Pixel 11 Pro Fold Latercase Review: Super Thin, With Magnets

Quick summary: Latercase’s case for the Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold is very thin and light, almost skin-tight. It gives you some protection and, new this year, a built-in magnet.

In the box

• The back piece, which comes in different colors and has an interesting cutout design this year.
• A front piece. Some thin cases skip front protection, but this one doesn’t.
• Extra adhesive, in case you remove the case or want it tighter. Adhesive comes pre-installed, so peel the backing off.

Installing

The thin edge goes on the left side of the phone. Snap it on and hold it in place for a few seconds so the adhesive sticks.

Using it

Everything lines up. The hinge is exposed, which is the trade-off for being so thin and light, and for some people that matters most. It lifts the phone ever so slightly when it’s laid flat open. It isn’t a grip case and is a tiny bit slippery, but less than many cases, and it adds almost no weight.

The magnet works with grips like the SnapGrip and with wireless charging without losing magnetic strength. Camera protection is pretty good all the way around. Only the edges and hinge are exposed, which should be fine unless you drop it on cement. You can add a glass protector to the front if you want.
