Spigen Tough Armor [Extreme Protection Tech] Designed for Google Pixel 4 XL Case (2019) - Black

Have been using Otterbox Commuter series for some time, but it appears that whole product line is discontinued. With a new Pixel 4XL in hand, I went looking for other options without having to resort to the thick as a brick Defender. I've had Spigen in the past and the quality was very good. I elected the dual component ToughArmor case over the other options, which were just TPU molded products.The phone slips right in and looks at home. Case looks like it'll take a beating and feels secure in your hand. I would say they should put a bit of a radius on the angles, as those with smaller or soft hands might find them uncomfortable. I'd also like to see a softer durometer "rubber" used, as it's quite a bit firmer than what Otterbox uses. Kickstand a bit flimsy, but I rarely use a kickstand and won't miss it if it fails.All in all, if you're looking for the equivalent of a Commuter case, this is it. If you need more protection than this case offers, go straight to a Defender.

As always, Spigen provides a brilliant product at a great price. Fully protects the device with a nice 2mm lip above the screen to help protect that dreaded flat drop onto the screen. The combination of TPU and PC makes for a case that is solid, tough, *stays on the phone* (as opposed to straight TPU cases) and attractive. The PC layer looks sharp, and the kickstand is quite useful for watching shows or long sessions testing apps. Highly recommended, I've bought a half dozen and will continue to buy them for myself and my family.

I've been using Spigen cases since the Nexus line of phones, through the first 2 Pixels, and now for the 4th one. They have yet to disappoint me. I choose these heavier duty cases because I drop my phone a lot! It takes a beating at work, but protects my phone properly. I have yet to break a screen with the Spigen case installed.Even after 2 years with no screen protector on my Pixel 2, the Spigen case kept it protected. I did install a Pullen screen protector for this new Pixel, because it actually fits with the case installed. Fits nicely too.All the cutouts line up perfectly. It doesn't interfere with the screen protector. The edge gestures still work perfectly. The power and volume buttons aren't affected by the case. The only thing I don't like about the case is the "kickstand". It's is hardly useful as a kick stand, very flimsy and doesn't lock in that tightly. It will hold the phone in landscape mode, for now. But I don't see it lasting. Even on a perfectly flat surface, the kick stand is sketchy at best. I can see this kick stand being broken off pretty quickly.So really just the one negative. A mediocre kick stand. I didn't buy it for that so I don't really care. I bought it for the added protection and simple good looks. For that it shines. If you want a case with a nice kick stand, spend more money than this. If you're hard on your phones like me, you won't be disappointed in this case.

While I plan on later investing in a higher rated case, this one serves the purpose of giving me reasonable peace of mind if i were to drop my new expensive phone and at a reasonable price. It fits well and installs easy and feels robust and like it can take a shock or two. That being said there are a couple of caveats, first the supposed kickstand does not function as a kickstand. It will however serve as a in hand stabilizer kind of like a popsocket. also it is a bulky case as such, while it will work with wireless charging as advertised, it can take a bit to get it to work. and finally the buttons are kind of awkward to press and don't feel very good. A further nitpick I may add is it would be nice if there were multiple case options other than black. Overall though if you are looking for something you feel will protect your new phone this will certainly do the job without hurting your already sore wallet.

I really like this case. It goes on snuggly, feels rugged and has probably saved my phone 3-4 times already. There's a slight raised lip to the front of the case, which saves the screen from touching flat surfaces when placed face down. The matt black finish is understated compared to the the phone's natural high gloss black finish. I'm also able to use wireless charging through the case without any issues too, which is important to me.The kickstand on the back is flimsy looking, but I've used it quite a bit in the last year and surprisingly it's still going strong; I think this is because the plastic they used for the kickstand has a bit of flex, so it doesn't just snap off instantly if you put the wrong pressure on it.

Just as it's called, this is a tough case. This is my second or third Tough Armor case from Spigen - one of the best known names in cell cases. I've purchased more than one because they work well to protect your phone. I also use Spigen's car mounting product with a magnet. The base mounts in vent and has a strong magnet. The metal piece is then mounted inside your cell case and your cell quickly mounts to the base when you put it up to the magnet. It works well with the Tough Armor case including with XL size phones. The kick stand is a nice feature. I like to watch news in the morning while eating breakfast before work and it's nice to put my phone on landscape mode and it stands on its own without having to lean it against something. Cleans up well too - important during a pandemic. I disinfect it with Clorox wipes after coming home from grocery shopping and then rub down with Windex as well.
