Google has started selling custom silicone cases for its Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones on the Google Store.
At the moment the online store is only stocking the gray color for the Pixel as well as the Pixel XL. The other colors — blue, green, peach, and coral — are marked as “coming soon.” They all cost $35.

This isn’t the first time Google has offered phone cases. Last year’s Nexus 6P case, for instance, was highly regarded, but it’s no longer available now. Apple, for its part, sells Leather Cases and Smart Battery Cases for its iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
