Originally scheduled for a May 2020 release, Google finally unveiled the Pixel 4a on August 3rd sporting the Snapdragon 730 chipset, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, an AMOLED display, and a $349 price tag.

The microfiber lining helps keep the phone looking pristine and the case also offers a good amount of grip.

If Google's Knit Case is a little on the pricey side of things at $40, perhaps KWMobile's Protective Canvas Cover at just $7.99 is more palatable.
