So I chose the red version of the fusion case because red is my favourite colour and also matches OnePlus' colour scheme!
The case is built incredibly well and all of the cutouts for the ports (such as the headphone jack, charging cable and speaker) are in the correct places and are aligned perfectly. This case, while not the thinnest, is still very slim and doesn't add much bulk to the phone - and it also offers much more protection than thin cases.

The case also is thick enough on the back to be flush with the camera bump and has a cutout for the microphone and LED. It is also clear so you won't have to hide the beautiful aluminium design of the OnePlus 3 (especially if you get the Soft Gold version of the OnePlus 3 - which is not yet released but soon will be) and if you want to use a skin from Slickwraps/dbrand you will be able to without hiding it.
(I have a bought a skin, but haven't installed it yet and I'll try to update this post with pictures)
The buttons, even though they are covered with plastic, are still somehow very tactile and have indications on what the buttons do (VOL UP/DOWN + POWER) which is quite cool. The cutout for the alert slider is the perfect size but it is slightly hard to get to, which is a minor issue for me as I do not change it very much and it prevents accidentally changing it.
While others have had problems with using this case with the Orzly 2.5D Pro Screen protector, I have had no such problems and this promises to be a great combination for me. In conclusion, this is a perfect case for someone who doesn't want to hide the design of their OnePlus 3 and still wants protection against bumps, scratches and drops. However, a minor issue with the case is that the alert slider cut-out is quite hard to get to.

(After reading Troute thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8524153&postcount=1 , I think need to share my experience with a few photo with has similar position like what Troute had shared his experience in using Pdair Leather Case in his thread)
Yesterday, I received my Pdair Leather Case for Dell Streak 5 - Flip Type (Black) which I ordered directly from their website & I want to share a few info with all dell streak owner here.
Please visit this page for additional info http://www.pdair.com/index.php/smartphone-cell-phone-pda/dell/dell-streak-5-5-inch/leather-case-for-dell-streak-5-flip-type-black.html
The packaging that I received was in dark brown color also with additional protective cover which covered the case. The flip case itself was in black color, same as showed in their website, It has 3 credit card slots (but if you refer to the website, it state that this case only have 2 slot, but actually it has 3 slot. The material that been used was really good and it amazed me...:good:... I really like the stitching lining around the case which was very beautiful (in white color)

5 speaker holes have been punched nicely on the back cover
as you can see, this case has 3 slot instead of 2.
The device fits firmly enough into the case once you have pushed it all the way in, The main concern here is that the wide open area which near the proximity sensor area. When your screen in portrait mode, it's really hard to swipe down the toggle notification because of the wide open area itself was not 5" as per describe (I think maybe only 4.95")...... , so when you want to scroll down the toggle, your hand will touch the leather instead of screen.
This case price from the website was $50.00 and free deliveery worldwide (Malaysian currency RM160.00). I choose to buy this cases instead of Melcko is because of the price, which Pdair a little bit more cheaper than Melcko. Beside the minor problem that I mention above, I'm satisfied with this Pdair Flip Cases.
(I want to say sorry sorry because of my English was not very good)...
I bought the black carbon fiber exoshield skin for the Verizon LG G2. It cost a total of $17.79 shipped to me. The material is 3M carbon fiber, and the texture itself feels like good quality. Unfortunately it doesn't do anything to add grip to the phone, and I might even say that it actually feels a little more likely to slip out of my hand than the stock back. The skin itself is pretty easy to apply as the material allows multiple attempts to line it up perfectly and I feel like I have lined it up as perfectly as I possibly can. There is also a part that goes on the front which I chose not to put on. Unfortunately, it seems like there is just no way to line up and adhere the corners satisfactorily, it just seems impossible the edges stick up. Visually I am not really that picky, however every time I hold the phone, I can physically feel the corner edges of the skin against my hand, which bugs the crap out of me. Now I have heard that a blow dryer may help, so I will try to to get ahold of one to see if it helps, I will update if I see an improvement. As it is now at $18, I cannot recommend this skin unless you know that you wouldn't be bothered by this. I would however highly recommend the dizitronic case (which I also have) if you want some very good looking protection for your G2.
TL/DR I wouldn't recommend this skin because the back corners are extremely difficult, if not impossible to adhere and line up properly, the phone feels more slippery, it doesn't really offer much protection and its pretty expensive.
Note: the corners in Pictures 2 and 4, it looks like there's just no way to physically line them up, because the end material is rounded

I apologize for the quality, these pictures were taken from my retired Galaxy Nexus. I will update this if anything changes. Feel free to ask questions.
Ballistic Urbanite
No affiliation with any merchant, here is my honest opinion. I am in it for just the "thanks" and good conversation.
I have this same model case for my Note 4 and I absolutely love it so I was excited to find an LG G4 version. It is NOT available on Amazon, the best place to get is direct from the manufacturer. It shipped quickly:
https://www.goballisticcase.com/shop/lg/lg-g4/urbanite/
SIZE: Feels surprising slim. The hour glass shape make it quite narrow in the middle.
GRIP: Glossy surface is comfy to hold but it feels very secure to hold because of the case's waist curve.
PROTECTION: The corner bumpers are very pronounced and in effect make a large lip to protect the phone. Advertised as "6 foot drop tested" and I am inclined to believe it
DURABILITY: This MIGHT get cosmetic cracks if removed and replaced frequently. (Based on my Note 4 version). On the other hand those cracks were on that phone's narrow bridge between the side volume buttons and the camera. The LG 4 does not have side volume button thus no narrow bridge. That area looks to be much stronger. I really don't think this one will suffer from the cracks but I'll let you know. Please comment if you run into them.
INSTALLATION: Easy to put on and remove from phone.
EASE OF USE: The buttons are covered. The jury is still out on this but is seems to reduce the wonderful tactile feel of the naked phone's controls. I'll let you know if we get used to it.
APPEARANCE:The slick gloss surface makes it a bonnie little case. It does say "BALLISTIC" in dark grey on the lower part of the side but I don't think it is that obnoxious. It actually adds a little more grip to that part so it works functionally.

All the looks of the phone is lost....

The Orzly FlexiCase for the OnePlus 3 has a simple design and covers the whole phone so it offers good protection against scratches and bumps on your device. As it is very slim and lightweight, it may not offer the best protection against drops from high levels, but it also means it isn't heavy to hold and it is hard to tell a difference in weight between the case being on and off. Even though it is very thin, it is still is flush with the camera bump of then phone so you don't have to worry about that

The transparent design of the case is simple but allows you to show of the aluminium/soft gold of the phone which is great if you don't want it to be hidden. Also, if you are also using a skin from Slickwraps/dbrand you can show that of too and still have good protection with this case.
[I will add pictures with slickwraps skin on later]
All of the cutouts are in the right place so you can charge the phone and/or plug in headphones without having to remove the case.
Also the LED and microphone at the back of the OnePlus 3 isn't covered which is good. Although the volume buttons and the power button is also covered with plastic, the buttons are still all very tactile and aren't difficult to press. There is also a cutout for the alert slider, which is very easy to access and change profiles (Silent/Priority/All).
Furthermore, as the case is flexible, it makes installing and removing the case a breeze, and due to its flexibility it fits with the tempered glass screen protector from Orzly perfectly for me.
To conclude, this case is great for anyone looking for a cheap case looking for good protection on their OnePlus 3 without having to hide its great design.
Yet again another biased review. I agree, case is great. The TGSP isn't. It doesn't work with the case at all.

It looks fine in the pics
Just ordered an S23 and would be putting a case on it from day 1.
Where I work, especially in summer, is crazy dusty. On my old phones the usb port would need to be cleaned out weekly and eventually would just die.
I'm looking for a case that covers the usb port. Ottorbox Defender is the classic. I've had a Supcase UB Pro on a different phone before but the kickstand broke in a week and I wasn't overly impressed.
Are there any other options? Bonus points if it can keep dust out of the speakers and mics as well.

Okay before you get the case, I would highly recommend you to get a Full-Body Protector for the device. Since you mentioned dusty, using cases would cause dust to get settled inside the device and can cause permanent scratches or marks on the back side of the device especially if its a glass back the marks would be more. Ive faced this on multiple devices so I went with a Skins on my S23 which I bought from Gadgetshieldz. There is also a Full-Body Scratch Protector which is fully transparent that they also provide. You can check these out cause these scratches can decrease the resale value of your device cause they end up being permanent.
Edit - Adding my Skin pics, I recently wrapped it with a new set of skins
