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.

Dbrand imo. But not if you like wallets and stuff attached.

I've been using a dbrand case for around a year. I like it.

Unlike the other commenter, I do occasionally take the case off. I've noticed no ill effects.

As an avid dbrand fan, their grip case for the Pixel 9 Pro was disappointing. The plastic around the USB port is super brittle and broke after less than a week. Now the bottom is deformed and I'm waiting on a reply to my support ticket before I find an alternate case and kiss my skin goodbye

Damn,I got a z fold 5 grip that is absolutely impeccable. I've dropped it countless times and its fine.

[–] Zikeji@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah I was surprised. I'm hoping it was a manufacturing defect and assuming they replace it it doesn't happen again. If they don't replace it though I have to stick to my convictions.

I love my Grip case. Love being able to occasionally reskin it to get a "new" case.

Their subreddit gives the impression their build quality is shit, but I've noticed a lot of people with problems saying "I've only taken the case off a handful of times" or "I usually swap cases every few weeks, but I noticed..."

Like, surely just put the case on the phone until it wears out? For protection? Rather than prising it off and being surprised when it loses its strength? I dunno, each to their own I guess. 😅
