Earlier this year, smartphone accessory maker Casetify rolled out new cases for Google\u2019s Pixel 7<\/a> and 7 Pro<\/a>. The company sent me a couple Pixel 7 cases to test out. My impressions so far are that they\u2019re well-made, durable and sport excellent, fun designs. My only real complaints come down to the thickness (I am ever in search of a thinner case) and price.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the good stuff. Casetify says its \u2018Impact\u2019 series of cases of the Pixel 7<\/a> and 7 Pro<\/a> are made with 65 percent upcycled plastic and can withstand a drop of 8.2 feet (I did not drop test my phone to see if this is true, but if my Pixel 7 does take a significant tumble some day, I\u2019ll update this with the results.) Beyond that, there are a ton of designs to pick from, and there\u2019s an option to make your own custom cases too.<\/p>\n

\"\"The wide range of options helps make up for the fact that Casetify only offers one type of case for the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro \u2014 the \u2018Impact\u2019 series \u2014 and only three colour options, two of which are black. While I would have liked to see more options (for example, the iPhone 14 Pro has nine different case types<\/a>), the range of back designs makes it easier to accept the limited number of case designs.<\/p>\n

However, when it comes to the three colour options, matte black is king. The other options are \u2018clear black\u2019 and \u2018sheer kiwi\u2019 \u2014 the former looks fine but doesn\u2019t have as nice a feel as the soft-touch matte, and the latter didn\u2019t really thrill me, although I\u2019m sure some people might like the kiwi colour.<\/p>\n

\"\"The two Casetify cases I tried were the \u2018I\u2019m leaving this planet<\/a>\u2018 design in matte black and the \u2018Research by Other Minerals<\/a>\u2018 design in clear black. I really like both, but as mentioned above, I found I preferred the feel of the matte black. It\u2019s more of a soft-touch texture and feels grippier than the glossy clear black. It\u2019s a bit of a bummer since I really like the Research by Other Minerals design.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, both cases came with a QR code attached, which I could scan to \u201cauthenticate\u201d the case. Whether or not you care about having an authentic Castefiy case, going through the process does net you $5 USD to go towards your next Casetify purchase. Which, frankly, you\u2019ll need.<\/p>\n

\"\"All the Pixel 7 Casetify cases I looked at cost $50 USD (about $68.46 CAD). Casetify offers free worldwide shipping, which is nice, but the price is still steep, in my opinion. And if you start looking at some of the other options available for iPhone, prices can climb as high as $90 USD ($123.23 CAD). For me, that\u2019s far too much to spend on a phone case, but if you\u2019re flush with cash and want a nice case with a cool design, Casetify does deliver.<\/p>\n
