A Simple but Useful New Pixel Add-On
Google has quietly introduced a new accessory for its Pixel phones, and while it’s not a major gadget, it’s one many users may find surprisingly useful. The “Pixel Rope Wristlet,” as it’s officially called, is designed to keep your phone secure while adding a touch of color to your daily carry.
Design and Build Quality
Comfortable and Lightweight
The design is simple: a woven polyester strap that loops onto your Pixel’s case through the USB-C cutout. It slips around your wrist, acting as a safety tether when you’re walking, commuting, or just juggling too many things at once.
Size and Colors
The strap measures about 9 inches long and 3 inches wide, giving it a comfortable fit without feeling bulky. Google is offering it in three two-tone color styles—purple/blue, black/grey, and green/yellow—so you can pick one that fits your personal look.
Features and Compatibility
Everyday Safety
As for features, there aren’t many high-tech details here. Think of it as a low-cost solution to an everyday problem: dropping your phone.
Case and Charging Support
It doesn’t add weight, doesn’t block charging, and doesn’t interfere with your case, so long as the cutout is there. One limitation is that it’s not compatible with the Pixel Fold lineup, which makes sense given the hinge design.
Price and Availability
The price is perhaps the biggest selling point. At just $7 through the Google Store, the Rope Wristlet is an easy add-on to your next Pixel purchase. In the box, you’ll get the strap itself, a phone insert, and a small carabiner ring for attachment.
Final Thoughts
It’s not flashy, but it’s practical. For anyone who’s ever fumbled their phone on a busy street or train platform, this small strap could be a simple way to add both peace of mind and a little personality to the Pixel experience.
