[Q] Is the Platinum Case really that bad?

I got my Nexus a couple of weeks ago, but I feel like I REALLY NEED a case, but i've heard bad things about it, but is it really that bad?
Or can you recomend me another good quality case?

Dont buy it unless you want dirt to scratch your phone constantly. Check Amazon for TPU/Rubber/Silicone cases which are way better.

Its not bad per se but its not the best. There really aren't a lot of hard case options out there to be honest. I have the platinum for mine but since putting Ghost Armor on my phone I've not felt the need. My wife still has her platinum case on and she seems to like it or at the least not mind it.

Do not double post your questions to get a response.

Do not put that case on ur phone. I had to exchange my phone cuz that case mangled it. The best kind of case to get for this phone is a silicone one. I use the amzer one an love it

How did it mangle your phone? I had it on my phone for a few weeks with no damage and its been on my wife's phone for almost a month, half of which her phone has also had ghost armor on which makes the case a very tight fit and it hasn't even nicked the ghost armor. I just checked.

Sorry! Won't happen again.

It is that bad. Order a case on Amazon. I bought the simple Amzer silicon gel and I love it. Its like six bucks, fits perfect, buttons push really easy and it doesn't seem to attract much lint. They also have a TPU case and some other options. The one at best buy is terrible. Its a little loose, feels slippery in the hand and scratched the back on the phone.

The Best buy case and the amzer are both junk but they are your only choices.

the best buy case is available on ebay for 6.95 shipped. The one from best buy is a generic. I bought it and it's loose and build quality is garbage. I took a eye glass cleaning cloth and stuck it between the back of the phone and the case, and when I snapped it shut, it's much more solid. No more creaking.

It scratched the **** out of my battery cover an put alot of dot scuffs an nicks all over the bezel. Im sure using the case with ghost armor or a zagg would prevent it from hurting the phone but if u dont use anything like that with that case it will mess it up

hopefully not. case mate is a pretty reputable brand, never had any complaints from any of their products and i dont think that the Pop case will disappoint.

I hope not too but a bunch of case an the plastic an tpu cases seem to mark up the phone only the silicone ones seem to not hurt the phone

well those are cheap eBay cases besides.. if it was to cause a scratch or whatever.. it'd take a few days to actually tell if it does scratch the phone or it could of been there before.
Co-molded materials of plastic and soft rubber unite to create a hard case with a soft touch. The lightweight plastic body of the Pop! protects from unforeseeable impacts, while keeping your screen lifted away from surfaces. The Pop! features contemporary color pairings to create a modern look for your device. Rubber sides make for an easy grip. Inside, the soft material hugs your Nexus S like a glove. Not even Batman and Robin are that tight.

from the description.. it doesnt seem like it was scratch, and besides.. the "Pop" is a universal case for many other phones, im sure it would be relatively similar for the Nexus S
personally.. im not too worried, case mate has never ceased to disappoint me

Alright. I just got it in the mail and opened it up. Some things that are easily noticeable
- Contour Case
- Comes with Screen protectors (as every other Case Mate case) & Screen cloth wipe
- Grip does feel better with the sides.
- Cut out holes are perfectly fine.
- Just a little bit bulker but not too much. Maybe a little more than the Tough Case.
- Power / Volume are a lot easier to press.
- Phone isn't all up on the case. But it isn't loose at all.

Overall, a great case. However, after removing the phone from the case several times (over a month or two), the rubber around the corners is tearing.
Will probably end up with a different case that doesn't get destroyed by removal.

Ditto.....loved my pop but it fell apart after just a few weeks.

LG G4 leather with metal bumper case ?

Got one on ebay just like that with no brand name on it About $5. Absolutely creases the leather. Also wore down one edge a bit from when I was doing battery swaps, from taking it on and off. Otherwise nice.

The creases are barely visible. they could probably be massaged out eventually. I'll get a pic today (hopefully)
The way I see it; It's somewhat attractive in itself, it protects the phone from scuffs, scratches, and possibly a cracked screen, etc. far less worrisome outcome than a crease on a $30 replaceable leather back-plate.
...and this is really only a problem if you decide you want to remove the case indefinitely and are annoyed by those creases staring back at you... just drop $30 bucks, problem solved. (Your leather back will wear regardless if it goes uncovered.)
But, I totally get you... whats the point of buying a protective case if it damages the phone? seems backwards, I get it.
I've NEVER seen a phone case that makes a phone look better than one without, or doesn't add weight or bulk...
You gotta compromise somehow.
You could also get an original plastic back, alleviating the whole crease thing for $12-15.
---if you're handy with a Dremel or a small file, try tapering the square edge that touches the leather back, and putting a felt strip there. It wont be visible when the case is on.
...reminds me of my mom, who always puts a cheap plastic film over her iPhone screen to prevent scratches... but in a week the film is full of scratches that the glass would have resisted. The whole point of keeping the screen optically clear is now null and void by that nasty screen cover. If the principle here is to maintaining a good visual appearance, go naked, be careful and run a risk. If you're just trying to protect an investment, cover it up.
For the record, My Z3, S5, Nexus 6, G4 and Note 3, have always gone uncovered. I've dropped the Nexus once, but still haven't learned a lesson from it.

been using that aluminum bumper on my plastic back g4, and it has scratches on the back where the aluminum meets the plastic. I would never put it on a leather back, there's plenty of reviews saying how it damaged the leather backs. It even warns against it in the description. I wouldn't put it on at all without a screen protector on for fear it would damage the front.
It does give the phone a great feel and good protection though.

how does it actually feel on hand ? compare to naked ?
naked g4 feels pretty good but i guess the bumper will destroy the feel ?

also coming from galaxy phones im worried about the chrome bezel. Will it peel after a time ?

I wouldn't buy the LG Leather case. If you look on XDA, many people are complaining about the leather wearing off, simply because they had put the phone in their jean jacket. The LG is $80 and it looks like it is sprayed on.
I purchased the Pierre Cardin from Ebay and it is quite a bit better than the LG...plus only $18 with free shipping.

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

It does provide really good grip which helps you to avoid dropping the slippery phone.
