TUDIA MergeGrip [Magsafe Compatible] for Pixel 9 Pro XL Case - Indigo Blue

I have the green case. Very nice color. Looks as expected. Nice texture, not slippery. Fits well and not bulky. Easy to install. Good phone protection

I drop my phone constantly. It's a wonder I haven't cracked my screen. I would like to think it's because of this awesome case and it's lifesaving capabilities. It really does a great job of protecting your phone. It's not the sexiest phone case out there but it's the one that will get the job done right every day. A+ student! I had the one without magsafe and loved it so much when I upgraded to magsafe I ordered it again.

I've been using this case roughly a month now. It's really impressed me. It still looks new and seems to be holding up very well. I wanted to try some of the magnetic accessories available, but wasn't sure how to get on this Pixel 7a. I've only got a wireless charger but it really works great for me. It aligns and securely holds everything together, yet isn't so strong that I can't easily pry the parts away and take my phone with me. The case does not seem to add too much bulk but protects the screen and cameras in the back. It slides in and out of my shorts, jeans, etc pockets easily too. The texture on the back feel good and the stronger texture on the side makes it easy to grip as well. I have not had any issues with activating the buttons, and all of my USB-C power cables have fit well. The only other cut-outs are for microphone or speakers, so those work fine too. There's nothing else about this case that I would change. I'm happy with the design, feel, and how useable everything is.

Great case overall! Functionally, it has protected my phone very well during numerous drops. It's sturdy and has a good lip on the front to keep the screen safe. Feels great in the hand since it is textured on the back to prevent slipping. I got it in coral which does get discolored along the light pink part along the front (hence the loss of one star in the review), but aside from that I'd buy this one again maybe in another color.

I got for a gift to go with my son's phone. He loves it and it fit his phone perfectly. The price was reasonable as well.It was easy to install and the shell is little thicker for protection.

Bought this case for my son's Pixel 8a. Very good grip, nice to hold, not slippery at all. Seems like a very good protection. Green Lilly is such a gorgeous color. Good protection. From now on Tudia cases will be on top of my list

Love the case, but it only lasted two weeks before picking up mysterious stains after normal use. I've had many other cases last months or years before looking dingy, so this was very disappointing.

Phone cases. When protecting anything valuable, what's the standard approach? Layers in a logical order: hard exterior, soft interior. Every package, guitar case, and Pelican box follows this formula, often with reinforced corners where impact happens. Simple physics! THE LOGICAL BREAKDOWN Yet somehow this elementary protection logic vanishes when it comes to the thousand-dollar computers we drop regularly. The phone case market offers hard plastic shells with zero shock absorption, flimsy silicone skins (protection from...feelings?), or rubber bumpers with vulnerable corners. The rare dual-layered options often put soft material on the corners or—even more bafflingly—soft material on the outside! It's like wrapping a Fabergé egg in a dish sponge. This madness is what makes the TUDIA MergeGrip such a refreshing anomaly in the phone case wasteland. THE DAILY DROP After a few weeks with the MergeGrip on my Pixel 9, I've subjected it to my usual clumsiness with zero issues. My hands are basically sticks of butter, so I've already dropped it several times on hickory hardwood floors—and she's still ticking! The most telling part? I wasn't even scared when it happened because I expected the case to do its job. That's confidence you can't fake. The sage green color matches my phone perfectly, creating the illusion that Google actually engineered a sensible case themselves. The buttons respond with satisfying clicks rather than the vague mushiness that leaves you wondering if you actually pressed anything at all. THE SPECS ✓ PROS - Finally follows actual laws of physics: soft inside, hard outside - Sage green color that perfectly complements the Pixel 9 - Buttons that click like they mean it - Precise port cutouts that don't require microscopic fingers - Adds protection without making your phone feel like a brick - Reasonable $18 price point for actual engineering logic × CONS - Front rim still only uses the soft layer, with the hard shell stopping halfway down—it's like putting a helmet on just the back of your head! Why stop when you're so close to perfection? - Slight added bulk might be noticeable if you have the hands of a kindergartener ## FIELD NOTES - The textured back provides grip without collecting pocket lint like a dryer filter - I highly recommend pairing this with a TPU screen protector, particularly one with a wet application. These offer far better impact and scratch protection than thin glass or basic semi-rigid plastic options. The wet application process makes for a cleaner, more precise installation than the "sticker" types - Supposedly supports wireless charging, but I don't use one of those newfangled electricity-through-air contraptions, so can't confirm THE VERDICT At $18, the TUDIA MergeGrip represents what should be common sense in phone protection. Cases with this logical design are frustratingly rare, but at least this one gets it mostly right. For Pixel 9 owners who understand that corners are where physics comes to collect its due, this case is worth grabbing before TUDIA realizes they could charge more for actually using their brain.
