I use to spend a lot of money on cases now I usually purchase one for under 10 bucks.

I got this after I returned the other one. There is a pro non XL version also in the same link.

Very thin. Strong magnets. Good plastic screen protector. No tampered. I love it.

And finger prints work awesome too. I deleted the old one and added a new one. Now they work flawlessly.

I received my official Google Snap case for the Pixel 10 Pro. While I love my Ringke Onyx case, there is something special about the way the Google case enhances the phone's appearance. As mentioned, it is somewhat slippery right out of the box, and I'm not sure it would provide much drop protection. I have it in the Obsidian color, and fingerprints are mostly a non-issue.

The official case has no screen protection. I never buy the official cases. Plenty of others have magnets in them too.

I buy a screen protector, and I don't see magnets mentioned anywhere in my post. Don't buy it; I was merely sharing my experience. There is enough of a lip to place your phone face down.

I have ordered another case for the 10 Pro: the Pitaka aramid carbon fiber case. I have used Pitaka cases in the past, and they are incredibly thin and well-built. I will keep my Ringke case for situations where I might risk dropping my phone. The Ringke is still my favorite all-arounder, but we will see.

Thanks for the heads up, I have a pop socket on the way.

I broke down! Got the Spigen Pro Case Ultra Hybrid. Clear but has grip. Kept the Pixel official case but I LOVE this Spigen case! Fingerprints show but I just wipe them away. It's not horrible. Magnets are amazing! It's a winner! Plus shows the gorgeous color of my phone! Bonus! And I'm Happy!!

+1 I also have the Google official case and personally like it. Agreed, it has a good enough lip protecting the screen when you put it face down.

Lip does not matter. It still gets dust and scratches and finger prints. And magnets are important because the accessories don't attach then properly defeating the purpose. So case with magnets is a must.

The Pitaka aramid fiber case arrived today. If you’ve never used one before, be prepared to give it a few days to decide if you like it. I have used these cases before, so I knew what to expect.

First, they can be incredibly difficult to remove, so if you tend to swap cases frequently, this may not be the right option for you. Secondly, the case is extremely thin and lightweight, with open gaps for the buttons and a wide cutout for the USB-C port. If you’re concerned about scratches in those areas, this might not be the best choice. Thirdly, if you prefer a raised lip to protect the screen when laying the phone face down, you’ll find that there isn’t much of one with this case. Lastly, while the case does provide some drop protection, it may not be sufficient if you frequently drop your phone.

So, why should you consider this case? It feels as if there is no case on the phone at all; it is lightweight and comfortable to hold. It slips easily into your pocket, and fingerprints wipe off effortlessly. It offers the closest experience to carrying your phone naked that I have encountered. The magnets are very strong, and there is a raised lip around the camera bump for added protection. Overall, it is a durable case with a good grip. To me, it’s the ideal case for someone who prefers not to use a case. I’ve always liked them, but I’m rarely someone who drops their phone (let’s hope I didn’t just jinx myself!).

All of that sounds great to me...except the price of $70. I just can't see paying $70 for something that was likely made for less than $5. This is why I went looking on AliExpress for a phone case. This is why I buy my eyeglasses from Zenni. I just can't justify the price, no matter what.

I constantly cycle through 2 or 3 cases when I first buy a new phone, but my go-to is the Ringke Onyx. I will return the Pitaka.

I noticed more manufacturers are adding the Pixel 1 and Pixel 2 disclaimers

Fwiw and off topic: From Pixel help under battery charging

"Wireless charging on Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL & Pixel 10 Pro Fold

Important: The Pixel 10 series isn't compatible with the Pixel Stand (1st gen) or the Pixel Stand (2nd gen) for wireless charging."


I went with the Torras 360 and the Torras screen saver. So far so good. No complaints.

I've had the cheapo ($5.96) AliExpress clear 360 magnetic stand case on my 10 Pro XL for about 5 days now.

It's a fine case. Fits great. Has small shock absorber bumpers on the corners. Cutouts are fine. Button pushes are positive and easy. I imagine this is made by a Chinese manufacturer that also makes "name brand" cases that are for sale on Amazon.

One thing they don't spend money on is their packaging. LOL!




Here's some more pics:
















Time will tell how the hinge stands up to use. The magnet does not appear to be very strong. It will not hold the phone securely to the side of a refrigerator or the side of a steel file cabinet. The phone stays adhered to the surface but it slowly starts sliding downward, succumbing to gravity. The Pro 10 XL is a heavy beast, though. Not sure how many magnetic 360 case stands could hold the 10 Pro XL on the side of a refrigerator.

I have an antique Tylt wireless charger (5 watts!) that works with the case on. I haven't tried anything else that would use the magnetic ring.

When standing the phone up in portrait mode the stand is slightly wobbly. Again, probably because the phone is so big and heavy. Also, if you look at the part of the ring that contacts the table surface there are cutouts to help you pry the ring stand away from the phone's back. The result is the stand is really only using a couple of points to contact the table. It's more stable when in landscape mode.

There is a raised lip around the camera area to protect it. Also around the edges of the front of the case. The "G" on the back of the phone is centered perfectly in the circular magnet area, so no OCD suffering on that account.

The case itself weighs 41.8 grams. Usually I like my cases more lightweight than this, but, hey, $5.96.

There is no compelling reason for me to buy another case. But then, we don't really need reasons, do we?
