6 New Cases For Style And Protection
When Google released its latest phones, the Pixel 10 Series, one of the first questions many buyers asked is which case they should choose to go with their new purchase. After all, phones aren’t cheap and though they’re tougher than they were, they still need protecting.
Google Pixelsnap cases for Pixel 10 Pro
Here are six of the new cases. Oh, and before you ask, no the cases for the Pixel 9 Pro XL won’t fit. The overall dimensions of the phone are the same but small design changes mean the camera panel isn’t a good match. Anyway, do you really want to put your new phone in a year-old case? All the cases here are also available for the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro as well as the Pixel 10 Pro XL.
