Bought a bunch of cases for the 7 and 7 Pro off Amazon, and returned most of them.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B9HXP2SQ - This is OK. Cheap, nothing special, not especially protective but it seems like it should provide SOME protection.

The following are on a super promo - Buy a clear case and get the matte/translucent case free. They're ****. Avoid them, they're super thin and provide no protection.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BFR488WY - Same case as above (literally the same case), just as ****ty.

I always get a Spigen case. It has never disappointed me. I dropped my phone today. I was getting gas and reached in to get my phone to use tap-2-pay. Somehow as I swung my arm my hand hit the door and the phone flew a good 4-5 feet before hitting the concrete. Spigen saved my phone!
[Google Pixel 7] rspkt:
I went with my usual Spigen Liquid Air case I've used on my all my pixel devices since my 3XL. Super lightweight, solid protection after numerous accidental drops on damn near every phone I've owned, and good grip as well:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09YMTV7M2

I also bought this one to try something different. It's the Humixx Translucent Matte case. Kinda like the fact I can see the logo on the phone... not like that matters much more than aesthetics though:

I can second this. Spigen Thin Fit checks all the boxes for me.

Anyone been using Tudia? How does it compare to the other cases mentioned here? I've been using one for my v30 and don't have complaints, but always wondered how it compared to others.
[Google Pixel 7] starbiker99:
I got these 3 cases. Two off Amazon and one from Google. The weight is below the link. They are all about the same size. The clear casemate is probably the tackiest. All 3 would be good choices.

ringke is the best, I had it since Samsung galaxy S9 days...it can take some abuse too I drop my pixel 6 on gravel atleast 2-3 times
[Google Pixel 7] bravo261:
ooh, any feedback yet? was looking at that humixx as well and kinda the spigen

mostly looking for thinnest cases, but would need a thicker durable one as well
[Google Pixel 7] rspkt:
The Humixx arrived yesterday along with my phone and I really like it. In fact, I may return the Spigen case now after years of it being my go to choice. The grip on the Humixx is great despite it's smoother finish and the form factor is very minimal but definitely will offer the same protection the Spigen would and actually I think it looks nicer also.

Still waiting on my LK screen protectors so I'll report back how compatible those are with the Humixx and Spigen.
[Google Pixel 7] nathanjace:
I got a Spigen Rugged Armor and it's pretty nice! It's just temporary tho, while I wait for my Caseology case to come.
[Google Pixel 7] condor97:
I ended up going with the Caseology Athlex. It is the perfect fit with a nice amount of protection without being too bulky. It has a nice curve on the sides and great texture.

The UAG had nice protection and fit well. However it was very box like with angular edges, and not comfortable to hold. The Hummix and Spigen were both very nice, but they felt too minimalist for me.

The Supershieldz screen protectors fit pretty well and seem pretty good (though I already chipped the edge of one somehow) and fit well. Installation was really easy. They do have a notch instead of a cutout for the camera.
[Google Pixel 7] t-ryder:
I got that one too for like 17€ at Amazon. Well, the material feels greasy, the case is not as thin as I thought. It protects well (I'm an idiot - stumbled and dropped the phone the same day it arrived), but a huge no-go is the fact that the case stinks like some chemicals, therefore my hands stink then. Not cool.
[Google Pixel 7] t-ryder:
I just got the mail and there's the CASE Mobile Case no-name silicone case with inlay (3 layer concept) from Amazon. It looks OK, but feels like **** holding it. The silicone just feels greasy. One good thing; it has a better camera protection than other cases.

No good IMO... (CASE Mobile Case)

Second one I got today is the Ringke Onyx from Amazon too. It has some interesting design and haptics, feels very grippy and not greasy. I guess this one will replace the Spigen Thin Fit Case. It has the same camera area protection as the CASE Mobile Case. I dislike cases with just a rectangle window for the camera bar.

Pretty decent IMO and good pricing (Ringke Onyx)
[Google Pixel 7] marinierb:
Not a fan of cases. However, the Pixel 7 is slippery. So I ordered a dbrand "real brown leather" skin.

[Google Pixel 7] hahaitsjeff:
I got the case. Thanks for showing me this, I really like this one.
[Google Pixel 7] Vio281:
IMO cases like this hide away the back and color, not worth it, YMMV I always get clear case when I own something that have exotic or weird colors like pixel 6 coral foam
[Google Pixel 7] t-ryder:
I'm a minimalist. I like simple dark stuff and for more than 10 years I've used simple matte black TPU cases for every one of the let's say 50 smartphones I had owned. A 10 bucks case and a cheap but good tempered glass screen protector is all I need. If folks like fancy stuff... everyone as they please.
[Google Pixel 7] bobbyphoenix:
I just received these two in today. Both have a super premium feel. Buttons feel and click like the phone's own buttons. I'm very happy with these. Especially since they were both free (used my store credit on them).

This one has a soft touch feel. Very nice.

I bought this one for my Pixel 7; https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08811K1N4

It's exactly as described and has been working well thus far. I didn't use the camera protector due to my case covering up most of it (Ringke Onyx)
[Google Pixel 7] entropism:
Avoid the casemate, it's not great. It's also cheaper on Amazon, it's about $20 with a screen protector included.
[Google Pixel 7] thegunisgood:
Is Speck any good? Never had one of their cases.
[Google Pixel 7] entropism:
Speck is OK. Definitely gone a bit downhill over the years but generally they're good cases.
[Google Pixel 7] sdotkdot:
I got my Ringke Onyx today from Amazon and it's perfect for me. It's lightweight but feels like it will still provide decent protection. The back has a nice texture and the camera bar is smooth creating nice contrast. The sides are the my favorite part. They're flat and textured. Feels really good to hold
[Google Pixel 7] hammered58:
Well I actually bought one of the Google oem cases from the Google store the plain obsidian pixel 7 case the 29.00 one, worst case ever, IMHO, first off no flexibility and no cushion material at all, very ridgid and difficult to take off once on, absolutely the slickest case I've ever owned, so much I ended up putting non skid rv step tape on it so I would not accidentally drop it while I was testing/ using it,, trying to force myself to like it ,,but I just could not do it. After all it was 29.00 ( the most I ever spent on a case) and made by Google they must know something I don't,, all I can say is they must not have used it themselves. If they had they would not have sold it,, After 2 days back in the box it went.
[Google Pixel 7] t-ryder:
Yesterday I put my device on a scale. Pixel 7 + Ringke Onyx + Tempered Glass = 245g ... that's pretty heavy.

It's pulling down my pants a bit.

The Ringke Onyx is one of the better choices on Amazon I guess.
[Google Pixel 7] bobbarker2:
I got the Spigen Liquid Air and the Caseology Athlex. Returning both to try the Ringke.

The Caseology (which is Spigen btw, just a different name) texture is very grainy and has a weird smell to it. The accent color bar doesn't help hold the phone in any way it's just decorative.

The Spigen liquid air has a very off-putting feel with its criss cross triangular pattern on the back of it. You can feel all the little lines.

The fit on both of these are pretty much spot on and can't see getting a case that is any smaller while offering some protection. But for me though feel of holding the cases it's just terrible.

Hope Ringke is different!

I'm looking for a google pixel 7 case that offers very good protection and camera protection. Built-in screen protector is okay with me too but quality is what I am looking for, sturdyness, durabality and anti-screatch, fade, yellowing etc... I want a case that is built tough and can withstand going on vacation destinations, hiking trails, public events, winter snowstorms or lot of extreme weather (as I live in Canada). These cases are what I am looking at, if any suggestions please provide your opinions. Thank you!

[Google Pixel 7] entropism:
I'd avoid the Liquid Air, because it offers NOTHING for what you're looking for. It's a slim case with minimal protection, and I don't even know why it's even listed with the rest.

The Core Armor, Rugged Armor and UAG are overpriced TPU cases. in UAG's case, SERIOUSLY overpriced. The Ringke Onyx is a TPU case but it's got some protection to it.

Poetic puts out some crap these days. I'd personally avoid.

Wilbur is some knock off Aliexpress crap. Again, I'd avoid.

The Supcase Beetle Pro is fine if you need THAT much case. Personally overkill for me, but you said that's what you're looking for. Definitely the most durable of the list.

No opinion on the DBrand Grip. Never used one before.

The Parallax is a good case, but I don't think it's anywhere near as "tough and durable" as what you're saying you're looking for.

I'd look at the usual suspects, like Otterbox's Defender. Encased (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BG6DR72J/) looks halfway decent.
[Google Pixel 7] fivefour:
I got the Humixx translucent black and it offers good protection and a rounded area for the camera which looks much better.
[Google Pixel 7] anmac1789@gmail.com:
How is this case in rea life?

I'm considering spigen cases since they seem to be the main one in the market and yes I do need alot of protection because I go everywhere with it. I'm seeing some cases that protect the gray metal part of the camera bar and others do not. I think I like the protection around the camera bar. I have a spigen case for my galaxy s8 that has quite a strong uplift from the camera and it seems to have protect the camera so far so I'm thinking to find a case with raised bezels for the screen and also the camera. The case that I have for my s8, the corners are broken and shattered from dropping it over the years so I'm looking for a stronger case than that.
[Google Pixel 7] fivefour:
It looks identical to the photos. It's indeed translucent and matte which looks great and offers a bit more grip, I would put the protection level at about 6.5 out of 10.

The lip on front and camera is nice and tall so no issues even with a screen protector (untested), I believe it protrudes enough that even with a glass protector it wouldn't touch the glass if placed face down. Nice tactile feel to the buttons, not really sure what else to say about it.

I'm happy with my purchase and am particular about my cases.

I got the clear Casemate off the Google store. I love it. Also the one by zagg looks just as nice and it's only 9.95 on their website... Also if your looking for good glass with fingerprint usability go on Amazon and get the Aacl 4 pack. I didn't even have to turn on the screen protector mode in settings, works flawless
[Google Pixel 7] fivefour:
Do phones really need screen protectors? I've never ran one and have never gotten anything other than a few hairline scratches on any of my Android devices over 13 or so years and I don't know how many phones. This is also in coastal Florida so always around sand as well.

Or do you good people run them for impact protection which I could see being some benefit?
[Google Pixel 7] anmac1789@gmail.com:
Any scratches that you can hear on your camera when placed on a surface? or in your pocket?
[Google Pixel 7] oloepoczta:
I had Caseology parallax, currently I have Ringke onyx. The Ringke has a better grip and is more angular which I like.

Ringke fusion clear case from Amazon so far so good.
[Google Pixel 7] bobby janow:
I hate cases. But this phone is almost impossible to hold in your hand without it slipping out. So I bought a case, the Ringke from Amazon for both 7s, my wife's and mine. Yep, I hated it even though it weighed just under an ounce. Then I splurged for the Latercase. Wow, amazing but expensive. I don't think it weighs more than a few grams, it's sleek, has full cutouts and looks great. I can now hold my phone again but... it does not offer much protection. Maybe slightly but a drop from any height probably will not protect it but it's better than a skin. Just my 2 cents but I had to report that I finally found a case I can live with and actually like.

[Google Pixel 7] Vio281:
I have the same....my sister got a spigen, similar case, I like the way Spigen power button click...but more protection on camera with Ringke
[Google Pixel 7] DJ-Tumor:
I had Ringke Fusion and Spigen Tough Armour here.

Ringke went home.

The Ringke adds up a little less...to be honest the Spigen is the MAX I would allow to add up.

The clear one from Ringke never was an otion to me. It may look nice to some when new....dirt inevitable will be intruding and thing will look "different". Plus I don´t the look of clear plastic when sun is catched in it. It looks childish, cheap to me.

So I tried the matte version. Surprise....they only change the backside inlay to matte.

So my biggest complain about the clear one applies to the matte version.

The case itself looks good for me. I´d say it would definetly safe from a lot of damages.

So there are loads of cases out there. some at least seem to be the same or even simply copies.

Very important to me is that the case doesn´t destroy the design identity of the phone.

My Mi10 wears the wonderful Ringke Fusion X (camouflage). Perfect to me. But of course not availalble for P7.

Since I didn´t want to try several cases to have them all sent back. Itried to dig deeper.

Finally I settled for the Spigen Tough Amour. The metal color looks especially nice to my eye.

Warning! It´s not a decent appearance. The Tough Armour is not meant as a joke and it is it definetly tougher that the Fusion. But as a negative effect also a little bit bulkier.

I personally draw the line with what the Ringke adds to the size of the phone. Others may be less tolerant for this and call the tough armour too fat.

Very nice and useful is the kick stand included in the tough armour.

Of course both work well for wireless charging. The decision against the Ringke is purely because of my personal taste. It is a good case and if you lime its design...i seems to have the best camera safety.

I bought the Peak Design case, although it's backordered. It has a mechanical connector for other peak design stuff, as well as magsafe. It also looks quite nice.
[Google Pixel 7] OlemDupleo:
In addition to the appearance and properties of the cover, pay attention to the following. How easy it is to press the buttons. Poor quality products may overlap the buttons on the side, which is unacceptable. How secure is the phone in the case. The size should ideally fit the size of the smartphone. It is better to choose a case for a specific phone model, and not a universal one. How convenient is it for you to hold the phone in your hand. Check whether it is comfortable to hold the gadget, whether it slips out, whether it fits well in your hand. For example, I bought an iPhone case Malaysia along with a protective glass. This is a shockproof case, it will protect your phone from damage when dropped. This is very important for me, as things often fall out of my hands.
[Google Pixel 7] DJ-Tumor:
Having Used the Tough Armor now for a while I´m totally fine with it.

BUT still I´m returning it to Amazon because I happened to take out the Pixel to show it someone and it hit me that it adds so much to the pixel size.

I revisited the whole case stock at Amazon. Sadly some iteresting cases are not there.

Nillkin for example is highly interesting, but NOTHING for P7 can be found.

Many interesting cases are listed but I got to the point watching for the numbers.

And this kills a lot of cases guys. So many cases with marketing bla-bla.

Looking at the size numbers and they are guily of lying "super thin".

Rhinoshield looks/sounds interesting, but no numbers given. Just bla-bla.

Might be with the best cases but I can´t order 15 cases and send 14 back.

So in the end I´m trying and hoping for the Spigen Rugged Armor.
[Google Pixel 7] kamote_sa_ulap:
I use Ringke clear sides with frosted back. I dont like to hide the phone's color and design.
[Google Pixel 7] DJ-Tumor:
I just can´t stand what it looks like, when the sun is catched in that clear case frame.

I´d need a case with a dark case frame and clear back sides. But then again I´d get angry on me, when nature comes into place and dirt and stuff is intruding the backside and it doesn´t look that nice and clean anymore.

I think its like the fingersprint stuff on phones.

Some even can´t stand fingerprints on their phones.

Other than that....I´m ****ed :)

The Spigen Rugged one is NICE. MY TYPE of cover. Wish they would have one with that nice option "Metal Slate". But then again I would be even more sad.

THANKS Google you had to switch the buttons on my phone :rolleyes:

Now with the Rugged Armor it always turns the volume down to nothing or if I adjust the mouting within the charger it doesn´t charge anymore :poop:

So far so good, Im using Ringke for as long as I can remember and so far every phone that i had

As far as protection goes, it is well protected. Ive been using Ringke Fusion for as long as I can remember and it never failed me. In regards to design, as i have said, I dont like hiding my phone's design and color otherwise what is the point of chosing a color if you are just gonna hide it? But that's only me. It's totally up to you.
