Google’s newest Pixel 8 flagship phone is one of the most anticipated smartphones in North America this year, and if you finally got your hands on one, then hats off to you. With that being said though, the Pixel 8 is first and foremost an electronic device made with a decent serving of glass, meaning that it’s prone to damage.
That’s why we strongly recommend investing in a case for your smartphone, which adds some much-needed protection from unwanted damage, such as accidental knocks, drops and bumps. We’ve compiled a list of tough and durable cases which are designed to keep your Pixel 8 safe and sound, and ready for the seven years of updates from Google.
A staple of durable case lists, Spigen's Tough Armor series case for the Pixel 8 combines a tough polycarbonate shell with a more flexible TPU layer, reinforced with foam inserts that absorb shock in case you drop your phone. There's also a built-in kickstand for watching your favourite shows.
Built to be tough and grippy, the Caseology Athlex Case features a single layer design with a relative thickness to it, alongside a textured exterior surface that keeps it from slipping during handling.
The Mous Limitless 5.0 protects your Pixel 8 by combining Mous' own AiroShock technology with an Aramid fiber back, which wraps tightly around your phone thanks to a TPU frame. It's also lightweight without sacrificing protection.
The TUDIA DualShield Grip features a grippy rear panel that's also part of a dual-layer design, that's complemented by a flexible lining on the sides of the case for extra padding.
Last but not the least on this list is the POETIC Neon Series, which comes with a lightweight design that still manages to protect your Pixel 8 from damage. It's US MIL-STD drop tested, and made with a combo of flexible TPE and hard polycarbonate.
