Google has brought some exciting features to the table with the Pixel 4 XL, including the Soli sensor that will let you do more with your phone without actually touching it. For the rest of the time, when you're phone is in hand, you should keep it safe with a heavy-duty case that protects against the nastiest drops.

OtterBox is synonymous with heavy-duty cases, and sometimes you really do get what you pay for. This case can withstand just about anything life throws at you, but you may need to turn up Active Edge sensitivity.

It's a triple-layer case that includes a front plate for protection that features the same blue marble pattern.
Nothing screams heavy-duty more than metal, and this rugged case is reinforced with aluminum on the back and front plate to offer supremely robust protection along with the shock-absorbing TPU sleeve.
