The world of Pixel equipment grows yearly. Listed below are a number of different instances I’ve tried and appreciated, simply not as a lot as those above.
OtterBox Defender Sequence for $65: That is arguably probably the most protecting case for the Pixel 9 collection. It has a tough shell that splits into two items, wrapping round the back and front of the cellphone, and also you click on them in place. Then add the rubber slipcover excessive and the holster, which helps you to affix the cellphone to the belt. The holster’s clip may also double as a kickstand in a horizontal orientation. Even the USB-C charging port is roofed up. I feel the OtterBox Commuter I like to recommend above will get you almost there when it comes to sturdiness, however if you wish to maximize safety and like holsters, go for the Defender.
UAG Tempered Glass Display Protector for $35: This tempered glass display screen protector (additionally accessible for the Pixel 9 Professional XL) was very straightforward to put in. It comes with an applicator instrument in addition to a moist wipe, mud elimination sticker, and a microfiber material. I feel the Dbrand I like to recommend above is a greater worth since you get two within the field and it is cheaper, however UAG’s choice is a strong different.
Pela Liquid Display Protector for $60: I am cautiously optimistic about this one as a result of I have not had a lot expertise with liquid display screen protectors. Pela sends a bit vial with this liquid magic inside. First, clear your cellphone with a microfiber material. Then, pour a 3rd of the contents within the vial onto the fabric, and wipe the cellphone down. Wait two minutes, after which wipe away any extra. This liquid supposedly protects from scratches, drops, and even affect, and is oleophobic to scale back smudges. You may must reapply it each 12 months, so save the remaining that is within the vial. I will report again if I’ve any points. The great factor is Pela pays for any display screen repairs offered you have been utilizing a Pela case and this liquid display screen protector concurrently.
OtterBox Symmetry Sequence for $50: It is a completely positive case that is only a bit unremarkable. The buttons are straightforward to press, the cutouts are correct, and there is good safety from the raised edges. It is simply not distinctive in the way it seems and does not provide some other fascinating options.
UAG Pathfinder MagSafe Case for $55: This was a bizarre one. I like this case, even with its considerably rugged look. However the MagSafe didn’t work in any respect on the Professional XL case. I believe I acquired a dud, as a result of I examined the identical case for the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Professional, and magnetic wi-fi charging labored completely. Outdoors of this blip, this case provides clicky buttons and plenty of indents for a satisfying grip. The cutouts are correct, and the lips are raised decently on the show, although they may stand to be extra protecting of the digicam module.
Spigen Rugged Armor and Robust Armor for $16+: These instances are additionally accessible for the Pixel 9 Professional XL. The Rugged Armor has a pleasant textured again and edges, although these areas do have a tendency to draw smudges and marks. The perimeters are properly raised to guard the display screen and cameras, and the buttons are clicky. The Robust Armor, alternatively, is smoother and has a kickstand on the again. Annoyingly, this kickstand solely works for panorama orientation, so it isn’t the case to purchase should you watch loads of TikTok.
Thinborne Aramid Fiber Tremendous Skinny Case for $70: This case is not for drop safety as a result of it is extremely skinny. It is a good choice should you hate instances however need to shield your gadget from scratches. That mentioned, it is actually tough to take it off (except you’ve lengthy nails). It additionally smudges approach too simply, so I consistently discovered myself wiping it down. There is a MagSafe magnetic ring baked in, however it struggled to reliably adhere to different MagSafe equipment—the magnets simply aren’t robust sufficient. At the very least you do get a display screen protector within the field, although it is advisable to freehand the set up.
Casetify Impression Case With MagSafe for $58: Casetify has an limitless variety of designs you may select from, and whereas it has come below hearth for the way it acquires a few of these designs, there should not many locations you may go to get a Pixel 9 case with Spider-Man on the again or one which makes your cellphone appear like a movie digicam. These instances have MagSafe rings inside, so they need to work with most MagSafe equipment. I simply do not love how outstanding the Casetify brand is on the again.
