Different Just right Circumstances and Equipment
The arena of Pixel equipment grows annually. Listed here are a couple of different instances I have attempted and preferred, simply now not up to those above.

Spigen Rugged Armor and Tricky Armor for $20+: Those instances are additionally to be had for the Pixel 9 Professional XL. Apparently, the Pixel 9a model of Rugged Armor and Tricky Armor options MagSafe magnets at the again, permitting you to make use of the telephone with magnetic equipment (it labored on a Qi2 charger). The instances for the remainder of the Pixel 9 collection should not have magnets. The Rugged Armor has a pleasing textured again and grippy edges, despite the fact that those spaces have a tendency to draw smudges and marks. The perimeters are well raised to offer protection to the display and cameras, and the buttons are clicky. The Tricky Armor, then again, is smoother and has a kickstand at the again. Annoyingly, this kickstand most effective works for panorama orientation, so it is not the case to shop for if you happen to watch numerous TikTok.
OtterBox Defender Sequence for $55: That is arguably essentially the most protecting case for the Pixel 9 collection. It has a troublesome shell that splits into two items, wrapping round the back and front of the telephone, and also you click on them in position. Then upload the rubber slipcover excessive and the holster, which helps you to affix the telephone to the belt. The holster’s clip too can double as a kickstand in a horizontal orientation. Even the USB-C charging port is roofed up. I believe the OtterBox Commuter I like to recommend above will get you just about there when it comes to sturdiness, however if you wish to maximize coverage and prefer holsters, opt for the Defender.
UAG Tempered Glass Display Protector for $35: This tempered glass display protector (additionally to be had for the Pixel 9 Professional XL) was once really easy to put in. It comes with an applicator instrument, a rainy wipe, a mud elimination decal, and a microfiber fabric. The Dbrand I like to recommend above is a greater price since you get two within the field, and it is less expensive, however UAG’s choice is a forged choice.
Pela Liquid Display Protector for $30: I am cautiously constructive about this one as a result of I have not had a lot enjoy with liquid display protectors. Pela sends a bit vial with this liquid magic within. First, blank your telephone with a microfiber fabric. Then, pour a 3rd of the contents within the vial onto the material, and wipe the telephone down. Wait two mins, after which wipe away any extra. This liquid supposedly protects from scratches, drops, or even affect, and is oleophobic to scale back smudges. You’ll be able to wish to reapply it each three hundred and sixty five days, so save the remainder that is within the vial. I’m going to document again if I’ve any problems. The nice factor is Pela can pay for any display maintenance, supplied you have been the usage of a Pela case and this liquid display protector concurrently.
OtterBox Google Pixel 9a Top rate Glass Display Protector for $40: I examined this at the Pixel 9a, however it is to be had for the Pixel 9, 9 Professional, and 9 Professional XL. You most effective get one tempered glass display protector, however the field becomes the applicator instrument, and OtterBox features a rainy wipe, a microfiber fabric, and dirt stickers. I at all times to find that the tab you are intended to glue the protector to does not at all times attach correctly. Nonetheless, my set up was once correct and not using a air bubbles.
Spigen Skinny Have compatibility Case for $17: If you wish to spend as low as conceivable on a case however nonetheless need MagSafe capability, this Spigen case will do the trick. However I should provide you with a warning, that is essentially the most generic telephone case you’ll be able to to find. Functionally, I don’t have any qualms in regards to the factor. However it is undeniable, dull, and seems like a criminal offense to hide up my Pixel’s lovely colour. It is also to be had for the Pixel 9a and Pixel 9 Professional XL.
Spigen GlasTR Tempered Glass Display Protector (2 Pack) for $19: I examined this display protector for the Pixel 9a, however additionally it is to be had for the Pixel 9 Professional XL. I to start with screwed up my first utility—once I got rid of the again adhesive, the protector misaligned fairly, inflicting it to put in fairly askew at the telephone. Just right factor it comes with a spare. Issues have been a lot smoother the second one time round, despite the fact that each occasions I used to be left with numerous air bubbles. Spigen comprises a large squeegee to eliminate them, which is good.
OtterBox Symmetry Sequence for $31: It is a completely high quality case that is just a little unremarkable. The buttons are simple to press, the cutouts are correct, and there is just right coverage from the raised edges. It is simply now not distinctive in the way it seems to be and does not be offering every other attention-grabbing options.
UAG Pathfinder MagSafe Case for $55: This was once a peculiar one. I really like this example, even with its moderately rugged glance. However the MagSafe didn’t paintings in any respect at the Professional XL case. I believe I were given a dud as a result of I examined the similar case for the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Professional, and magnetic wi-fi charging labored completely. Outdoor of this blip, this example gives clicky buttons and a lot of indents for a delightful grip. The cutouts are correct, and the lips are raised decently at the show, despite the fact that they may stand to be extra protecting of the digicam module.
UAG Scout Case for $30: I examined this example for the Pixel 9a, and it is relatively unremarkable. I am not keen on the bizarre oblong bump at the again, and I do not to find all of it that grippy. There aren’t any magnets both. However the buttons are clicky, with raised edges across the display and correct port cutouts. You’ll be able to additionally get it for the Pixel 9/9 Professional and Pixel 9 Professional XL.
Latercase Skinny Case for $59: Once I popped this example at the Pixel 9a, I may see smudges from my palms at the again, and it put me off. I spent a couple of seconds wiping it down, and after a while, the smudges got here again. The aramid fiber texture turns out to draw ’em. It’s a skinny case designed for individuals who hate thick instances, however I to find it a bit uninteresting, and there aren’t any magnets within, so no get admission to to magnetic equipment. The highest, backside, and proper edge with the buttons also are uncovered, so it is not doing a lot. Take a look at the opposite colours, despite the fact that. It does not glance dangerous in purple.
Thinborne Aramid Fiber Tremendous Skinny Case for $70: This situation is not for drop coverage as a result of it is extremely skinny. It is a great choice if you happen to hate instances however need to offer protection to your tool from scratches. That mentioned, it is in reality tough to take it off (except you’ve gotten lengthy nails). It additionally smudges means too simply, so I continuously discovered myself wiping it down. There is a MagSafe magnetic ring baked in, nevertheless it struggled to reliably adhere to different MagSafe equipment—the magnets simply are not sturdy sufficient. A minimum of you do get a display protector within the field, despite the fact that you want to freehand the set up.
Casetify Have an effect on Case With MagSafe for $52: Casetify has an unending collection of designs you’ll choose between, and whilst it has come below fireplace for the way it acquires a few of the ones designs, there aren’t many puts you’ll pass to get a Pixel 9 case with Spider-Guy at the again or one who makes your telephone seem like a movie digicam. Those instances have MagSafe rings within, in order that they must paintings with maximum MagSafe equipment. I simply do not love how distinguished the Casetify emblem is at the again.
Keep away from Those Circumstances

OtterBox Skinny Flex Sequence for $41: Once I put in this svelte case, I began attempting the entire buttons. The ability button isn’t blocked through the case, however the quantity rocker is, and sadly, it’s extremely laborious to press. Or relatively, it is not that it is laborious to press, it is that you simply slightly really feel the rest whilst you press the rocker, which is solely as irritating. It is an another way forged case, despite the fact that the sides through the hinge are a bit of sharp.
UAG Plyo Pixel 9 Professional Fold Case for $60: Not anything about this example screams $60. It feels reasonable, and I hate that the left edge at the entrance has such a lot flex. The perimeters across the display also are comically massive, and I additionally discovered it laborious to get admission to the telephone’s buttons. It isn’t nice.
