What’s the best overall Google Pixel Fold case?
Google is charging $60 for a simple silicone wrap, which isn’t very impressive for a first-party case for any phone, let alone the Pixel Fold. In fact, you’re better off just going to the kitchen store and buying a Silpat liner; all you need is a pair of scissors and some tape.
Luckily, there are plenty of options that can accomplish the same thing for less, if not more: If you’re looking for protection, the VRS Design Terra Guard Modern is a great choice, but if you’re not necessarily looking for a “giant mech” look, consider Casetify’s Impact series, which comes in a variety of designs to fit your vibe.
