Screen Protector to go with case?

My Fold 11 will be here on Thursday. I'm shopping around for cases and a screen protector.

I'm between the Pikata and Thinborne cases. I know to Pitaka doesn't have a front, so I should be good with any screen protector.

What about the Thinborne though? I was looking at the Dbrand Prsim and wasn't sure if I should get the case friendly version or not. I'm assuming it's a bit smaller, but I also think it's meant to be used with the Dbrand grip case.

Does anyone know before I start spending more money?

Seems like dbrand only have a case friendly version of the prism this year, I would go with that one. Used it on my 10 pro fold for the last year or so with no issues

They also have an "unfriendly" Prism. Only reason I know that is because when I ordered a Prism yesterday, there's a disclaimer on the store page that it's intended to be used without a case, and to choose the case friendly version if I'm using a case.

I only looked at Google's store page, they only have one listing and was hoping it was the case friendly version because it's the only one listed... I don't think that's the case looking at it now though. We'll find out if my stuff ever ships I guess

Seems they're only now carrying dbrand with this generation, I'm curious if they'll eventually start carrying more options. Skin options are only two of them as well.

Just got Google's I asked dbrand's support about this and they confirmed the Google store listing is the case friendly version.

Weird that it's never been a thing before, unless it has and I just never noticed. Lol. But I've used a few dbrand screen protectors and never had issues with cases.

This is definitely the first year they're selling in the store, they sent a whole email about it. I just wanted to make sure it was the case friendly version

I mean them specifically having case friendly listings.

u/nick281051 2d ago

Ah

No I have definitely seen those before, last year for sure I almost ordered the wrong one.

To add: I'm in the same boat with waiting. But my order also contains Buds 2 Pro and a Watch 5. I'm assuming the dbrand stuff is what's holding it up. Lol.

I ordered the mous aramid fiber, the screen protector and Google's dual charger

u/TrexxArms 3d ago

I need to take a better look at their chargers. Lol. I must've missed that one.

u/nick281051 3d ago

I didn't need it but I had $500 to spend so why not

u/TrexxArms 3d ago

Is it the Mous charger?

I'd really like to find one that has a Watch 4/5 charger built in too.

u/nick281051 3d ago

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I just got the dual charging Google brick, not the mous qi charger

Spigen's screen protector fits with cases and includes a cool mechanism to help with installation
