The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL is the new big boy in Google’s lineup, combining Google’s former “XL” nomenclature with its newer “Pro” scheme. If you don’t care for the foldable thing, this is the best phone that you can get with the Google branding on it.
If you’re going to get one of these though, you’re going to need to hand over a lot of money (though there are fortunately a lot of great deals available at the moment). If you buy a phone that costs that much, you’ll find it’ll be a very good idea to protect it with a solid case. We’ve talked about cases for the smaller Pixels, and here it is for the big one.
Spigen Enzo Aramid
$34.99
This is one of the more expensive Spigen cases out there (most cost half of this one) but it is definitely more premium than the others, so you get what you pay for. You get an aramid mesh on most of the back panel for a sporty carbon fiber finish and extra durability. Plus, that silvered Spigen logo at the bottom looks good too.
Mous Limitless 5.0 (Magnetic)
$69.99
As far as cases go, this costs a lot. However, if you want a case that stands out, this Mous case does that. You can get it with black leather, bamboo, walnut, carbon fiber, and other premium materials for most of the back panel. Plus, it comes with a magnetic ring built-in and out of sight to make it compatible with MagSafe accessories.
Ringke Onyx
$15.99
The Ringke Onyx case is a very simple silicone case that focuses on protection and great grip. The entire back panel has a nice rough texture to it, and the sides are grippy too. It even comes with a lanyard hole — Ringke has eliminated all your excuses for dropping this phone. Plus, it doesn’t look shabby on top of all of that.
Urban Armor Gear Scout
$29.95
If you’re not into all the “pretty boy” cases and simply demand a case that’s functional and will do its job, the UAG Scout fits those criteria. It meets military standards and has a plain black design with grippy edges to keep it in your hands at all times. Despite its thickness, its compatible with wireless charging too.
OtterBox Symmetry
$49.95
OtterBox is one of the best-known names when it comes to smartphone cases, particularly when you’re in need of great protection and nothing else. However, OtterBox doesn’t just make bland protective cases anymore. Now, you can get their protection in the form of a clear case that shows your phone’s natural good looks. You can’t hate that.
Spigen Tough Armor
$18.99
I love Spigen and its Tough Armor case does a lot of what it should do. It’s a two-layer case that uses silicone directly around the device and then wraps a plastic shell around that, leaving silicone exposed on the top and bottom to absorb impact. Plus, the case comes with a low-profile kickstand built-in, for extra function.
Caseology Nano Pop
$18.99
Cases can protect your smartphone yet still be fun, and that’s what the Caseology Nano Pop is here for. This silicone case comes with a main color and an accent — for instance, Blueberry Navy is navy blue with bright yellow accents, and it looks pretty good. It doesn’t add much bulk to your device either, while still giving military-grade protection.
OtterBox Commuter Series Lite
$39.95
If you want that classic OtterBox protection while keeping your device stealthy, the OtterBox Commuter is the case for you. There’s an internal rubber sleeve around your phone and then a hard shell around that. If you know your phone kisses the ground at least once a week, this case exceeds military standards three times over, so this might be a match made in heaven for you.
Pick A Shell To Protect Your Pixel
The last thing you’d want is for your brand-new Google Pixel 9 Pro XL to have that hideous spiderweb pattern reach across its screen or back panel. A proper case can help you stave off that possibility.
The Spigen Enzo Aramid case might set you back more than a typical Spigen case, but it looks fantastic in the process and offers the same protection you’ve always been used to. After that, I’m a big fan of the OtterBox Commuter, because despite the bulk it adds to your device, you’re assured of high-end protection.
