If you’re planning to buy the newly launched Google Pixel 8a or have pre-ordered the device and are awaiting its arrival, why not look at the best cases for it in the meantime? I mean, you would want to keep your new $499 phone as protected as possible (even if initially). Taking a deep dive into the sea of phone cases can be pretty frustrating, so we’ve handpicked the best Pixel 8a cases to save you the trouble.
1. Spigen Tough Armor Case
You can’t exactly go wrong with Spigen, given that they are the market leaders in the case category. The Spigen Tough Armor is easily one of the most durable Pixel 8a covers out there. From military-grade durability and an extra layer of shock resistance to raised ridges for safeguarding your screen and camera in case of accidental drops, everything’s going in your favor here.
Not to mention that there’s also a kickstand for, well, those snacking sessions to watch something alongside. There are two color options to choose from, with the Black variant usually being cheaper than the Metal Slate variant. The choice is yours.
2. Spigen Ultra Hybrid Transparent Case
Let’s say that you want your Pixel 8a’s Blue or Mint color to really shine. In that case, a transparent case is definitely the way to go. More so, as Spigen offers one as well. The best thing about Spigen’s Ultra Hybrid transparent case is that it has an anti-yellowing feature, thanks to blue resin infusion.
Most importantly, even the transparent casing comes with military-grade protection. The camera and display protection bumps are the cherry on top. So, if you are looking for a transparent Google Pixel 8a case, this is a great one to grab.
3. Caseology Athlex Case
If you’re as clumsy as me and drop your phone mysteriously out of nowhere, this case is going to be a lifesaver. This military-grade case from Caseology comes with a textured back with lines to provide some solid grip. Moreover, the case has also been drop-tested 26 times from a height of 4 feet to ensure that you get uncompromised durability.
Besides that, it will also elevate the in-hand feel of your device. Additionally, it comes with wireless charging compatibility. So, you don’t have to worry about that either. There’s a single Active Black colorway though, so there’s that. It is also climate-pledge friendly being made out of environment-friendly materials, if you want to do the planet a favor.
4. CusPra Holster Case
If you’re someone who wants to holster your phone to your belt and make your attire look cool (sort of), you can do that as well with this case, thanks to the presence of a belt clip. Even if you don’t, this holster case comes with some top-level protection for your Pixel 8a.
There are multiple shock-absorbing layers to prevent your phone from taking a direct hit. There’s also a 360-degree rotating kickstand along with a metal plate to attach the case to a magnetic car mount.
All of this while at the same time looking classy? An easy recommendation in my books. Besides, you also get the Black, Blue, and Silver colors to choose from.
5. Poetic Revolution Case
If you’re looking to buy a screen protector for your Pixel 8a, you won’t need to in this case. Yep, this case comes with an integrated screen guard. Most importantly, this built-in display protection also ensures your display stays free of fingerprints, which is very thoughtful.
This is a 20-foot Military Grade Drop Tested rugged case with raised edges we’re talking about here. Additionally, you also get an in-built kickstand to double your phone down as a mini entertainment companion. It comes in Black, Light Blue, and Light Pink color options.
6. SPIDERCASE Heavy-Duty Case
When talking about heavy-duty cases for the Pixel 8a, it won’t be fair to keep this option out of the picture. If some of the above-mentioned heavy-duty military-grade cases seem a tad too bulky for you, this one is the way to go for you.
This is much sleeker and with just two layers and still brings up to 10 feet of Military Grade Drop Protection to your phone. You also get 1.5mm of raised display and camera edges for additional drop protection. Moreover, this is a complete package, as you also get two screen protectors and camera lens protectors with the case. It can’t get any better than this, and $15.99 for all of this is a steal deal in all honesty.
7. Asdsinfor TPU Soft Case
If you prefer style over protection, rugged cases may not appeal to you. In that case, these soft TPU cases are the way to go. There are six different designs to choose from as well, which is great. These designs are printed on a transparent case, which makes it all the better.
However, it does offer a decent level of protection too, if not the best. Although you get a whole lot of aesthetics with these cases, they can protect your phone against bumps easily.
8. Natbok Case
Let’s say that you want something like the SPIDERCASE offering but are on a tighter budget, you can give this Natbox case a try. You don’t get any additional accessories here. But, you still get a highly durable case that comes with a brushed texture at the back for additional grip.
Your Pixel 8a will surely stay protected in this. However, like most of these rugged cases, it comes in a single Black color option.
9. Mavis’s Diary Case
Yep, diary cases are still trendy, mostly because of the immense utility they bring to the table. This is a solid diary case for your Pixel 8a, especially if you don’t like having to carry something like a wallet or a bag. It doubles down as those, providing several slots to keep your cards and cash.
Besides, it looks super classy, thanks to that leather all around. That in turn provides a decent level of protection to the phone inside as well. If you’re on the lookout for something like that, Mavis’s is easily one of the best cases. Not to mention that at under $10, it’s pretty economical too.
10. FNTCASE Hybrid Matte Case
Say you don’t want the bulk of an ultra-rugged case, the utility of a diary case, or the aesthetics of a printed case, and just need a sleek case that offers good protection, this case is it. This soft TPU case offers dual-layer military-grade protection against bumps and drops.
There’s also a 1.5mm lift at the front edges for display protection, and a 2mm lift around the camera module. Most importantly, you can choose from the Black, Blue, Burgundy Purple, and Green colors, which most of the armored cases don’t offer.
