Safe and stylish
Caseology Parallax
Staff pick
This mesmerizing case has protected my last two Pixels with grace, and the colorways for the Pixel 5 are quite fetching. The Aqua Green will fit the green Pixel 5 perfectly while Burgundy and Navy Blue jazz up the black Pixel 5.

Scratch protection
Anccer Colorful Series
This super slim Google Pixel 5 case won’t give you much drop protection, but it’ll add grip and a cool color while also protecting your new Pixel from scratches and scuffs.

Can’t beat a classic
Caseology Legion
This case is a lot more understated than the bold colors of the Parallax, but it will stand the test of time. Legion cases are some of Caseology’s most dependable and I’m grateful it’s available for the Pixel 5.

Want that mint green metallic sheen of your Pixel 5 on full display while still keeping it protected from dents and dings? TopACE’s clear case has you covered.

OtterBox Defender Series
OtterBox is the Kleenex of the phone case world for a reason: it’s darn good at protecting a phone through drops, falls, and the occasional throw. The Defender Series is the classic multi-layer OtterBox case, and this one even comes with a belt clip/kickstand.

Sustainable and biodegradable
Pela Eco-Friendly Phone Case
The Pixel 5 is Google’s most sustainably-made phone yet, so why would you undo all that work with a landfill-bound plastic case? These flexible, durable cases are biodegradable and sustainably made, and there are even charity-benefitting designs.
From $45 at Pela
Clearly protective
Ghostek Covert
Ghostek’s Google Pixel 5 case may be more translucent than transparent, but it still lets the Pixel branding shine through while protecting it from nasty drops and scrapes.

Grip without girth
Luibor Silicone
What this case lacks in fun colors it makes up for in grip and a slim profile. The diamond texture across the back should add grip no matter which way you hold it, and there’s also hatching across the sides.
$9 at Amazon
Keep it together
Haii Leather Wallet
Who needs to carry a separate wallet when there are great leather folios out there like this? Available in four colors, you can fit two cards plus cash inside the cover, which doubles as a kickstand.

What are the best cases for your Pixel 5?
The Google Pixel 5 is one of the best Android phones of the year and it deserves only the best cases to protect it. The Caseology Parallax, in particular, is an excellent Google Pixel 5 case because not only does it offer air cushion impact protection and a nice lip around the camera, it has undeniable style. Skip the boring black and get you something bold, like the gold-accented Navy Blue, and the Aqua Green with a green Pixel 5 will look killer!
If you need something a little slimmer we’d recommend the excellent Anccer Colorful Series, which comes in a black that matches the matte black Pixel 5 perfectly and a vivid blue for those of us who need something cooler. We’ll see more cases over the coming months, but with such great Google Pixel 5 cases available right now, why wait?
