Choosing a phone case can be overwhelming. The good news is that it’s not difficult to find Pixel phone covers, given its big brand name. This means you will find a wide range of options for phone cases for Google Pixel, not just in i-Blason but in other stores as well.

This phone case guide is here to help by breaking down all the key factors to consider. We’ll talk about protection, design, compatibility, accessibility, and more. Read on to find out how to keep your phone well-protected with the most suitable phone cover.

What’s Your Lifestyle?

Your lifestyle is a big factor when deciding on a phone case since your habits and daily activities will affect the risk of damage to your device. It can also tell you what additional functionality you might need with your phone case.

You’re Always on the Go

So, when looking for a phone cover, think about whether you lead an active lifestyle, i.e., work outdoors, hike or bike, or travel a lot. In that case, you need cute but durable phone cases that can withstand drops, impacts, and exposure to elements.

You’re an Indoors-y Person

If you spend most of your time indoors, you might not need a heavy-duty, rugged case. It’s the same if you’re the type to be very careful with your phone. In this case, a slim or basic but stylish phone case like the Marble Pink Cosmo Case for your Google Pixel 5.

You Have a Physical Job or an Office Job

Your work environment is also a factor to consider when looking for a phone case for your Google Pixel, Samsung, or iPhone device. People who work in warehousing, construction, or similar physical jobs would want a phone cover with military-grade protection.

On the other hand, military-grade protection or reinforced corners aren’t essential if you work in a desk-based environment. You’re less likely to encounter rough conditions in an environment this way, so a silicone or stylish leather-type case is often enough.

You’re Fashion-Conscious

Some people prioritize aesthetics when it comes to their phone cases, wanting to ensure their phone matches their style. Professionals are also particular when it comes to the design and style of their Google Pixel accessories.

Well, if you’re fashion-conscious, you might prefer slim, attractive cases or designer ones that complement your accessories or outfits. On the other hand, sleek, minimal designs and some leather cases would be great if you want a more refined appearance.

Now, these are only some things about your lifestyle to consider when looking for the right Google Pixel phone case. Other things to factor in include your budget and if there are certain features you want included in your phone cover. 

On that note, we’ll delve into the extra features in the next part of this article. 

What Are the Features Are You Looking For?

Not all Google Pixel phone cases are the same. They’re made of different materials, designs, functional features, grip, fit, and accessibility. We’ll help you pick a choice by narrowing down the options with the following features to look for in a phone case:

Material

Google Pixel, iPhone, or even Samsung phone cases are made of different materials that include hard plastic, silicone or TPU, leather, and some combination.

Silicone or TPU

Most phone covers today are made of silicone or TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane). Both make flexible, lightweight phone cases with decent grip, but they generally only offer basic protection.

Hard Plastic

Cases made of hard plastic are usually slim and sleek. This material provides excellent scratch resistance but doesn’t absorb impact well. If you’re not concerned about drops or are generally more careful, phone cases of this might work for you.

Besides plastic, TPU, or silicone cases, you’ll also find leather (for a more premium and stylish look and feel) and hybrid ones (TPU/rubber combined with hard plastic for enhanced protection).

Level of Protection

We mentioned you can find basic phone covers, which protect your phone from minor scratches and occasional drops. They’re mostly cases made from silicone, TPU, or hard plastic. Hybrid cases that combine one or two materials provide more heavy-duty protection.

At i-Blason, most phone cases are a mix of polycarbonate and TPU. These cases protect your device from a drop of up to 20 feet. We also have military-grade or heavy-duty covers for Google Pixel, like the Clayco Google Pixel 6A Cache Shock-Absorption Wallet Case.

You can also choose phone cases with dustproof protection or water resistance. These are great when you’re often in places with sand, dust, or water, keeping your Google Pixel safe from dirt and water damage.

Aesthetics and Design

When it comes to aesthetics and design, you have plenty of options. In our case, you will find several stylish Google Pixel phone cases we’re sure will tickle your fancy. But generally, some of the most common designs you’ll find are:

  • • Clear cases
  • • Colored cases
  • • Patterned cases
  • • Customizable cases
  • The choice depends mainly on your preference so our advice is to shop around to see what’s there in store for you. Try checking out our website as well to see the various cute but durable phone cases for Google Pixel that we have.

    Grip and Comfort

    You want to pick a Google Pixel phone case that feels good in your hands, so comfort is another factor to consider. You might also want a phone case that offers better grip, like having ridges on its sides, to help keep your phone from accidentally slipping off your hands.

    Other Functional Features

    If you like some extra, consider these functional features when looking for your Pixel phone case:

  • • Built-in kickstand
  • • Belt clip
  • • Wallet cases
  • • Build-in magnets
  • • Wireless charging compatibility
  • Fit and Accessibility

    This is given, but make sure your choice of phone case fits your specific Google Pixel. Compare and check that the phone case fits all the ports, sensors, buttons, and cameras of your phone. Also, make sure they are accessible and work well on your device.
