Made of flexible TPU, it features a sleek finish along the back and textured grip around the edges. It’s available in black and should look great whether you went with the Just Black or Black and White Pixel 2 XL.

Best Wallet

This case features a magnetic flap on the back that covers a slot big enough for about three cards or a couple cards and some cash. There’s a raised lip in the card slot, so even if you only have one card, you can still slide it out easily. The folding magnetic flap doubles as a kickstand so you can watch video hands-free.

Lifeproof FRE case

This Lifeproof case is designed to be form-fitting and lightweight while providing 360-degree protection that keeps all water and dust out while also providing great drop protection. This is marketed and sold as a premium case and that’s reflected in the price. It’s the most expensive case on our list but it’s arguably one of the most rugged, too.

$89 at Lifeproof

A year out from its release, the Pixel 2 XL is still an outstanding device that’s only going to get better as Google rolls out its camera updates. There’s a ton of great cases available, but if I had my pick I would go with the Spigen Tough Armor because it’s rugged enough to handle all my daily use and abuse without hitting my wallet hard.
