The Google Pixel is a great phone so good in fact that we gave it four and a half stars in our review.
It will continue to be a smart option, as it supports Android P.
As a Google handset its also got a big name behind it, and like any big-name smartphone theres a wide range of cases available for the Pixel.These range from the sleek and minimalist, to the strong and bulky, to multi-purpose cases, arty covers and more, so theres sure to be one that fits your needs and tastes.Below, youll find several recommendations that cover a wide range of budgets and style preferences.
While some of these options are untested, they are each a cut above the rest due to their value and design, and are backed by positive consumer feedback.Note: we've ranked these from cheapest to most expensive according to prices at time of writing.Spigen Liquid Crystal CaseColors: Crystal Clear | Material: TPUShows off your phoneCheapMinimal protectionMade of plasticThe Spigen Liquid Crystal case has a lot going for it, starting with the fact that its very cheap, which is handy for anyone whos already stretched their budget buying the Pixel.But despite its low price the Liquid Crystal is well-designed, with a slim and light form-fitting build, that maintains the shape of your handset, and being transparent it also maintains the Pixels looks, so if youre a fan of the phones unusual metal and glass design you wont have to hide it away.Its not the most protective case around, but its easy to put on, resists smudges and should keep your Pixel safe from minor scrapes and falls.Spigen Rugged Armor CaseSerious protection at minimal costColors: Black | Material: TPUDurableCarbon fiber accentsOnly comes in blackChunkyAnother Spigen case, but this one has a little bit more going on.
You lose the slim transparent design of the Liquid Crystal case, but in its place you get a case which has passed military grade drop tests (which apparently means being dropped 26 times from a height of 48 inches and surviving).The Spigen Rugged Armor achieves this thanks to a spider web pattern and air cushioned corners on the inside of a TPU shell.The case isnt much to look at, but textured carbon fiber accents mean its more than just a nondescript black block.Caseology Parallax caseStylish protection that doesn't add too much bulkColors: Black, Burgundy, Navy Blue | Material: TPU and PCLots of protection from every angleStylish for a low priceMay be too bulky for someCases that offer lots of protection are usually bulky as all get out, but Caseology has basically mastered the art of doing the exact opposite.
This dual-layer case protects the Google Pixel at every angle, even lifting the screen off a tablet to avoid micro scratches, and it looks good to boot.This case's price has fallen since it debuted, meaning that it's now very affordable to pick up one of Caseology's Parallax cases in the color of your choice on the cheap.Credit: VRS Design / AmazonVRS Design High Pro ShieldA protective case for mobile media fansColors: Dark Silver, Really Blue, Satin Silver | Material: Polycarbonate and TPULots of protectionKickstandNot slimMade of plasticThe VRS Design High Pro Shield isnt the slimmest case around, but its thinner than you might expect given the level of protection it provides.The case is certified as offering military grade protection, so you can feel confident that your Pixel is safe, and while made of plastic the High Pro Shield sports a brushed metal effect that helps it stand out from the crowd.Speaking of metal, theres also a metal kickstand built in, so you can prop your phone up when watching movies.Credit: Tetded / AmazonTetded Cowhide Leather CaseReal leather with a slim designColors: Black | Material: LeatherGenuine leatherSlimNo card slotsOnly comes in blackIf only real leather will do, then check out the Tetded Cowhide Leather case.
Its one of very few genuine leather Pixel cases at time of writing, and predictably you do pay a premium for it.But the case undeniably looks good, with a slim profile that avoids adding too much bulk, and a microfiber lining to keep your screen protected when the case is closed.Pixel Phone Case by GoogleA colorful case that fits like a gloveColors: Gray, Blue, Green, Peach, Coral | Material: Silicone, polycarbonate and microfiberLots of color choicesGood fitLooks cheapFairly priceyIf you want a case thats guaranteed to be a good fit, then look no further than the Pixel Phone Case.
This is created by the same team as the Pixel itself, so it fits like a glove.It also comes in a range of colors to suit almost any style and provides three layers of protection, with a silicone exterior for shock absorption and grip, a polycarbonate core for support and a soft microfiber interior.Incipio Carnaby CaseAn unusual case that's comfortable to holdColors: Black, Gray, Olive | Material: TPU, polymer and cottonInteresting designSoft feelExpensiveMostly plasticMaking a case stand out, without making it look weird, can be a tricky job, but wed say the Incipio Carnaby succeeds, as on top of the fairly standard plastic shell theres a layer of cotton, which looks different (in a good way) and makes the case soft to the touch.Available in three distinct shades, the Carnaby is also strong and shock absorbent, so as well as looking good it does the vital job of keeping your Pixel safe.OtterBox CommuterA strong case that protects from damage and dustColors: Black, Pink | Material: Polycarbonate and rubberDrop protectionKeeps dirt and dust outBulkyPriceyOtterBox is a big name in cases and for good reason, with its Commuter case providing serious levels of protection.An inner rubber cover and outer polycarbonate shell provide two layers of protection, deflecting shocks away from your phone, while port covers keep dirt and dust out.All of which sounds great on paper, but OtterBox has extensively trialled the case, over more than 238 hours and 24 tests, so you can be sure it lives up to the billing.Artworks Live CaseTurns your phone into a work of artColors: Various | Material: PolycarbonateCustomizableUnusualMiddling protectionQuite expensiveMost cases are quite plain, but the Artworks Live Case isnt most cases.
As an official Google case you can be confident that its well-built, but the real selling point is the ability to apply an artwork to it, for a truly eye-catching cover.Theres a fairly wide range of images available to choose from, and you can position your artwork of choice however you want on the case, for a unique, custom finish.Photos Live CaseA case with unlimited optionsColors: Various | Material: PolycarbonateCan make it your ownSlim fitNot the most protective caseCould look tackyIf you want even more creative freedom than Googles Artwork cases offer, then check out the Photos Live Case.
This is a similar idea, except you can upload one of your own photos as an image for the case, meaning the possibilities are endless and your Pixel can truly reflect you.Or if youre lacking inspiration you could look at the Places Live Case, which lets you select a location from Google Maps, then pick from a range of styles and colors to print it in.4FgXZ9UNir8mTjpaMkW3Vf.jpg#
