With Google’s Pixel 10 launch just days away, leaks have already revealed nearly every detail of the upcoming Google lineup. Now, images of the official first-party cases for the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL have surfaced online.

Shared by Dutch publication Nieuwemobiel, the leaked images confirm the support for the “Pixelsnap” magnetic accessory system among other things. Here’s everything we know based on the recent leak.

Pixel 10 Series – Official Cases’ Images Leaked

Nieuwemobiel shared images showing the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro XL cases in several colours. The Pixel 10 and Pro are pictured in Indigo, Obsidian, Limoncello, and Frost, while the Pro XL appears in Moonstone, Jade, and Porcelain. As with last year’s Pixel 9 lineup, the standard Pixel 10 and the smaller Pixel 10 Pro are likely to share the same case design.

At first glance, the cases look similar to previous generations, but a key new detail stands out. Inside the cases, a circular magnet ring is clearly visible beneath the soft fabric lining, a design commonly used in magnetic cases from Apple and other brands.

Although there’s no official confirmation in the case images alone, earlier reports have already indicated that Google’s cases will include magnets.

In recent years, many Android manufacturers have relied on cases to add “MagSafe”-style magnetic compatibility. Google initially skipped the idea with its own cases, leaving third-party “Made for Google” partners to embrace it for the Pixel 9 series. This time, however, leaks suggest that the Pixel 10 models will feature magnets built directly into the phone’s chassis with matching magnets in the official cases to enhance connectivity.

In fact, other leaks strongly point to the Pixel 10 series including the standard, Pro, and Pro XL shipping with built-in magnets to support Qi2 wireless charging. The case magnets simply extend that functionality, ensuring a stronger connection for compatible accessories.

The Pixel 10 family along with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will officially debut on August 20 during Google’s “Made by Google” event. The showcase is also expected to feature the Pixel Buds 2a and the Pixel Watch 4.
