The Google Pixel phone features an interesting, aluminum design with a 5-inch display and a glass section on the back. With snappy performance, a great camera, and Google Assistant onboard, there are plenty of reasons to buy one. But these impressive specs also carry a premium price tag, which makes opting for a proper case all the more important. Those curved edges could chip or scuff if you drop your new Pixel, and even toughened glass can scratch and crack easily. Fortunately for you, we’ve rounded up 18 of the best Google Pixel cases, many of which are as stylish as they are durable.
1. Spigen Rugged Armor Case - Price : $15
Features:
If you're looking to protect your Google Pixel but don't want to make it super big and bulky, Spigen's Rugged Armor is a solid pick for you. The case combines Military Grade protection with Air Cushion Technology for all of its corners, and the TPU material is flexible but protective. Being fingerprint-resistant, the case will not only protect your phone but keep it looking clean and great. The front has a small lip to it, so if you place the phone face down the screen won't touch the surface to prevent scratches. At only $13, you can't go wrong with this slim case that offers great protection.

2. Speck GRIP Case - Price : $21
Features:
Speck is another highly trusted brand that is often sold in carrier retail stores. Speck was a launch partner with Google on the Nexus 5X and for the Pixel, they have multiple choices. Speck's (military grade) Presidio Grip case is drop-tested and approved for 10 feet drops. It's available in blue or black starting at $39.95 and then there's a clear case as well. The sides and the back of each case have a soft rubber that squeezes out some slots in the plastic for added grip. The Pixel is a slippery phone. If so, these cases will be the perfect alternative while offering plenty of protection.

3. OtterBox Defender Series Case - Price : $31.25
Features:
Otterbox is a company that is well-known for its protective offerings, but many are turned away by how bulky that can make your Pixel. The Commuter series is a great balance of protection and bulk, all while looking pretty great. Thanks to its inner synthetic rubber slipcover and the polycarbonate outer shell, you'll have awesome protection in the event of a drop or fall. The case allows for easy access to the ports and fingerprint sensor, and the buttons are raised so you can easily find them. Coming in at just $21 (regularly $40 MSRP), it is more expensive than many of the other options, but worth every penny for the protection it provides.

4. LifeProof Fre WaterProof Case - Price : $90
Features:
There aren’t too many options for people seeking a really rugged Pixel case that can stand up to the elements, so the Lifeproof Fre stands out. Stick your Pixel in this case, and it can survive submersion in up to 2 meters of water for up to an hour. It also offers solid drop protection from 2 meters (6.6 feet). This case covers your Pixel from every angle, so nothing is getting in to damage it, but that does also mean you have to tangle with port covers and it definitely adds some bulk.

5. YOUMAKER Full Body Rugged Case - Price : $15
Features:
Youmaker has another case to consider if you’re looking for something with a similar design to the OtterBox Defender, but for a cheaper price. Like the Defender, it also has a built-in screen protector to cover your display, as well as a belt holster for the phone to attach to when you’re on the move. It has covers for the buttons and ports, scratch-resistant edges around the camera, and a raised lip to keep the front of the phone away from surfaces if and when it ends up face down. For those that use the fingerprint scanner a lot, the case has a finger shaped indent on the back that should make it easy to line up your finger and unlock your phone.

Incipio’s Carnaby case is a hard shell covered in soft cotton that comes in black, gray, or olive. There are large cut-outs for free access to ports, camera, and the fingerprint sensor on the back. The chunky button covers are easy to find without looking and made from flexible and durable TPU. The cotton exterior makes your Pixel really comfortable to hold.

It’s also completely clear, and almost entirely devoid of details, save for a small Speck star logo at the top right.

9. Incipio Octane Shock Absorbing Case - Price : $24.99
Features:
The Incipio Octane is another really great case for the Google Pixel. It is built with polycarbonate on the outside to provide protection to the phone, while featuring a TPU bumper on all sides of the in case, for added drop protection, as well as better grip.

10. LK Ultra Slim Clear View Case - Price : $8
Features:
Here’s a basic, clear TPU case that might serve until you can find something better. It’s fairly thin, it adds some grip, and it has accurate openings for the camera, fingerprint sensor, and ports. There are slim button covers and a raised edge to provide some protection around the screen. Don’t expect solid drop protection, but it will fend off scratches and absorb the impact of minor bumps. It’s also pretty plain, save for an unfortunate LK logo on the back.
