PinePhone Hardware Accessory Compatibility
List of devices that have been tried on the PinePhone, and the results.
Protection
Screen protector
The official screen protector can be found in the Pine64 store under PinePhone Tempered Glass Screen Protector.
Most screen protectors for the iPhone 11 Pro Max and the iPhone XS Max fit the PinePhone (if the top notch is not obscured by a black foil or similar).
Case
The Pine store got official cases:
- PinePhone Hard Protective Case
- PinePhone Soft TPU Protective Case - "Reduce Digital Gap" Donation Program
Tight-fit cases of other phones can't be alienated for the PinePhone due as most times the proportions and/or camera notch won't fit. The phone can however also be used with "phone sleeves", such as those from fitBAG. The sleeve from fitBAG for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro is fitting the PinePhone very tightly.
Peripheral equipment
Note: if you tested any of the listed entries with an "Unknown" in any column, please feel encouraged to fill it in. (Even if you aren't the original tester who originally added the row!)
