Google just revealed the Pixel 10 lineup, including the Pixel 10 Pro XL and Pixel 10 Pro Fold, during its Made by Google event. New phone days are always filled with excitement, but as you secure your new Pixel 10, don’t forget to pick up protection. If you’re spending hundreds, even thousands, on a piece of hardware, you’ll want to keep it safe.
Between random scuffs and scratches from daily use to accidental drops, not using a case for your Pixel 10 is risky. While I regularly walk around without a phone case just to feel something, I don’t recommend it. It’s not worth it. So, here are the Pixel 10 cases currently available. Of course, I’ll update this list with the latest options and CNET’s top picks once we’ve tested them.
Pixel 10 cases
Torras case for Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro: $27
The Torras magnetic case for Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro is so slim, you probably won’t notice it. However, you will be grateful if you end up dropping your phone. The Torras case has “military grade protection against drops up to 12 feet.” There’s also a 1.2mm raised lip around the screen and a 1.5mm raised camera bezel to help prevent scratches.
Natbok clear case for Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro: $7
Add a layer of protection to your new Pixel 10 or Pixel 10 Pro without hiding its design. This Natbok case has a high-quality polycarbonate back that’s scratch-resistant. The case is super lightweight and Natbok claims it’ll stay clear instead of yellowing over time.
Qinmay case for Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro: $13
If you like OtterBox cases but you’re on a budget, this may be a good option for you. The Qinmay case has an OtterBox vibe at a fraction of the cost. It offers heavy-duty three-layer protection to keep your Pixel 10 or Pixel 10 Pro safe. It’s scratch-resistant, shockproof and easy to install. Plus, it comes in several cool color combos, including purple with sky blue, black with bright orange and more.
SpiderCase case for Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro: $11
The SpiderCase offers “military-grade drop protection” in a sleek, translucent matte design. This is easily one of the best-looking early case options. It has magnets for the Pixel’s new MagSafe-like charging feature. You can choose from a handful of colors, including purple, green and hot pink.
Holster leather case for Pixel 10 Pro Fold: $24
This is marketed for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, but I’m sure it would work for any of the new Pixel 10 devices. It’s a phone belt case, which means it comes with loops and clips that you attach to your belt and wear on your waist. It has space for cards and cash and secures everything with a magnetic closure. It’s also leather, which is usually a more premium look.
This case is perfect for anyone who loves a retro case, think early 2000s. Or maybe it’ll make a nice addition to your Halloween costume this year.
Qindaiwen case with kickstand for Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro: $15
Show off your personality while protecting your Pixel 10 with this case selection. There are nearly 30 unique designs, including an adorable black cat. This case supports the MagSafe-like charging feature and comes with a versatile kickstand. You can prop your Pixel up in portrait or landscape modes and even adjust the angle.

Pixel 10 screen protectors
Mr. Shield screen protector for Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro: $6
Depending on the Pixel 10 case you choose, you’ll get a bit of screen protection, usually in the form of a raised lip around the phone. If you want more, a tempered glass screen protector could be the solution. Screen protectors add little to no bulk but help prevent shattering. For $6, you’ll get three high-quality Japan glass protectors with 9H hardness. These are also fingerprint unlock compatible.
Milomdoi privacy screen for Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro: $10
Protect your screen and your information with a privacy screen protector for your new Pixel 10. If you use your phone in public, you know there are prying eyes everywhere. With these protectors, you won’t have to worry about anyone reading your spicy texts or private work emails over your shoulder.
