The Spigen Liquid Air Armor case is the best for guarding the Pixel 5a 5G on a tight budget. In addition to delivering dependable drop and scratch protection for the Google phone, the slim cover also has a cool textured finish, which will instantly make the handset easier to handle.

Spigen also offers a similarly priced Rugged Armor case with a more understated design without a textured finish.

The Commuter Series case by OtterBox is among our favorites for protecting the Google Pixel 5a 5G because it delivers the brand’s legendary toughness in a slim and lightweight form factor. Its dual-layer design with discreet covers for the device’s charging port and audio jack exceeds military drop-test standards.

To top things off, the accessory has an antimicrobial coating to protect against common germs, as well as a best-in-class lifetime warranty.

You won’t find a more minimalist protective case for the Google Pixel 5a than the Spigen Thin Fit. As its name suggests, the cover has an impossibly thin construction, which will add less bulk to your phone than most other cases. Other key features of the accessory include a scratch-resistant finish and button covers with stellar tactility.

This elegant leather case by Bellroy will instantly make your Google Pixel 5a 5G look like a more upmarket product with next-level tactility. The ultra slim accessory is meticulously crafted using eco-friendly leather with a black or a toffee finish and flexible polymer for enhanced drop protection. It has a soft interior to guard the phone against scratches and a robust 3-year warranty.

A Pixel 5a 5G take on one of the brand’s most popular products, the Spigen Tough Armor case, is affordable and rugged in equal measure. It delivers exceptional protection that meets military durability, thanks to an interior with the accessory maker’s proprietary Air Cushion tech and a tough exterior shell. 

I also really like its built-in kickstand —which is great for watching videos and gaming.

Google’s own case for the Pixel 5a 5G is unsurprisingly among the best worth your attention. Available in a quartet of colors with catchy names like maybe moon and likely lime, to name a couple, the characterful case has a similar profile and a contrasting textured power button cover as the phone itself.

Best of all, the accessory is crafted from 75% recycled plastic, so it’s more eco-friendly than any rival.

The Legion case by Caseology is an affordably priced offering we like, whose dual-layer construction has a cool two-tone finish. The accessory consists of an inner cover that fits the phone perfectly without affecting its ergonomics and a tough exterior shell for reliable drop and scratch protection.

The Legion offers seamless access to the device’s buttons and ports, and you can order it in black, gray, or green.

The Spigen Ultra Hybrid case is the best for showcasing your Pixel 5a 5G on the cheap. It has a super slim profile with raised edges to protect the device’s screen, and camera and button covers with excellent tactility. However, you should be mindful that the Ultra Hybrid is best suited for protecting your phone against scratches and light drops, not heavy falls.
