Google has decided to diversify its offer of accessories with an unexpected, but rather practical product: a collection of Polish wrinkle wrist lacesdesigned mainly for Pixel devices but compatible with a wide range of smartphones.
A discreet but captivating diversification in a market – that of accessories – which is traditionally manned by cover and chargers.

A versatile accessory for all smartphones
The new Google Rope Wristlet It is a wrist lacce that adapts to the habits of those who want to bring their smartphone safely and practically, reducing the risk of accidental falls. In fact, the coupling system uses a spring clip that connects to a thickness equipped with D Ring, which is positioned between the cover and the back of the phone.
Although it is marked specifically for Pixel devices, the compatibility of the product extends to any smartphone equipped with a USB-C port and used with a protective cover. A reference to the concept of universality that for Google constitutes a certainly interesting strategic choice and that offers the possibility of reaching a much wider audience than Pixel owners only.
How the hooking system works
The most interesting feature of the Google Rope Wristlet is probably the attachment system. In fact, unlike the traditional laces that require specific holes on the cover or dedicated hooks, the system uses the natural space between the phone and its protection. The thickness with D Ring is directly inserted into this crack, creating a solid hook point without compromising the aesthetic of the device.
The approach is certainly not new in the world of smartphone accessories, but Google was among the first large technological companies to officially adopt it.
Which smartphones cannot use Google laces
Despite the versatility of this system, there is an important limitation that Google has clearly specified: the Rope Wristlet is not in fact compatible with the series Pixel Fold Due to the constructive characteristics of the folding devices, which require special covers designed to adapt to the opening and closing mechanics.
The folding smartphone covers, in fact, do not fully adhere to all four sides of the device such as those of traditional phones, leaving spaces necessary for the movement of the hinges. In doing so, they make the use of the Google Rope Wristlet hooking system impossible, which requires a uniform and stable space between the phone and the cover.
Price and colors of the Laccetti
Google has chosen to launch the Wristlet Rope in three chromatic combinations that reflect current trends in Tech accessories design. The variant Purple/Blue combines cold shades for an elegant and professional look, while the version Green/Yellow focuses on a lively and youthful contrast. For those who prefer a more sober style, the combination is available Black/Graywhich easily adapts to every tone.
The fact that these chromatic choices do not specifically follow the palette of the new pixels 10, confirms that Google has designed this accessory as a standalone product rather than as a complement of a specific generation of devices.
The price of the Google Rope Wristlet is equal to 7 dollars.
