FAQs

Does the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold need a case?

While phones are significantly more durable now than in years past, a phone case is still a wise investment for peace of mind on any of the best Android phones, especially for an expensive device like the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.

Given the moving parts of foldable devices, even the best foldable phone is more susceptible to severe damage than a traditional flat phone; for this reason, a case is particularly worthwhile for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. 

Since the Pixel 9 Pro Fold's cover display is unprotected by default, we also recommend equipping the phone with a screen protector. See our guide to the best Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold screen protectors

What should I look for in a Pixel 9 Pro Fold case?

As with any of the best Google Pixel phones, when deciding on a Pixel 9 Pro Fold case, you'll want to ensure that a case provides adequate protection without restricting features you might want to use, such as Qi wireless charging. For instance, our top pick, Otterbox's Thin Flex case, is a durable model that enables wireless charging. 

Other factors worth considering are the case's price point, aesthetics, and any potential additional features you might want, such as a built-in kickstand. Among the very few options currently available for a kickstand case, the lone model we can recommend (from a brand we've vetted) is the protective Poetic Spartan case, though we admittedly wish it were more aesthetically appealing. 

Will a Pixel Fold case fit a Pixel 9 Pro Fold?

No, a case for the original Pixel Fold will not fit on a Pixel 9 Pro Fold due to the new model's comprehensive redesign.

When folded, the Pixel Fold has a height of 5.5 inches, a width of 3.1 inches, and a depth of 0.47 inches, while the Pixel 9 Pro Fold has a height of 6.1 inches, a width of 3.0 inches, and a depth of 0.41 inches. 

When unfolded, the Pixel Fold has a width of 6.2 inches and a depth of 0.22 inches, whereas the Pixel Fold 9 Pro Fold has a width of 5.9 inches and a depth of 0.20 inches.
