The Google Pixel 8 has landed. Make sure yours is protected from day one with the best Google Pixel 8 cases available right now!
The Google Pixel 8 has been announced, and the full release is just around the corner. If you’ve preordered your new smartphone, then you’re likely eagerly awaiting the moment your it arrives at your door. But a shiny new smartphone is a vulnerable thing, and we all remember that guy dropping his new Apple iPhone 6 on live TV in 2014. Thankfully, his phone was OK, but your Pixel 8 might not be if it takes a tumble shortly after arriving.
Why not fill some of that time before your phone arrives by buying a protective case? Not only is it a great way to start enjoying your phone before it arrives, but it’s also a savvy move to make sure your phone is kept safe from the moment it arrives. There are a lot of cases available already, and some of the biggest brands have released a variety of great protective options. Here are 10 of the best Google Pixel 8 cases available right now.
Spigen Ultra Hybrid Clear CaseThe best clear Google Pixel 8 case
The Pixel 8 comes in a variety of vibrant colors, and if that’s been a big factor in your purchase, then keep it protected with a case that allows your phone’s color to shine through. This case from Spigen is completely clear, allowing for an unobstructed view of your device’s sleek curves and beautiful bold color. It’s not lacking in protection either; Spigen has opted for a hybrid build with flexible TPU and hard polycarbonate, creating a solid Pixel 8 case that protects your phone from a number of everyday hazards.
While this isn’t as protective as a “rugged” case, it’s a lot stronger than most clear cases, and great as an everyday case. Also keep in mind the yellowing factor. The Pixel 8 has been cleared for seven years of updates, meaning it’s possible for your phone to last that long. This case’s TPU elements will yellow as it ages, even though it’s been treated to reduce the speed at which it does. You will probably have to replace this case eventually if you’re looking to max out your phone’s life, but it’s available at a good price, so that’s not a huge issue
Ringke Onyx Grip CaseThe best grip Google Pixel 8 case
The Pixel 8 isn’t the slipperiest phone around, but it would still benefit from a little extra grip, and that’s where cases like Ringke’s Onyx step in. It’s made entirely from flexible and soft TPU, which offers a pliable surface for your fingers that’s further enhanced with a matte, granulated texture.
As it’s a Ringke case, it also has two QuikCatch lanyard attachment points, so you can double down on drop-proofing with a wrist or a shoulder strap. The flexible TPU, though bolstered, isn’t going to be as protective as a hybrid or rugged case, and offers protection against scratches, bumps, and minor drops.
UAG Scout Series Rugged CaseThe best slim rugged Google Pixel 8 case
If you’re planning on taking your Google Pixel 8 out adventuring — and with a camera like that, you should — then a good rugged case is a must to keep your phone from falling prey to the hazards of the great outdoors. UAG’s Scout series case is a great choice if you want a rugged case.
