If you don’t own a Pixel phone, but are looking for other Android case options, take a look at our list of the best Android cases. Otherwise, read on to see the best Google Pixel cases to get. Made from dual-layer TPU and polycarbonate, the Parallax cases protect from everyday scratches and scuffs, as well as cushioning against drops and impacts. The distinctive raised geometric design makes the case easier to grip, as well as giving better shock absorption. Despite the solid protection they offer, the cases remain surprisingly slim and fit easily in a pocket. While the screen remains exposed, the case’s raised lip helps protect the glass from falls and rough surfaces. Reasonably-priced and available in a range of colors, the Caseology Parallax range is easy to recommend for any Pixel owner. The magnetic clasp opens easily when you need it to, but is strong enough to keep the flap closed the rest of the time. The soft inner lining prevents marks and scratches, while the tough leather exterior helps protect the phone from knocks and bad weather. There’s plenty of room inside the holster, so it can still be used even if you normally keep your phone in a different slim to medium-sized case. Available for all sizes and models of Pixel, these slimline cases are made from flexible matte TPU, with textured, glossy carbon-fiber accents on the back. The raised edges help protect the screen and cameras, with extra air cushioning in the corners where damage is likely to occur. The material is flexible enough to allow for easy removal of the phone when needed and ensures Active Edge still works on Pixel 2 models. The Rugged Armor cases are only available in black, but that’s about the only limitation of this well-made, inexpensive approach to protecting your Pixel. Otterbox is one of the most trusted names in rugged phone cases and backs the Defender with a lifetime warranty. The high-impact polycarbonate shell takes the brunt of any impacts, while the rubber slipcover adds extra protection and makes the case easier to grip. Finally, the built-in screen protector (only on the cases for the original Pixel) protects against those inevitable nicks and scratches that show up after a while. Port covers help to keep out dust, lint and other foreign objects, and there’s even an included belt clip that be attached when needed and used as a kickstand when watching videos. Spigen’s Liquid Crystal cases offer the best of both worlds, made from flexible, lightweight TPU that you can see straight through. The slimline, transparent design makes it easy to forget you’ve even got a case on the phone at all, but there’s enough material to protect against scratches and light impact damage. The slightly-raised lip lets you put your phone down without worrying about scratching the screen. Available for all Pixel models, it’s the perfect way to protect your fancy device while still letting you show it off to friends and family. The sleek, minimalist design protects the corners, sides and back of the phone while leaving buttons and ports open for easy access. There’s also a thin lip at the front, to keep the screen off the table when you set the phone face down. The TPU material is soft yet durable, with enough grip that the phone won’t easily slide out of your hand. At 0.6 ounces and 0.4 inches thick, it’s about as thin and light as you’ll find in a phone case, while still offering enough protection to give a little peace of mind. The combination of the two layers gives it an extra degree of protection against drops, shock, dust, and vibrations compared to other Pixel phone cases. Incipio also claims that it’s suitable for outdoor use, which is a nice feature compared to other rugged cases because it still doesn’t add too much bulk.
