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.

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.

Best premium

$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.
