Google has just unveiled its latest Pixel accessory, and it’s a little different from the usual cases and chargers. The new Google Rope Wristlet is here, offering Pixel owners a stylish way to protect their phones while adding a splash of color. Best of all? It’s priced at just $7.
What Is the Google Rope Wristlet?
The Google Rope Wristlet is a colorful wrist strap designed to secure your Pixel phone while you’re on the move.
- It attaches to your Pixel case through the USB-C port cutout.
- Once secured, the strap loops around your wrist, acting as a safety net against accidental drops.
- The strap comes in three vibrant two-toned color options:
- Purple/Blue
- Black/Grey
- Green/Yellow
According to the Google Store listing, the strap aims to “secure your phone with a burst of fun and let the good times (and good looks) roll.”
Compatibility and Design Details
The Rope Wristlet measures 9 inches long and 3 inches wide, made of durable polyester. Each box includes:
- The rope wrist strap
- A phone insert
- A carabiner ring
While it should work with most Pixel cases that include a USB-C port cutout, there’s one important limitation:
🚫 The Rope Wristlet is not compatible with Pixel Fold phones.
Affordability Meets Utility
At just $7, this is one of Google’s most affordable official Pixel accessories to date. Its affordability makes it an easy add-on for Pixel users who want a mix of style, safety, and practicality.
Unlike many premium accessories, the Rope Wristlet isn’t just about looks — it provides a simple solution to one of the most common smartphone problems: dropping your device.
Part of Google’s Growing Pixel Accessory Ecosystem
The Rope Wristlet isn’t launching alone. Google has been steadily expanding its Pixel 10 accessory lineup, with highlights including:
- Pixelsnap: A MagSafe-style Qi2 wireless charging system designed for Pixel 10 devices.
- Pixel Watch 4 accessories: Offering seamless integration with Google’s wearable ecosystem.
- Official Pixel 10 cases: Featuring built-in magnetic support for Qi2 charging.
The Pixelsnap charger in particular has generated buzz, offering 25W wireless charging and a convenient docked mode that displays the time, weather, and battery percentage. When paired with the Google Home app, Pixel 10 devices can even mimic the experience of a Pixel Tablet while docked.
Why This Matters for Pixel Owners
Google’s strategy is clear: build an ecosystem of affordable, useful, and fun accessories that enhance the Pixel user experience.
The Rope Wristlet might not be groundbreaking, but it fills a very real need: keeping your phone safe while adding personality. Combined with Qi2-powered accessories like Pixelsnap, Google is making sure Pixel users have options that blend both function and flair.
Final Thoughts
At a time when smartphone accessories can often cost as much as budget phones themselves, Google’s $7 Rope Wristlet is refreshingly affordable. It’s colorful, practical, and perfectly timed alongside the Pixel 10’s launch.
Whether you’re clumsy with your phone or just want to show off a stylish strap, this little accessory could quickly become a must-have for Pixel fans.
