One of the reasons I purchased the OnePlus one was for the great idea of being able to change over the swapstyle cases. I was really interested in the bamboo and kevlar swapstyle cases. But after seeing today on the OnePlus forums oneplus employee Carl today stated that they have stopped making them and only have a few cases of what people can by.

I don't know of about any one else but I feel abit let down as I was genuinely looking forward to getting some.
Yes. I was looking forward to using the bamboo style. Fingers crossed on a third party building the style swap covers.

You can get the at aliexpress I think. And Op are selling on the stock they got at the moment do try sending an email to them asking for 1.

Or bamboo https://dbrand.com/shop/oneplus-one
I don't really care about the bamboo but I would really like a different color backplate (the silk white one looks so nice). Are there any third parties that sell a replaceable backplate for the OnePlus One in different colors?
Personally I'm okay with them stopping production as long as this helps them ramp up production to sell their phone without invite systems.
Fair play for them coming out and saying this. Yes, it's annoying but better to leave them than release sub-par accessories

Just a shame as it was a nice touch for an accessory.
Yet another disappointement coming from that "Honest Company".
I was looking forward to buying the bamboo case. I guess I'll have to stay with my aliexpress case.

Has anyone ordered the bamboo swap cover from aliexpress ? it says 60 B days. idk if its worth it or not. I really want the bamboo cover and not the case. Also how are the dBrand skins ? I have the sandstone back
The back cases was a unique selling point for this device, but I don't think this will be the last we hear of it. I have a feeling they will introduce / announce something similar (backplate or customization) when they release the OnePlus Two.

One plus two so we gotta wait another long time then I doubt that will come until next year.
It was a unique selling point which they kind of ruined.
I just find it funny how they say 'NEVER SETTLE' but they ruined that now as guess what we gotta 'SHUT UP & SETTLE' LOL
Were these covers supposed to replace the sandstone back or go over it?

I was looking for a good portfolio case for my XOOM. I was looking for something like the iPad cases where they are portfolio style and is made of soft material so my xoom doesn't get scratched up...
any ideas?
I just ordered my xoom so I'm waiting for it to ship before I order a case, but I'm planning on getting this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Quality-Leath...3ZW6/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1310795929&sr=8-6
I saw it mentioned in another thread and it seems like all of the Ayl cases get pretty great reviews. The exterior is leather and the interior is microfiber so it shouldn't scratch. Plus, at only $10 it's much more affordable than some other cases out there.

Wow! Nice. 10 reviews and all rated it 5 stars. I'm going to order one right now!
Thanks a bunch.
Np... Hope I didn't point you in the wrong direction, but based on the reviews, it seems like it should be pretty good. Be sure to post a review or something when you get it because you'll probably get it before I order mine lol.
i dont understand you people. that's exactly the same as the leather moto folio.

Warning...if it is just like the Moto leather folio, the channels cut for viewing angles may be too shallow for some as the Xoom has a tendency to collapse at steep angles. Maybe you will not have the problem. Just saying.

It's the same basic concept with a fair amount of key differences...
-fasteners have a different design
-inside is line with microfiber to prevent scratches (which is a common complaint for the moto)
-exterior is all leather, including fasteners
-as mentioned, lower price. Even if everything was the exact same, you get it for 1/3 the price.
Based on the reviews, it's the same idea with better execution.
I am one of the reviewers on Amazon. It's a fantastic case and for 10 bucks, come on it's a no brainer. I'd definitely recommend this over all the existing leather cases out there now. And who knows when this discounted price ends, its original price is more like 30 bucks.

It stays in the angles without budging, but I admit that because the surface is microfiber suede it may be slippery if you jab hard at the top of the xoom. There is no problem if you type at the bottom half of the screen. And normal presses and swipes on the screen are ok. Just don't jab hard repeatedly at the top 1/3 of the screen and you should be fine.
Targus cases are great quality, at least my P1000 Galaxy Tab one genuine leather was perfect.
The Xoom one sells for like $45+ shipping etc at Amazon. They are really good I think. Worth the price.
I guess I'm an idiot for waiting... the ayl case is now $5 more than before. Not a whole lot, but still wasted money from waiting. Oh well. I just placed my order and I'll be sure to give a review or contribute to another thread on the case once I receive mine.
I should be getting my xoom tomorrow, so I'll have time without a case to make me appreciate having a case even more.
I got one of these from ebay.

I just have a quick question about the AYL case, is the closure magnetic? I can't seem to find any confirmation that it is (looks like it in the pics), or in the reviews.
Thanks.

It is not magnetic. But the cover closes very tightly onto the xoom, so there are no worries about the cover flipping out on its own. You have to shut the cover with some force actually, but the suede inner lining will not scratch it.

Hey, thanks for the quick reply! So I guess it's just like a clip that goes over the top of the device? I just wanted to make sure it wasn't velcro, I hate that crap, lol!
Just ordered, but unfortunately it seems like they are out of stock for the moment... Gonna have to wait a few weeks it seems...
I bought the ZooGue case. I really like it. The onlu thing wrong was that it has a funny smell. Took care of that with vinegar and water and now the smell is gone. The stand is adjustable because the bottom was flat and there is velcro to adjust the view.

yes if you don't like supporting Real US Sellers and tanking our economy further. i realize buying american products is impossible but the few dollars more to buy from american sellers is a small price to pay to support our country.

oneplus.net shows that you can in fact order a bamboo StyleSwap cover, you just need an invite.. I really want one, so does anybody know how they are distributing the invites? i read online that they only have "hundreds" to sell.
Thanks!
There was a thread one the one plus forums you had to enter to win an invite.
I am one of the lucky winners of the bamboo invite. I will post a review of the bamboo back cover after I receive it.

Its easy i repaced my sandstone case with a white silk case - takes 5 mins. Super easy
Yeah the whole BS they came out with saying that they didn't pursue the idea due to the difficulty of taking the case off is pretty bad if you ask me. I've removed my back a few times and there has been no damage caused. Most people are fully aware of the dangers when it comes to trying to take covers off, don't want to take the risk then don't do it. Will be looking to change phones pretty soon I feel. The OPO is nice, but it's not the phone I bought. Had planned on picking up the Bamboo and Denim covers and now that's not going to happen.
Probably going to take a punt at the N6 instead now.
Is there anywhere that I can beg for an invite for the bamboo covers? They are one of the main reasons I got the one.

For anyone who doesn't follow JerryRigEverything, he just made an announcement video for new limited edition skins coming from OnePlus called "Teardown" which show the internals of the phone so you don't need to remove the back but can still have the same effect. They show the OP7Pro too :
You can find them here :
https://dbrand.com/shop/limited-edition/teardown
Limited edition is only available for one week.
Already ordered mine, even though I literally have only had my current skin for a total of less then a week. Looks so cool.
Instabuy. Since I dropped mine last week and the back looks like a spiderweb now this skin will cover up the damage nicely

It is a flat printed image piece so it will never look real in close up because it lacks the 3D depth of the internal modules.
Also, would never support Dbrand with their grip case selling for 30USD lel
Maybe if they stop throwing tons of money on youtubers over and over again and just start pricing their products right.

just cannot decide between buying "grip case + teardown skin" or just buying a just a skin and transparent case? what is your recommendation? I don't want to make my phone too bulky. ( a thickness near plastic case included with the phone's box is ok for me)
and please show me a good transparent case for op7 pro. please recommend a good tampered glass if possible
Note: there is small chip on the downside of my phone which the plastic case( which was inside the box) can protect it very well. So I have to keep a case to protect the phone.

They weren't going to be produced until the period was done, it's a limited release so they don't just produce a big pile hoping they sell them all, they take all the orders and then produce all the orders made.
