So, you just dropped a whole lot of cash on your new Pixel 10, but now your wallet is empty. The problem is, you still need to buy accessories. Well, don’t worry: I found ten of the best, and every single one is under $25.
I spent the last week testing all of them, from cases and screen protectors to chargers and even gaming controllers. I’m going to tell you about all ten so you can save your money and get some terrific gear for your new Pixel. Or hey, maybe the best gear for someone you love’s Pixel, as the holiday season is basically here!

To start us off, let’s take a look at this very slim magnetic power bank from Baseus. One of the coolest things about the Pixel 10 series is that all the phones have a new feature called Pixelsnap. On the back of your Pixel, you’ll find a magnetic ring perfect for attaching all manner of accessories, and this little power bank might be the best of them.
Its core purpose is obvious: to wirelessly charge your Pixel on the go without fussing with cables. You just snap it onto the back of your phone. It only adds a little extra weight and is slim enough that it’s not too obtrusive. I also love that it almost matches the Moonstone color of my Pixel 10 Pro and has a soft-touch silicone back.
The bank has an advertised capacity of 5,000mAh, but if you’re using wireless charging, you’ll probably only get about 3,000mAh out of it. Still, that’s enough to add multiple extra hours to your phone’s charge. When it runs out, it charges back up at 20W, going from zero to full in about 90 minutes (assuming you have a wall adapter that meets or exceeds 20W).

Up next, we have an awesome carbon fiber protective case from a company called Grecazo. When I’m looking at smartphone cases, there are two things I prize the most: a fit that’s snug but not so snug you can’t easily take it off, and… no logos! I hate advertising who made my case, and this Grecazo one is perfect in that it’s completely minimal.
