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.
I had OtterBox for a while until I found SupCase’s Beetle Defender. It’s the same style case as an OtterBox, but better quality and cheaper. My OtterBox cases would get all stretched out and stop really fitting my phone. Haven’t had a single problem with the SupCase cases, and I’ve had them on the last 3 phones I’ve owned.
They’re super durable. Unless you drop the phone screen down on a pointy rock or something, it won’t be hurt. I could throw my phone through a plaster wall and it would be fine.
spigen is what I have on my Pixel 8, dropped it several times and never broke or anything.
My last three phone cases have been Spigen. Won’t be considering changing any time soon.
I always get a Spigen with a kickstand.
Spigen all the way from my Samsung S2 to my current S24. Solid.
I’ve had several Spigen cases for my Pixels and the only thing I don’t like is there isn’t a cover for the USB port so it slowly fills with lint until your charger won’t stay connected.
I agree, but you can get standalone silicon port covers pretty cheaply, with the bonus that you can use them in other devices too.
I’ve yet to find a nice comparison chart between the different series they have (rugged/tough/slim) to know which is which, but the majority of my phones have had something by them.
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.
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.
As an avid dbrand fan, their grip case for the Pixel 9 Pro was disappointing. The plastic around the USB port is super brittle and broke after less than a week. Now the bottom is deformed and I’m waiting on a reply to my support ticket before I find an alternate case and kiss my skin goodbye
Damn,I got a z fold 5 grip that is absolutely impeccable. I’ve dropped it countless times and its fine.
Yeah I was surprised. I’m hoping it was a manufacturing defect and assuming they replace it it doesn’t happen again. If they don’t replace it though I have to stick to my convictions.
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
They’re expensive, but I’ve been using Mous cases on my last couple of phones, including my Pixel 7.
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 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.
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.
Really like the art options with Casely.
