For the best all-round Pixel 7 case, check out the TR4U liquid silicone case. It offers full-body protection and a durable 3-layer silicone structure. This allows the case to deliver a solid level of durability without compromising its sleek design.

The case comes in 4 colours that fit perfectly with the Pixel aesthetic. At just $14.99, it's an ultra-affordable way to encase your phone. It features raised lips to protect the phone's screen and camera.

On the downside, some customers have reported slipperiness issues with TR4U cases. As long as you trust your ability to hold onto it, the TR4U liquid silicone case is the perfect option for your Google Pixel 7.

Carbon fibre cases are a great option for providing sleek protection to your phone. For just $11.99, this HEYUS case offers exceptional value. It is lightweight and maintains the form factor of the Pixel 7 while offering a solid level of protection.

If it's screen protection you really want, this might not be the case for you as it doesn't offer much in that department. You'll have to get your hands on an external screen protector to keep your OLED display looking brand new.

This HEYUS offering isn't the flashiest or the most durable option, but it does an excellent job at the price point.

The Mama Mouth wallet case is the perfect option for customers itching to get a leather case on their Pixel 7. Alright, it's not real leather – but that's good news for animal lovers.

This case delivers a TPU skeleton, which reinforces the phone's protection. For those of you who like to leave your wallet at home, 2 card holders and a side pocket are modest but handy additions.

With so many amazing options under $20 available, $37.47 is quite steep for a Pixel 7 case. Some customers also noted appendages like the metal clasp didn't last as long as they would have liked. But if the features on display sound enticing to you, you'll find this case well worth the price.

Genuine leather is the obvious choice if you want a premium phone case, but it's also very pricey. The ZIULQIK Protective Leather Case is a good compromise – it's constructed from tough Polyurethane leather with needlework stitching and comes in a choice of 3 colours: black, green and red.

The wallet-style design comes with 2 card slots and a pocket for your cash. An adjustable horizontal kickstand is also included. The inner casing is constructed from TPU materials. It also boasts a hidden magnet to ensure it remains closed while not in use.

Customers are used to paying through the nose for solid phone protection. This TiHen case offers full-body protection at a very affordable price tag.

TPU and silicone come together to deliver an admittedly bulky case that nonetheless offers great protection against knocks and bumps. One handy feature is a 360° ring bracket, allowing your case to easily rotate in any direction.

Some reviewers expressed disappointment at the product's lifespan. These customers are a minority, however, meaning this case should be a great option for you.

The Google Pixel 7 is an attractive phone, so you might want to avoid completely hiding it away. That's why a transparent case can be a great purchase.

Its sleek design supports wireless charging without the need to remove the case. T Tersely is well-established in the phone case game, so if you have your heart set on a transparent product you need look no further.

How to choose a phone case

The primary purpose of a phone case is to protect your phone against drops and bumps. In addition, they can add a stylish flourish to your phone and sometimes provide extra benefits such as belt clips, inbuilt stands and pockets for your licence and credit card.

Here are a few things that you need to consider.

Compatibility

The most crucial thing you need to check is whether the case you're considering is actually compatible with the smartphone model you own. Read the fine print closely to check which models the accessory is designed for, and if you're unsure what model of phone you have, check the original packaging or instruction manual.

Third-party or OEM?

Many phone manufacturers design and sell cases as optional accessories. For example, you can purchase a range of Google-branded Pixel cases from the company's official website. This is known as original equipment manufacturing (OEM).

OEM cases are guaranteed to work optimally with your phone as they were designed by the same manufacturer itself. However, they also tend to be more expensive and there are limited options available.

Buying phone cases from third-party manufacturers opens up a much wider range of options, many with more affordable price tags. Just be mindful that quality control is a lot more varied in this space, particularly when it comes to "no-name" brands.

Some third-party brands have an official partnership with the phone manufacturer. This means the 2 companies worked closely together to ensure the case works as advertised. Think of it as a seal of approval from the phone manufacturer.

Price

The amount you pay for a phone case is entirely dependent on the features you need. No-name silicone cases typically start at around $5, while high-quality leather options can sell for several hundred dollars.

As with any product, you generally get what you pay for when it comes to phone cases. However, an expensive option isn't necessarily a better choice than a cheaper alternative. Customer reviews, and the guide above, can help you to find a quality case even if you are shopping on a budget.

Case types

Phone cases are made from a wide variety of different materials including plastic, silicone and leather (both faux and genuine). Some "ruggedised" cases combine a hard outer material with a softer inner layer for extra protection. There are also different types to choose from, including wallet cases, shell cases and flip cases.

Skin and shell cases: Slimline skin cases allow you to maintain the stylish look of your phone while offering an extra layer of protection, but they're not known for heavy-duty protection. Rigid shell cases are also available, and some include bumpers for added impact protection.

Flip cases: These cases provide open protection for your phone's screen and can be flipped open when you need to use your device. Many also double as a stand if you want to watch videos on your device.

Phone wallet cases: As the name suggests, these cases are a lot like a wallet for your phone. They often also include storage slots for your cash, cards and driver's licence.

Heavy-duty cases: Also known as rugged and tough cases, these accessories are designed to protect your phone against heavy falls and punishing treatment. Great for tradies and farmers, they can absorb impacts and reduce the risk of you damaging your device, but they also tend to be bulky and heavy.

Frequently asked questions

• Can your phone case cause overheating?

  Some phone cases can trap heat, preventing your phone's exterior from cooling down the unit during use. Most phones will give a warning or automatically deactivate if temperatures reach dangerous levels.

• Are silicone phone cases better than plastic ones?

  Silicone cases protect your phone from scratches, dirt and smudges. However, they are typically too soft to provide any shock protection. Plastic phone cases are bulkier and heavier than silicone cases, but they provide better protection against accidental drops, scratches and dirt.

• How do you clean a phone case?

  Remove your case and set your phone aside. Use a cloth dampened with a mixture of dishwashing liquid and water to wipe the case clean. Use a cotton swab to remove dirt from the corners and other hard-to-reach areas. Use another clean cloth to wipe it dry. Let the case air dry for a few minutes before use.
