If You've Picked Up a Pixel 8 or a Pixel 8 Pro, It's Time to Accessorize
If you just picked up a pixel 8 or a pixel 8 Pro, there's a good chance you're ready to do some accessorizing after all. If you're going to spend that much money into a phone, you want to be able to protect it. Screen protectors are about a dime a dozen, and all you really have to do is choose plastic or glass. But when it comes to cases, there's not much better place to start than with Google itself.
They offer both just about the same in terms of using the same slightly flexible material. They have microfiber lining and they use recycled aluminum on both the buttons and the g logo on the back. The only difference is the pixel 8 has a slightly smaller forehead above the camera bar, where the pixel 8 Pro has a much larger forehead above the camera bar. This means you get a little bit of extra protection up there, but otherwise it's about the same.
The good news about Google's in-house cases is that they both use the same flexible polycarbonate material. This means they have a little bit of a Bend to them, but it also means that it's pretty easy to get them on and off your pixel 8 or pixel 8 Pro. Just in case you would scratch your case or you just want to decide to switch up the colors, it's a great option. Perhaps the only other noticeable change in the designs is that the microphone holes that are on the top Edge are on the opposite side. On the pixel 8, they're sitting on the left, and on the pixel 8 Pro, they're sitting on the right. Otherwise, they're just about identical.
Another benefit to going directly from Google is that nobody's had more time to fine-tune their case design based on the phone itself than the makers of the pixel. This means that Google has every Last Detail thought out. Instead of using cutouts around the buttons, it knows exactly how to mold them and make sure that they can be tactile and clicky as long as you have your phone.
The other benefit to Google being in charge of its design every step of the way is the in-house Google pixel case comes with the best color options. You're going to find no matter which way you go, you can choose from mint rose and charcoal, with coral as a Google Store exclusive. However, if you go pixel 8, you have the option of Hazel to match the Hazel pixel 8, or if you go pixel 8 Pro, you have the option of bay to match the new blue pixel 8 Pro. Both cases cost $34.99, so it's not like you're really sacrificing or spending extra depending which way you go. The real difference comes down to what colors you prefer. Whether you want that pixel the Google Store exclusive Coral or if you want to match the colors perfectly, it ultimately depends on your personal preference.
