There’s good news if you’re searching for the best Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro cases. Once you find a case that’s well suited for one of Google’s new phones, it will also fit quite nicely on the other.

That’s because both the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro share a lot in common, including their size. Both phones have 6.3-inch screens and 6 x 2.8 x 0.3-inch frames; even the rounded-off camera bar on the backside of either device is the same. So a Pixel 9 case will fit a Pixel 9 Pro and vice versa.

Our Pixel 9 review found that Google’s entry-level phone packs the same AI features as the Pro model for a couple hundred dollars less. Meanwhile, our PIxel 9 Pro review raved about the telephoto lens performance, the bright display and the extended battery life. These are phones you’re going to want to keep around for a while. And Google’s seven year pledge for software and security support allows you to do that — if you keep your phone protected.

Fortunately, the best Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Fold cases we’ve found offer solid protection against dings, scratches, and drops with some extras like fold-out kickstands, interchangeable skin designs, and wireless charging compatibility. Here’s a selection of cases that work with either Pixel available at a wide range of prices.

What to look for in the best Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro cases

Before you buy, check that the case you are considering is designed specifically for the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro. The new Pixel 9 Pro XL is larger, so make sure you don’t select a case for this model on accident. 

You might also consider the following factors when choosing a Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro case:

  • Durability: Most cases are designed to save your phone from dings and scratches, but some will note specific drop protection — look for at least 4 feet, which should be the basic level of protection you need in the event that your Pixel falls out of your hands. If you plan to put your phone and its case through their paces, you may also consider the material’s durability. 
  • Price: Our Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro case recommendations cost anywhere from $15 to $65. Cheaper cases sometimes have fewer bells and whistles, but you don’t need to pay a premium for basic protection. 
  • Extra features: Your Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro case should hold up against daily wear at a minimum, but you may want extras like a kickstand for viewing content. Also note which cases support wireless charging, as it’s more convenient to leave your Pixel in the case when you go to charge it wirelessly.
  • Appearance: Some Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro cases add style to your device, while others have a more subtle design and/or a lower profile. Note that cases with more features or better drop protection are sometimes bulkier.
