Interesting. Some screen protectors for the iPhone XS Max are considered compatible with the PinePhone. The 7.7mm depth of the iPhone XS Max falls outside the limits of my case search, but it makes sense that a soft shell case that does not need a screen lip can be more tolerant of depth mismatch.
As a side note, the screen of the iPhone XS Max curves at the sides similar to the PinePhone. Many edge-to-edge glass screen protectors for the iPhone XS Max appear to have an opaque border (presumably to hide the lack of adhesion there). I bought one of these edge-to-edge glass screen protectors, but haven't installed it yet. It looks like the installation will need to be very accurate to avoid covering any pixels on the PinePhone.
