<p>Much like the <a href=”https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/productreviews/tech/g28965047/bestiphonecases/” target=”_blank”>best iPhone cases</a>, we’ve also found several Pixel cases now include magnets within the charging case to help align with magnetic wireless chargers. While this isn’t quite the nextlevel Qi2 wireless charging that we’re hoping comes to Android smartphones from next year onwards, it’s handy if you want to use magnetic <a href=”https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/productreviews/tech/g41038140/bestpowerbanks/” target=”_blank”>power banks</a> or stands.</p><p>The recent design changes to the Google Pixel 9 lineup mean that you’re not going to have to use them with a case if you don’t want to, and they’re not so slippery that a case is essential, as it was with the <a href=”https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/productreviews/tech/a61763845/googlepixel8review/” target=”_blank”>Google Pixel 8</a>, <a href=”https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/productreviews/tech/a60937202/googlepixel8areview/” target=”_blank”>Pixel 8a</a> and <a href=”https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/productreviews/tech/a61763910/googlepixel8proreview/” target=”_blank”>Pixel 8 Pro</a>.</p><p>However, we’d always recommend putting your phone in a case for robust protection and a touch of personal style.

Best clear Pixel 9 case
Mous Clarity 2.0 Pixel 9 Case

It’s more protective than many other clear cases on the market, but it also isn’t quite as clear as many others, so we can see that it might not be the top pick for some who want to fully show off the colour of their Pixel handset. While the black edges and MagSafe ring might stand out more than a fully transparent case, this is a hard option to beat for a combination of style and protection – just be prepared for the premium price.
