The Google Pixel and Pixel XL are expensive phones, and you probably want to keep your shiny new one protected if you already have your hands on one. Google’s self-made silicone case is a great option for doing that — however there’s a problem. So far, the case has only been available in grey.

Today, however, that changes — now the case is available in grey, blue, green, peach, and coral, so you can keep your beautiful phone in a case that really helps it pop.

The cases are actually very nice. They’re lined with a microfiber that helps keep the phone protected from the outside world while ensuring that it doesn’t get any scratches or dents. Not only that, but they actually have a pretty premium feel — and, as the cases were designed by Google, they look like an extension of the phone itself. Last but not least, if you’re a Google fan you’ll like the Google branding on the case.

Of course, that Google branding doesn’t come cheap — if you’re on a budget you may be better served buying a Spigen case or one from another accessories maker, but sometimes that Google branding can be a nice touch to your Google-branded phone.

The Google Pixel and Pixel XL silicone cases are now available from the Google Store, and they cost $35 each. Head here to get the Google Pixel case, and here if you want the Google Pixel XL case.

If you’re shopping for a case and want something a little more flashy, Google also sells its “Live Case” for the Pixel and Pixel XL. What makes the Live Case special? You can customize it with a design of your choosing, making your Live Case different from every other phone case out there.

Here’s every color that will be available for the Google Pixel 8a

What is there left to say about the Google Pixel 8a at this point? We've seen the phone's design in numerous renders and hands-on photos, its specs are all but confirmed, and we have a good idea of when it'll be announced. Well, one of the phone's last remaining details has now just been spoiled: the colors in which it will be available.

On April 12, Android Headlines published multiple official-looking renders of the Pixel 8a. The renders confirm the phone's design, which we've been seeing for months, including its rounded corners and dual rear cameras. For the first time, though, these new renders reveal the official colors the Pixel 8a will come in. There are apparently four to look forward to, including Obsidian, Porcelain, Bay, and Mint.

5 phones you should buy instead of the Google Pixel 8

The Google Pixel 8 is a well-received Android-based smartphone. However, there are reasons why you might not choose it and opt for something else. Perhaps its 6.2-inch display does not meet your requirements, or its camera system does not match your expectations. It could also be possible that you would prefer a phone released in 2024 instead of one launched late last year.

If you’re not interested in buying the Google Pixel 8, several alternative phones may be more suitable for your needs. For instance, the Samsung Galaxy S24 has the same-sized display as the Pixel 8 but with better internals. Alternatively, you could consider the OnePlus 12R, which offers a bigger display and better internals at a lower price. And that's just scratching the surface.
