Where there’s a new Pixel, there’s a new Pixel case

A new Pixel is coming: Today we announced that the Pixel 5a with 5G lands on August 26. And that means...new Pixel cases are also on their way. The latest lineup has it all — they’re made sustainably, super protective, stylish and affordable.

Protection that’s as good as it looks

The case we’ve created for the Pixel 5a 5G helps guard your device from scratches, bumps, drops and everyday life. It’s made from shock-absorbing materials, so you have one less thing to worry about. And that premium protection comes at an affordable price — it’s a  lifesaver for your Pixel and your wallet. 

Four Pixel 5a with 5G phones are shown, each equipped with one of the four new cases that are launching.

Show off your colorful side

The Pixel 5a case comes in four color options: Black Moss, Maybe Moon, Likely Lime and Partially Pink. With a range of light and dark shades, the latest designs give you new ways to personalize your Pixel and protect your phone beautifully.

Mindful materials 

Sustainability is at the core of our products, literally in this case — even small sustainable choices can add up to have a big impact. That’s why we aim to design Made by Google products to maximize the use of recycled materials. Our newest line of Pixel cases is no exception. The inner layer of the cases for the Pixel 5a with 5G is made from 75% post-consumer recycled plastic, and in total, each case is composed of over 34% recycled plastic by weight.

Design you can depend on

Our cases feature a new, double-layered construction that’s molded to perfectly fit your Pixel 5a with 5G, without adding excessive bulk. Because life is always in motion, caring for your case is as easy as wiping it with a clean cloth. Over the course of designing these cases, we conducted more than 5,000 hours of quality and reliability stress testing to measure how well they stood up to high temperatures, harsh chemicals or physical impact. All to build a case that can work as hard as you. 

You can preorder the new Pixel 5a Case for $29 on our Google Store today.

Recycled style: Introducing the Pixel 4a case

Picking a phone case is a difficult decision. What color should you choose? Do you want something flashy or simple? Maybe you're looking for something that has the environment in mind; if that's the case, you're in luck, because our new case, which is made from over 70 percent recycled plastic, has arrived for the Pixel 4a. The case comes in three colors (Basically Black, Static Gray and Blue).

Knitted for the planet

Last year, we outlined our sustainability commitments across manufacturing, the supply chain and product design. We also introduced the new Google Nest Mini speaker, the first Google product with fabric made with recycled water bottles. The Pixel 4a cases also feature this material; in fact, two recycled plastic bottles can provide enough knitted outer fabric for five cases. In total, the case is made from over 70 percent recycled material, meaning we’re turning waste into something beautiful.  

Made to last

The new Pixel 4a fabric case reduces worries of wear and tear by using a jacquard pattern to more effectively mask signs of use.  When hand washing won’t do the trick, you can toss the Pixel 4a fabric case in with a load of laundry (or on its own) to help remove dirt, dyes and other grime that could build up in between the fibers of the case. See g.co/cases/help for more tips.

Find your style 

Fresh patterns and textures along with beautiful pop colors on the lock button and G symbol add vibrance and functionality to your phone case. The unique fabric material and new patterns come in three colors that complement the Pixel 4a and your own style, so you don’t have to sacrifice aesthetics for protection.

Added protection, just in case  

Our new edge-to-edge inner microfiber wraps around your Pixel and the raised-edge design helps protect your screen and camera  against scratches. You can rest easy knowing that your Pixel is in safe hands, even if your hands may be a little unsteady.
