Figured I'd start a thread for case options.

My favorite, and what I've used for a year now on my P2XL was the Maxboost mSnap Thin Cases Perfect Fit. Unfortunately they don't currently show anything for the P3.

My runner up was the Spigen Thin Fit. It didn't have the same full body protection as the Maxboost (sides were exposed) but I did like it a lot otherwise. Spigen does, apparently have the cases already, though they're not available on their website. They list 2 ThinFit options for the P3. A regular and a "360". Since I can't click on them I have no idea what the difference is. I WAS able to order one of these from Amazon. I'm assuming it's the regular one though. Figured it'll work until the Maxboost is released. Anyway, here's link: http://a.co/d/dcRtP8q

I really like Spigen cases. Would probably get one for this device
Yes, same! I've had a Spigen on my Nexus 5 for all 5 years I've had it and underneath the thing still looks brand new.
I've pre ordered the Spigen Thin Fit case in Graphite Gray off Amazon. It's currently showing an arrival date of around Thanksgiving. I hope it gets here sooner than that though!

Spigen

Amazon has the Rugged Armor right now. I find it beats the Thin for protection. Somewhere in between is the Diztronic that have on the Pixel XL. It is not our yet for the Pixel 3, so I got the Rugged Armor for $12.99 out of stock. I have had one before and it is a very good, one piece TPU case with much better drop protection than the Thin Fit. I am pretty clumsy.

Thats it thanks brother. this is the only case I have used for the OG Pixel, Pixel 2 and now the Pixel 3.
Same here. I've always used the Grip version. I've dropped every one of the phones I've used it on several times and they always survived without so much as a scratch. Ordered one for the Pixel 3 yesterday. The only pitfall is they are a bit spendy but they are also great protection. :)

Well, Spigen canceled my order for the thin fit in gray. I don't want a black case, so meh.
Decided to order the cloth case from Google in fog, as it does look mightttyyyy fine on a white phone in their pictures. Wasn't thrilled with the $40 price tag, but whatever. My only concern is that it will eventually start looking dirty.

Yeah they are a bit pricey but still well worth it. I just bought mine and it should be here Monday ready for my Pixel 3 whenever they ship LOL.

I grabbed a couple of Google's fabric cases from Verizon's site as they have 25% off Pixel 3 cases going on right now. I also grabbed an Otterbox Symmetry clear case.

update: So now that I have my phone. The fabric cases are nice, very minimal and the charcoal and fog colors look great. The Otterbox, however, didn't work out. It was very bulky and got scratched in a few places straight out the box. Getting my phone in and out of it was a pain too. So now I've returned the Otterbox and replaced it with a Spigen Liquid Clear case. The Spigen gives a good amount of protection with a clean look to really show off my white Pixel. It has a nice grip to it as well.

How'd you get it shipped so quick? Mine is showing it won't ship until the end of October.
That's odd. I ordered mine on Friday and received an email yesterday saying it had shipped. Perhaps they're out of them now? I've ran into that in the past with them but it always said something on the page about it.

The regular Thin Fit that you linked doesn't have any coverage for the top and bottom edges of the phone. The Thin Fit 360 does, and also includes a glass screen protector. The Amazon link for the Thin Fit 360 is http://a.co/d/acFpbNf

Thanks! Never heard of them but exactly what I need since I rarely ever drop my phone. Micro scratches are more an issue for me since I' always go caseless, but think I'll give this a go!
Use the code MNML20 to get 20% off your order. I used the MNML case on my Pixel 2 and it is the next best thing to using the phone naked. It doesn't diminish the feel of the phone at all and protects it against scuffs and scrapes which is exactly what I need. I don't drop phones (famous last words, lol) but hate cosmetic damage. The Pixel is a lovely slim phone and I really don't want to bulk it out with a thick case.

My clear case from Cimo just arrived. Still waiting on the phone, but it's a typical clear TPU. Not as thin as an X Level case, but not as thick as the Spigen Liquid Crystal cases. It will work until X Level releases one.
