I have this for my 3 XL and I love it. Got it on Black Friday sale too.
Wish I would have seen the BF sale on these... want to grab one for my XL as well. Currently have the Ringke Onyx though and really satisfied with that. Came from the Neo Hybrid which was far too slippery and added too much width for me

Google MyCase

I got my Google MyCase a few days ago and I love it! Just the right amount of protection without being too bulky and the white color matches my white Pixel 3 beautifully. I chose the maps case and went with a map of Disney's Magic Kingdom. The phone can be a bit difficult to remove from the case, but it keeps it in place and makes me feel that my phone will be pretty well protected. I'm still waiting for my RhinoShield SolidSuit case (it won't ship til after Christmas) and I just ordered Google's new Silicone case for my wife's Pixel 3. So I'll leave my thoughts on those cases as they arrive. I hope the pics are ok. Lighting was not the best at the time of taking them.

Incipio NGP feedback?

I agree, I ditched mine for a Caseology Vault that I like so far. Also ordered the Incipio NGP to give it a try.
I'm considering the Incipio NGP case to use with my white Pixel 3. Does anyone have any feedback on it? Wanting to show off the phone, but need grip and some drop protection. I have the Caseology Vault, which has both, but it's a bit too bulky for me and it hides the phone too much. Tried the Totallee frosted white, but it was hard for me to hold. Made me nervous since it's so thin.

I found it to be way too soft and flexible for my liking. It reminded me of a cheap TPU case that just looks a lot nicer.

My favorites include the tech21 Evo Max and OtterBox symmetry for drop protection, and the Ringke fusion/trianium clarium for style/function.

Id rather have a thicker phone with piece of mind though so Im using the Evo max for now. Still pretty slim.

Eventually want to try the UAG and lifeproof 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
Thanks for the tip! Came from the Totallee case to x-level and am loving it! Feels solid, grippier, and has elevated buttons. Cutouts make these buttons too hard to find and press.

Someone else on xda introduced me to x-level cases last year and it's all I use now. They're thin enough to still feel comfortable in hand, but thick enough to actually protect your phone from the occasional drop.

Does your xlevel case say "AUTO FOCUS TRUE TONE FLASH" to the right of the camera opening? It's the only thing I don't like. It looks pretty cheesy. Otherwise the case fits great.

Rhinoshield SolidSuit

I pre-ordered my rhinoshield solidsuit case at the end of November and it finally shipped at the end of December and arrived a few days ago. It's awesome! Adds a bit of bulk, but still comfortable. 11ft drop protection. A nice white that compliments my white pixel 3 and I ordered a set of buttons to give it a nice red power button for a pop of color (the button pack came with white, yellow, navy blue, red, pink, and green). It's exactly what I was looking for in a case.

Pics attached taken on my old Note 8 in dim lighting.
