Hi folks, I just picked up a Pixel 8 Pro on an early black Friday deal. I’ve had my previous OnePlus 9 for way longer than the average timeframe and the same with my Oneplus 6 before that.

Looking at cases, I noticed I recognize very few of the manufacturers, basically just Otterbox and Spigen.

If you gravitate towards a particular case manufacturer, I would love to know:

Who makes the best phone cases in 2024?

No limits on style or form, but I don’t need rhinestone bling or anything like that.

      I’ve been using a dbrand case for around a year. I like it.

      Unlike the other commenter, I do occasionally take the case off. I’ve noticed no ill effects.

      I love my Grip case. Love being able to occasionally reskin it to get a “new” case.

      Their subreddit gives the impression their build quality is shit, but I’ve noticed a lot of people with problems saying “I’ve only taken the case off a handful of times” or “I usually swap cases every few weeks, but I noticed…”

      Like, surely just put the case on the phone until it wears out? For protection? Rather than prising it off and being surprised when it loses its strength? I dunno, each to their own I guess. 😅

    I don’t know if they make one for the pixel series but I have had Rokform for multiple generations of phones and they have been stellar protection. They also have magnets in them so you can just stick your phone to stuff, which comes in handy. They also have a twist lock for mounting it to things like a dash mount or handlebar mounts.

    I have been using Rokform. On the pricey side, but very rugged and the mount system is very versitile. I love the built-in niodymium magnet. Anything metal is my mount.

    I’ve had pixels since the Nexus 5 and I used to have some sort of Caseology or speck case on them, but in my opinion nothing tops the Spigen rugged armor case for pixels.

    I’ve also tried Crave and Otterbox variants; but the rugged armor is my go to for a no frills, extra grippy, pretty thin case. It’s currently 15 USD if you have prime.
