One of the most head-spinning aspects about buying a new smartphone is choosing the right case to keep it safe. The Google Pixel 7, fresh off the assembly line, is no exception. When choosing a case, be sure to take your lifestyle into consideration. Generally, you'll try to balance protection with a slim form factor that does not add bulk or weight to your phone. If you're into active sports, hiking, or cycling, you might consider a more rugged case that offers extra protection against drops and impact.

If you mainly move your smartphone out of the house for routine shopping, walks around the neighborhood, and commuting to the office, a lighter and less obtrusive case might be more appropriate. Don't forget about style. Perhaps you love the color and exterior look of your phone so much that you're loath to cover it but rather prefer a transparent case. Or conversely, you may seek a decorative or eye-popping design. All those options are available by themselves or in combination. We've chosen a few cases from our favorite brands to help you get started.

It's tested to sustain four times the number of drops as military standard MIL-STD-810G 516.6 and features a rugged, multilayer design with port covers. It works with both Qi charging and MagSafe wireless chargers (with no magnets in the case). The included holster serves as either a belt clip or kickstand.

Pros
  • 16-foot drop protection
  • Biodegradable

Cons
  • Expensive

Tech21's Evo case is constructed with its FlexShock impact material for a super durable cover that offers 16-foot multi-drop protection, enhanced camera protection, and interchangeable colored buttons.

Poetic Revolution Series Case

Pros
  • Protects drops up to 20 feet
  • Covered ports
  • Built-in screen protector options
Cons
  • May be a bit thick

Poetic Revolution is designed as a rugged polycarbonate case for your smartphone. It features specific textures for balance and focuses on ergonomics as its main design feature. Side textures enhance the grip to reduce dropping, but the case protects your phone from accidental damage for up to 20 feet. Raised beveled supports on the corner create a cushion to prevent shock and impact. All ports are covered by a plug design that prevents dust from entering. Its built-in screen protector works with fingerprint ID, and a built-in pull-out kickstand facilitates hands-free viewing. For those who don't like built-in screen protectors, Poetic has included an extra front frame to use with your own tempered glass. It comes in black, light blue, and pink.

Phone deals feel extra sweet when they involve a discount on an already great value phone. That’s the case with the Google Pixel 7a which is currently on sale at Amazon for just $349. Usually priced at $499, it’s even better value while it’s $150 off. It’s unlikely to stay this price for too long and it’s already proving popular, so if you want to get in on the action, do so now.
