google Pixel 2 XL - Retail Packaging - Purple Nebula (Winsome Orchid/Night Purple)

I've always been a fan of the otter box, and this one is no exception. I'm really happy that this series has foregon the built in screen protector, as previous defender series cases had terrible plastic.I'm really happy with the level of durability, and I love the way the case goes together around the phone. It's quite difficult to remove however, so keep that in mind.My only real complaints are that the USB port cover isn't flexible enough so it pushes on the cable. I'm not sure of good that is long-term for the USB port. Plus the stress it puts on the rubber I fear will perminantly warp it at the button degrading appearance. Additionally, the back of the rubber part sags a bit away from the plastic, which is noticeable mostly around the fingerprint sensor cutout. It just looks and feels a bit weird that it seems slightly loose back there.I am using this case (Otterbox Defender) with the Whitestone Dome glass screen protector. It fits perfectly in this case, allowing just enough room around the glass to prevent the case from lifting it up, but not so much as to be a noticeable gap.

I used the same case for my original Pixel. Besides not having the built in screen protector (which actually seems to trap dust behind it) the version seems like it is not as bulky besides being on a larger phone. Only thing I have to get used to is it clips into the holster upside down compared to original pixel one which clipped the phone in camera down which was a natural way to clip it. Now I just have to remember to flip it over before clipping it into the holster. No big deal. Great quality product to protect my phone.

I had this same case series for my Pixel XL, and it protected my phone well. Love this one even better than the one for the Pixel XL. This one, for the Pixel 2XL, first I love the color options, the deep purple with pink accent is perfect for me. Secondly, there have been a couple of improvements. It fits into the holster better, and you can tell it is securely in because it makes a loud snap sound as it clicks in. Another improvement is that the phone fits in upside down, ie, top pointed down. When you remove it from the holster, it is already in position. The older model, I had to flip the phone end to end as I brought it up to my face. I just upgraded from the Pixel XL to the Pixel 2XL and just got the case, 2 weeks ago. I like it so much, I ordered a second one as a backup. My case for my Pixel XL, I caught the holster clip on a camp chair as I sat down, and broke it, so I had to order a second one to get another clip holster. The case itself was fine and never had to be replaced. So I have a backup for this one already . . .

This is my first OtterBox case, and overall I'm pretty happy so far. My previous case cost $7 with an included tempered glass screen protector. The bottom TPU tore off of my first case within a couple weeks and I just left it like that until I had the screen replaced following the mysterious incident in which my front camera shattered without the phone being dropped.Although this new case cost $25 on sale several years after I bought my phone, it's enough of an upgrade over all my previous phone cases that I just might buy an OtterBox defender right away with my next phone, even if it does cost the full MSRP of $50+.I actually had to read the instructions to disassemble and install the case because all the reviews I could find kind of glossed right over the installation step. 20 minutes of reviewing the packaging, then a cut to the phone with the case already installed. 😆 I tried to solve this puzzle for more than 30 minutes while searching for an installation video, and was scared to just pull and pry. Eventually I gave up on all my past experiences installing phone cases, YouTube failed me as well, and I had to go RTFM.The case does add a lot of bulk to the phone. It's a little strange to me that the inner case is hard plastic and the outer layer is hard rubber, unlike most other multi layer cases which have a soft TPU inner layer and hard plastic outer later.I'm a little disappointed it does not have an integrated screen protector like the OtterBox defender cases for other phone models, but apparently having curved screen edges like the pixel 2xl is a deal breaker.I love the holster and feel like it somewhat stands in place of a screen protector, but I think it would have been better in the holster could click onto the phone both right side up and upside down. A lot of the time I go to click my phone in, and end up pressing the volume button instead.The other design limitation of the holster is that you can't use use the fingerprint unlock on the back of the phone if the phone is clipped in with the screen facing out.The holster does have a cool bonus feature that lets you click the belt clip open and use it as a kickstand. Unfortunately, as I mentioned earlier, you cannot use the fingerprint sensor to unlock if your phone goes to sleep while in kickstand mode.

This Otter box for Google Pixel 2xl is a great phone case. The phone case only cost $29.99 and free shipping. It is very durable and holds up very well. They do not make them with screen protectors anymore incase you have a phone with a curved screen but its fine cause I have a screen protector I can put on my phone. Other then that this phone case is worth the money. I love it and the color.

Buen productor

If it wasn't for this case I probably wouldn't have a phone anymore!! I dropped it lots of time and went under the rain to take pictures and it protected my phone. It is a bit bulky, but that's a price I'm willing to pay for my phone's protection and I like the clip over the case, especially for when I don't have any pockets to fit my phone.

The Otterbox line of cases may be too utilitarian for people who like a flashy, fun design... but if you're looking for a case to protect your investment, then this is the best choice by far. The fit and finish of these cases is perfect, and the rubber outer shell is extremely grippy so your phone will never slip out of your hand, yet the case doesn't get 'stuck' in your pocket. The price point may be a bit high compared to other cases, but if you consider the price of a new phone, it's well worth it to buy some REAL protection for it.

Da ich mein Pixel 2 XL aufgrund eines Hardwaredefekts zurück gesendet habe, konnte ich diese Schutzhülle nicht genau testen.Sie macht aber einen sehr robusten Eindruck.

Had an Otterbox on my Samsung S6.Never regretted the purchase.Just purchased a new one for my Pixel II XLFits perfectly and looks great.Sooner or later, you will drop your phone.The Otterbox will almost certainly save it.Looks good, fits great & fills you with confidence.The one on my Samsung is about 4 years old and still looks pretty much as good as new.
