Now that the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL have started rolling out, the next thing to look out for is the accessories that complement them.
Google has a ton of them in store, and they're arguably some of the best of the best in the game, which give all the more reason to grab one of the company's flagship phones.
At that, here are some Pixel 2 accessories worth buying.
Live Case (Starts From $40)
The Live Case can be chalked up to Google's craftiest works. It's available in three themes: Photos, Artworks, and Places. More than that, there's a Google Earth Live Case too.
One interesting bit regarding the Places Live Case is that "when you're on the move, your wallpaper updates to your current location," Google says. Meanwhile, Photos gives users the option to turn their wallpapers into a slideshow of sorts of their favorite, well, photos; the same goes for Artworks, but the wallpaper will cycle through accompanying art and designs instead.
Now they all share one thing in common: there's an NFC button on the back. Unlike other buttons out there (read: Bixby), it can be set to open the camera, toggle the Wi-Fi, show the next wallpaper in the cycle, toggle the flashlight, and even open any app on the Pixel 2.
Take note that when it's popped on, the phone will download and install the My Live Case app from the Play Store.
Pixel 2 Case ($40)
The Pixel 2 Case is as simple as it gets, but its biggest plus is its design and feel. In short, it really feels like it'll keep the Pixel 2 safe and sound while making it look great at the same time.
OtterBox Defender Series ($49.95)
For those who put the Pixel 2's integrity above all else, the OtterBox Defender Series is just the thing. It features a "multi-layer defense" that consists of a solid polycarbonate shell and rubber slipcover to protect the phone from not only dust and scratches but also drops.
Power Support Air Jacket ($34.95)
In itself, the Pixel 2 is one good-looking phone, and anyone who wants to show it off will find the Power Support Air Jacket to be the perfect fit.
It's simple, really. It's just a see-through polycarbonate case that comes with a "self-healing coating" to help it retain that brand-new look.
Moment Photo Case & Wide Lens Kit ($129.99)
Boasting an excellent camera coupled with the image processor that is the Pixel Visual Core, the Pixel 2 can already take impressive shots. However, the Moment Photo Case & Wide Lens Kit will take things up a notch further.
Pixel Buds ($159)
As everyone knows, Google decided to drop the headphone jack from the Pixel 2 — with good reason too. The thing is, not everyone's happy about that.
At any rate, the company's solution is the Pixel Buds, a pair of Bluetooth earphones that can even translate conversations in real time.
Sure, a lot of people aren't ready to embrace the age of wireless audio peripherals just yet, and that's why there's the USB-C Digital to 3.5 mm headphone adapter, which was dropped to a mere $9.
Just to be clear, those aren't all of Google's Pixel 2 accessories. There are a lot more out there, but these are the ones that just really catch the eye.
