Having trouble finding a good case for your new buds? Here are the best of bunch
The case on the Pixel Buds Pros, some of the best wireless earbuds around, is honestly quite addictive all on its own. During meetings, I’ll just be clicking that magnetic lid open and closed, and the slight softness of the case’s plastic brings such satisfaction. Unfortunately, all it takes to ruin this slick little white egg is one little tumble to the asphalt while you’re getting into your car, one little drop from your desk to that beautiful hardwood floor. To safeguard these comfy buds and their cradle, your earbuds deserve a case that adds grip or a built-in clip — or both — and we’ve gathered up the best Pixel Buds Pro cases that are still available today.

Spigen Rugged Armor for Pixel Buds Pro
Best overall
Spigen’s TPU case sports a classy, modern design aesthetic that’ll blend against any outfit or backpack. You’ll appreciate the case’s craftsmanship, including precisely cut access slots for your buds’ paring button and power level and a handy carabiner clip that wouldn’t look out of place inside a climber’s mountaineering pack. But the case’s most important detail is its construction. It’s made from meticulously crafted and virtually unbreakable carbon fiber.

Nomad Modern Leather Case for Pixel Buds Pro
Premium pick
An intriguing profile puts the Nomad into a unique category of its own. Its Horween leather exterior is vegetable-tanned and will develop a unique patina over time. This means that each Nomad earbud case is truly unique to its user. To bolster the protection level, this soft leather is reinforced by a tough polycarbonate shell and a microfiber lining. The case even features a handy light pipe and a lanyard attachment point.

Geiomoo Silicone Galaxy Buds Case
Best value
Without frills, the budget-friendly Geiomoo silicone shell is made from a soft, impact-absorbing material. It’s not rugged or constructed of stiff carbon fiber, yet its soft, yielding material will easily shrug off light scratches and minor drops. And the rubbery exterior is also naturally grippy; it won’t slip from a clumsy or sweaty hand. As for the lightweight carabiner, it’s wide enough to hook the tiny case to a belt loop or backpack strap.

Caseology Bumpy for Pixel Buds Pro
The Caseology Bumpy, made from tough, military-grade plastic, earns its name with its convenient sandstone finish; the textured surface increases grip. Joggers (sweaty hands and all) will be grateful for this grip-maximizing feature. Other than that, the quality TPU frame and clear body offer a build that’s rugged and undeniably attractive. A pleasingly solid carabiner also comes attached to further underscore the casing’s portability and outdoor functionality.

CaseBot Rugged Shield Case for Pixel Buds Pro
The CaseBot entry in this collection is made of rigid silicone (not as elastic as other silicone cases). So, this selection will offer improved drop resistance and protection from bumps and scratches. It’s also worth noting that the case has a hard exterior that wraps around the Pixel Buds to provide full coverage and an interior gel pad in the lid to help keep them in place during activities such as running or exercising.

Newseego Cute Silicone for Pixel Buds Pro
There used to be dozens of different styles of this silicone case with a silicone symbol, character, or logo adhered to the front, but most have sold out, especially ones with popular characters. That’s okay, though; between this ruby red strawberry or equally lighthearted avocado and teal, your cute case choices should be covered. The ring grip that comes with this case isn’t a hard D-ring, making it a bit easier to keep on at all times.

Spigen Ultra Hybrid for Pixel Buds Pro
The Spigen Ultra Hybrid boasts a flawless design with two crystal-clear halves made of scratch-resistant polycarbonate. It’s a design favored by those who love the egg-like white shell of their Pixel Buds Pro wireless charging cases. A soft TPU frame completes the attractive design. The included metal carabiner is wide and circular, too, to enhance that curvy aesthetic. Overall, it’s an eye-catching choice with tightly tailored cutouts.
-
Fintie Carrying Case for Pixel Buds Pro
Like a tiny suitcase, the Fintie unzips in the middle. A little mesh pocket is even built inside the top half of the hard EVA shell. Instead of tiny socks, however, the compartment will store a charging cable or earbud accessory. This case boasts a soft inner lining that delicately cradles the earbuds and charging case. Unfortunately, the included clip, although serviceable, falls short of delivering exceptional durability but can be easily replaced.
Where have all the good covers gone? A quest for proper Pixel Buds Pro cases
You’d think that one of the best wireless earbuds on the market would have an absolute feast of cases to choose from, but even a year and a half after its initial launch, the Pixel Buds Pro have significantly fewer case options compared to the Pixel Buds A-Series and semi-defective 2020 Pixel Buds. Google has changed case dimensions for each generation of Pixel Buds — unlike the standard-sized Samsung Galaxy Buds series and Apple’s AirPods and AirPods Pro series — and that combined with lower interest in previous models combined to dissuade many popular case makers from offering Pixel Buds Pro models.
Now, this isn’t to say there aren’t any high quality cases available. Spigen has two solid contenders, with Rugged Armor especially making a great all-round choice. Although not exactly fashionable, its carbon fiber shell and clean cutouts make for a fuss-free case-carrying experience that accommodates active users.
The Nomad Modern Leather Case offers similar features, topped off with a pinch of lavish style. And the case’s interior microfiber layer further assures the Pixel Buds Pro case is adequately stored. Still, it’s one of the few products in this collection that doesn’t offer a clip; instead, there’s an attachment for a lanyard, but it might swing awkwardly while you move or run.
Finally, the Geiomoo Silicone Case is the budget winner. It’s more of a skin than a protective shell, yet it’ll provide an adequate scratch shield. That low price tag is hard to ignore, and so is the handy little carabiner clip. (Just test it out first, as that lower price might be covering a less-than-solid clip build quality. The last thing you want to find at the end of an active run or hike is half a clip and no case.) Ultimately, the best Pixel Buds Pro case depends on preference; any entry on this list will do.
