I made the plunge and ordered the 3 given the discounts that Google is currently offering. I've been using the Caseology Parallax with my OG Pixel for 2 years and generally like how thin, grippy, and durable it's been. Any recommendations on cases for the 3?

I'm using a caeology on mine (couldn't find a Spigen I liked for it) and I'm happy with it.
Fabric case is very nice.
It's a little slippery though.
More slippery than the bare phone?
About the same.
It's awful IMO
Slipperyness or the case overall?
Both. Slippery and just the way it felt to the touch. Hard to explain and may have just been a personal thing because other people seem to like it, but I absolutely hated the feel of it. I'm usually a case guy but disliked it so much it convinced me to go caseless for the first time since my 6P.
And yes I thought it was actually more slippery than the phone itself
Hated that case feel so much tbh. For 40 bucks I returned it without a second thought. Might go caseless (have pop socket for easier holding at least) even though it's risky
I've got the Moment Photo case with the woodgrain inlay. If you're interested in the lenses, the case is pretty solid, if a bit bulky. Also used the Parallax prior; the Moment cases's TPU is a bit smoother and the cutouts are really nicely beveled, unlike the Parallax's, which I found to be quite sharp.
I bought two cases:

and

The I'm happy with both of them, the first one protects my cellphone better, but if you want something minimal you can change it to the spingen. What I haven't been able to find is a screen protector, I bought one on amazon but it was complete garbage.
Hope it helps, and Enjoy your Pixel !!!
I've got a force glass screen protector that I'm really happy with, don't know where you can buy it from the US though

I'm considering the Spigen one. Is it soft(er) and somewhat protective or just hard plastic?
I know spingen has a soft one, the one I bought and post is hard plastic
if you want leather, nomad makes solid leather cases. Im actually selling mine if your interested, i returned my pixel 3
I have this case and it's great.
Where are you located? I'm in Norway, I'm interested if shipping is cheap.
Missouri lol, I'll have to check shipping prices
Interesting. I'll take a look and get back to you
The Speck Case is on sale constantly (as far as I've viewed it) and the grip it provides is so comfortable, slick and perfect for taking still photos(bcs of the grip). I strongly recommend this case as it allows for wireless charging through it, can be removed without any hassle (like LifeProof cases) and it comfy to the core.
I'm on the spigen super slim. Little slippery as well, but together with a tampered glass on the screen covers just about every dangerous angle and isn't too bulky.
I got the google fabric case works great, Does not slip either.
Speck grip.
I got the leather Bellroy case for my 3XL. It's great. They make it for both sizes. It's thinner than three Caseology cases I tried (they all felt chunky and awkward to hold), it's nice and grippy and has a decent lip on the front.
I'll take a look!
I'm rocking Spigen Rugged Armor. Great protection while adding minimal bulk and its super comfortable in the hand because the sides are smooth and round. Great texture and has cool accents.
Edit: rugged armor, not tough armor. Tough Armor is not comfortable in the hand because of the jagged edges
Got this one as well. Working pretty well so far
Thank you. With the few comments here it seems like the Spigen rugged seems like the go to thin case.
