Best Google Pixel 6 cases 2022 - ART OF DIVINE MERCURY

The regular Google Pixel 6 was the only one to get actual color options and not just metallic shades, and we deserve to flaunt those fun colors and bold accents around that eye-catching camera bar stretching across the back. This is one of the best Android phones with half a decade of updates ahead of it, and if you want your new phone to last that long, you need to grab one of the best Pixel 6 cases you can.

Tough and translucent

This clear cover is the ultimate antithesis of the first-party transparent Google Pixel 6 case: it’s rugged, re-enforced in the corners, and heavily protects both the screen and camera module. The corners are lined with impact-absorbing gel, and the red matches well with the Kinda Coral colorway. The Sorta Pink also amplifies the Coral’s feminine hues, but Cloudy Clear is the clear favorite.

The best Pixel 6 cases focus on the camera

The Pixel 6’s camera bar may look a little bit Cylon — especially with that bright red accent on the Kinda Coral — but that camera bar also makes it easier to help tell durable from thin cases and also helps separate the good from the bad.

For instance, the Caseology Parallax has a thicker bumper around the camera module and a thicker raised lip around the cameras themselves. It completely covers the sides and the sharp top/bottom edges so that the camera module won’t catch on an edge and break during a fall. By contrast, Google’s official, transparent Google Pixel 6 Case also has a lip on the top and bottom edges, but Google leaves the sides of the camera bar exposed, and the frosted texture is way too slippery, leaving your phone susceptible to drops, scrapes, and other damage.

Google’s case is more true to the brand’s style, but Caseology offers much more protection. Other Pixel 6 phone covers split the difference with a raised lip around the entire edge, but no sloped curves, as we see on the thin and well-textured Spigen Liquid Air Armor. And, of course, all the best heavy-duty Pixel 6 cases are thicker on the back, so the camera bump doesn’t seem any thicker than other phones. It’s all a matter of which style and level of protection suits you. Between that blue-green Cosmo Series, myriad-colored Soft Slim, and the tall, dark, and handsome Parallax, there are plenty of ways to jazz up your colorful new Pixel 6.

Oh, and if you’re wondering where Google’s first-party case is, well, the texture experience doesn’t quite match up with its high price tag, so it’s not making the list this year. However, you can get better clear cases — matte or transparent — for half the price, so the only compelling reason left to buy it would be if you want that soft glowing pink. If you’re after that, I recommend checking out a brand called Ghostek; pink is one of their steadfast colors.
