Quick answer

If you own a Pixel 10 Pro XL, the Pixel 10 Pro XL Rugged Case is the only precise fit; the Pixel 8 Pro Rugged Case is designed for a different model and won't match.

Why fit matters for protection

A rugged case only works when it fits your phone exactly. Loose edges let in dust and reduce impact resistance, while a too-tight case can damage buttons or ports. Both the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL Rugged Case and the Pixel 8 Pro Rugged Case are engineered for specific models, so swapping them isn't an option.
