For cases, I would stick with something like Spigen.
I've had this case since I got my phone back in November and it's worked wonders.
I don't really know if other cases offer protection like this, but even when I had a similar spigen case on my previous Samsung S6, I didn't seem to get any screen cracks or any wear and tear, on the screen atleast, with these cases.
I'd get into my car with shallow pockets holding my phone in them, my pixel 2 xl would slip out straight onto concrete. The worst damage is probably some scratching on the corners of the case. Other than that, the phone came out perfect.
Another bonus I guess is that it's not overly bulky and keeps the slimness of the pixel 2 xl, which I like a lot about it.
I can't recommend it enough tbh.
This case has been great for 18 or so months. Spigen Rugged Armor Google Pixel 2 XL Case with Resilient Shock Absorption and Carbon Fiber Design for Google Pixel 2 XL (2017) - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07475TXJQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_y4CJYkySG5XTz
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.

YMMV - but the Neo Hybrid case is the only case I've ever had a phone in when it dropped and screen shattered. I would never use a Neo Hybrid again. The hard portions around the border actually make drop damage much harsher on the underlying phone.
I strongly recommend the Spigen Rugged Armor if you like the general look and feel of the Neo Hybrid. I've had my last 3 phones in Rugged Armor's and dropped plenty of times with zero damage.
Just my thoughts and experience.
At this point I think I've spent more money on screen protectors than I have on the phone itself. All the ones I've gotten either don't stick, don't fit my spidgen case or have just been downright junk. I don't like the overall thickness of it, nor that it doesn't have a tempered glass protector for the screen but I'll probably stick with my Unicorn Beetle case until it's time for a new phone.
My next phone won't have a beveled edge.

That's what I got and I really like it. Combined with a tempered glass screen protector I can't really see why I'd need more protection. This case keeps the camera and screen off of any surface the phone is sat on which is the primary reason I wanted a case.
I use this
I just remove old quad lock from old case and gorilla glue it onto a new one
I was going to get one of those until I noticed the top and bottom edge are exposed. Seems like a disadvantage but I'm not sure how much I'd notice it in real life. I ordered the Spigen Rugged Armor instead which is a one-piece flexible TPU case (haven't received it yet). It can't support the metal plate though. I guess I could always put it directly on the back of the phone if I need to.
Spigen Rugged Armor has been serving my 2XL well.
