The best Google Pixel 6 Pro cases in 2021

Spigen always makes great cases for brand new phones, and the Liquid Air is one of our favorites. Featuring a flexible, lightweight design, it fits perfectly over the already-large Pixel 6 Pro without adding much bulk. At just $16, this is an easy and inexpensive case to recommend to any new Pixel 6 Pro owner.

A great rugged option

Poetic’s Guardian series is a mainstay in the case world for good reason: it protects fragile phones very well without adding an uncomfortable amount of bulk. With the Pixel 6 Pro version, Poetic offers its reinforced plastic bumper in one of four colors — black, blue, green, or pink — with a clear back and an optional front screen protector. The company says it works with the Pixel 6 Pro’s optical fingerprint sensor, too, but you’ll need to make sure to install it properly for that. This is our pick for the best heavy-duty Pixel 6 Pro case. At $26, this is an affordable full-coverage option for your new phone.

The best fit

Cyrill’s Stone case for the Pixel 6 Pro is among the best TPU cases we’ve seen for the phone. Low-profile, with a matte finish in either grey or beige, the case surprised us with its quality. The real win comes from its price cutouts and grippy sides, reinforced with vertical lines that make the oversized phone easier to grip. At $18, this is a steal.

Most stylish option

Caseology is one of the most well-known case brands out there for a reason — it makes high-quality products at mass-market prices. The Vault case series for the Pixel 6 Pro starts at just $13 for the black version, increasing to $14 for the Sage Green colorway shown above, which is our favorite. The plastic on this one is a little less flexible than a typical TPU but it is easily put on and taken off the Pixel 6 while protecting the back and corners fairly well. You’re also getting a nice matte finish on the back and around the sides, and the diagonal line design around the camera housing is exactly what the Pixel 6 Pro’s honking camera bar needs to stand out just a bit more.

dbrand is a very loud, very confident company that also makes really good products. The Grip series of phone cases exists for iPhones, Galaxys, OnePlus phones, and Pixels, and the version for the Pixel 6 Pro is every bit as well-built, protective, and robust as its other models. It does add a fair amount of weight to the already-hefty phone, but it feels absolutely solid. At $40, the Grip isn’t cheap — and it’s currently on backorder, though still available to purchase — but that’s because it’s one of the best case options we’ve found for your new Pixel 6 Pro.

Best clear case

The Ringke Fusion series is well-known as an inexpensive but high-quality option for most new phones, and the version of the case for the Pixel 6 Pro is no exception. Transparent, which lets you see Google’s new all-glass phone in its full glory, the Fusion’s hard plastic wraps around the phone and provides a raised lip around the edges to prevent damage during face-on falls. It’s not the prettiest case around, and we find that clear cases require frequent cleanings to remove dust and pocket lint, but at $13 you can’t go wrong with this option.

I didn’t expect to like Spigen’s Rugged Armor case for the Pixel 6 Pro as much as I do, but it fits like an absolute glove and protects slightly better than the Liquid Air, which is our top pick overall. Unlike the slightly thicker Tough Armor, which includes a rigid plastic frame and a kickstand, you still get a protruding camera bump, but that tradeoff maintains the phone’s slim profile, which I enjoy. At $15.99, this is a great option for the person who wants the best of all worlds.

Best leather case option

Bellroy’s leather case for the Pixel 6 Pro continues the company’s tradition of developing decent-but-not-fantastic cases for the Pixel lineup. While this isn’t the best case for the Pixel 6 Pro, it is the best leather case right now, even at its pricey $59 MSRP. My biggest issue with the Bellroy leather case is its fit — it isn’t as snug as I would like, which makes pressing the power and volume buttons a little harder than on other plastic cases. Others I spoke to don’t have this issue, though, so your mileage may vary. The good news is that the rest of the case is very well made, and in my couple weeks with the case on my Pixel 6 Pro, it’s started developing the faintest hint of a patina. This year’s model comes with five color options, including black, grey, blue, and two shades of brown — the one pictured above is “Terracotta,” which I prefer over the lighter “Biscotti” variant.
