OFFCUP 45mm Apple Watch Case for Series 9/8 with 9H Glass, Blue 2-Pack
Product description
Choosing watch protection often comes down to whether you want a separate screen film or a cover that combines screen protection and edge coverage. This OFFCUP case brings a built-in tempered glass screen protector together with a hard PC shell, so the watch can be covered in one piece rather than protected with separate accessories.
It is listed for the 45mm Apple Watch Series 9 (2023) and Series 8, with the product details also naming Series 7. The blue finish gives the case a visible change in appearance as well as a protective role, so check the watch model on its back before choosing it.

The cover extends across the screen and curved edges, and its cut-outs are designed to leave the buttons accessible. A hollow back allows charging without taking the case off. The glass is described as ultra-thin, with touch sensitivity intended to remain responsive, however, this is not a guarantee that every interaction will feel identical once fitted. Buyers give positive feedback on fit and protection, while reports on installation and touch response are mixed. Some also describe cracking or scratching, so it is sensible to treat the cover as a replaceable layer rather than assume it will remain unmarked indefinitely.
How to use it
Check the model and 45mm size before fitting, as the product covers only the listed watch variants. The case is designed to be installed and removed without tools, and the charging opening means it can stay on during charging. For a practical day-to-day scenario, it may suit someone who wants the watch covered while commuting, working or doing routine tasks where the screen could be knocked or scratched.
Would a built-in protector make more sense than fitting a screen film separately? It may, if you prefer one cover for the screen and edges, a separate protector is a different approach if you do not want a case around the watch. The key trade-off here is water: the listing says the case is not water resistant and advises removing it for swimming or bathing, as water can collect underneath. It is therefore intended for everyday dry use, not as swim protection.
Everyday use
The two-case pack gives you a spare cover, while the fitted glass avoids handling a separate screen protector during installation. Access to the buttons and charging from the back are useful details for a case that is meant to remain on during normal use. Buyer feedback is encouraging on fit, appearance and protection, but less consistent on fitting and touch response, some people report that touches, particularly near the edges, do not register reliably. These differences matter if you rely on quick taps throughout the day, so the cover is a more considered choice for someone prioritising physical coverage over an entirely uncovered feel.
It suits you if you have a listed 45mm watch and want a hard shell with screen coverage in the same accessory. You may want to skip it if you need protection while swimming or bathing, or if you would rather keep the watch screen and curved edges uncovered by a case.
Buying verdict
The OFFCUP is a straightforward way to add a blue PC case and built-in 9H glass to a compatible 45mm Apple Watch, with two cases included and charging access retained. Its strongest reason to choose is the combined coverage, its clearest caveat is that it must be removed around water, and buyer reports on touch response are not uniformly positive. If those conditions fit your routine, it offers a more enclosed style of protection than a screen-only film. If uninterrupted touch response or water use is your priority, this particular design is less suitable.
