From cases and chargers (because you don’t get one in the box) to cables and earbuds, we’ve compiled a list of the best accessories for the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro. Depending on your usage, you can pick the accessories that appeal to you. Or, you can go all in and get every single one of them! Before we get to all the awesome accessories, though, here are some other articles that may interest you:
Take a look at some of the best Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro fast chargers that you can buy which you can use even to power a wireless charger. Speaking of wireless charging, here are the best wireless chargers for the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro.
Let’s get to the products now.
1. Spigen Camera Lens Protector
Unlike the Pixel 6 series which has a glass camera visor, Google opted to go with aluminum on the Pixel 7 Pro. As a result, the camera bar scratches easily with everyday use even if you’re careful. This problem is worse on the Pixel 7 Pro where the camera visor is glossy instead of the matte one found on the standard Pixel 7. The best way to prevent scratches on both the camera visor as well as the lenses themselves is to get a camera lens protector like this one from Spigen. It’s made of glass and hence, prevents the aluminum from getting scratched. You get 2 in the pack so if one gets beat up, you have another one ready. However, the only drawback of this product is that it’s only available in a black colorway. So, if you have the Pixel 7 or 7 Pro in a different color, it might look odd. If you’re fine with the way it looks, this is one of the must-have Pixel 7 camera accessories. The link above is for the Pixel 7 so if you have the Pixel 7 Pro, you can get it using the link below.

2. Anker 100W 2-Pack USB-C Cable
While the Pixel 7 series only supports a maximum charging speed of up to 30W, a 100W USB-C cable gives you extra peace of mind when traveling. If you have a laptop that charges via USB-C, you can choose to carry just 1 cable for all your devices which is convenient. This is exactly why we recommend getting a 100W cable. This pack from Anker has 2 USB-C cables rated at up to 100W. The length of each cable is 6ft which is plenty even when you’re traveling. The cables are braided making them strong and durable. Some users have reported connectivity issues with some chargers while using this cable so ensure you’re using a charging adapter from a reputed brand to avoid any incompatibility.
3. Poetic Guardian Series Case
The Pixel 7 Pro has a curved display that makes it hard to install a good-quality screen protector. Hence, a case with a built-in screen protector like this makes more sense. Apart from the fact that you get a screen protector, this case offers excellent protection with its thick edges and reinforced corners. If you drop your phone often, this case should save your phone pretty much every time. Since the back is clear, you’re not hiding the color you picked which a lot of people will appreciate. Needless to say, this case adds a substantial amount of bulk to your phone so it’s not meant for everyone. If you’re willing to live with the bulk, though, the Poetic guardian case for the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro offers excellent protection that’s military grade drop tested. The link above is for the Pixel 7 Pro so if you have a Pixel 7, you can use the link below to buy it. Buy for Pixel 7
4. Anker 30W USB-C Car Charger
This dual-port USB-C Pixel 7 car charger from Anker is not only helpful to charge your Pixel 7 series smartphone, but it can also charge a larger device like a MacBook Air which can be helpful on a long trip. It supports the USB-PD standard, so it can charge any device that has PD charging support up to 30W. The other USB-A port can be used for charging another smartphone or even an accessory like a smartwatch. The reviews section has some reports of the charger failing after a few months of use but apparently, Anker’s support team was quick to replace those products free of charge. Besides, you get 18 months of warranty from the brand so you don’t have to worry too much about this.
5. UGREEN 45W Dual-Port Charger
There are 2 main USPs of the UGREEN 45W Nexode charger — it’s got 2 USB-C ports and has foldable prongs, making it easy to carry around or travel with. It’s also quite compact so it won’t take up much space on your wall outlet or backpack. When using both USB-C ports simultaneously, the power is split into 25W and 20W which is still sufficient to charge your Pixel 7 quickly. With no charger in the box, this UGREEN charger is a must-have accessory for your Pixel 7 or Pixel 7 Pro. It’s a GaN charger so you also get additional benefits like low temperatures when charging. As mentioned earlier, this can be the only charger in your backpack while traveling since it can also be used to charge a MacBook and other smaller accessories too.
6. Belkin 20,000mAh Portable Power Bank
The Belkin 20,000mAh power bank should be a part of your travel backpack sheerly based on the high capacity. The 20,000mAh cell inside can charge your Pixel 7 about 3.5 times completely and Pixel 7 Pro close to 3 times. While it has a limited 15W output, it is still quick enough, especially when you’re in an emergency and don’t have a wall socket around you. Belkin is also kind enough to bundle in a cable within the box to help you charge your phone without having to buy a cable separately. The only downside to this power bank is that it charges only at 10W so charging the power bank takes extremely long which can be an issue if you’re in a hurry. If it charged even at 18W, it would’ve been much faster.
7. Google Pixel Stand 2nd Gen
While it is on the expensive side and any Qi wireless charger should work with your Pixel 7, the Pixel Stand 2nd Gen offers some exclusive features that may be worth it depending on your usage. If you want the fastest wireless charging speeds supported by the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, this is the charger to get. It also has a built-in cooling fan to keep the temperatures under check. The smart functionality that you get is a bonus if you’re into the smart home ecosystem. You can view your Nest cam feed, and turn off/on connected devices such as lights, air conditioners, etc. Despite being rather expensive, there’s one issue that might annoy you – you cannot charge smaller devices like wireless earbuds using this charger since the coils don’t line up. This means placing your phone horizontally also won’t work.
8. Google Pixel Buds Pro
The Google Pixel buds Pro offer decent sound quality along with ANC for an immersive experience. But, these earbuds are more than just about music. The additional features are what make them smarter and better to use with your Pixel. For starters, you get multi-point connectivity with your phone and laptop. So, if you get a call and you’re watching a video on your computer, the earbuds will automatically switch to your phone. Google has included beamforming mics for improved call quality even when you’re in a crowded environment. With a single charge, you get up to 11 hours of battery life with just the earbuds, among the best in the industry. The smart features and Google assistant integration are what you should buy these earbuds for since the sound quality is not the best for the price. If the best sound output is your priority, you can find better-sounding wireless earbuds for an even lower price.
Pamper Your Pixel
Once you purchase a smartphone, it’s important to get some accessories that complement it and improve the overall experience. You can consider some of these accessories for Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro based on your usage and pick up the ones that appeal the most.
