Hi folks, I just picked up a Pixel 8 Pro on an early black Friday deal. I’ve had my previous OnePlus 9 for way longer than the average timeframe and the same with my Oneplus 6 before that.
Looking at cases, I noticed I recognize very few of the manufacturers, basically just Otterbox and Spigen.
If you gravitate towards a particular case manufacturer, I would love to know:
Who makes the best phone cases in 2024?
No limits on style or form, but I don’t need rhinestone bling or anything like that.
It’s somewhere in the middle. I wouldn’t call it grippy but it’s not slippery either. It’s much more grippy than the phone itself for sure.
I tend to drop my phone more often then I’d like. The corners of the case did get scuffed from heavier drops. You can see the carbon-fiber-esque material revealing a stronger plastic beneath but there is no structural damage to the case and it has protected the phone. In my case with the S23 ultra the side rails could be better protected, that’s the only visible damage on the phone itself. The anodised metal has a bit of scuffing from a drop. I do use a screen protector which has also taken its fair share of abuse.
Compared to how thin and light it is, I’m quite happy with the setup. Of course something like an otterbox is gonna give more protection, but won’t be as sleek and nice.
