Best case?

Just replaced my trusty Nexus 6 with a Pixel 2XL loving it so far!

Need to protect it as I'm outdoors quite a bit but don't want a bulky case. What have you guys found to be good?
 
Best case is soooooo subjective. I have the Spigen Tough Armor and I love it. It's not too hefty but does provide superior protection. So it's still good in the pocket but protective in a fall. If you're hardcore they do have some that are more protective but maybe you should look at Otter Box.
 
I've currently got the rhinoshield solidsuit on. Does a great job at protecting the phone from drops (you can view reviews and demos on it on YouTube). The case fits really tightly and curves around the screen of the phone. The fit is extremet tight so taking the phone in and out is pretty much the worst thing about the case (if u intend to do so for some reason). The power button is extremely responsive, feels like there's no case. But the volume rocker due to the singe piece design gives it a kinda mushy feeling and really ups the effort taken to press them. Overall the design of the case is not on bad definitely doesn't feel cheap in the hand, especially for the price that you pay!
 
I'm using the i-Blazon case. It's got a front screen protector built in (not the film that annoyingly bubbles if you're not installing in a dust-free vacuum chamber) ; a clear back so the Pixel phone design shows through, rugged corners, all in a relatively slim, two-piece, case. Think Otterbox Defender that doesn't make your phone look like something out of a RoboCop movie.
 
My personal favourite is Ghostek Cloak 3. Perfect combination of sleek design and strong protection.
