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.

  • 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 for Google Pixel 7 front, back, and front covers.

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.

Motorola Moto G Pure (Tracfone) -- $50, was $60

The low price of the Motorola Moto G Pure doesn't mean that it's an unreliable smartphone, as it offers a surprisingly decent 13MP camera for an entry-level model for daytime shots, in addition to a nice water-repellent design. The device is powered by an octa-core processor with HyperEngine, offers storage of 32GB, and comes with Android 11.0 out of the box, but it will only work with a Tracfone prepaid plan.

Pixel 7a lying on leaves.

The Google Pixel lineup of phones is likely the best Android phones on the market, which isn't surprising considering that Google created Android in the first place, so they know how to utilize it best. Much like other manufacturers, Google has phones in various budget ranges, and the one that sits right in the middle is the Pixel 7, which is a great choice if you don't need a flagship, but don't want a budget phone.
