Using cases and being protective about smartphones is a norm nearly every individual ought to follow, especially when they come at a higher price point.

But something has always led people to carry their smartphones without cases, the most probable reason is to flaunt their brand-new handset's shiny and sleek appearance.

Gone are the days when smartphones used to come in brick-like thickness, solid enough to break a skull in a quarrel, and the slim build of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is an example of this transition.

Being scarcely fatter than the Pixel 9 Pro XL, the Pixel 9 Pro XL is made to suit everyday use with its minimal, compact form factor.

While the latest Pixel foldable is of top-notch, premium build which needs extra care, not to mention the mandatory use of a good case, the downside of going with a case is that they are ugly, thick, and inefficient in terms of design.

What makes them more discouraging is their excessive thickness which is fairly justified in view of covering two sides of the device, front and back.

If someone opts for a case, then they must be all up to compromise the looks of a marvel of technology, which Google brought after years of research and prototyping. It's understandable that the Pixel 9 Pro Fold will then look chubby, but don't you dare risk the wellbeing of your around-$2000 device.
