Got the fabric case from Google. It fits pretty well, but when squeezing it on the right side around the buttons, I can see it move a tiny little bit. You have to look closely, but it drives my OCD crazy :silly:

The same for anyone else?

My only complaint is the size of the cutout and the lip around the fingerprint reader. It's only about 1/16th of an inch but, it makes using the swipe gesture on the reader a little more difficult. I had the UB Pro on my Nexus 5x and the iBlason case on my OG Pixel XL. I really liked UB on my 5x but, it wasn't offered for the Pixel. The iBlason case had a large cutout for the reader. It made the swipe gesture very easy to use.
I really like the design of this SUPCASE and the protection is great. One of my favorite cases.

Used to be a loyal MNML-style case user on Pixel OG and Pixel 2. Now I converted to this X-Level case and became a fan. I think the protection on the Pixel 3 is completed for now, until some company comes out with Whitestone-styled protector for under $15.

The case's profile is in between MNML/Totalee/Peel plastic sheet style and the other generic TPU cases. Feels bulkier than MNML but much nicer (thinner) than the other TPUs while preserving better bump protection than MNML. It reminds me of the ultra-thin Belkin case for Nexus 6P if you had experience with that. Miss 6P btw...

Can be found on Amazon for $10, give it try, you won't regret it. Worst case is to send it back like I did when I had ordered a red one and now replaced it with the newly in stock black one :p

What's your screen protector? It doesn't have full adhesive, does it

Nope, it's called ESR with 0 review on Amazon when I ordered it. Turns out it's just like the last year's generic one I had on Pixel 2 so it doesn't bother me. Now the bigger problem is after I've put the protector on, I found the phone's bootloader cannot be unlocked. All this joy did not last very long...

Just bought the official fabric case. Does anyone already tried it?
I tried them out but ended up returning them. They are very thin, so they don't offer much protection. My main issue was the texture of the fabric just felt uncomfortable and a bit slippery. I'm waiting for Google's Black Friday sale to get a MyCase instead.

The Google branded cases don't have full protection, usually leaving the top or bottom of the phone exposed.

Just FYI
