We Tested 30 Pixel 10 Cases and Accessories—Here Are Our Favorites
If you buy something through one of our links, we may earn a commission.
As pristine as you think your Pixel 10 might be, no device, regardless of its durability claims, is above any accidental damage or couldn’t use some additional protection. Google’s latest flagships aren’t cheap either, as the Pixel 10 is $800, the Pixel 10 Pro is $1,000, the Pixel 10 Pro XL is $1,200, and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is $1,800.
Google doesn’t ship out an unlimited amount of Pixel phones, so we didn’t complete any in-depth drop tests. However, during our testing, some products suffered accidental spills, either by me or my kids. Also, it’s worth noting that if you got it like that and are upgrading from last year’s model, Pixel 9 cases won’t fit your Pixel 10 phone.
If you’re looking for a tough screen protector, a sturdy stand, or a clear, leather, protective, thin, or just a superb overall case for everyday use, we’ve got you covered. While we didn’t test every single case, Qi2 power bank, and accessory for the Pixel 10 series, we tested a total of 30 products in all, which resulted in 11 of our favorite Pixel 10 accessories, which we highly recommend to help you get the most out of Google’s 2025 flagship.
Our Favorite Overall Case:
Mous Limitless Case w/ Pixelsnap
The $80 Mous Limitless case offers a great combination of protection, effective Pixelsnap connectivity, and options to match your style. It utilizes a combination of its proprietary AiroShock material, which absorbs and releases energy for drops, and rubber-like plastic or TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) for the cases’ sides and bumpers; polycarbonate (or a strong plastic) for its frame; and various back panels like Aramid Fibre, Black Leather, Walnut, Bamboo, and Speckled Fabric.
The Limitless case does an amazing job with its Pixelsnap magnets, as all of its cases are Google-certified and easily stick to every Qi2 magnetic charging and MagSafe accessory. The cases’ edges feature a sloped design, subtly increasing in height around the top and bottom portions to better protect the display from face-down drops. It also features accurate cutouts, slightly thicker corners, and mild ridges on the sides to provide a good grip with hard plastic, while offering clicky buttons. All of the Limitless case features feel good in hand, and you feel confident that your phone feels safe inside of it.
The company backs its cases with a limited lifetime warranty of 25 years. However, the warranty doesn’t cover occurrences such as wear-and-tear, accidental damage, theft, loss, etc. While Mous doesn’t specify a range for drop protection, I can vouch for it surviving a few 6-foot drops on both hardwood and concrete surfaces, and my Pixel escaped unscathed. If there was a caveat, outside of the higher pricing, it could offer a higher border to protect the rear camera array.
We also like the $52 Casetify Impact Magnetic Cases, which offer solid overall coverage with slightly raised bezels for the camera bar, a thicker profile with corner protection that can survive up to an 8.2ft drop, and a plethora of design options from thousands of artists.
Zagg Crystal Palace Snap
For those seeking a case that shows off the color of your Pixel 10, a clear case is the way to go, as we prefer the $50 Zagg Crystal Palace Snap case. It’s comprised of TPU and Graphene, which provides a relatively hard-shell case with enough flexibility to insert and remove your phone with ease. The Zagg case features textured sides for added grip and provides up to 13ft drop protection against accidental drops. It features accurate cutouts for its microphones, speakers, USB-C port, strong magnets, and a flat yet accessible button profile.
Zagg has a limited lifetime warranty, which offers free replacements for life if the case on your phone is damaged. However, like any clear case, it’s prone to fingerprints and potentially turning yellow over time. This is despite numerous anti-yellowing claims throughout the years. We’ll follow up and update this if and when it happens.
Our Favorite Leather Case:
Bellroy Leather Case
If a leather-wrapped case is more of your fancy, look no further than the $55 Bellroy Leather Case option for your Pixel 10 device. The case’s exterior is completely wrapped in leather, which looks and feels premium. Also, on the outside are aluminum buttons, which are clicky and responsive. It also has a plush and soft microfiber lining with a Pixelsnap magnet within it and precise cutouts for the charging port, the mic, and speakers.
However, the trade-off for the case being pretty is sacrificing some protection. The low lip over the screen and camera bar isn’t high enough to protect from drops, and there isn’t much of an extra grip present. Bellroy does provide a 3-year warranty, which covers any faulty construction of the case.
Our Favorite Thin Case:
Thinborne Aramid Fiber Magnetic Case
If you prefer a super-thin, minimal case, we’d point you towards the $70 Thinborne Aramis Fiber Magnetic Case. It lives up to its name, as the case is 1mm thick, like paper-thin, and weighs in at only 0.7 ounces. Thinborne includes magnets for Pixelsnap support, and all cases include a tempered-glass screen protector, but don’t include tools to align it or apply it securely.
But being thin makes it harder to remove the case without feeling like you’re about to break it. Another downside to being on the thinner side is that it won’t do much in regard to protection, as you don’t get additional coverage on the corners, and the buttons are completely exposed.
Our Favorite Protective Case:
Zagg Rainier Case
The $70 Zagg Rainier Case took our spot as our favored protective case for the Pixel 10 series. Zagg covers your device with multi-layered protection consisting of TPU, Graphene, and a clear plastic back cover. It covers every area of your phone without adding too many inches to its overall profile. Ironically, while testing this case, my Pixel 10 Pro fell several times and only suffered a minor ding on the corner of the case, while my phone was perfectly intact.
The Rainier is made from a 2-piece construction comprised of up to 84% of recycled materials with reinforced, shock-absorbing bumpers and can survive up to a 22 ft drop. It offers an elevated lip to protect the phone’s screen and camera bar, has a decent grip, has rubber button covers, and has a rubber flap to keep debris out of the USB-C port. Not to mention, Zagg offers free replacements for life if the case on your phone is damaged. However, the clear back portion is a fingerprint magnet.
We also love the $70 Rokform Rugged Case, which is made from a TPU body, a hard polycarbonate outer shell with reinforced corners, and a soft inner liner. This combined to make for a military-grade certified case that can absorb shocks and drops and endure up to a 6-foot drop. The case supports Pixelsnap, and Rokform has its own twistlock mounts that can be swapped out for a magnetic wallet or a ring stand accessory. It dances a fine line between being too thick and just thick enough, and it’s only available for the Pixel 10 Pro XL.
Our Favorite Non-Pixelsnap Case:
Crave Dual-Guard Case
If you’re seeking solid protection on a budget and you couldn’t care less about the Pixelsnap Qi2 magnetic wireless charging, look no further than the Crave Dual-Guard case. It lives up to its name with a slim, dual-layer protection comprised of TPU. The majority of the exterior design is covered in a pebble-textured layout, which helps provide an overall comfy grip, and the remaining parts have a matte finish. It has slightly raised edges to give the camera bar and display areas additional protection against drops.
The case also features clicky power and volume buttons and accurate cutouts for easy access to your phone’s mics, speakers, and USB-C port. While it doesn’t support Pixelsnap magnetic charging, the case still supports standard wireless charging without having to remove it. Crave gives you all of these features for under $20—$17 to be exact. And like most case makers, it offers a lifetime warranty on the cases only, and doesn’t cover any phone damage.
We also recommend the $50 Burga Tough Cases, which also offer a wide variety of fashionable options for those who couldn’t care less about Qi2 magnet support.
Our Favorite Mounting Case:
Peak Design Gnar Case
The newest $60 Peak Design Gnar Case, a stylish and tougher version of the Everyday Case, is our pick for mounting your accessories. The Gnar Case is made from a recycled polycarbonate body, TPU bumper and bezels, a removable USB-C plug, metal buttons, microfiber lining, and a ceramic locking ring. Its results lead to a thick case and provide a great grip on the sides for holding. This combination of materials adds more drop, dust, and water protection, which can survive up to a 14ft drop, as the minimal Everyday Case can handle up to a 6ft drop.
The Gnar Case also has Pixelsnap support along with Peak Design’s proprietary square cutout for mounting its own accessories, which include the company’s own car/motorcycle mounts, mobile tripods, magnetic wallets, and wireless charging mounts.
Our Favorite Cheap Case:
Ringke Onyx Magnetic
A cheap case doesn’t mean poorly made, but rather reflects the pricing. The $30 Ringke Onyx case is the perfect embodiment of a strong and affordable phone case. It’s made of softer TPU instead of being stiffer and provides complete coverage of your Pixel 10 phone. It has an elevated edge to protect the display, a textured back that repels fingerprints, micro-dot embossed sides for a secure grip, lanyard/accessory cutouts, and a complete camera cover, leaving only the sensor, flash, and temperature sensor (Pro models) exposed, in addition to raised edges.
In today’s economy, anything below $40 is relatively cheap—especially since most of the cases on our list start at $50 and go up to $70. With its sleek design and reliable features, the Ringke Onyx case ensures that you don’t have to compromise on quality while keeping your costs low.
We also like the $20 Spigen Nano Pop MagFit case, which is made from PC and TPU with a soft finish but has micro-dots on the sides for extra grip. It provides clicky buttons, has military-grade protection, and has Pixelsnap/MagSafe support. The case only comes in one color option: a navy blue with a pop of yellow accent around the rear camera cutout. However, we just prefer the overall build and grip of Ringke’s case.
Our Favorite Pixel 10 Pro Fold Case:
UAG Mouve Case
For the Pixel 10 Pro Fold owners out there, there’s no reason to put your $1,800 phone at any unnecessary risk. We recommend adding the $70 UAG Mouve Case for a sleek two-piece solution. It’s made of TPU and Polycarbonate (or hard plastic) and meets military drop-test standards, which consist of being dropped 26 times on all sides from at least a 4-foot height onto 2 inches of plywood on top of concrete.
The UAG case adds corner coverage for additional drop protection, small ridges for an improved grip on the sides, an embedded magnet for Pixelsnap/MagSafe support, and raised bezels to protect your foldable’s screen and camera lens. The case has an adhesive within the inner walls of the two-piece case for a secure fit, especially on the front portion, which covers the outer screen. It also offers precise cutouts for the power and volume buttons, USB-C port, microphones, and speakers.
Our Favorite Screen Protector:
Spigen Glas.tR EZ FIT
It’s been hard to dethrone this company’s screen protectors, as the $20 Spigen EZ Fit is still our favorite screen protector for the Pixel 10, iPhone 17, and just about any phone—save for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, as we haven’t found a good screen protector for it just yet. The installation process for the EZ Fit is damn-near foolproof. It covers the entire screen. It’s only $20 on Amazon, comes with two parts, and has a great warranty. And there’s nothing else to say about it. Keep in mind that you’ll need to add your fingerprints again for the fingerprint sensor to work properly. Afterwards, go to Settings > Display & Touch > Touch Sensitivity and ensure Adaptive Touch is turned on to prevent any lag in touch input from the screen protector.
Our Favorite Qi2 Power Bank:
Statik State 5,000 mAh
While we haven’t tested every single power bank on the market, out of the 10 or so we’ve tested, this one stood out. Specifically, the $60 Statik State Qi2 magnetic 5,000 mAh power bank. It has an aluminum frame, an impact-resistant shell, and a scratch-hiding, matte finish.
Other than being TSA-approved, having an LED battery indicator, and offering 15W Pixelsnap charging and 18W USB-C charging speeds, it provides standalone features like remaining cool when used for longer periods, not catching on fire if punctured, and having a longer lifespan than other power banks with less degradation. Statik also offers a two-year warranty, under which Statik will replace the power bank in case it breaks under normal wear and tear. The only thing this power bank is missing is a built-in kickstand.
Our Favorite Magnetic Kickstand:
Google Pixelsnap Ring Stand
And speaking of kickstands, Google did an excellent job crafting its $30 Pixelsnap Ring Stand. It has a metal ring around a circular magnet that sticks to the Qi2 magnet on your Pixel 10 device. Think of it as a smaller version of the Ring Stand for its Pixel Tablet. It can prop your Pixel 10 phone in both landscape and portrait orientations and provides a fantastic amount of tension, which can support several angles without getting loose. Just don’t charge your phone wirelessly with the Ring Stand still on, as it can cause damage.
