Google recently unveiled the new Google Pixel 9 series, which features a solid design shift, better cameras, and broader range than ever before. The Google Pixel 9 Pro specifically offers compactness, versatile camera performance with three shooters, and a host of AI features to back the hardware. The goodness comes with a not-so-sweet price, and you must be ready to shell at least $1,000 to own the Pixel 9 Pro. For that price and the keeping glass construction in mind, it would be wise to wrap it up in a case that protects it from drops of all intensity. Here, we list some of the best Pixel 9 Pro cases to ensure your new phone stays safe against all odds.

The best wallet case for Google Pixel 9 Pro
Antsturdy Leather Flip Wallet Case
- Four card slots
- Wrist strap
- Cushiony kickstand function
- A little pricey
Most wallet cases do a good job of eliminating the bulk a regular wallet adds to your purse, but this beautiful leather wallet case from Antsturdy provides an extra cushion for your Google Pixel 9 Pro. It has seven card slots -- four on one side, three on the other -- plus a slot for your driver's license and a zipper pocket to hold your loose change, keys, and receipts. The inner TPU shell works with the leather to protect your phone from drops and shocks, and the leather is highly resistant to scratches. The wrist strap helps protect it from falls, allowing you to hang it tightly from your wrist and carry it with confidence. The kickstand acts as a pillow for your phone, keeping it comfy while watching videos and keeping the edge extra clean.
The best wooden case for Google Pixel 9 Pro
kwmobile Real Wood Case
- Real wooden back
- Rubber protects wood
- Affordable
- Not MagSafe compatible
A wooden plate enveloped by rubber makes for a perfect dual-tone case, and kwmobile provides the perfect style with this case. The wood back, made from different variations of grain, is encrusted by a soft shell wrapped around the edges of the Google Pixel 9 Pro. It's a good case if you want to dress your phone up with a mix of tradition and modernity while ensuring good protection from drops. Don't expect it to facilitate wireless charging from a MagSafe charger, though.
The best bumper case for the Pixel 9 Pro
Mous Clear Bumper Case
- See-through back with protective edges
- MagSafe support
- Unobtrusive design
- Expensive
This case protects your Pixel 9 Pro from falls without hiding away its beauty. The frosted clear back is paired to a gray bumper, allowing you to admire the phone's original colors while keeping it safe. Mous claims the back comes with a special coating to prevent it from yellowing or even getting scratched. The cushioned edges absorb impacts during falls, while the raised edges will protect the glass over the display and the camera. The MagSafe connector lets you attach a host of compatible wireless chargers and accessories in a jiffy.
The best clear case for the Pixel 9 Pro
Spigen Ultra Hybrid Metal Ring MagFit
- Good pricing
- Plain and simple aesthetics
- Anti-yellowing material
- May be less protective than a bumper
Spigen, a reputed name when it comes to phone cases, offers a clear case for the Pixel 9 Pro. It offers the ease of wrapping your phone without visually obstructing the phone's good looks. Unlike other flimsy cases, Spigen uses a hybrid of TPU and polycarbonate to ensure durability in a slim format and prevent yellowing, the brand says. The case also comes with MagSafe support, though you can buy another variant without it for a few dollars less.
The most protective case for the Pixel 9 Pro
Poetic Guardian MagPro Case
- Protection for the front and back
- MagSafe-compatible
- Built-in screen protector
- Bulky
If you're looking for all-around protection, the Guardian MagPro Case from Poetic Cases is a lucrative option. In addition to its bumper-style back, the case features protective covering for the front. The case comes with two front pieces, and one of them has a built-in glass screen protector, which also supports the Pixel 9 Pro's in-display fingerprint scanner.
The frame has a ridged pattern to improve your grip, while the back has a built-in ring sticker to attach MagSafe-compatible wireless chargers and accessories. The only downside of this ultra-protective case is the extra 4 ounces it adds to the phone's weight, which might peeve some folks.
The most handsome case for the Pixel 9 Pro
Torras 360° Spin Translucent Case
- Premium finish
- Seamless kickstand
- Military-grade drop protection
- High price
If you would rather have the protection of a solid bumper and the advantage of a kickstand without additional bulk, this case is ideal for your Pixel 9 Pro. It has a standard bumper case design with a semi-see-through back, as well as certified military-grade drop protection. The biggest highlight of this case is the MagSafe ring that usually sits flush with the body, but can also be pulled out to serve as a stand for the phone. The edges have a textured finish instead of a bland TPU housing, and that gives it a more appealing look.
The best textured case for the Pixel 9 Pro
Tudia MergeGrip Dual-Layer Case
- Multiple colors
- Dual layers for extra padding
- MagSafe-compatible
- Textured back can pick up grime
This case comes with two layers — TPU reinforced with a harder plastic shell — to ensure better protection. Besides additional protection, the textured grid on the back and the sides helps to improve grip and enhance its looks. The case also comes in a range of color options in addition to black. It supports MagSafe, though the ring is concealed between the two layers, making it inconspicuous.
The best Pixel 9 Pro case for outdoor usage
OtterBox Defender Rugged Case
- Solid, impact-proof build
- Protective layers on front and back
- Belt holster that doubles as stand
- Adds bulk
The Otterbox Defender case brings top-notch protection for your Pixel 9 Pro. The case is essentially a hard shell covered by another, hardened slipcover, which amp up resistance to drops and impacts significantly. You can attach a third hard-shell layer on the back or on the front to protect the display. This additional layer comes a belt holster that rotates 360 degrees and also serves as a kickstand. If that doesn't convince you, Otterbox has added a port sleeve to prevent dust or sand from creeping into the USB jack on your new and shiny Pixel 9 Pro.
The best rigid case for Pixel 9 Pro
Spigen Tough Armor
- Rigid, shockproof shell
- Kickstand for resting on surfaces
- Textured buttons
- Increases the phone's thickness
This rugged case from Spigen comes with a composite layer made of three different materials. The case, as the name suggests, is to ensure durability and toughness. Raised edges around the display and the camera bay increase protection around the glass, while the special rubberized layers along the top and bottom edges help absorb impacts better. A kickstand sits flush with the back and can be used to set the phone on flat surface. Despite its added thickness, Spigen says the phone doesn't obstruct wireless charging on the Pixel 9 Pro.
The best textured case for Pixel 9 Pro
Caseology Athlex
- Elegant looks
- Suede-like texture
- Grippy sides
- Not MagSafe compatible
The Caseology Athlex has one of the most distinct patterns you would find on Pixel 9 Pro cases. Though it looks like suede, the material is harder and rigid. The back, along with the accent lines, allows for a snug grip, while the dotted pattern on the sides prevent any slipping. The minimal and classy looks are complemented by great protection, especially with the raised edges along the camera and the display. However, the only downside here is that it won't support MagSafe (though wireless works), and MagSafe rings may not work stick well due to jagged surface.
The best slim case for Pixel 9 Pro
Spigen Thin Fit
- Lightweight and slim
- Cushioned edged to protect against drops
- Unhindered wireless charging
- Plain surface may lower grip
This case from Spigen is just perfect if you're looking to protect your Pixel 9 Pro without excessively adding thickness. Despite being less than 2 millimeters thick and weighing less than an ounce, the case adds sufficient durability to the phone, thanks to its padded edges and protection for the camera and the display. The slim profile does not impede wireless charging rates and has tactile buttons that go with its fussless aura.
The best silicone case for Pixel 9 Pro
Caseology Nano Pop
- Vibrant colors
- Good fit
- Durable
- Dust and microfibers may stick to the back
If you love effective cases with a dash of color, the Caseology Nano Pop is the one you should get for your Pixel 9 Pro. It comes in dual-tone designs with various dark base colors and a contrasting shade on a ring around the camera. Though it's made of silicon, Caseology promises similar protection as other cases with harder materials we have listed above. In addition to its minimal yet attractive looks, the lower half portions on the sides have a texture for enhanced grip.
The best army-core case for Pixel 9 Pro
Urban Armor Gear Google Pathfinder Case
- Sturdy build
- Futuristic
- Lightweight despite protectiveness
- Doesn't excel in any particular category
We have a lot of protective cases on this list, but this is the only one that looks like it came out of a sci-fi anime. Despite its bulky appearance, the UAG Pathfinder is actually made from a lightweight material that maintains a hardy shell with a shock-absorbent core. It protects against drops up to 18 feet and features raised edges that protect the camera and screen. As a plus, the casing doesn’t interfere with buttons or charging ports and even supports wireless charging with a beefy built-in magnet.
The best stylish case for Pixel 9 Pro
Mosnovo Clear Phone Case with Cover Design
- Many prints
- Clear material
- Charm holes
- Might yellow over time
- No screen protector
Mosnovo Google Pixel 9 Pro cases are budget picks for users that want more than just a solid color — or just want to express themselves. All of them are made with a base clear material with various designs printed on the back like pink and red strawberries and even one inspired by the famous Japanese painting, the Great Wave. It lacks protective features like a screen protector and bumpers, but the shock-absorbent material and dual-layer protection are an acceptable minimum. Since all the cases are translucent, they may be prone to yellowing with time.
The best waterproof case for Pixel 9 Pro
AICase Google Pixel 9 Pro Waterproof Case
- Simple but sturdy
- Can take pictures underwater
- Also protects against snow, dust, and dirt
- May weaken audio
This IP69-rated case is ready for the splash zone. The AICase Google Pixel 9 Pro Case protects your phone up to 10 feet underwater for 30 minutes, so it's perfect for outdoor adventures where you need a waterproof camera. It can withstand water, but also snow, dirt, and dust. It also has a built-in screen protector that protects it from outdoor elements and scratches. However, since it’s so tightly sealed, the audio might not be as clear during phone calls or when watching videos. It's an easy fix, though: Just turn the volume up.
The best official case for Pixel 9 Pro
Official Google Pixel 9 & 9 Pro Phone Case
- Simple design
- Color choices
- Google made it specifically for the Pixel 9 Pro
- Lacks protection
Who knows the Google Pixel 9 Pro better than Google itself? The official Google Pixel 9 & 9 Pro Phone Case is made from a stain-resistant silicone that feels silky smooth to touch. It helps that the slim design cleanly fits into your hand or pocket. It even has a range of colors from pastel pink to gray. Even though it might not be as bulky or grippy as the other cases on this list, its shock-resistant, drop-tested design should protect against short drops and small accidents. That said, it doesn’t come with a screen protector like some of the more protective cases, so you’ll have to buy one separately.
The best case for butter-fingered owners
DBrand Grip Case
- Textured surface is easy to grip
- Buttons provide excellent tactile feedback
- Military-grade drop protection
- Pricey
Along with its wicked sense of humor, Dbrand knows how to make a good phone case. The Grip Case for the Pixel 9 Pro has a textured exterior that is easy to hold onto, as well as tactile buttons so you don't have to guess whether you clicked it or not. You can choose between a wide variety of patterns and even get a couple of screen protectors thrown in with your purchase.
Best colorful case for Pixel 9 Pro
Casetify Under the Sea
- Works with wireless charging
- Has a socket for easy charm attachment
- Rated for drops up to 8 feet
- Pricey
Casetify is the place to go if you want to find a unique, truly custom case. There are hundreds of cases to choose from, and most are further customizable from there. Under the Sea stands out because of how colorful it is against any color phone, but it really shines with a lighter phone. The artwork on the back has a decidedly tropical feel that has us ready to flee the autumn chill for a sunny beach somewhere.
The most sophisticated Pixel 9 Pro case
Peak Design Every Day for Pixel 9 Pro
- Muted design
- Works with wireless charging
- Shell is made of eco-friendly materials
- Expensive
A lot of phone cases are either ostentatious or clunky, and neither one is a good look for the conference table. The Peak Design Everyday Case is a subdued, understated look. It comes in three different colors, all of which are made either of 100% recycled canvas or engineered vegan leather microfiber. The case also comes with Peak Design's Slimlink system that takes advantage of stronger magnets to attach the case — securely — to compatible mounts, including some for motorcycles.
Most eco-friendly case for Pixel 9 Pro
Rhinoshield SolidSuit
- Works with wireless charging
- Made of recycled materials
- Drop resistant to 11 feet
- Has a bit of a minimalistic design
If you love nature and want to treat our environment with the most respect you can, the Rhinoshield SolidSuit is made of nearly 100% recycled materials. Even the packaging is recycled, and all the printing is done with soy ink. Despite that, the case is tough and rated up to U.S. military standards. It also has a patented feature called ShockSpread that helps distribute the force of an impact or drop.
