If you’ve bought a new Pixel 9 phone and one of Google’s official cases, you may wish you had turned to a third-party seller for the case. According to one Pixel 9 Pro XL owner, he spent $35 to buy one of Google’s touted cases. When he first received the case, his first impression was that while the accessory was quite expensive, it had a premium “fit and finish” and was of high quality.
A week later, pictures of the suitcase show that one of the corners is torn and falling apart. What the Pixel 9 Pro The owner discovered through the crack that the case is made of plastic with a very thin layer of silicone on the inside. He originally thought that the case was made entirely of silicone, which might hold up better than the plastic on the outside of the case.
There is a mystery here. The disappointed Pixel 9 Pro The owner says he never dropped the phone and the only explanation he can think of is that he frequently put the phone in and out of his back pocket. But even he thinks that’s an exaggeration. He plans to replace the case with a new one and hopes his experience is due to a material defect.
Other commenters on the social media site shared their experiences. “Every Google case I’ve ever gotten has been crap. I don’t know why a cheap Amazon case is always better than them,” said one. Another subscriber to the site wrote, “Every Pixel case I’ve ever gotten has had quality issues since the 6. They’re the best. But they’re absolute garbage. I don’t think you should ever take them off.”
On the other hand, some praised the Pixels 9 Case they bought from Google. “I’ve had great luck with mine so far! I’ve dropped my phone and the case hasn’t been damaged or broken,” one said.
However, if you are considering purchasing a Google Pixel case for your Pixels 9, Pixel 9 Proor Pixel 9 Proyou might want to look outside the Google Store. I had great protection, first for my Pixel 2 XL and then for my Pixel 6 Pro, from Spigen and if I remember correctly, I paid less than $20 for each case. The case that my Pixel 6 Pro still looks great after 32 months, so you might want to consider one of their Pixels 9 Serial cases.
