We first tested this protector for the Pixel 5A, and it held up well. Installation is easy, and it includes a squeegee to get rid of air bubbles. You get two screen protectors for the price (some only include one, check the product page), plus a microfiber cloth, a wipe, and dust-removal stickers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">This is another easy-to-apply tempered glass screen protector. They come with two, though I should note that there are black borders around the protector for the Pixel 8 series. You get a whole cleaning kit to wipe down your phone, an alignment tool that helps you get the application right, and a squeegee to get rid of air bubbles.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">This screen protector was really simple to apply and barely gave me any air bubbles. You only get one protector, but there&#8217;s an alcohol wipe to clean the screen beforehand, a microfiber cloth, an application tool, and a squeegee. The problem? It&#8217;s not tempered glass, but rather a mix of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a cheaper material that&#8217;s typically not as impact-resistant.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">You get only one screen protector here, and it&#8217;s <em>expensive<\/em>. Zagg claims that the protector is five times as strong as traditional screen protectors, and I haven&#8217;t seen many scuffs on the Pixels I&#8217;ve applied it on, but take this with a grain of salt. It&#8217;s straightforward to apply with the included application tool, but Zagg doesn&#8217;t include a squeegee, so you&#8217;ll have to use your fingers to push the air bubbles out. It comes with a dust sticker, a wet wipe, and a microfiber cloth. For the Pixel Fold, the screen protector is only for the external display.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">This is another pricey protector from Zagg that&#8217;s easy to apply. It&#8217;s noticeably thicker than any other screen protector in this guide, so if you&#8217;re frequently dropping your phone, it might be worth shelling out for this kind of screen protection. You get a wet wipe, microfiber, and dust-removal stickers, plus an application tool to easily put the protector in place.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-umhxW kGxnNB responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Google Pixel Wireless Charging Stand Gen 2\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eybHBd fptoWY responsive-image__image lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/622272cfab021a50b1fb7124\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/Gear-Google-Pixel-Stand-Gen-2-SOURCE-Google.jpg\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/622272cfab021a50b1fb7124\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/Gear-Google-Pixel-Stand-Gen-2-SOURCE-Google.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/622272cfab021a50b1fb7124\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/Gear-Google-Pixel-Stand-Gen-2-SOURCE-Google.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/622272cfab021a50b1fb7124\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/Gear-Google-Pixel-Stand-Gen-2-SOURCE-Google.jpg 320w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/622272cfab021a50b1fb7124\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/Gear-Google-Pixel-Stand-Gen-2-SOURCE-Google.jpg 640w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/622272cfab021a50b1fb7124\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/Gear-Google-Pixel-Stand-Gen-2-SOURCE-Google.jpg 960w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/622272cfab021a50b1fb7124\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/Gear-Google-Pixel-Stand-Gen-2-SOURCE-Google.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/622272cfab021a50b1fb7124\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/Gear-Google-Pixel-Stand-Gen-2-SOURCE-Google.jpg 1600w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\"\/><\/noscript><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"CaptionWrapper-jSZdqE kJoQGV caption AssetEmbedCaption-fNQBPI dDrfgT asset-embed__caption\"><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionText-bHjzlu iUEiRd cDlTYw iXWezO caption__text\"><\/p>\n<p>Google Pixel Stand (Gen 2)<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionCredit-ejegDm iUEiRd iggRJP fNaHcW caption__credit\">Photograph: Google<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Of the Pixels we recommend in this guide, wireless charging is available only on the Pixel Fold, Pixel 7A, Pixel 7 series, and Pixel 8 series (plus the Pixel 6 series).

The newest high-end Pixel phones don&#8217;t come with chargers in the box, so if you don&#8217;t have any spare USB-C chargers, it&#8217;s worth picking one up. This one&#8217;s prongs fold up, so it&#8217;s great for travel too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">These cases are pricey, but they have raised lips and offer decent protection around the edges. The buttons are clicky, and you can choose from a few design options for the rear, including walnut, leather, bamboo, silver pearl, and aramid fiber. (I love the walnut.) What makes this case special is that it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/android-magsafe-pixel-samsung-peak-design-everyday-case\/\">supports MagSafe<\/a>\u2014yes, Apple&#8217;s magnetic system for accessories.

The buttons are a tiny bit hard to press but not terribly so. There&#8217;s a slight bump for the camera module, and the edges are slightly raised around the screen.

What&#8217;s not to love? Well, it&#8217;s a bit dull, squashing the unique design of the Pixel, but I still think this case is one of the more attractive in Spigen&#8217;s lineup. The edges aren&#8217;t raised drastically, so don&#8217;t expect much screen protection.

This Spigen case has a built-in stand that does the trick, though it unfortunately only works in landscape mode\u2014not great for hands-free TikTok. Its thick bumper offers nice protection around the edges, though there&#8217;s not much of a lip sticking out, so you&#8217;ll still want to pair it with a screen protector.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">I have used Pixel Fold cases from <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.otterbox.com\/en-us\/pixel-fold\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/DX7bjAvRTFh3URdfno92S9KfqRn6tNacSs8SHGA1Bju8GxwYouFMoJNqzPocLawep5wS9hpSVNp4FCh9kNQD3xfzYaPv532wedzqryf5pnHh5enqPZbyCJNRzZ5UwB9kf4nCxD5EU8ovEH&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/DX7bjAvRTFh3URdfno92S9KfqRn6tNacSs8SHGA1Bju8GxwYouFMoJNqzPocLawep5wS9hpSVNp4FCh9kNQD3xfzYaPv532wedzqryf5pnHh5enqPZbyCJNRzZ5UwB9kf4nCxD5EU8ovEH\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">OtterBox<\/a> and <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/speckproducts.com\/products\/presidio-perfect-clear-fold-google-pixel-fold-cases\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/2NJLiQHiePnjC3QDzcXih71EUFZuVYfbeNpEUAYoDHfv9ciddVvizGSU4Z6WBmuyzNTxLEmr9YBGJG7RH3dfGF2dDhuDeTjcv1M5xQS6p9D7BFdQioUbaqHffD9britt979i9UbBvCZx2V3GTdheEzr7SixtySXMcEKW2RPBxhszzDmLw61VUopmobf4WRTZtVMrii8R1hNu&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/cna.st\/affiliate-link\/2NJLiQHiePnjC3QDzcXih71EUFZuVYfbeNpEUAYoDHfv9ciddVvizGSU4Z6WBmuyzNTxLEmr9YBGJG7RH3dfGF2dDhuDeTjcv1M5xQS6p9D7BFdQioUbaqHffD9britt979i9UbBvCZx2V3GTdheEzr7SixtySXMcEKW2RPBxhszzDmLw61VUopmobf4WRTZtVMrii8R1hNu\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Speck<\/a>, but the one I keep coming back to is the official case from Google.

It comes in two pieces\u2014one for the front screen and one for the rear. Make sure you remove all the plastic wrap from the inside before you affix it. It&#8217;s expensive, but the edges are quite thick. You won&#8217;t find as many design options to choose from anywhere else.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Casetify is where you&#8217;ll want to go if you want your Pixel phone to stand out even more. There are zillions of designs to choose from, and the Impact cases have rigid bumpers, grippy sides, and responsive buttons. The edges around the screen are decently raised too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">I only tested the Grip case with the Pixel 7 Pro, but it had clicky buttons and incredibly grippy edges (hence the name). Really, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve ever felt a grippier case. It feels robust yet fairly slim. You can choose a snazzy design, but you&#8217;ll have to apply this \u201cskin\u201d yourself on the back of the case. There&#8217;s a lot of room for error here so be careful, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ewxMzl7o-p0\">watch Dbrand&#8217;s installation video for tips<\/a>. The Pixel 8 series version of this case adds <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/android-magsafe-pixel-samsung-peak-design-everyday-case\/\">MagSafe support<\/a>, so you can use your Pixel with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/gallery\/best-magsafe-accessories\/\">MagSafe accessories<\/a>, but I have not tested it yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">The Denali case for the Pixel 8 series has graphene embedded inside, which Zagg claims improves durability. I found graphene to do a better job of spreading heat during demanding tasks, so if you&#8217;re frequently pushing your Pixel to the limit, then this might be a good case to try, even if it is a bit boring in the design department. For the older Denali case models, Zagg says the D30 material \u201chardens on impact\u201d for better drop protection. The camera bar has raised edges all around it, and the buttons are clicky, but edge protection is a little lackluster on the front.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-umhxW kGxnNB responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"OtterBox Defender Series Case on the Google Pixel 7\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eybHBd fptoWY responsive-image__image lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/64f238bbf448350e82119af4\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/OtterBox-Google-Pixel-7-Defender-Series-Case-Gear.jpg\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/64f238bbf448350e82119af4\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/OtterBox-Google-Pixel-7-Defender-Series-Case-Gear.jpg 120w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/64f238bbf448350e82119af4\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/OtterBox-Google-Pixel-7-Defender-Series-Case-Gear.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/64f238bbf448350e82119af4\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/OtterBox-Google-Pixel-7-Defender-Series-Case-Gear.jpg 320w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/64f238bbf448350e82119af4\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/OtterBox-Google-Pixel-7-Defender-Series-Case-Gear.jpg 640w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/64f238bbf448350e82119af4\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/OtterBox-Google-Pixel-7-Defender-Series-Case-Gear.jpg 960w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/64f238bbf448350e82119af4\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/OtterBox-Google-Pixel-7-Defender-Series-Case-Gear.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/64f238bbf448350e82119af4\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/OtterBox-Google-Pixel-7-Defender-Series-Case-Gear.jpg 1600w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\"\/><\/noscript><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"CaptionWrapper-jSZdqE kJoQGV caption AssetEmbedCaption-fNQBPI dDrfgT asset-embed__caption\"><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionText-bHjzlu iUEiRd cDlTYw iXWezO caption__text\"><\/p>\n<p>OtterBox Defender Pro<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionCredit-ejegDm iUEiRd iggRJP fNaHcW caption__credit\">Photograph: Amazon<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall\">It takes some effort to install this case on the Pixel, but once you do, it&#8217;s arguably the most protection you&#8217;ll find. There&#8217;s an inner two-piece polycarbonate shell that snaps over and under the Pixel, and then a thick synthetic rubber slipcover goes over for extreme durability. The buttons are surprisingly clicky, though the whole phone will be thicker, wider, and heavier. It&#8217;s made of more than 50 percent recycled plastic, and there&#8217;s a holster you can pop it in to carry your Pixel with pride on your belt. (The holster can double as a kickstand.)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">This is another nice clear case for the Pixel series. I like the textured power button, which makes it easy to find when you&#8217;re not looking, and there are spots on the case to attach a lanyard (not included). It&#8217;s not as smudge-resistant as Ringke claims, but it&#8217;s easy to clean.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">I like the soft-touch material on this case, and it fits the Pixel really well, with accurate cutouts and clicky buttons. It&#8217;s a bit dull, but it&#8217;s slim and the edges are raised a decent amount to protect the screen. It&#8217;s just a little pricey for what you get. \u00a0<\/p>\n<hr class=\"paywall\"\/>\n<div style=\"outline:none\" id=\"tricks\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<p>Our Favorite Pixel Software Features<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed\">\n<div class=\"AssetEmbedAssetContainer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-container\"><span class=\"SpanWrapper-umhxW kGxnNB responsive-asset AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset\"><picture class=\"ResponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa AssetEmbedResponsiveAsset-cXBNxi eCxVQK asset-embed__responsive-asset responsive-image\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Google Pixel 6\" class=\"ResponsiveImageContainer-eybHBd fptoWY responsive-image__image lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/616e0bf6ebb034bbe8bec6a7\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/Wait%2520Times.gif\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/616e0bf6ebb034bbe8bec6a7\/master\/w_120,c_limit\/Wait%20Times.gif 120w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/616e0bf6ebb034bbe8bec6a7\/master\/w_240,c_limit\/Wait%20Times.gif 240w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/616e0bf6ebb034bbe8bec6a7\/master\/w_320,c_limit\/Wait%20Times.gif 320w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/616e0bf6ebb034bbe8bec6a7\/master\/w_640,c_limit\/Wait%20Times.gif 640w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/616e0bf6ebb034bbe8bec6a7\/master\/w_960,c_limit\/Wait%20Times.gif 960w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/616e0bf6ebb034bbe8bec6a7\/master\/w_1280,c_limit\/Wait%20Times.gif 1280w, https:\/\/media.wired.com\/photos\/616e0bf6ebb034bbe8bec6a7\/master\/w_1600,c_limit\/Wait%20Times.gif 1600w\" data-sizes=\"100vw\"\/><\/noscript><\/picture><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"CaptionWrapper-jSZdqE kJoQGV caption AssetEmbedCaption-fNQBPI dDrfgT asset-embed__caption\"><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionText-bHjzlu iUEiRd cDlTYw iXWezO caption__text\"><\/p>\n<p>Wait Times.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"BaseWrap-sc-gjQpdd BaseText-ewhhUZ CaptionCredit-ejegDm iUEiRd iggRJP fNaHcW caption__credit\">Video: Google<\/span><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paywall\">There are some key features on Pixels that you won&#8217;t find on any other Android phone.
