I’ve had a Bellroy for my Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 7 Pro, but I’ve found that they reduced the quality significantly on the newer ones. My care is scuffed and torn, but I’ve always handled my phone just as gently as before.

I may go for the Hazel silicone one from the Google store this time, it’s really pretty.

What cases do people recommend? Personally I don’t care for the OtterBox type cases, but I’m open to hearing what everyone uses!

    I use Spigen cases… thin, light, grippy, tough, and cheap. Easy to get on and off. They don’t obstruct button or port access, while still providing good protection to those things as well as the screen and camera lenses.

    I do use rigid screen and lens protectors, also.

      Same here. Spigen tough armor and a glass screen protector and lens protector. There’s some dust buildup by the type-c port and speakers, but what case won’t have that?

        And they’re so easy to pop off and back on that cleaning them up periodically isn’t a big deal.

    Naked, as always. I have the fold and with them being as big as they are already I don’t need to make it any more unmanageable. Even still, I haven’t used a case in years.

    Spigen Thin fit. It’s slim and it adds some plastic that is not slippery for me. (Similar to the nexus 5 / 5X black back cover).

    I would love to try a case that has a gel quality like the one you find in the apple official gel silicon case. Because every time I see an iPhone with those and I try it, feels like grabbing a soft eraser. If somebody knows a brand that makes these let me know!

      I’d love to do that, but the phone slips off my wireless charger onto the floor if I do 😅

    I swap between the Google brand one and the Dbrand one, both really nice

    I use the dBrand case, but I take it off when I’m at my desk at work or home. I only use it when I’m out and about.

    The dBrand grip is very good. The case itself is plain black, but being dBrand, you can customize it with skins. I’ve had it on my pixel 6 pro since launch, have dropped the thing a bunch and it honestly still looks pretty much new

    My last couple of phones have used Pela cases. They’re made with flax husk and other natural materials and are compostable. A bit pricey though

      I was just looking at these, but I’ve read that the screen edge gestures don’t work as great as some other cases? Not sure how true that is

        I guess I haven’t really noticed, or I’m just used to it. I have noticed the fit loosens a bit over time, which would be my main complaint.
