Those dont provide full coverage though. I also dont see that tudia slim case on US amazon.

I'm hoping @intelliARMOR will support the phone I stopped using other tempered glass ages ago because of their ones.

Ugh, otterbox cases in USA are sold out :| They're not even on otterbox's site

just ordered from the onplus store 1 red 1 white of the otterebox,,will keep an eye out for tempered glass

tempered glass
this was the only one i found on amazon this morning. wrong phone pictured but I'm assuming the title is correct in that its for the OnePlus 3.

note* i just noticed it seems to be back-ordered. it was available for 2-day Prime shipping this morning when I ordered it. we'll see what happens.

Heres a preorder from tudia, not out until the 27.
Also wrore tech 21, spiegen and diztronic to see if they are making any cases.

I ordered this tempered glass screen protector:

I believe I've ordered the same one for my OPO and both of my parents' OPX.
Has anyone seen a good quality thin colored hard cover? All I can find are TPU cases or clear cases, and I'm not a big fan of the ones that oneplus offers on their website. Thanks.

I hope that Ringke comes out with a Fusion case for the OP3. I love how that case has port covers and a loop for a wrist strap.

Same here i always use Ringke Fusion case for all my phones after nexus 4.. early waiting for it...

I ordered a clear tpu case on Amazon just now. As well as a tempered glass protector. I would rather install a sticker screen protector. I feel tempered glass removes a bit of sensitivity.

Otterbox cases are up on their site now: https://www.otterbox.com/en-us/oneplus-3

as I'm already going over my width limit with OnePlus 3, I'm looking for as slim as possible case which would also improve grip (silicon, soft TPU...).
I've seen some 0.3mm silicon cases for Samsung some time ago.
are any of those or similar available for OP3 ?

Anyone know if someone made a battery cover for "a" phone (not jus the OP3) that would cover the lens too and add an extra battery? (just like the OPO, that was thicker)

I contacted Ringke some days ago and they told me that they plans to release covers for One Plus 3, now today i contact them again and i'm waiting for an answer...
Also for me the Ringke cover is a deal breaker...i protected my Nexus 5 with it and i'm really satisfied...it saved my phone a lot of times!

[Useful] Orzly / Ultimate Shield Tempered Glass supported CASES [Useful]

Oneplus 3 is a beautiful device and we all know to protect screen we need to apply a Tempered Glass. So my first TG for OP3 was Orzly. I know some of you dont prefer is due to dot matrix grid / rainbow affect. But for me it was not a problem. Also if you are unhappy with Orzly there is always Ultimate Shield TG which also a full screen TG. Problem with full screen TGs are most of them doesn't support cases specially hybrid cases. After buying some well known case, i've always found that they dont fit well with full screen TGs. But i've found cheap but really high quality Chinese hybrid case which fit well with full screen TGs :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:. So in this thread i will share which cases does support and which doesn't. You guys always welcome to post same thing to help other.. Which supports and which doesn't..

Orzly Tempered Glass + Heavy Duty Armor Shield Hard Shockproof Protector Cover Case : really great protection. Thanks for this really useful post, I avoided unnecessary purchases thanks to you !

Orzly TGSP works fine with Tudia Merge case.
I am using it for a month now, no problems.

No buddy it doesn't fit well in all corner..Thatz the problem

Yes buddy it does fit. I guess you just have to know hot to put your case on.
Take a look.
Everything is fine at the corners. The case is over the glass on every corner.
Edit:
Not trying to start a fight or anything, just maybe some people want to buy this case and by reading your post they will avoid
the Tudia Merge case, a good case by the way, with lots of colors to cheer you up.
And i have to mention that once you know how to, you can take it off and put it back in under one minute.

I'm with crazykas on this one. I thought i had my merge over the tg but with a lot of in and out of pockets it finally popped off.

annoyingly orzly flexi case + orzly tgsp = a load of crap, the case pops the screen of,f how did they not take into account the two products being used together, very disappointing.

Just bought orzly tgs and orzly bumper case. Not 100% compatible but if you pay a lot of attention you can manage to put the cover over the glass. Have particular attention to the corner.
I will test it in the next days..

I really like the Spigen Rugged Armorr Case - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H3PEWDK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2SFKRF5TPZMT5
But i'm worried the tempered glass i want to get won't go well with it. The Yootech one. - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KC1TFKC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3KGQHS00G2MDY
Should i just go for a regular screen protector since the case already has some leap in front. Like the ArmorSuit one - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H85Q8V4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3LQSX85N730QN
Need to order them soon too. Replies would be appreciated.

I think that for example if want to use the orzly grip or the tudia merge case, one other solution would be using a TGSP that does not cover the entire screen, like the first Nilkkin TGSP.So were the case ends the Screen protector will begin.
Just a theory.

I tried the Pleson TGSP, it was craaaaap. Didn't fully adhere to the screen at the top-left corner, I could feel the little gap between it and the screen when I touched it. Just as bad, it partially blocked the front-facing camera....I haven't seen a well-reviewed TGSP for the OP3 yet, at least none that didn't seem like they weren't bought from the company selling the protectors "in exchange for an unbiased review"
I went with the IQ Shield, and while I don't know that it would fare as well as tempered glass in something like a fall or direct impact to the screen, it's plenty scratch resistant for my needs (I keep it in my front pocket), goes on very easily, doesn't feel like it's going to come off unless I really try/want it to, and fits great with the Spigen Rugged Armor case I've got. The IQ Shield and the ArmorSuit look a lot a like in terms of the design and what they're intended for (scratch resistance vs. shatter resistance you'd find with a TGSP.)
Regarding the case, I've got both the Rugged Armor and the Neo Hybrid, and I like the Neo Hybrid just a little bit better. It feels a tiny bit more durable than the Rugged Armor, I think owing to the plastic bumper around the edge of the phone/case. It's not the Slim Armor that I had with my Nexus 5 in terms of rigidity, but either one should do you just fine if you like Spigen products. I'll probably end up switching back and forth periodically between the two, anyway.

Wow. Thanks alot for this man. I'll send you a PM and see if i can get some pictures from you. I need to order in the next 1 or 2 hours to have it delivered quickly with Amazon Prime.
This one? - https://www.amazon.com/OnePlus-Prot...472498142&sr=8-1&keywords=IQ+Shield+oneplus+3
I think if not getting a TG, it makes more sense to get the Neo Hybrid instead of the Rugged Armor?

Is there a cover full transparent supported by the orzly tempered glass?

Otterbox vs UAG

I just got a OnePlus 8T+ 5G today ( T-Mobile ) and need to get a case. For my last two phones, I have used UAG and I have been happy with them. Reading the specs, it seems like Otterbox has testing above and beyond what UAG does (milspec) so I am considering that option too, but the back of the Otterbox cases feels a bit smoother and less grippy than UAG.
Two options I am considering:
Sites-ob_us-Site
OtterBox cases, power, screen protection, and accessories protect and empower your digital world.
www.otterbox.com
Monarch Series Cases | Urban Armor Gear
The UAG Monarch Series protective cases are the most rugged and durable on the market. They offer military drop-test protection for all your Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Motorola, Google, Microsoft, HP, and LG products.
www.urbanarmorgear.com
Only $10 price difference, so that isn't a factor. My main concern is protecting the phone. The UAG seems to provide good protection and feels a bit more grippy than the Otterbox, but I know Otterbox is a known solid design.
Any thoughts on those two?

I have both. I'm kind of a case hoarder, trying to find the perfect case. I drop my phone often because my hands randomly spasm.
Which case is better comes down to 1 question: will you be using anything other than your phone in the case?
The OtterBox + glass screen protector did well. The UAG + screen protector didn't do nearly as well. It broke more often, faster.
If you're sticking anything additional in, like a thin metal plate for sticking to magnetic holders like you put in your car, it will be too thick for either case. I rather like using a lanyard and found this thin pad that sits behind a phone and had a strap coming out the charging hole of your case with a small keychain loop....even that's too thick. The metal sheet or my thin pad causes the screen protector to protrude too far out from the case. 1 drop and they'll break.
Bare phone, either will work very well.
If I had to pick between them protection wise, the OtterBox probably has it.
If you have your heart set on the UAG, I have a better suggestion: get the Poetic Affinity case. It's less than half the price and better IMO than the UAG.

A case very similar to the OtterBox but maybe with BETTER protection is the Spigen Tough Armor. It has these yellow foam pads inside, and is similar to hold. It's technically 2 pieces but in the real world it appears very very similar to OtterBox if not better.

Virtually every single case has the same flaw though: there is a very bad soft spot in the case...every case....over the ring mode selector slider (silent\vibrate\ring). Some cases it's not quite as bad than others. But it's been present on every case I've tried except 2. And those cases fixed the issue by sandwiching the phone in between 2 hard pieces:
One was a heavy as hell all metal case that's a MONSTER in size and weight, and most people will hate, but does an incredible job protecting the phone. And it uses any old 3rd party glass screen protector. Your floor will be dented by falls, not your phone! (this is currently my case).

The other is the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro... an all plastic case that doesn't let you use a glass screen protector, you have to use their built in thin film screen protector that SUCKS and makes the case useless. It doesn't have the so called soft spot. But the lack of glass screen protector kills it for me.
It does come with a not so great belt holster though if anyone wants that.

The UAG is available on Amazon
However the case doesnt really protect the screen the lips are not raise enough.
Its too Flush
I choose the Poetic Affinity instead not only its cheaper
the lips in the front actually protect the screen

If the Poetic Affinity for the 8t is anything like the one on the 3t, that thing can take a beating

IMO i have had multiple (4) phones (samsung, oneplus and pixel) and I have used uag with a dbrand skin underneath and it's always been an awesome mix for looks for me

Hey, I'm thinking of taking affinity or uag, depending on this following question: do poetic cases get yellow over time?
*I found something on google that says that uag plasma cases stay pure transparent, but nothing useful about poetic

Over the past 8 year I’ve had 5 otterbox defenders. They all served well. My biggest issue with them is there is always going to be a thin section that always breaks over time. That all truly depends on how much it drops and how hard it drops. Some of them come with their own screen protection which can be convenient but also annoying. They don’t bind to the screen so it can cause unresponsive touches. Otterboxes do come with port covers to protect from dust.
I tried out UAG 2.5 years ago and it outlasted all of my otter boxes. And it’s still going strong. It barely even has a scratch on it. It’s been accidentally ran over by a Ford 150 too lol. Nothing is breaking on it. Nothing is warped. It’s taken harder falls than all my otterboxes and it is still perfectly intact. UAG does not come dust covers. I will point out that the dust covers fall apart and they damage your phone chargers because they always push on them. Dust covers can also damage your ports because it’s pushing your chargers on the side of them. I’ve had 2 charge ports go bad because of that. Newer phones now are waterproof/water resistant so it won’t hurt your phone just to wash the dust out. So to be honest dust covers are not necessary and are more inconvenient now.
My personal preference is a UAG + Zagg screen protector. Zaggs have a lifetime warranty. You buy one and it’s good for the remainder of the phone’s life or if you buy another phone that is compatible to it. Iphone 11 and 12s use the same protector size.
I dropped using otterboxes when I discovered UAGs. They are the toughest phone cases I’ve ever had. I even had Specks that were more durable than my otterboxes. Otterboxes cost more and seem to be a lot less durable from my experience.

I'm currently on a search for a rugged case and came across your post. Are you still using the metal case? If so, do you mind giving us a quick recap of how it's holding up after all these months? and would you recommend it over other cases?
Thanks!

I browsed the thread for thin cases, and while there are some good suggestions there, I think I'd like to go with something a little beefier.
What are some favorites in the not thin category? Right now I'm leaning towards the
Spigen Tough Armor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GF9554...olid=1QS9U7KHNWE1G&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it, which doesn't look to be too huge and bulky but I wouldn't consider it thin either.
Anything else?

Thin cases with little protection don't cut it.
For my 10+ the Zizo Bolt case is near perfect. Not very thick or bulky with excellent drop protection... I've inadvertently tested more than I care to
Unfortunately this phone is still too new, in time one will be punched out for it.
Here's one for the 7T

Get a case with good corner/face plant with a raised cam guard for now. A two layered case with a outer polycarbonate shell and a stiff urethane liner seem to do best which one reason a like the Bolt so much. I rarely use the snap on clip back (3 layers) but when in it the phone is very well protected.

I just got my order in. I've had several Poetic cases and I've been very happy with all of them. I've got one on my 7 Pro and 8 can't wait to pop this one on my 8T https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NHTTPXT?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I use this Spigen Case on my 8T, pretty happy with it

I have both the Spigen Hybrid , nice case but a finger print magnet.. the Tough Armor is really nice my main case though I wish it came without the little kick stand.. and the Ringke Fusion Camo version is also really nice similar to the Hybrid but with way less finger prints..

I love my dbrand Grip case. It goes over the edges of the screen, feels sturdy, has extra grip on the sides, has a microfiber backing on the inside, and is just all-around solid. Been using it for almost four months now.
