The next generation of Google Pixel is here with the Google Pixel 9. Not only did Google give us a fantastic Barbie pink color for the Pixel 9 (along with green, black, and white) but it also gave us more power with the Tensor G4, 12GB RAM, and a dual camera system with a 50-megapixel main lens and a 48MP ultrawide camera. It even has a new design with flat edges and a revamped camera bar that looks much more modern.
But as with any new electronic device, you’re going to want to make sure to keep it protected from everyday wear and tear. Here are some of the best cases for your Google Pixel 9 right now.

Best OtterBox case for Google Pixel 9
OtterBox Commuter Series Case
- Exceeds 3x military drop standards
- Dual-layer protection
- Rubber grip edges
- Only two colors available
OtterBox is the go-to case brand for people who want the best protection for their Google Pixel 9, especially if they pick a case from the Commuter series. It's as slim as the phone it's designed for, giving it a highly snug fit all around. Not to mention a snug fit in your pocket.
The dual layers make the contour fit even worth it, as it provides triple the drop protection set by military standards and a rubber grip at the edges for easy holding. Not bad for a case that only comes in black and purple.
Best textured case for Google Pixel 9
Google Pixel 9 Presidio 2 Grip
- Non-slip textured grips
- 13-foot drop protection
- Very slim
- Moderately expensive
The Presidio 2 Grip case gives your Google Pixel 9 a nice texture and great drop protection, courtesy of Speck. It's packed with Armor Cloud technology that cushions the impact of your phone's fall like an airbag if it falls out of your hand or your pocket, protecting it from drops of up to 13 feet.
To give your phone even more protection, this case is laced with an antimicrobial treatment to prevent the growth of bacteria from sweat and other germs from your hands. This makes scrolling in the bathroom a bit easier — but we don't recommend doing that.
Best heavy duty case for Google Pixel 9
URBAN ARMOR GEAR Pathfinder Case
- Hard outer shell
- 18-foot drop protection
- Allows lanyards
- Too costly
- Not a lot of color variety
The Pathfinder case from URBAN ARMOR GEAR is as tough as an army tank when it comes to protecting your Google Pixel 9. It shields your phone from 18-foot drops and shocks thanks to the shock absorption facilitated by the hex pattern on the inside of the case as well as the outside, and the tough TPU on the corners of the black rim.
This case allows you to attach a lanyard so you can wear it around your neck for tighter safety and security. Army-level safety and security.
Best minimalist case for Google Pixel 9
Ghostek Covert Case
- Shockproof R2x corners
- 8-foot drop protection
- Resistant to yellowing
- Affordable
- Could use more color patterns
The Ghostek Covert case works best for those who want a minimalist aesthetic for their Google Pixel 9 while giving it the best protection it has to offer. All four red corners are coated with R2x shocking absorbing protection from drops of up to 8 feet, and you can barely notice them, hence the Covert name. The anti-yellowing silicone helps the case live up to its name even more, keeping it clear for a long time.
The glass on the back of the case is also scratch-resistant, so it's protected from not only bumps and scratches from everyday objects but also from the hard taps of long fingernails, whether they're real or fake. Be careful not to tap the camera lens.
Best waterproof case for Google Pixel 9
SPIDERCASE for Google Pixel 9 Waterproof Case
- Accompanied by built-in screen protector
- Cutouts maintain original sound quality
- Waterproof up to 10 feet
- Underwater usage limited to one hour
This waterproof case from SPIDERCASE offers double the protection for Google Pixel 9 users who participate in water sports or work by the oceanfront. Carrying a water-resistance rating of IP68, it comes with a built-in screen protector to prevent water from seeping into your phone through the screen, and it's waterproof up to 10 feet deep. Although, we strongly advise you not to submerge your phone deeper than that if you go scuba diving — or rather, don't submerge it underwater at all.
If you're listening to music on a yacht or a fishing boat, the cutouts on the bottom of the case keep the sound quality crystal clear without muffling the speakers. Try not to set your phone down on the edge of the boat.
Best wallet case for Google Pixel 9
TORRO Leather Case
- Durable built-in frame
- Made with premium cowhide leather
- Protects phone screen from scratches
- Doubles as a stand
- Wireless charging compatible
- May help phone sap magnetism of credit cards
TORRO brings you a leather phone case that pulls double duty with acting as a secondary wallet and a stand for your Google Pixel 9. It's made out of premium cowhide leather, protecting your phone from any and all scratches so long as it is closed. It has a built-in TPU frame that holds your phone in place so that it doesn't slip out of the case when it's closed and sitting in your purse.
The only disadvantage is it may suck the magnetism of your credit cards because they're pressed against the phone screen. Unless your cards are installed in Google Pay or another digital wallet, use this case at your own risk.
Best eco-conscious case for Google Pixel 9
Tech21 EvoClear Case
- UV resistant to prevent yellowing
- Scratch resistant
- Environmentally friendly
- Too expensive for how transparent it is
The EvoClear case from Tech21 does an excellent job showing off the color of your phone while protecting it from the elements and being environmentally friendly. It's coated with UV-resistant materials to keep the case from sun damage and discolorationg for as long as you have the Google Pixel 9. Once you're switch to another phone and you can't use the case anymore, you can dispose of it without polluting the environment.
It costs $45 on Amazon, which is a little more expensive than most clear phone cases on the market. But if you're eco-conscious, this phone case may be worth your while.
Best stand case for Google Pixel 9
TORRAS 360°Spin Case
- Stand spins 360 degrees for added stability
- 12-foot drop protection
- Slim profile
- Only available in black and gray
As the name suggests, TORRAS' 360°Spin Case allows your MagSafe ring stand to do something no other MagSafe ring stand has done before: spin 360 degrees to add extra stability to the Google Pixel 9. The ring can stand on its tip or on its thin side whether you set your phone in portrait mode or landscape mode, and it'll still give it excellent balance.
The ring has passed 18,000 spin tests, so it can endure spins from people who play with it as a fidget toy, provided they're not too rough with it.
Best clear case for Google Pixel 9
JETech Clear Case
- Simple, sleek design
- Shows off phone color
- Easy installation
- Very affordable
- Very basic
If you got the brand new pink or green Google Pixel 9, you might want to show off that gorgeous color. This clear case from JETech will do exactly that.
JETech's clear case has a simple and sleek design that won't add any bulk to your device. It's made with a flexible TPU material that is easy to get on and take off when needed. JETech also claims that the material is anti-scratch and won't yellow, so it should remain crystal clear as you use it. Despite the slim profile, it has great drop protection, and the raised bezels arond the display and camera will give you more peace of mind.
Though we are showing off the clear version, JETech also has a simple black version if that's what you prefer. The case is also very affordable.
Best colorful case for Google Pixel 9
Caseology Nano Pop
- Two-tone colors
- Four-foot drop protection
- Lifted edge protects camera and screen from scratches
- Textured sides provide excellent grip
- Extremely limited color choices
Caseology is known for making cases that add a pop of color to your phone, and its Nano Pop case is no exception. Available in Burgundy Bean, Black Sesame, Blueberry Navy, and Papaya Gray, this case has a darker color for the base and a lighter color for the camera ring and interior back padding — giving you two colors for the price of one.
The edge of the Nano Pop case is lifted on the camera and screen sides to further protect both features from scratches whether you're sliding your Google Pixel 9 in your pocket, your packed purse, or sliding it across the table to it pass along to someone so they can see your vacation photos. The lifted edge also gives your phone extra protection from drops of up to four feet high.
Best MagSafe case for Google Pixel 9
TAURI for Google Pixel 9 Case
- Stronger magnetism
- Has anti-yellowing coating
- Military grade 10-foot drop protection
- Needs more color choices
The Google Pixel 9 has joined the clear MagSafe case party along the iPhone with TAURI. The built-in N52 Halbach magnets make the magnetic portion of the case so strong your phone won't fall off when you're dangling it from the MagSafe wireless charger. Even if does fall off, it's protected from drops of up to 10 feet and has four corner airbags to absorb impact.
The case is crystal clear thanks to the anti-yellowing coating from Germany Bayer's ultra-clear TPU material, which also protects it from sweat and stains, making it last a very long time. The green case goes especially well with the pink Google Pixel 9, so it can look like Mitsuri Kanroji's hair in Demon Slayer.
Best slim case for Google Pixel 9
Spigen Liquid Air
- Cushions falls via Air Cushion Technology
- Highly flexible for easy application
- Slim fit
- Matte textured design for non-slip grip
- Only dull colors available
If you want your case to be rough around the edges in both style and protection, then Spigen Liquid Air is the case for you. On the outside, it has a tough exterior with a polygonal matte-textured design on the back with lines on the sides to ensure you get a good grip on your phone. The inside of the case has Air Cushion Technology on every corner that protects your phone not only from drops but also other bumps and scuffs from moving around in your pocket or bag.
The case is only available in Matte Black, Marble Gray, and Abyss Green, which is very limiting depending on your aesthetic. But nonetheless, ensuring your Google Pixel 9 is protected is more important than its appearance.
Best nonslip case for Google Pixel 9
Ringke Onyx Case
- Raised cutouts protect the camera lenses
- Anti-fingerprint material
- Has built-in lanyard holes
- Buttons provide little tactile feedback
The Ringke Onyx is one of the most understated cases for the Pixel 9. Not only does it resist fingerprints and smudges but it's made of a porous material that makes it easier to maintain your grip on the case. Because of the raised cutout area around the camera lens, this case offers incredible protection against drops and scrapes.
It's available in a variety of colors, too. If you need a case that looks professional but isn't boring, the Ringke is a solid choice.
Best clear case for Pixel 9
Mous Pixel 9 Case
- Scratch-resistant glass
- Works with MagSafe
- Anti-yellowing
- Expensive
Mous is one of the gold standards for phone cases. It protects against drops with scratch-resistant glass that shows off the build of your phone without sacrificing functionality. Built-in magnets on the back make it easy to use wireless charging setups, and you never have to worry about the case yellowing.
The downside, of course, is the price. At $75, it's a pretty penny for this case — but it also comes with a lifetime warranty.
Best ultralight case for Google Pixel 9
Bastmei Pixel 9 Case
- Easily fits in your pocket without adding bulk
- Raised cutout for the camera
- Comfortable to hold for long periods
- Case doesn't fully cover the sides
When engineers put so much time into developing a thin phone, the last thing you want to do is offset that progress with a bulky case. The Bastmei Pixel 9 case is slender and well-designed to protect your phone without making it uncomfortable to carry with you. It's also incredibly budget-friendly.
The primary downside is that parts of the sides and bottom of the phone is exposed, and the camera doesn't have a cover over it — just a raised lip. It opens the phone up to damage if it lands on any of those spots.
