They come in various finishes, from plain solid pastel shades to carbon fiber and even a rough-looking "Dragon" skin, as well as textures that emulate natural materials like wood and stone. I will always recommend the Pixel fabric cases first and foremost for a Pixel phone; They're just great. A self-professed TV nerd, lover of red wine, and passionate home cook, she's immersed in tech in every facet of her life. It's almost offensively chunky, with a built-in kickstand, a retaining ring with a plastic screen protector, and it clips right into a plastic holster — included with the case. The Pixel 4a 5G already has decent battery life on its own, but if you're a power user, chances are you're still going to want a little extra oomph to keep it alive for longer use.

It offers military-grade protection, and features raised lips that protect the camera array and screen from scratches. It features a dual-layer design that combines an inner TPU skin with durable aluminum, while also throwing in shock-absorbent corners for good measure.Finished in basic matte black, you'll get ultra-rugged protection from this case that includes shock absorption and 'Air Cushion' technology, making it the perfect option if you're clumsy or will be taking the phone out and about in the field. Google is putting more emphasis on sustainability, and that’s reflecting in the companies it partners with to provide accessories.

The foldable leather flap also doubles as a kickstand – metal plates are already in the flap so you don't need additional plates or adhesives. If you’re looking for a no-nonsense case that is thin and light, the Spigen Liquid Air is the case for you.But really, he is just some verbose dude who digs on tech, loves Android, and hates anticompetitive practices. The hybrid technology in this case includes a TPU bumper with a durable PC back and raised bezel so the screen and camera don't touch flat surfaces when you place the phone down. For a phone case that looks great and goes toward a good cause, the LifeProof Wake is definitely a case to check out.

It comprises a dual-layer mix of high-grade PC and flexible TPU, which together help to disperse impacts away from the phone’s actual body. It has a cross-hatch pattern on the back that gives it a little texture so it doesn’t slip out of your hand. The soft, flexible material is compostable and easy to put on and take off if you want to change things up. Not only do you get two layers of protection with this case that still manages to maintain a slim profile, but it also comes in a wide range of awesome colors such as Slate and Forest Green, though we're partial to the lovely Navy hue.

If you are looking to keep your phone close to the device’s original size, consider Anccer’s Colorful cases. Of course, our cases won’t impede any of your phone’s best features, either — including wireless charging or access to 5G. The case can also be used as a stand for the Pixel, while the front cover means that the phone’s screen will be protected. These cases are uniquely designed to help keep your Pixel in pristine condition as you go about your day-to-day life.

The Symmetry is another hybrid case with a polycarbonate back panel locked in place with a TPU bumper. Then there's Simicoo's Vintage Wallet, which is a folio style case that will securely hold not only your smartphone, but also credit/ID cards and a few bills. To flaunt your personal style, the fun color options of the Crave Strong Guard Protection Series Case might be appealing, especially since the case itself also offers shock- and scratch-resistant protection. The next iteration of the Pixel A series is right around the corner, but unless you’re willing to spend the money to upgrade, that Pixel 4a 5G in your hand is more than good enough to last another year or more. While Verizon may have been starting from behind, it’s been aggressively deploying the faster 5G spectrum that gave it a nice leap in 5G performance last year.It’s only a single layer of TPU, yet it has been drop-tested to provide a high level of protection and scratch resistance, so you can rest assured that it will keep your Pixel safe. The next Spigen Pixel 4a case is by far the company’s bulkiest, but it’s a great bet if you want maximum protection. Being machine washable is also great since people are becoming more aware of how dirty their devices really get. The cases look like denim, and they are machine washable, which helps with the long-standing problem of cases becoming dirty over time.
