The Pixel 9a reintroduces the best parts of Google’s Pixel experience many people are familiar with for lesser than its main flagships. More importantly, Google has finally flattened the camera bar on the back. It doesn’t stick out awkwardly like it used to on older models, which may take some getting used to if you are a big fan of it that way. But it looks better with a case, and you could use the added protection to the phone’s plastic back. Here are some great options to choose from.

RMOCR heavy duty case
$9.99
The matte black shell of the RMOCR gives it a refined yet rugged look that’s uncommon from the gnarly armor cases populating online stores. It comes with a heavy-duty air cushioning around the corners, as well as screen and camera protectors, all of which will absorb any impacts when your phone hits hard surfaces. It will still have the nerve to work after.
Casetego glitter magnetic case
$16.99
Not all that glitters is gold and that’s exactly the case with this effeminate Casetego product. On the surface, it appears in luxe rose gold plating and other colors, and it’s more for anyone who wants to draw attention and less for protection. But it does have great qualities including Air Guard corners, raised cutouts, and strong charging magnets on the back.
FNTCase textured back cover
$6.99
Texture makes a world of difference in how you’ll feel carrying your phone around. The grippy, dotted back of the FNTCASE cover makes it much easier to hold. It’ll also feel relaxing running your hands along the body if you need something to fidget with.
FNTCase transparent cover
$7.99
The anti-yellowing claims on FNTCASE’s second case may not last forever, but for eight bucks, you can’t be mad at how much coverage you’re getting. If you don’t care for the excessives, it offers clear visibility of your phone’s back and 10FT military-grade protection with wireless charging support.
Spidercase translucent matte cover
$9.99
With the Pixel 9a’s complicated new battery management features, you need a case that doesn’t block any charging options. Spidercase’s product offers magnetic wireless charging, shockproof protection, and it’s a sophisticated option in different colors that covers your device in the long haul.
Ottpluscase anti-scratch cover
$13.99
A high-transparency case that shows off your Pixel’s color pretty nicely. You could probably forget you even have a case if it wasn’t for the feeling. The little air bumps inside around the corners and buttons are part of its smart design. They create tiny shock zones where your phone isn’t pressing directly against the hard plastic. So when you drop it, it flexes and absorbs the hit instead of cracking your device.
Vansdon liquid silicone case
$9.99
Vansdon’s case has a liquid silicone texture that wipes clean easily. It’s a blessing because its lighter colors of orange, mint, light lilac, and more will pick up dust over time if you’re not a little careful. A quick wipe with a damp cloth or hand sanitizer on a tissue can bring it right back to looking brand new. You also get two screen protectors thrown in and raised cutouts that keep your phone far from harm’s reach.

Get cased and protected
No matter which case you choose, protecting your Pixel 9a doesn’t stop there. A screen guard is a must if you want to keep further damage away, since not all the activity happens on the back of your phone. Many of the cases already come bundled with one, but if not, look for a tempered glass protector that promises at least 9H hardness. When shopping for cases online, always check that it’s made for your exact phone model, not just a similar one like the main Pixel 9 phone.
Pixel phones look alike across generations, but have slight size differences for casing that would fit weird or leave gaps on the wrong phone. Also, take time to scan customer reviews. Real pictures and experiences will tell you if a case yellows fast, feels cheap, or actually survives a drop like the ad claims.
