1. Are you a thin TPU film protector with a thicc case. The films are usually very cheap but can require skills to apply. Usually the shops charge you a lot of money just for the labor cost. The thicc case is… well thicc, e.g. Otterbox.

  2. Or are you a tempered glass / thin case? Tempered glass are expensive up front but they are so easy to install these days. Most came with a tray to help.

  3. Or even tempered glass / thick case for that maximum thiccness?

Or just any protector and naked?

I ask because i’ve been having problems finding a perfect screen for my pixel 9 pro. I want privacy and matte but those only come in TPU. There does exist a tempered glass privacy matte version but that causes problem with the fingerprint sensor.

    I have a tempered glass screen protector on my pixel 10. I have it wrapped in a dbrand ninja turtle skin. I haven’t used a phone case in at least 8 years.

    Dbrand leather skin on the back to give me grip, then one of those ohsnap things superglued to the skin. It’s handy and offsets the camera bump, making it sit nicely. Thin glass protector on the front.

    I hate the glass screen protectors. Naked screen. Single layer medium plasticy case with the mag circle on the back because my last car had the magnetic attachment thing.

      used to hate the plastic-y feel, but with tempered glass i feel virtually no difference and the peace of mind of not worrying is worth so much to me… every phone ive ever had ended up shattered lmao

    Fairly thin magnetized case and thin screen protector on S26 Ultra. The built-in privacy filter means I don’t need anything beefier for a screen protector. Also have an OhSnap on the back for holding, which also helps even out the camera bump(s)

      oh yeh the Ultra series is the tricky one. My relative has a S24 ultra. On its own, the anti reflection works so well; such that putting anything else on would just make it worse.

    Generally, I go with a fairly robust case. Supcase makes my favorite ones, with poetic being runner-up that’s essentially the same basic idea. I tend to favor the ones with a built in paid plastic protector though. Since the cases have a solid lip on them, it saves me having to fuck with application. Arthritis is a bitch
