Otterbox or sandstone case? - OnePlus 3 Accessories

I'm going to buy a OP3 when it is available in Europe. Together with him the case in the op store. Which is better?

They're totally different...
Do you want a minimal case that helps with grip and very minor falls or do you want something with better protection?

Which is which? Does the Oneplus provide better protection?

For the price you should go for another case : Spigen, Mofi, Tudia, Orzly, ...
Less expensive and same protection as "Official" ones.

So... would cases for the s6 edge be out of the range of possibilities? I don't know how they could make a case for it...

Hey Tayluft!
I'm sure it's going to be a possibility!
Verus and other case-makers have already made cases for them -- it seems like...
I was curious about that toooo but after browsing Amazon and PhoneArena.. it seems like Verus is already selling Edge S6 cases. So we are in luck hahaha.

there will be a decent range i think. check out the Spigen cases, they are among the best. i prefer the Spigen Neo Hybrid because it's pretty slim, nice grip and the side of the frame has that metalized look. have a look Here for a few other high quality Sigpen cases.
Samsung Galaxy 6 Cases
I agree that Spigen cases have solid quality but if you need extra protection you can also consider the OtterBox series like Defender or Symmetry.

Interesting. I guess those chinese factories can make anything, huh? I can't imagine that it would be too difficult to make a case for the phone. It's just a little bit of curved glass.

HAHA, Chinese manufacture can make any thing you can image!!!
Samsung isn't afraid to bring accessory vendors in to have products ready http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...335752011,n:2407760011,k:Galaxy+S6+Edge+Cases unlike apple. There are a ton of cases ready for launch day. Spigen, OtterBox, even Mophie is going to have a charging case for the launch day. That is how partnering with your vendors works.
Haha I don't think that would be a problem. The accessorie vendors will figure out a way.
I suppose all of you are probably right. I'm excited to see what the chinese places make!

I kinda don't want to get a case.... I went naked with my last phone and I would like to continue in that fashion. But the most expensive a phone gets, the more responsibility I feel must be taken into consideration. I just feel like I SHOULD take the extra precaution....
Clear cases along with a nice 3M screen protector on the backside to prevent the inevitable dust from working away at GG4, it did it to the iphone its not indestructible.

Wow that looks great. I'm probably going to go for this as well. I use a spigen case for my Nexus 5. I dropped my N5 countless times and it is still as good as new. Very happy with their product.

Ringke Fusion cases are some of the best cases I have ever owned. super thin, extremely light, good grip.. lives through drops like its nobodies business, and the port covers are a nice added bonus. I also love how they change the feel of the power/side buttons to give a more tactile feel. it was extremely helpful for me with my N6 2014. Honestly, these cases legitimately have an effect on what phone I buy now. Like one of the reasons I don't want the blu XL or Axon pro is purely because reearth hasn't made any cases for those phones. I'm glad to see there is already one for the 5X.
But can we find more cases of another phones on same website ?

+1. Love Diztronic and Cruzerlite TPU cases.
Perhaps its foolish to order four weeks ahead of the 5x delivery date... but the whole thing's been an impulse buy, so I ordered this one last night:
REDShield®[Clear] Slim & Flexible Anti-shock Crystal Silicone TPU Skin Protective Cover for Google Nexus 5X by KarenDeals
Anyone use something similar before? feedback?
ps. I haven't posted enough to include links apparently, apologies for causing headaches and additional tabs...
All TPU are going to be essentially the same.. Only difference is aesthetic and price

Hello,
Here you can add some real life review about the original produits proposed by OnePlus itself for the OP3, like TGSP, case, ...
Thank you.
Getting my Rosewood case tomorrow. Hope will fit well.
Heard it doesn't give too much of a protection and scratches a bit.

yeah you're right. my brother had one on his old oneplus x. The protection wasn´t very good.
I bought me the flip case original from oneplus for my op3. The quality is ok but it have no magnet so the cover get open on its own
After these i bought me finally a Case by Tudia.
Amazon link https://www.amazon.de/Tudia®-OnePlu...id=1473771743&sr=8-4&keywords=oneplus+3+tudia
UK link (i live in germany so you cant use the german link https://www.amazon.co.uk/TUDIA-Slim...id=1473771803&sr=8-3&keywords=oneplus+3+tudia
Its about 16Euros and about 11 pounds
The TPU are harder then i thought and doesn´t bend too much
The plastic shell on the back are like rubbery. It gives you a very good feeling when holding your phone

Aren't they too big for you? I bought Rosewood Case just because it's stylish and slim in the same time. Strong "armours" are great, but they lack in overall appearance of the phone. And even while phone by itself is minimalistic, in case looks like Nokia 3310
But yeah, it's a matter of preferences. I understand yours.
Cheers!

The Case is not too big. It's not an Bullet proof Case.
For me it's perfect and the feeling is much better than with the original Case for me
But everybody have to decide by themself which protection is the best for them
PS: i know the name at Amazon for my case is a little bit strange. It says heavy duty and extreme protection but it's like an normal protection.
But as I said before everyone should buy only one Case which are perfect for themself
I plan on using this.

5T Case Recommendations

Has anyone gotten an especially nice case that they would recommend? One that works with the official screen protector would be best as I think I'm going to get that.
the official red case is nice but i much prefer the one that the 5T comes with.
i also ordered https://www.aliexpress.com/item/cov...s-for-one-plus-5-t-oneplus5t/32841721369.html
Any good bumper cases for the 5T? I see RhinoShield has said they're NOT making a case for the 5T. Emailed Dbrand's to see if they're going to make The Grip for it, but haven't heard back yet. Any other bumper cases out there?

Dbrand said something along the way that they are first focusing on the ones they have initially proposed to produce/release, but they will add to further phones along the way. Once that comes out, I'll get it with the dragon skin.

Not sure if both models come with a case, but the 128 did. It's in the box where the Sim tool is
Can confirm the 64 also came with one, and screen protection as well. Good move from OnePlus.

In addition to the TPU case that comes with the phone (which I didn't know about, either), I got the Sandstone case from the official store.
It is awesome! Totally great feel to the Sandstone texture, grippy, solidly fits the phone, and all the buttons are EXPOSED (which I find to be ideal) as well as the top and bottom of the phone. It has a lip so the screen doesn't touch when face-down, but it's very minimal. I really love the feel of the phone in this case.

It does look great and feels great but as far as protection I think it is really just to avoid scratches to the aluminum casing.

Yeah, I never buy cases for protection beyond scratches. It just makes the phone too bulky and ruins the experience for me.
I spent over 600 dollars on this phone and there's no insurance... Protection is a must

Yes. I wouldn't say they are outstanding, pretty much you get what you pay for. I think that they are slightly lower quality than OtterBox. Less bulky though. I will probably get one if it includes a belt clip
They seem to offer alot of options that mount to their cases. They even have a cupholder flex arm car mount (used to use one that didn't clip the phone years back).
The question is that proprietary mount on the case reliable? If it slips loose, or peels off the case it's a fail. If it's secure and doesn't accidentally come undone it could be a great choice.

in retrospect this isn't the one that I thought it was. I am looking at reviews on Amazon for some of their previous products. Honestly they don't seem very good. I am probably going to pass. But I am like you, and hoping to find a nice rugged case that doesn't add a ton of bulk.
I'm still waiting for Rhinoshield to start selling their case. That's what I'll be getting.

The Ringke Fusion x is due out next week according do another post, I quite like that one.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/accessories/ringke-fusion-x-t3993107
I just got this case to tide me over until something better is released. I'd never even heard of the company, but for just over $10 with shipping I figured I'd give it a shot.
I'd say it's good, but not great. Definitely better than the case that came with the phone.

That fusion x is probably about the best bet. The one I posted is really cool but I'd rather get a product from an American warehouse. The one in op even strips retail packaging for shipment from China unless specified.
Maybe they will end up on Amazon too? Could get both the. Lol >_>
