Pitaka MagCase

The Pitaka is by far the case I use the most. The $10 car mount that the case works with is fantastic. If anyone wants to buy I can share a code to save you 10%. I like slim cases and I have a full coverage loca screen protector installed too, InvisShield.

I have quite a few:

MNML (original & updated versions)

Vinve clear TPU

Maxboost

Spigen Thin Fit

Spigen Liquid Crystal

Spigen Rugged ARmor

Nillkin

Bear Motion

My absolute favorite of the bunch and the case I keep going back to is the Bear Motion. Those white specs in the pics aren't nearly as visible in person and the become even less visible over time.

If I'm doing anything where I think dropping my phone is a possibility I sport the Spigen Rugged ARmor.

My case lately has been the Spigen Thin Fit Case with SF Coated Non Slip Matte and I think it's pretty good for $12

I just got a clear protector (case friendly) from IQ Shield, and it's great. I tried a matte protector (full screen coverage) first, but I didn't have the patience to do the edges and ended up going with this one.

The protector itself is still larger than the actual display area and the borders work great with the Spigen Thin Fit case (I got it because of the cutout for a magnetic mount plate) which I'm also using. It's not a tempered glass protector, so you do get that plastic-y feel and small amount of the orange peel look, but that's just a fact of life with the wet-apply, plastic protectors.

I'm using this phone mount with this phone case since it has a slot designed for a magnetic plate.

Works very well and has a strong magnetic bond, but not too strong where you're fighting to get it off. It's just right.

I am enjoying this so far. It's a Spigen Thin Fit

While I have (and like) this case. It's not really a minimalist design, and adds a fair amount of "bulk" to the phone.

The below might be more light weight (but gives up protection as stated in the reviews)

Glad to hear this one is pretty good. I ordered this in favor of my friend's Spigen Thin Fit recommendation. I personally like hardshell, but I want to show off my Panda so I went with the Liquid Crystal.

They have a few varieties of mounts.

For the most part once I tighten it it stays. Though slowly it will come loose. At some point I will probably take some epoxy or something along that line and just permanently fix it in the position on want it. Probably when I break it from tightening or it wears too much to tighten.

​

It is held on by 3m tape.

I found that to be a good place to keep it out of the sun heat/ fan heat. Spot also cools off ok from AC. Also keeps my phone from blinding me when driving at night.

BIGGEST thing I like about that spot is that I don't have to stretch/reach like if it was up above the radio.

I also find that spot to be good because I can quickly steady my hand on shifter(people going to complain about that)/ find my position so I can quickly request new playlist or try and tap the voice command button if for some reason its not working by voice.

EDIT!:

Using a slim case like this that has a depression in it so I don't actually have to stick the metal plate for the magnetic part to my phone or a case.

I have the Spigen Tough Armor, not slim by any means. I love the kick stand and I've used this since my Nexus 6, sturdy af.

I also have the Spigen Thin Fit, again followed from my Nexus 6. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07475C1VT

I bought the crystal one you mention ans i hated because it doesn't keep the spirit of the phone it makes it bulky and cheap. I bought this one and i love it https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07475C1VT/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Sure edited post to add this

I was looking for something as close to the Google Silicon case from the OG Pixel since I loved that case! I own both the Incipio DualPro and the Spigen Thin Fit cases.

The Incepio is probably the closest to the Google case, has good grip and seems like it would offer great drop protection. The downside is that it is a bit bulkier than I like.

The Spigen is much thinner and has good grip. Obviously this one is going to offer less drop protection. I love it so far, the only thing I have noticed is that the near the charger, the lip of the case is slightly pointy which can be uncomfortable for me since I like to use my pinky to hold up the phone.

Correct. I bought a Spigen one that came the same day. Probably put it on an hour after the skin. Case here

Happy with the case and fairly happy with the skin. It's a little rough on the sides. Feels scratchy and I notice it more on the right since it is very slightly off center. Looks flawless around the camera but you can tell at the power button when viewing in person. First skin though so I'm not too mad.

With all the waiting since 4th october I went a bit mad and ordered a bunch of cases!
I got the Ringke Bevel, Spigen Thin Fit and also the Google fabric cement coloured case. Think that's not going to wear well at all as you already identified. Had to stop myself buying more! Very impatient for the phone to just arrive :) it's hard to say if any of the 3 I bought will be any good without the phone to put them on.
