Google has announced this year’s crop of Pixel phones, the Pixel 11 line, and they’re more powerful, more expensive, and of course, your old Pixel 10 or earlier cases may not fit them. Even if they do, the buttons might not line up or your old case might be a little worse for the wear these days. So, it’s time to hunt for a new outer shell for your phone.
Right after a phone launches is usually the hardest time to get a case that you can count on – most third-party case makers haven’t gotten their hands on the phones, and even if they kept an eye on leaks, there’s the chance that what they make won’t really fit right.
It’s different with Google, which seems to be a little looser with its phones’ designs. The company has partnered with some of the most well-known third-party manufacturers and is already selling their cases on the Google Store. As such, all of my preferred cases come straight from there, this time.

Silicone isn’t everyone’s favorite material
Google’s first-party offering is its Pixelsnap Case. The company sells these for all three of the mainline Pixel 11 phones, and in several colors to boot. There is, of course, a black option for all phones, but if you’re feeling more adventurous, you can find these cases in a salmony pink, an olive green, and light blue for the Pixel 11 Pro and Pro XL, as well as a light purple, a very in-your-face pink, and a pistachio green.
These cases feature a built-in magnet for those who want to take advantage of the phones’ upgrade to 25W wireless charging. Being made by Google, you can assume these cases will fit your phone just fine. The only drawbacks are that silicone can be a little too grippy, and at $50, they’re not the cheapest case you can find.
