The Best Pixel 9 Cases, Tested and Reviewed (2025)
Other good cases and accessories
The world of pixel accessories is growing every year. Here are some other cases that I tried and loved, but not as much as those above.

Robust Spigen armor and hard armor for $ 20 +: These cases are also available for Pixel 9 Pro XL. Interestingly, the Pixel 9A version of robust armor and resistant armor has Magsafe magnets on the back, allowing you to use the phone with magnetic accessories (it worked on a Qi2 charger). The cases for the rest of the Pixel 9 series have no magnets. Robust armor has a nice textured back and adherent edges, although these areas tend to attract stains and brands. The edges are well high to protect the screen and the cameras, and the buttons are clicked. The hard armor, on the other hand, is smoother and has a crutch on the back. In the event of a wick, this outfit only works for the orientation of the landscape, so this is not the case to buy if you look at a lot of tiktok.
Otterbox Defender series for $ 55: This is undoubtedly the most protective case for the Pixel 9 series. It has a hard shell that is divided into two parts, wrapping around the front and back of the phone, and you click them in place. Then add the rubber cover to the top and the case, which allows you to oste the phone on the belt. The Holster clip can also double as a crutch in a horizontal orientation. Even the USB-C load port is covered. I think that the suburbs of Otterbox that I recommend above allows you almost in terms of sustainability, but if you want to maximize protection and like the cases, opt for the defender.
UAG tempered glass screen protector for $ 35: This tempered glass screen protector (also available for Pixel 9 Pro XL) was very easy to install. It comes with an applicator tool, a damp wipe, a dust removal sticker and a microfiber cloth. The dbrand that I recommend above is better value because you get two in the box, and it is cheaper, but the UAG option is a solid alternative.
Pela Liquid screen protector for $ 30: I am carefully optimistic about it because I did not have much experience with liquid screen protectors. Pela sends a small bottle with this liquid magic inside. First, clean your phone with a microfiber cloth. Then pour a third of the contents in the bottle on the fabric and wipe the phone. Wait for two minutes, then wipe off any excess. This liquid supposedly protects the scratches, the drops and even the impact, and is oleophobic to reduce stains. You will have to reapply it every 12 months, so save the rest in the bottle. I will report if I have problems. The right thing is that Pela will pay for all screen repairs, provided you use a Pela case And This liquid screen protector simultaneously.
Otterbox Google Pixel 9a Premium glass screen protector for $ 40: I tested this on the 9a pixel, but it is available for pixels 9, 9 pro and 9 pro XL. You get only one tempered glass screen protector, but the box is transformed into an applicator tool, and Otterbox includes a damp wipe, microfiber cloth and dust stickers. I always find that the tab you are supposed to fix the protector does not always connect properly. However, my installation was precise without air bubbles.
Thin Spigen adjustment case for $ 17: If you want to spend as little as possible on a case but still want Magsafe features, this Spigen case will do the trick. But I have to warn you, this is the case of the most generic phone you will find. Functionally, I have no scruples on the thing. But it is clear, boring and looks like a crime to cover the pretty color of my pixel. It is also available for Pixel 9A and Pixel 9 Pro XL.
Spigen Glastr tumben glass protector (2 packs) for $ 19: I tested this screen protector for Pixel 9a, but it is also available for the Pixel 9 Pro XL. I first messed up my first application – when I removed the rear adhesive, the protector slightly aligned, which made him settle down slightly on the phone. Fortunately it comes with a spare part. The things were much smoother the second time, although the twice, I ended up with a lot of air bubbles. Spigen includes a big beating to get rid of it, which is good.
Otterbox symmetry series for $ 31: This is a perfectly fine case which is a bit commonplace. The buttons are easy to press, the cutouts are precise and there is good protection against the raised edges. It is simply not unique in its appearance and offers no other interesting feature.
UAG Pathfinder Magsafe case for $ 55: It was weird. I like this business, even with its somewhat robust look. But the Magsafe did not work at all on the Pro XL affair. I suspect that I had a failure because I tested the same case for Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro, and the magnetic wireless load worked perfectly. Apart from this Blip, this case offers clicky buttons and many withdrawals for a satisfactory handle. The cutouts are precise and the lips are lifted decently on the screen, although they can be more protective of the camera module.
UAG Scout box for $ 30: I tested this case for Pixel 9a, and it’s rather commonplace. I am not a fan of the strange rectangular bump on the back, and I can’t find it all too adherent. There are no magnets either. But the buttons are clicked, with raised edges around the screen and precise port cuts. You can also get it for the 9/9 Pro Pixel and the Pixel 9 Pro XL.
Thin of Latercasse for $ 59: As soon as I jumped this case on the 9a pixel, I could see spots of my fingers on my back, and it pushed me back. I spent a few seconds wiping, and after a while, the spots came back. The texture of the Aramid fibers seems to attract them. It is a thin case designed for people who hate thick cases, but I find it a little dull, and there are no magnets inside, so no access to magnetic accessories. The top, the bottom and the right edge with the buttons are also exposed, so it does not do much. Discover the other colors, however. It doesn’t look bad in Crimson.
Super thin box of thin aramid fibers for $ 70: This case is not for the protection of droplets because it is incredibly thin. It’s a great option if you hate cases but want to protect your device from scratches. That said, it is Really Difficult to remove it (unless you have long nails). He also suffocates too easily, so I constantly found myself wiping him. There is a Magsafe Magsafe Magsafe ring, but it had trouble reliably adhering to other Magsafe accessories – the magnets are simply not strong enough. At least you get a screen protector in the box, although you need to maintain the installation.
Casety Impact Case with Magsafe for $ 52: Casety has an infinite number of models, including you can choose, and although it is criticized for the way it acquires some of these conceptions, there are not many places where you can go to get a Pixel 9 with Spider-Man on the back or that makes your phone look like a camera. These cases have Magsafe rings inside, so they should work with most Magsafe accessories. I just don’t like how prominent the box is prominent.
Avoid these cases

Otterbox Thin Flex Series for $ 41: As soon as I installed this slender case, I started trying all the buttons. The power button is not blocked by the case, but the volume rocker is, and unfortunately, it is incredibly difficult to press. Or rather, it is not that it is difficult to press, it is that you barely feel anything when you press the rocker, which is just as frustrating. This is an otherwise solid case, although the edges by the hinge are a little clear.
Uag Plyo Pixel 9 Pro Fold Case for $ 60: Nothing in this case shouts $ 60. It seems cheap and I hate that the left edge on the front has so much bending. The edges around the screen are also comically large, and I also had trouble accessing the phone buttons. It’s not great.
