Hi folks, I just picked up a Pixel 8 Pro on an early black Friday deal. I’ve had my previous OnePlus 9 for way longer than the average timeframe and the same with my Oneplus 6 before that.
Looking at cases, I noticed I recognize very few of the manufacturers, basically just Otterbox and Spigen.
If you gravitate towards a particular case manufacturer, I would love to know:
Who makes the best phone cases in 2024?
No limits on style or form, but I don’t need rhinestone bling or anything like that.
My last three phone cases have been Spigen. Won’t be considering changing any time soon.
I’ve yet to find a nice comparison chart between the different series they have (rugged/tough/slim) to know which is which, but the majority of my phones have had something by them.
Spigen all the way from my Samsung S2 to my current S24. Solid.
I’ve had several Spigen cases for my Pixels and the only thing I don’t like is there isn’t a cover for the USB port so it slowly fills with lint until your charger won’t stay connected.

Get you some of these. Won’t wear out your port by plugging/unplugging and the port will never get dirty. Extra bonus: they allow for data transfer too.
I agree, but you can get standalone silicon port covers pretty cheaply, with the bonus that you can use them in other devices too.
Yeah, I had the same situation with my OP9 and a Spigen case. I eventually found out that those little tiny brush-toothpicks seemed to work for cleaning a USB-C port, but it was never quite right and the only reason the port didn’t eventually kill it was because the power button stopped working first.
I’ve had good luck with the more basic Spigen cases in the past though I didn’t like the nicer one with the kickstand and the hard plastic/rubber combo. I’m curious what else is out there, but if I don’t see anything that stands out to me, by backup plan is to get a Spigen as similar to my old phone as possible.
I always get a Spigen with a kickstand.
