The Google Pixel 10a is barely discernible from the Pixel 9a. There’s still no camera bar either, which means you can get any of the best Google Pixel 10a cases and still maintain a very slim, low profile. These cases add drop protection, scratch-proofing, and in some cases, a magnetic ring to add support for magnetic accessories. And, of course, they liven up the stale design of the Pixel 10 that shamelessly imitates last year’s model.

Best overall
The first-party Google Pixel 10a Case is made of stain-resistant silicone that feels velvety soft to the touch. Available in four color-matched hues, it’s built with around 36% recycled plastic.
Spigen Nano Pop MagFit for Pixel 10a
Best value
Spigen’s affordable and slim Nano Pop MagFit case comes in three colors, has a magnetic ring baked in, and has dotted sides to add grip. It is compatible with the Pixelsnap wireless charger from Google.
Ringke Onyx Magnetic for Google Pixel 10a
Best grip
Afflicted with a case of butter fingers? This sandstone-textured case adds so much grip, preventing slips and falls. The Ringke Onyx Magnetic for Google Pixel 10a comes in a non-magnetic version as well, but this variant is better as it adds MagSafe support.
Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for Pixel 10a
Best clear
Spigen’s Ultra Hybrid MagFit for Pixel 10a is budget-friendly, sturdy, pliable, and Pixelsnap compatible. It promises anti-yellowing properties and military-grade drop protection via Spigen’s Air Cushion Technology.
Bellroy Leather Case for Pixel 10a
Best leather
Available in Seinna, Sapphire, and Black, the Bellroy Leather Case for the Pixel 10a is slim, trim, and lined with soft microfiber inside. As is the case with all real leather goods, this case will age over time to have a unique appearance.
FNTCASE Google Pixel 10a Case with MagSafe
Best semi-transparent
The smokey, translucent FNTCASE Google Pixel 10a Case with MagSafe comes with a screen protector and adds support for magnetic accessories. You get a bumper frame, raised edges around the screen and camera unit, and a matte see-through finish.
Crave Google Pixel 10a Case with MagSafe
Best hardback
The Crave Google Pixel 10a Case with MagSafe is a dual-layered, shock-proof cover made up of PC and TPU layers. It also has a magnetic ring embedded within it, so you can use magnetic wallets or wireless chargers without taking the case off.
Poetic Spartan for Pixel 10a
Best multifunctional
The Poetic Spartan case for the Pixel 10a is highly multifunctional, adding military-grade drop protection, a spinning ring holder that doubles as a stand, a screen protector, raised edges for impact absorption from 15ft falls, and a magnetic ring.
OtterBox Google Pixel 10a Commuter Series Case
Best heavy-duty
OtterBox promises rugged drop protection three times the military-grade with its dual-layered Google Pixel 10a Commuter Series Case. The ports come with dust covers, and wireless charging works uninterrupted with the case on.
Pick a thin Pixel 10a case to maintain its lightness
The best Google Pixel 10a cases don’t add to its lightweight and small profile, while adding useful features like magnetic rings and improved drop protection. There are plenty of excellent Pixel 10a cases available already. Depending on your usage style, the ideal Pixel 10a case will change from one person to another.
Google’s own silicone cases are built well, fit the Pixel 10a like a glove, and feel fantastic. You get decent drop-proofing and four shades to match the colors of the Pixel 10a itself. At $29.9, you would expect Google to factor in Pixelsnap support, but unfortunately, that’s missing in action.
For a more upgraded experience, get a Pixelsnap or MagSafe case for your Pixel 10a. This enables support for magnetic accessories like MagSafe wallets and Qi2 wireless chargers. Spigen’s Nano Pop MagFit is priced below $20, comes in three color combos, adds a magnetic ring, and also boosts your phone’s impact absorption heavily.
Bellroy’s genuine leather offerings cannot be ignored, even if they don’t offer magnetism. The Bellroy Leather Case for Pixel 10a looks handsome, adding a lot more class and character to an otherwise plain-looking phone. You can opt for a simple black or standard brown leather color, but the Sapphire blue number is particularly attractive — and it matches the Pixel 10a in Lavender quite nicely.
Lastly, if you want to keep things simple and just want something minimal without obstructing the view of your Pixel 10a, just get a clear case. Spigen’s Ultra Hybrid MagFit case has anti-yellowing properties, has a magnetic ring, and adds decent drop protection without bulking up the device. It’s priced below $20, too, making it the ideal clear case for any Google Pixel 10a owner. I’ve tested many clear cases from Spigen over the years and am even rocking one on my Pixel 10 Pro right now, so I can vouch for the quality.
