Editor’s note: We will continue to update this list of the best cheap cases for the Pixel 4 XL as more become available.

Spigen Liquid Crystal

The Spigen Liquid Crystal offers decent protection, despite how slim it is. This flexible TPU case is straightforward to install and remove. The buttons are covered, and precise cutouts are available for accessing other ports and features. The case is also transparent, allowing you to show off the design of the phone.

Spigen Thin Fit

The Spigen Thin Fit isn’t the most protective case for the Pixel 4 XL but is ideal for those who don’t want to add any bulk to the phone. Precise cutouts are available for easy access to all ports, buttons, and features. Covered corners help with drop protection, and a slightly raised lip keeps the display and rear camera safe as well.

Poetic Affinity

The Poetic Affinity is a durable one-piece case with a polycarbonate back panel and a rugged TPU bumper. The frost matte finish of the back panel protects against scratches, while the honeycomb pattern improves impact resistance. If you want to show off your Oh, So Orange Pixel 4 XL, there’s not a much better way to do so than with a clear case.

Spigen Rugged Armor

The Spigen Rugged Armor is one of the best Pixel 4 XL cases you can buy. It offers excellent protection without adding too much bulk by utilizing air cushion technology and a spider-web pattern on the inside for shock dispersion. A raised lip keeps the display and camera safe, and you also get covered buttons.

Arae Wallet

The Arae Wallet case for the Pixel 4 XL uses a unique magnetic design to lock the wallet flap to the back of your phone. While wireless charging won’t work with the cover closed, it takes just seconds to open the cover. You can stash a total of three cards and use the cash pocket for just about everything else. The case has a large opening for the camera, and precise cutouts make it easy to access the charging port. If there’s one flaw, it’s that the Arae case doesn’t double as a kickstand.

Tudia Merge

The Tudia Merge offers rugged protection with its dual-layer design. It combines a soft, shock-absorbing TPU layer and a hard polycarbonate shell for all-around coverage. Precise cutouts are available, and while you have covered buttons, they are easy to press. Raised bezels keep the screen and the rear camera free from scratches as well.

ESR Essential Zero

The ESR Zero case may not provide the best protection against drops, but it’s thin enough you’ll barely notice you have a case on. It’s made of crystal-clear flexible TPU so that you can add or remove the case in just seconds. ESR has slightly reinforced the corners for some shock resistance, and there’s a 0.9mm lip around the camera and the screen just in case. 


That’s it for this roundup of some of the best cheap cases you can get for the Google Pixel 4 XL!
