You can now get the Google Pixel silicone case in more colors than gray

The Google Pixel and Pixel XL are expensive phones, and you probably want to keep your shiny new one protected if you already have your hands on one. Google’s self-made silicone case is a great option for doing that — however there’s a problem. So far, the case has only been available in grey.

Today, however, that changes — now the case is available in grey, blue, green, peach, and coral, so you can keep your beautiful phone in a case that really helps it pop.

The cases are actually very nice. They’re lined with a microfiber that helps keep the phone protected from the outside world while ensuring that it doesn’t get any scratches or dents. Not only that, but they actually have a pretty premium feel — and, as the cases were designed by Google, they look like an extension of the phone itself. Last but not least, if you’re a Google fan you’ll like the Google branding on the case.

Of course, that Google branding doesn’t come cheap — if you’re on a budget you may be better served buying a Spigen case or one from another accessories maker, but sometimes that Google branding can be a nice touch to your Google-branded phone.

The Google Pixel and Pixel XL silicone cases are now available from the Google Store, and they cost $35 each. Head here to get the Google Pixel case, and here if you want the Google Pixel XL case.

If you’re shopping for a case and want something a little more flashy, Google also sells its “Live Case” for the Pixel and Pixel XL. What makes the Live Case special? You can customize it with a design of your choosing, making your Live Case different from every other phone case out there.

The Google app on your Android phone is getting a helpful new feature
Google app on Android beta showing Notifications.

The Google app for Android phones is getting a helpful new feature to make search even better. The latest beta has a dedicated "Notifications" feed in its bottom bar. The feature was first introduced on the mobile version of Google for Android earlier this year. The app feature was first noticed by 9to5Google.

The app now includes a Notifications option at the bottom, next to Discover, Search, and Saved items. The Notifications section displays a continuous list of alerts from Google Search, weather conditions, flight information, sports scores, movies and TV shows, and more. The notifications are grouped under “Today” and “Earlier." This feature should prove handy if you miss a notification from the Google app, as it provides a more focused view than Android's system-level history.

I had a terrible time explaining which cheap Pixel 8 phone you should buy when I reviewed the Google Pixel 8a. I eventually settled on saying the Pixel 8a is the low-cost Pixel phone you should buy ... except for those times when it isn’t.

You don’t need your hands to control your Android phone anymore. At Google I/O 2024, Google announced Project Gameface for Android, an incredible new accessibility feature that will let users control their devices with head movements and facial gestures.

There are 52 unique facial gestures supported. These include raising your eyebrow, opening your mouth, glancing in a certain direction, looking up, smiling, and more. Each gesture can be mapped to an action like pulling down the notification shade, going back to the previous app, opening the app drawer, or going back to home. Users can customize facial expressions, gesture sizes, cursor speed, and more.
