The Google Pixel 7 has been hailed as “the most refined Pixel yet.” That sounds like the kind of smartphone you take extra care of and pamper with a new, durable case. After all, you’ll want that Google Tensor G2-powered device kept in one piece at least until you feel it’s time to upgrade to the Google Pixel 8. A case may cover up the phone’s elegant design, but luckily, some options can enhance its visual appeal or speak more to your personality.

While on the topic of protecting one of the finest 5G-capable smartphones on the market, that 90Hz 1080x2400 FHD+ screen is worthy of its own security. Consider installing a durable TPU or tempered glass screen protector to get the job done. The right pairing of a sturdy screen protector and a case will keep your Google Pixel 7 in pristine condition.
