The best Google Pixel 9 Pro cases for 2024

Google recently unveiled the new Google Pixel 9 series, which features a solid design shift, better cameras, and broader range than ever before. The Google Pixel 9 Pro specifically offers compactness, versatile camera performance with three shooters, and a host of AI features to back the hardware. The goodness comes with a not-so-sweet price, and you must be ready to shell at least $1,000 to own the Pixel 9 Pro.
For that price and the keeping glass construction in mind, it would be wise to wrap it up in a case that protects it from drops of all intensity. Here, we list some of the best Pixel 9 Pro cases to ensure your new phone stays safe against all odds.

Mous Clear Bumper Case

The best bumper case for the Pixel 9 Pro

This case protects your Pixel 9 Pro from falls without hiding away its beauty. The frosted clear back is paired to a gray bumper, allowing you to admire the phone’s original colors while keeping it safe. Mous claims the back comes with a special coating to prevent it from yellowing or even getting scratched. The cushioned edges absorb impacts during falls, while the raised edges will protect the glass over the display and the camera. The MagSafe connector lets you attach a host of compatible wireless chargers and accessories in a jiffy.

Spigen Ultra Hybrid Metal Ring MagFit

The best clear case for the Pixel 9 Pro

Spigen, a reputed name when it comes to phone cases, offers a clear case for the Pixel 9 Pro. It offers the ease of wrapping your phone without visually obstructing the phone’s good looks. Unlike other flimsy cases, Spigen uses a hybrid of TPU and polycarbonate to ensure durability in a slim format and prevent yellowing, the brand says. The case also comes with MagSafe support, though you can buy another variant without it for a few dollars less.

Poetic Guardian MagPro Case

The most protective case for the Pixel 9 Pro

If you’re looking for all-around protection, the Guardian MagPro Case from Poetic Cases is a lucrative option. In addition to its bumper-style back, the case features protective covering for the front. The case comes with two front pieces, and one of them has a built-in glass screen protector, which also supports the Pixel 9 Pro’s in-display fingerprint scanner.

The frame has a ridged pattern to improve your grip, while the back has a built-in ring sticker to attach MagSafe-compatible wireless chargers and accessories. The only downside of this ultra-protective case is the extra 4 ounces it adds to the phone’s weight, which might peeve some folks.

Torras 360° Spin Translucent Case

The most handsome case for the Pixel 9 Pro

If you would rather have the protection of a solid bumper and the advantage of a kickstand without additional bulk, this case is ideal for your Pixel 9 Pro. It has a standard bumper case design with a semi-see-through back, as well as certified military-grade drop protection. The biggest highlight of this case is the MagSafe ring that usually sits flush with the body, but can also be pulled out to serve as a stand for the phone. The edges have a textured finish instead of a bland TPU housing, and that gives it a more appealing look.

Tudia MergeGrip Dual-Layer Case

The best textured case for the Pixel 9 Pro

This case comes with two layers — TPU reinforced with a harder plastic shell — to ensure better protection. Besides additional protection, the textured grid on the back and the sides helps to improve grip and enhance its looks. The case also comes in a range of color options in addition to black. It supports MagSafe, though the ring is concealed between the two layers, making it inconspicuous.

OtterBox Defender Rugged Case

The best Pixel 9 Pro case for outdoor usage

The Otterbox Defender case brings top-notch protection for your Pixel 9 Pro. The case is essentially a hard shell covered by another, hardened slipcover, which amp up resistance to drops and impacts significantly. You can attach a third hard-shell layer on the back or on the front to protect the display. This additional layer comes a belt holster that rotates 360 degrees and also serves as a kickstand. If that doesn’t convince you, Otterbox has added a port sleeve to prevent dust or sand from creeping into the USB jack on your new and shiny Pixel 9 Pro.

Spigen Tough Armor

The best rigid case for Pixel 9 Pro

This rugged case from Spigen comes with a composite layer made of three different materials. The case, as the name suggests, is to ensure durability and toughness. Raised edges around the display and the camera bay increase protection around the glass, while the special rubberized layers along the top and bottom edges help absorb impacts better. A kickstand sits flush with the back and can be used to set the phone on flat surface. Despite its added thickness, Spigen says the phone doesn’t obstruct wireless charging on the Pixel 9 Pro.

Caseology Athlex

The best textured case for Pixel 9 Pro

The Caseology Athlex has one of the most distinct patterns you would find on Pixel 9 Pro cases. Though it looks like suede, the material is harder and rigid. The back, along with the accent lines, allows for a snug grip, while the dotted pattern on the sides prevent any slipping. The minimal and classy looks are complemented by great protection, especially with the raised edges along the camera and the display. However, the only downside here is that it won’t support MagSafe (though wireless works), and MagSafe rings may not work stick well due to jagged surface.

Spigen Thin Fit

The best slim case for Pixel 9 Pro

This case from Spigen is just perfect if you’re looking to protect your Pixel 9 Pro without excessively adding thickness. Despite being less than 2 millimeters thick and weighing less than an ounce, the case adds sufficient durability to the phone, thanks to its padded edges and protection for the camera and the display. The slim profile does not impede wireless charging rates and has tactile buttons that go with its fussless aura.

Caseology Nano Pop

The best silicone case for Pixel 9 Pro

If you love effective cases with a dash of color, the Caseology Nano Pop is the one you should get for your Pixel 9 Pro. It comes in dual-tone designs with various dark base colors and a contrasting shade on a ring around the camera. Though it’s made of silicon, Caseology promises similar protection as other cases with harder materials we have listed above. In addition to its minimal yet attractive looks, the lower half portions on the sides have a texture for enhanced grip.

Urban Armor Gear Google Pathfinder Case

The best army-core case for Pixel 9 Pro

We have a lot of protective cases on this list, but this is the only one that looks like it came out of a sci-fi anime. Despite its bulky appearance, the UAG Pathfinder is actually made from a lightweight material that maintains a hardy shell with a shock-absorbent core. It protects against drops up to 18 feet and features raised edges that protect the camera and screen. As a plus, the casing doesn’t interfere with buttons or charging ports and even supports wireless charging with a beefy built-in magnet.

Mosnovo Clear Phone Case with Cover Design

The best stylish case for Pixel 9 Pro

Mosnovo Google Pixel 9 Pro cases are budget picks for users that want more than just a solid color — or just want to express themselves. All of them are made with a base clear material with various designs printed on the back like pink and red strawberries and even one inspired by the famous Japanese painting, the Great Wave. It lacks protective features like a screen protector and bumpers, but the shock-absorbent material and dual-layer protection are an acceptable minimum. Since all the cases are translucent, they may be prone to yellowing with time.

OCASE Leather Flip Folio Wallet Case

The best wallet case for Pixel 9 Pro

You don’t need real leather for a card-toting wallet case. The OCASE Google Pixel 9 Pro Wallet Case uses supple PU leather to mimic the feel of the real thing while keeping costs low. It holds up to three cards and includes a large compartment on the inner pocket for cash and papers. Just be sure not to stuff it too much or the magnetic clasp might have a hard time closing.

As for utility, this wallet case includes a built-in kickstand that lets you prop your phone up at different angles for watching videos or other tasks where you might want a hands-free experience. Its cutouts enable you to take pictures, use wired chargers, and press buttons with ease. It also touts an RFID-friendly design to protect your information from cyber criminals.

AICase Google Pixel 9 Pro Waterproof Case

The best waterproof case for Pixel 9 Pro

This IP69-rated case is ready for the splash zone. The AICase Google Pixel 9 Pro Case protects your phone up to 10 feet underwater for 30 minutes, so it’s perfect for outdoor adventures where you need a waterproof camera. It can withstand water, but also snow, dirt, and dust. It also has a built-in screen protector that protects it from outdoor elements and scratches. However, since it’s so tightly sealed, the audio might not be as clear during phone calls or when watching videos. It’s an easy fix, though: Just turn the volume up.

Official Google Pixel 9 & 9 Pro Phone Case

The best official case for Pixel 9 Pro

Who knows the Google Pixel 9 Pro better than Google itself? The official Google Pixel 9 & 9 Pro Phone Case is made from a stain-resistant silicone that feels silky smooth to touch. It helps that the slim design cleanly fits into your hand or pocket. It even has a range of colors from pastel pink to gray. Even though it might not be as bulky or grippy as the other cases on this list, its shock-resistant, drop-tested design should protect against short drops and small accidents. That said, it doesn’t come with a screen protector like some of the more protective cases, so you’ll have to buy one separately.
