Google just announced its latest arsenal against the iPhones during today’s Made By Google event. During the announcement, the company showed off the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, and Pixel 9 Pro Fold. If you’re looking to pick up one of these phones, you’re going to want to pick up some protection. Well, UAG just released a bunch of Pixel 9 cases that will keep your phone protected.
The Pixel 9 phones are a bit pricey this time around, but you’re not going to want to pay full price for them. This is why carriers are offering some sweet discounts on these devices. There are some great deals for T-Mobile customers along with AT&T and Verizon customers. You can get hundreds of dollars off of your purchase.
Also, if you want to know about the other devices announced today, you can check out our coverage of them. These are the Pixel Watch 3 and the Pixel Buds Pro 2. These all bring some significant improvements over their respective predecessors.
UAG just announced a bunch of cases for the Pixel 9 phones
The Pixel 9 phones are pretty sturdy devices, but you can’t argue with the added protection of a case. UAG is a company that makes some high-quality cases, so you know that your phone is in good hands when in one of its cases. Here’s a rundown of the cases that the company is offering.
All of these cases are for the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL. One case is for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, and that one will be indicated.
Pathfinder
This first case is a sandwich of both hard and soft materials that work together to keep your phone protected. The Pathfinder is a tank of a case that comes in at $44.95. There’s a tough TPU outer shell that protects the phone from the impact of a fall. Also, there’s a soft internal layer that hugs the phone and absorbs additional shock.
The Pathfinder has a rugged TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane)frame that protects the sides and corners of the phone. These are some of the more sensitive parts of the phone. While this is a tank of a case, it’s still lightweight.
Pathfinder Pro
This case has a similar design mentality to the non-pro version, but it has some additional perks. For starters, there’s a hex pattern on the back that adds to the overall protection.
Another perk of this case is the magnetic ring. There’s a ring on the back that makes it compatible with MagSafe accessories. This includes wireless chargers and stands. These are great additions to the case, and they make it worth the $54.95.
Plyo
The Google Pixel 9 devices are sporting a new design, they’re beautiful-looking devices. If you don’t want to cover up that design, the Plyo is the case for you. This is a clear case that shows off the design of the Pixel 9 phones.
It’s a crystal-clear case that’s made from high-quality yet lightweight TPU material. It’s flexible enough to absorb a ton of the shock from a fall. The TPU surrounds the edges of the phone and makes sure that side falls don’t damage the phone. As for the back, there’s a PC (polycarbonate) backplate. This is more rigid, so it will protect the back.
The Pixel 9 devices come in some nice colors, and the Plyo case will be able to properly showcase those beautiful colors. At $39.95, it’s well worth the money.
Plyo Pro
Here’s another Pro case. Just like with the standard Plyo, it’s made from crystal-clear materials that let the Pixel 9’s design shine through. The difference between the standard and the Pro is the hexagon on the back plate. This one, just like the Pathfinder Pro, is compatible with MagSafe accessories. This makes it worth the $49.95 price tag.
Scout
Sometimes, you just want a simple and straightforward case that keeps your phone safe. The Scout is a no-nonsense case that covers the phone. It’s crafted from strong TPU, so it will be able to take several tumbles without showing any kind of wear or tear. There are chamfered corners that help protect the phone’s screen during a corner fall.
What’s neat is that there’s a raised lip on the back that protects the camera package. The cameras stick out pretty far from the phone, so it’s pretty vulnerable. It’s a pretty simple case, and the price of $29.95 is reasonable.
Glass Shield Screen Protector
It’s not just about the case; you also want to make sure that you have a good screen protector. When your phone falls on its screen, the screen protector will break while sparing your screen.
UAG has a screen protector made from strong tempered glass. It’s designed to keep your phone screen protected while ensuring ultimate clarity. You won’t have to worry about the extra layer of glass having an effect on the visibility. Also, you won’t have to worry about the glass getting in the way of the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.
Coming in at $34.99, this screen protector is well worth the price.
Plyo for Pixel 9 Pro Fold
This case brings some of the same clarity you get from the other Plyo cases. However, there’s a border that runs around the phone itself that protects the sides and the screen. The price of $59.99 is up there, but it’s well worth it to keep this masterpiece of a phone safe.
You can buy these cases now, and they will start shipping in September.
