Staff Pick
Tudia's Merge Series has been protecting Pixels big and small for years, and if you need some heavy-duty support for your Pixel 4a 5G from Day One, this case will do the job for less than a large pizza.
Google's fabric case feels just as amazing on the Pixel 4a 5G as it has in previous generations. This year, we have some fun color options like the Blue Confetti and the classic but ever so sophisticated Basically Black.
If you can't settle on one cool color for your Pixel 4a 5G case, check out the Parallax, which gives you two fun colors in one case. I'm a sucker for the Burgundy/Rose Gold, but there's also a two-tone Aqua Green that's quite fetching, too.
The plastic chassis on the Pixel 4a 5G is easier to keep ahold of than glass-backed phones, but when your hands get sweaty, Spigen's Liquid Air adds excellently grippy texture across the back and sides.
Available in Black, Slate Blue, and a darling Metallic Red, Supcase's most rugged case series is here to protect your investment while also adding functionality in the form of a built-in screen protector and a kickstand that works in portrait and landscape.
See the bright red strips in the corners of this case? That's a shock-absorbing gel, which should help your Pixel 4a 5G survive 8-foot drops. There's also a built-in kickstand near the bottom of the case.
Like the Pixel 4a, we're not getting any fun colors for the Google Pixel 4a 5G, so why not grab a colorful case to pick up the slack? The Colorful Series is so thin you'll forget it's there, but it still adds a bit of grip.
Available in three colors, this TPU case will hug every curve of your Pixel 4a 5G and add grip without adding bulk. While the anccer is hard plastic without any drop protection, the X-Level's TPU adds at least a little impact absorption.
This folio case has slots for three cards and a cash flap inside, but you also get an extra card slot on the front of the case for cards you use most often, like a student ID.
The Guardian Series is known for wild color accents — like the acid green version available here — but the black on black on clear of the Poetic Guardian lets you see the Google accents while still keeping the phone's back and front safe.
This leather-backed case gives you a rich feel on the back while still offering up the better grip and protection of TPU on the bumper. The Newborn Series comes in four colors, including red and a dashing blue.
There are few case makers in the world as well-known and well-trusted as OtterBox. The Commuter Series gives you dual-layer protection without being as ridiculously tank-like as the Defender or Defender Pro.
If you were wishing the Pixel 4a 5G would get that baby blue color like the Pixel 4a — or any color, really — kwmobile has you covered, literally. Available in 16 colors, this grippy little silicone case has at least one shade perfect for you.
Spigen's hybrid clear case gives you the option to either get a completely clear bumper or a matte black bumper to hide the awkward angles you usually see on a clear case around the sides.
The Pixel 4a 5G already has decent battery life on its own, but if you're a power-user, chances are you're still going to want a little extra oomph to keep it alive for longer days. This battery case doubles your Pixel 4a 5G's capacity.
The doesn't get a sexy minty green color like the , but these cases bring plenty of style and add an extra layer (or two) of protection. The Tudia DualShield gives us cyan blue and rose gold while also being sturdy enough to last for years. Still, the Simisoo Vintage Leather wallet case has a deep teal, burgundy, and creamy tan if you're after more subdued colors.
If your tastes skew more towards the soft and sustainable, the Google Fabric Case is made of recycled materials but still looks and feels fantastic, giving your phone great grip and protection without being just another plastic snap-on. This fabric is also machine-washable, so you can wash out the sweat and stains from whatever life throws at you and your phone.
Now that you've protected the back of your Google Pixel 4a 5G, make sure you grab a to keep the Gorilla Glass intact and scratch-free.
