Pitaka's Thinnest Protective Made from Kevlar/Aramid for Pixel 2s

[xzr3b0rnzx]

I just got the case, love it !!! quality is just as expected from kevlar cases. The camera is flushed with the case (i feel that it is slightly, just slightly raised to protect the camera which is a plus).
The lips of the case is not raise up to protect the screen though, but the edge is perfectly cut to the metal sides which makes it feels really natural to hold. If it is raised further, i think dust can be easily trap in side like the original google case so i think its fine for me, personally.
NOTE: this is not a carbon fibre case, its made of 100% kevlar/aramid. Carbon fibre as a case would have interference with signals.
PROTIP: when trying to remove the case, work from the buttom edge and slowly upwards along the power/volume side (i find it slightly easier on this side).

you are welcome i will do a brief review when i get the case, i have high hopes of it in terms of slimness, weight and texture.

Also ordered one, thanks for posting!

 

[xzr3b0rnzx]

no problem man, hopefully, it comes with a tempered glass protector.
because i have seen some reviews/unboxing on magcase for iphone 7, they did come with it.
fingers crossed!

update: no tempered glass included in package.. dang oh well

Ordered it since 10 days. But its not released yet or shipped.. I remember the 13th of this month was mentioned as a release day.. I tried it before with another device, very very slim but high quality.. Real carbon fiber.. Very minimal.. But very tough.. And it has the coils impeded for the magnet car holder..

Found the case yesterday on the web by coincidence...as they offer free shipping also to Eureop, I've ordered one, as I am looking for a thin case. Also have a Spigen Thin Fit but the Spigen is probably not as durable as the Pitaka.

Now I only need a decent tempered glass for the Pixel 2XL and then I am ready to receive it next week.

I wonder if this case will work with a dbrand skin on?

I assume it would because dbrand skin is literally a really thin piece of sticker but if u want to remove the case, u gotta remove it carefully as edges of the sticker is still protruding a just little.. well that's my guess

is the case thick enough to protect the camera lens?

Thats a very good question, but they should have taken that in consideration, coz they did with there iPhone cases

When someone gets this case, please post some pics of the camera coverage and the sxreen/case edge areas. Thanks

Interesting, so this thin case has metal plates in it? I would not be using it in my car.

 

[Nekromantik]

Will it interfere with NFC though.

No pixel nfc component is around the glass area of the phone but the metal is embedded around the middle area of the case.

It's there to make it compatible with their car mount but doesn't affect the thickness, flushed within the case

Just asked them if it sits flush with camera lense and they said yes :/

I'll wait for the review but I think MNML nailed it by raising the fingerprint sensor, effectively protecting the lens because of the angle it creates with the edge. Even though the case itself sits flush with the lens.

And it's really less expensive.

As long as it protects the camera.. So am assuming its as think as the camera bump or so.. That fine with me.. But again will wait to see it in hand..
