The best Google Pixel 7 Pro cases in 2022

Staff pick

The Nano Pop’s two-tone colorways may not perfectly match the Pixel 7 Pro’s unique Hazel option, but it brings plenty of style all its own. That’s perfect for people like me who don’t quite get the appeal of the Hazel but want more color than Charcoal or Snow. While the bumpers of the Nano Pop may seem perfectly smooth, there’s actually very subtle texturing across the lower part of the sides for a more secure grip.

Value pick

If you’re all about that Hazel, the best slim, clear case to show it off is, without a doubt, the Ringke Fusion. The polycarbonate back adds stability and durability, while flexible TPU bumpers and corner cushions help absorb impacts and grip the 7 Pro’s edges better. If you’re more after Google’s first-party cases’ frosted looks, this Matte Clear version offers it in spades while still protecting your Pixel much better than Google’s case. If you prefer Crystal Clear, Ringke has that option, too.

Premium pick

Dbrand’s Grip cases are gaining a reputation for being among the most durable and versatile options for phone buyers today, and the Pixel 7 Pro version is no exception. Launched alongside the company’s new Digital Camo line, including the Glitch Camo skin seen here (though you can choose any skin from the company’s lineup), the Grip case is low-profile, protective, and genuinely worth the premium cost. And the Grip name actually does what it says on the tin: it makes it less likely you’ll drop the phone you just spent nearly $900 on.

The Kleenex of the case world, Otterbox is synonymous with durability and longevity. So, if you want a case to keep that Hazel cuter safe for the next five years, the Otterbox Defender Series. While we don’t have an abundance of color options here, the “Blue Suede Shoes” with its dark Dijon mustard yellow accents looks absolutely wonderful. Getting this Pixel 7 Pro case locked in place around your new phone may take a little elbow grease, but once it’s in, it’s not going anywhere.

One of Spigen’s most iconic and trusted designs, the Rugged Armor adds just enough grip and durability while keeping your Pixel 7 Pro as slim as feasible. The classic carbon fiber accents are still around the bottom for a smooth feel and some variety, while striped accents across the camera bar both add grip and help obscure its bump. You still get a slim but crucial lip around the camera sensors and the touchscreen, and air cushions across the interior should help it survive small stumbles.

This clear case knows how to take a beating, and the Poetic Guardian’s unique accent colors help add some flair to the Snow and Obsidian Pixel 7 Pro. The black bumper and accented edges of the clear back panel can add a pop of neon blue, green, or pink, or another ring of silver to let that shiny camera shine even more. This Pixel 7 Pro case comes with two front frames: one with a screen protector and one without.

If you prefer to kick it old school when it comes to phone protection — if newer, fancier designs just feel awkward to your hands — Tudia’s Merge Series offers up the retro two-layer support your Pixel 7 prefers. We’re getting more colors this year and some very subtle sculpting of the sides for added grip on the 7 Pro’s curvy edges, but the solid build quality feels excellent in hand and will hold up for years to come.

The Pixel 7 Pro’s frame and camera bar are just so incredibly shiny that they can be downright distracting, so I’m grateful to cases like the Evunnbc that cover as much of it as possible. Not only will it hide any scratches your 7 Pro may pick up, but you also won’t have to worry about blinding family members or messing up photos with that bar’s crazy light reflection. The bumper comes pink, blue, black, and clear — though clear somewhat defeats the purpose.

Urban Armor Gear has been kind of stingy with colors when it comes to Pixel phones since the Pixel 4, but this year it’s giving us a choice other than black. Calling it Olive Drab isn’t doing it any favors, but the forest green here pairs excellently with all three frame colors for the Pixel 7 Pro. Of course, black goes with everything. UAG’s trademark honeycomb air cushioning is concealed inside, and the slight curvature to the back helps ground the Pixel 7 Pro better in your hand.

If you wished we’d had a little more color in our Pixel 7 Pro options besides green — I would kill for another bold blue Pixel — then this affordable two-piece case can add some cool hues and 10-foot drop resistance. The blue and green look fetching, but the Purple, with its soft gray inner sleeve and silver buttons, is just darling. The back’s texture can be a bit of a “love it or hate it” situation, but the faux woven pattern of it reminds me of when Pixels still had those lovely fabric cases.
