The Pixel 10a has only been available to pre-order for a matter of days, but plenty of you will have already committed to Google’s latest mid-range device. If you’re as prone to a clumsy phone moment as I am, you’re already thinking about having a case waiting for it so as to avoid any nightmare new-purchase accidents. It’s a solid little phone, with Gorilla Glass 7i and an IP68 rating, but it’s still glass and metal at the end of the day. One bad drop on day one and you’ll be kicking yourself.
I’ve been thinking about the best Pixel 10a cases to purchase at this stage. There are a couple of quirks that make case shopping for this device a bit more interesting. For example, the camera module on the phone sits completely flush with the back, which looks clean but means there’s nothing naturally lifting those lenses off a table. And while the phone supports 10W wireless charging, there’s no Qi2 or built-in magnetic alignment, so you don’t get to enjoy the same Pixelsnap joy as the Pixel 10 series.
