Hi folks, I just picked up a Pixel 8 Pro on an early black Friday deal. I’ve had my previous OnePlus 9 for way longer than the average timeframe and the same with my Oneplus 6 before that.
Looking at cases, I noticed I recognize very few of the manufacturers, basically just Otterbox and Spigen.
If you gravitate towards a particular case manufacturer, I would love to know:
Who makes the best phone cases in 2024?
No limits on style or form, but I don’t need rhinestone bling or anything like that.

spigen is what I have on my Pixel 8, dropped it several times and never broke or anything.
Dbrand imo. But not if you like wallets and stuff attached.
I’ve been using a dbrand case for around a year. I like it.
Unlike the other commenter, I do occasionally take the case off. I’ve noticed no ill effects.
I love my Grip case. Love being able to occasionally reskin it to get a “new” case.
Their subreddit gives the impression their build quality is shit, but I’ve noticed a lot of people with problems saying “I’ve only taken the case off a handful of times” or “I usually swap cases every few weeks, but I noticed…”
Like, surely just put the case on the phone until it wears out? For protection? Rather than prising it off and being surprised when it loses its strength? I dunno, each to their own I guess. 😅
Dbrand grip. Thing is amazing. Had them on my last 3 phones. Look great and drop proof
I don’t know if they make one for the pixel series but I have had Rokform for multiple generations of phones and they have been stellar protection. They also have magnets in them so you can just stick your phone to stuff, which comes in handy. They also have a twist lock for mounting it to things like a dash mount or handlebar mounts.
I just skipped the case and bought a rugged phone, Armor 21 from Ulefone was my choice for various reasons (speaker, night vision, water resistance and endoscope to name a few), but there are plenty of good ones.
I have been using Rokform. On the pricey side, but very rugged and the mount system is very versitile. I love the built-in niodymium magnet. Anything metal is my mount.
Oh wow, those do look good. Sadly just Apple/Samsung. I’d worry that I’d forget the magnet and set my phone on top of an external hard drive or something.
I’ve had pixels since the Nexus 5 and I used to have some sort of Caseology or speck case on them, but in my opinion nothing tops the Spigen rugged armor case for pixels.
I’ve also tried Crave and Otterbox variants; but the rugged armor is my go to for a no frills, extra grippy, pretty thin case. It’s currently 15 USD if you have prime.
I use Spigen since more than 10 years and it never failed on me, although I’m a pretty clumsy person
My gotos for the last 3 years have been Spigen Ringke and Nilkin.
Really like the art options with Casely.
I have a ringke fusion X for xiaomi mi 10 and after 4years it started breaking down. It has saved my phone from many falls (I dont have a screen protector, because the case pops it off😅).
For a little while they had stopped producing cases for my model, but now I saw that they returned and got a pair for future proofing.
Personal opinion, but that case is UGLY! It does look like it would save your phone from several falls though, so that’s good. Thanks for sharing, I had never heard of Ringke.
Hahahaha, oke oke💀💀
I really liked the green/transparent combo, people have even commented on my case, cuz it matched my outfit.😆 (Over time that translucent green becomes dark, less-transparent green, something closer to the black frame variant, but still looks good for me lol.)
Btw, this is the model variant I'm talking about:

Okay, fair enough. It looks much better in that picture and it does compliment the sheen on the back grass nicely.
I’m still using my old pixel 4 because I love it’s fabric case and the official cases for new pixels look so bad. Are there any third party cases that as nice to the touch as old fabric cases?
