Weekend poll: How’s your Pixel 6 case holding up?
It’s no secret that the market for third-party Android cases can be lacking. There are plenty of options for Samsung fans, but your choices start to shrink once you’re looking for a protective shell for a less popular device. That’s why a lineup of great first-party cases is so important these days — and why poor quality can make it challenging to bring buyers onboard. This week, the internet blew up afterviral photos showed Google’s latest Pixel cases agingabout as poorly as you’d hope from a $30 accessory.

Even if it wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea, it offered a stylish pairing with the Pixel 6’s unique color lineup, allowing fans to mix and match. Unfortunately, seven months later, it’s evident the cases weren’t designed to last. Photos of discoloration, warped areas around the buttons, and even scratches appearing on the phone’s back despite the implied protection. Not only is Google’s top accessory for the Pixel 6 not holding up — it’s not even doing what it was made to do.
Of course, when the phones first arrived last fall, we had no idea how these TPE cases would last. Even if it’s not quite as broad a selection as the Galaxy S22, the Pixel 6 hasseveral excellent cases available, capable of withstanding daily use far better than Google’s first-party offering. The only question that remains is whether these third-party accessories are managing to hold up better in day-to-day use.
That’s where this week’s poll comes in. If you’re rocking a Pixel 6, we want to know how your case is holding up, and whether you have Google’s official shell or something from the likes of Spigen and Caseology. Select either first or third-party case from the options below, along with its current condition. If you have multiple cases, consider the one you use the most.
