That is the case I got from Best Buy today. I compared it to the silicone one they had for $21 but I ended up with this one because it seems more durable and if you lay the phone on the screen the case lifts the screen off the surface its laying on to help protect the screen as well.
I think $32 out the door was a little pricey, but to protect my new phone it is definitely worth it.
They were sold out by the time I got there. I really wanted the one with the clip. Can't find them now. They are made by Seido from what I am hearing which they sell for $49.99 so it's a pretty good deal and solid imo.
can we get some pics? the product wasn't displayed good on there site
it's a great case. The insides are felt lined & padded. Also I had no problem slipping it in w/ the invisashield. The back of the case goes slightly past the camera lens so the phone isn't laying on it. Then there is a very small lip on the front to keep the screen from resting on a surface. A pretty solid case to use for now until more people start manufacturing for in. Hopefully serpent cases make something for this

its literally the same as the seido case that someone else posted a topic about. look at that topic and thres pictures and in the general section someone posted a video review of the seido case.
the best buy platinum case is just a re-branded seido case.
I had purchased it because a sales rep told me it was a part of the $30 bundle with the car charger and invisible shield. At the register it turns out that the rep gave me the wrong case and I bought it anyways. Early today I got my max coverage Invisible Shield installed and returned that case along with the Shield they had sold me.
The case is decent looking, definitely much better than most of the cases out now. I hope this phone gets the kind of variety in accessories that the iPhone does.

I think this specific case is different unless the picture Best Buy is using is incorrect. The cut outs are different. Also, Seidio themselves said in another forum that Best Buy has a Platinum Series case not made by them.
If the OP can post some pics we'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
There are two different Platinum Series case designs for the EVO @ Best Buy sold 3 different ways. The have the Seidio style horizontal split by itself, Seidio style with holster, and one styled like the Bodyglove case (vertical split). I picked up the Bodyglove style case - it's "rubberized" all the way around and felt lined inside.
:S thats expensive why dint you go to sprint? the body glove for the evo looks awesome I saw it at best buy and i dint like the back cover while the one in sprint i was and it was like 24 dollars.. and online its 19.99

bsim85 posted a tiny pic, but here are some large ones:
It's OK. I've still got the original "screen protector" on my phone because I haven't tried it at work (I'm not going to open the Invisible Shield or 16GB memory card I bought until I verify the phone works everywhere I need it to, but the case comes in a resealable package so no worries there).
The back of the case is hard and has felt lining inside. The front part of the case (it splits around the edge of the device like the Body Glove) is more rubbery. It comes apart the same was as the Body Glove, with a coin in a corner slot. The camera lens is recessed a couple of millimeters from the edge of the case. When on it's back the case rests not on the overall rubberized surface but on the smooth edges of the case around the camera opening and the bottom ports so it could still slide around in your car this way. Will I keep it long term? Probably not. Will it suffice until something better comes along? Yes.
EDIT...
I should note that the case doesn't look as blue-grey in real life as it does in the pictures.
I bought the case at Best Buy and it's great. Radioshack had Zaggs for $15 plus the 20% off accessories if you got it in the morning. I got the case at Best Buy and it's excellent. A bit pricey, but one of the better cases I've seen. Plus the silicon cases sometimes get caught up in your pocket and harder to pull out.

Is this A EVO case?
cause it seems to have more cut outs in the side pic than the EVO has buttons on the side.
yeah, i went to BB on friday and there was a sign showing that the Platinum case, the invisashield screen protector, and a rocket dog car charger were on sale all together for $45.
the case is overall is very nice, i like how the screen is recessed and how the case does not get stuck in your pocket like a silicone case does.
i think it was a good deal for the money, seeing as how i needed car charger because the hero uses a mini usb port.

I bought one from BB (with holster for $34.99 (giftcard)), and it def doesn't look like that. Mine's a much more rubbery look / feel. It's black. The cut-out's on yours seem much more prominent and I don't have one on the lower right side (why is one even there? just the phone volume on the upper part of the right side...).

I got slider case instead of the snap case. Reason being if you drop your phone on a corner, the slider case isn't going to split open like an egg leaving the yolk (EVO) splattered on the ground.

I dont know what Seidio is trying to pull but on the inside of the fake phone cutout (on the Platinum) it clearly states Seidio, Inc, Houston Texas.
Plus, I ordered a Innocase II and compared the two side by side. They are identical. Save you cash and buy the Platinum.

As I stated previously there are (2) different case designs from Best Buy - one like the Seidio Innocase and one like the Body Glove. The one I pictured is indeed for the EVO (it came with a "fake" cardboard EVO inserted in it). The "extra" port cutout you're seeing is how you take it off the phone - you insert a coin and twist it to pop the two halves apart (JUST like the Body Glove case).

It's available in 3 colors (black, brown, red).
At first, I'll say that it's quite cheap considering some other pouches (over 20€, or even twice that price). Keep that in mind when reading below.
It fits perfectly on the GN, international edition (at least this is the one I can guarantee the fit). You can place the phone top or bottom first and it will fit inside. It's also snug enough that the phone doesn't fall out if you hold the pouch upside down, on the other hand it's not too tight that you have to apply much force to pull it out. Having had 2 different leather pouches already (original HTC for Desire and a Puro one used on Galaxy S, then Nexus S), this one is the best one I had yet. The stiches are well done, some people on Amazon said theirs weren't that well done at the bottom of the pouch, I guess it depends on the unit.
Here's a Dropbox hosted gallery : https://www.dropbox.com/sh/18nyd1jgw6a2p6p/Ru-nrungy7
I also couldn't make one with the phone inside, don't have any secondary cameras at hand, maybe I'll add a pic or two when if I can. Official site and Amazon link have the pics with the phone and I assure you it does fit like that.
TL;DR If you're looking for a nice leather pouch, look no more. For this price and quality you get with it, I highly recommend it.
I have one of these also and I really like it. I'm not big on cases as I like to keep my phone in my pocket and a normal case won't protect the screen. As you have said it holds the phone very tight. It's also very easy to get the phone out by pulling on the little tab. The only downside I've had so far is the material to pull the phone out can get twisted as it goes back in. It's very easy to fix however.
Mine looks a bit different than yours so I'm attaching some pictures. Mine does not have the 'notches' on the top like yours.
Well yours isn't from iGadgitz specifically, that's why it's different.

There have been a few threads linking to the Shenit TPU Bumper Case that have kinda died out because, well, it's no longer available on Amazon despite having been available long ago with a very future ship date. I ordered mine when the listing first went up on Amazon and it just arrived today! Here are my observations and judgments:
The Details
The case is made from two materials: TPU and a hard plastic. You can see the two materials in the photos on Amazon. It's done in a way that is still incredibly low-profile. The TPU covers all buttons, corners/edges, and ports (not the camera lens nor camera light, though). The hard plastic covers the back, the back corners, and some of the sides. The hard plastic is a *perfect fit* over the camera lens ring - from the back of the phone it is 100% impossible to tell the color of my phone.
Something that can be very clearly seen in the photos, and is the same with the official bumper, are the angles at which the sides have. This causes the feeling that the back edges of the phone "stick out". This seems to be a love-it or hate-it thing for most people. I'm torn about whether I like it or not - it definitely seems different than what I'm used to. That said, this was by no means a surprise for me and I expected it to be just like this. So in my Pro/Con list, this is what I'm talking about with the "back corners sticking out".
Oh, and it came with a piece of red velcro for some reason!
The Good
Overall, it's a very nice and snug fit on the phone yet it's not terribly difficult (also not terribly easy, in a good way) to get it off of the phone. With this case on the phone, I'm certainly not concerned with the phone slipping out whether pulling the phone out of a purse with something tugging on the case nor with skinny jean pockets or anything else. The feel of it is a mix of a TPU feel and a "soft" feel for hard plastic (think the feel of the back of the black version of the Nexus 5 to mean what I mean "soft" for hard plastic, not Quicksand case "soft"). Nobody will have problems with this slipping in and out of their pockets nor is it incredibly slippery either.
For protection, this provides the protection you would hope from a TPU case and not much more. As you can see in the photos, every corner and edge is covered by TPU including the four corners on both the front and back as well as the edges along both the front and back of the phone. The back of the phone, however is only covered with the hard plastic. Take a look at the photos and you can tell where the TPU ends on the insides of the case and where the hard plastic begins on the outsides of the case. This case might protect your phone from a drop and it might not - just like with all TPU cases. If you buy this and you play first-person shooter games where you can change your armor out, this case could be thought of as light armor or perhaps medium armor but no where near heavy armor.
It is definitely an attractive (and Nexus branded!) case that doesn't look like what many of the other $14 cases out there look like. As you can see from the photos, the case is molded perfectly to fit with the camera ring cutout. Speaking of the camera ring, the case is just a tad thicker on the back side than your camera ring so if you lay it down on the back, your camera ring is no longer a protrusion. This may have some implications for those of you with magnetic accessories for the camera ring but I can't really comment much on that. Ultimately, unless you look at the port cutouts or see my white speaker on the front, this case makes it impossible to tell the color of my phone - that's how perfect the molding is for the fit. The ONLY flaw I could find with the case's fit was for the microphone on the top of the phone. The microphone isn't perfectly centered in the hole but it's also not covered either.
The Bad
There are three primary problems I have with the case.
First of all, a quick browsing at the time I wrote this turned up quite unfruitful in actually identifying where you can even buy this case today! It is now listed as unavailable on all of the Amazon postings and even all of the eBay cases that look just like the OEM bumper case have seemed to vanish. I'm curious if you can even buy this case anymore as I couldn't find it anywhere now!
So here's the first knock on the case: The buttons have a mushy feel with terrible feedback on the power/volume buttons. We all know that cases tend to be Good, Meh, or Bad here and this case definitely qualifies as bad. Sorry!
And the last thing:The USB Port cutout, while appearing quite large, is unfortunately too small for a variety of USB cables. The first 3 USB cables I randomly grabbed didn't fit comfortable in the space provided although the fourth one did. So you'll have to find a cable that will fit in there if you ever need one and don't use Qi for all of your charging needs.
Pros:
Nexus Branded!
Plenty of color options and cheap (it was $14 shipped from Amazon)
Great snug fit with perfect molding to the phone
Feels like you hope it would feel from the photos
Very low profile - better than your typical TPU case (except for the back corners sticking out)
Plenty of room around the 3.5mm audio port.
Won't affect NFC, Qi, or radios
Cons:
Hard to buy (no longer on Amazon and the eBay lookalikes are no longer listed either)
Took a month to ship
Bad button tactile feedback
Many USB cables won't fit in the cutout for the USB port
I hope you enjoy!!

I just got mine today too. I got the blue one. Does it feel like pyramid shaped to you? Mine does. The back is thicker than the front. Buttons are not that bad. Better than some of the cheap tpus. I can still see some white bordering the camera in the back. Not too bad a case. But the shape is weird. Does the original case have that pyramid shape? If you hold it by the sides you cab definitely feel that the back is wider than the front (lip).

Yup, I commented on this in my more thorough review. It's different than I'm used to but exactly what I expected from the photos on Amazon (and Google's OEM listings/reviews as well). I still don't know if I like it or not. Like you said, it's weird.

If I compared this to the worst TPU case I've ever had (and I've had some bad ones) that was rated as a 1 from 1-10, then I'd give this case a 2. You're right, there is worse. But not much worse - it's pretty bad. Maybe your blue one has slightly different buttons than mine but mine is pretty bad.
For the white around my camera on the back, I can't see any white whatsoever. At least I don't think I can even as I'm trying to look for it although I guess it's possible that the white + shadow makes it blend in with my light gray case. I don't see it, though.
Even no longer available but there are some cases like this in eBay if anyone would like to give it a try: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GOOGLE-PREM...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item3cdc425b73. But don't expect too much as this is chinese stuff. And Play Store now available for $26~ after 25% off (still got shipping fee+ tax).

That looks like the same case but is definitely different packaging than what I received. Thanks for the link though, I was unable to find those on eBay when I tried yesterday.

Uhh have you seen what most people have been saying about the official bumper? It's a low quality POS for the most part. Not worth full price, and even at $26 it isn't worth it with the peeling, staining, etc. Doesn't matter if it's from the play store. The unofficial ones might even hold up better, who knows, but the standard Google set with the official bumper case isn't exactly high. Besides, there's extra colors with the unofficial ones that some people might enjoy.
Anyway, if anyone still wants these ones I did find a link for super cheap. Of course it will probably take 3 weeks to a month to get to you, which is the case for most things shipping from overseas. But $12.99 shipped should make up for it. The Nexus logo is printed in a different color than the case on some of the color choices (just scroll down on the page to see).
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/For-LG-Google-Nexus-5-bumper-case-FREE-SHIPPING-front-screen-protectors/1612944308.html
God, it can't be any worse than the official bumper. I wish we had a better selection of actual bumper cases.
I'm using the Gray bumper clone for couple days. No staining (yet) , nice soft touch. Back panel is a bit bigger than front (as mentioned in 1st post).
I also have glass protector from Nillkin on, the case doesn't seem to push the glass.
Update: Now it has some blue from my jeans. sigh..
I may certainly be wrong but I'm beginning to think these unofficial cases are the same as the official ones, same manufacturing line and everything.

I've been very happy with the case on my Nexus 6P (this looks like the one: https://www.ebay.com/i/131886281154?rt=nc&var=431231132500). Now having preordered XL2, I've been searching for similar case, but so far haven't found anything that would be close enough match. I went through the Cover thread, and closest ones were cases like this and this but there appears to be few essential differences:
The plastic bumper around looks a lot thinner on these XL2 cases
XL2 cases all have kickstand, which basically means the backside is not as thick/protective against drops
I don't need any CC slots (although having one isn't a show stopper)
Most of these XL2 cases look cheap at least in pictures
Even tried asking @madebygoogle on Twitter, but they didn't have any info on such cases. I'd happily pay that same (absurd) $50 or so for the case that I paid for this 6P case as it really is a premium case I've enjoyed using. Any tips are highly appreciated!

Ditto. Does anyone know who manufactured the Nexus 6P folio?
From what I've found they were produced by adoptednyc.
They show no new items since iPhone 7.
Facebook is quiet too for them.

I ordered 2 of these(2XL & 2).
Will report my assessment of them when they arrive.
Will likely take weeks, coming from China.
I prefer a flip case because of the added protection for the screen.
Also when I hold the phone in portrait mode I tend to use the flipped cover a secure holding grip.
The main downside is when taking a picture the cover gets in the way if I'm too hurried to get a picture.
I ordered the natural leather finished flip case without the strap or clasps from Tedded.
Looks to be of nice quality whereas it's real leather and not the plastic leather most cases use.
Where do the plastics cows come from? Do you feed them plastic packing peanuts?

So I received the cases today.
If the Nexus 6p official case was a 10, I'd give these Tetded cases an 8 or 8.5.
The hinge part of the flip cover seems a little flimsy, not in quality but in strength.
This causes the cover to wiggle or sit a little crooked at times. It isn't bad but not perfect.
The only other thing I'd change, if I could, would be to add a bevel to the area around the fingerprint sensor. Having a beveled surface makes it seem less deep when it guides your finger to the sensor. The hole on this case is is good, but again, not perfect.
All cutouts are properly placed, so no issues there.
All in all, I'd recommend this case to anyone who liked the official Nexus 6p case.

TETDED
Just received my flip case from Tetded.
If you desire a case that wasn't made from last months recycled Coke or Pepsi bottle this is the one to purchase.
I bought the flip case without the latch, the classic vintage brown version. It has the feel of fine leather, not something made from camel scrotum. The cover does interact with the screen as it should.
Access to the side buttons is good the fingerprint sensor is recessed a bit but access is also good.
The only downside at the moment is I use a magnetic phone holder in my vehicle that requires a very thin steel plate be applied to the inside of the front cover I usually use a credit card slot of which there are none. Tomorrows project.
the case is pricey but so wasn't the phone now to find a glass screen protector that doesn't have issues.
Don't ask for "pics" friggen Google Tetded.

The hinge part of the flip cover seems a little flimsy, not in quality but in strength.
This causes the cover to wiggle or sit a little crooked at times. It isn't bad but not perfect.
The only other thing I'd change, if I could, would be to add a bevel to the area around the fingerprint sensor. Having a beveled surface makes it seem less deep when it guides your finger to the sensor. The hole on this case is is good, but again, not perfect.
All cutouts are properly placed, so no issues there.
All in all, I'd recommend this case to anyone who liked the official Nexus 6p case.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm in the same boat. One question for anyone that has the TetDed folio case. 1) How's it holding up a few months down the road? and 2) does the cover hold shut via magnet? Or is it just floppy? Thanks in advance to anyone still monitoring this.

Mine is holding up great, but I'm the type that doesn't have the cover open a lot.
My wife's is not holding up as well cause she is constantly on the phone.
The wear & tear that bothers me about hers is that the cover doesn't rest properly when closed now. it wants to sit crooked by default, resulting in me having to adjust it whenever I see it.
Overall, I think they are still a good option for folio covers, just not nearly as perfect as the Nexus 6p cover.
thanks for taking a chance and for reviewing the leather case.

can you recommend one of these? just received my xl2 last week. (i shattered my oneplus3 2 weeks after receiving it, so i'm trying to be proactive
Has anyone tried any of the cases for the OnePlus 8?
LewLater Case on pre-order. It's not the cheapest case especially factoring in the shipping cost but I prefer to have a barely-there, slim case.
Wow that's quite expensive
I bought one from LaterCase which is yet to arrive
I have the Cyan sandstone protective case and the nylon bumper with the pop-up box.
I love the nylon bumper
I've ordered a couple of cases from Amazon, one is a matte transparent case w/black TPU side bumper:
OnePlus 8 Case [Frosting Transparent Back] Ultra-Thin Soft TPU [Shock Absorption] Slim Fit Lightweight Shockproof Armor Cover Hybrid Protective Case Compatible with Oneplus 8 (Black, 1+8) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087CW225G/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_6WjUEbE6JCY8G
This is the one I'm actually after, a matte transparent Frameless Case (arrival estimate 2+ months from now, so, I ordered the one above in the meantime) :
OnePlus 8 Frameless Case, EabHulie Slim Translucent Hard Back Matte Skin Soft TPU Bumper Corners Shockproof Case Cover for OnePlus 8 Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0881W9VBG/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_1ZjUEbZX8D19V
I used the same Frameless Case on the OnePlus 7T Pro (fits the OnePlus 7 Pro as well) & it performed well for what I was wanting, minimal coverage & preventing accidental edge touches. It actually did that a bit too well on the sides, but, I adjusted to it, better than the alternative of a bulky case or, going sans case.
As the edge contours seem to be less dramatic vs the OP7 Pro / OP7T Pro, hoping they nailed it on the side coverage/touch sensitivity sweet spot.
I've done a review of 3 flip cases - see the other post in this forum
I highly recommend the Tudia Merge. It's a dual layer case - TPU and Plastic. Fits really well, buttons still feel good. I've used the Merge cases for my past several OnePlus phones, and all have been great.

Anyone know where to buy the original sandstone case from other than 1+ direct with silly postage fees
Just picked up this case from T-Mobile US, from their budget conscious brand GoTo:
https://www.t-mobile.com/accessory/goto-define-case-for-oneplus-8-5g
My 2¢/ Pros & Cons.
Pro:
1) Availability, shouldn't be too difficult to find a T-Mobile store that has it in stock, especially with the phone still being relatively new.
2) Fit is excellent, cutouts are precise. The camera cutout extends well below the flash, not a deal breaker, but, I think they should have opted for a more precise cutout for the lenses & a separate hole for the flash. Perhaps this was a cost-cutting measure.....
3) Feel in hand is acceptable, neither the slimmest or bulkiest case I've used.
For feel in hand perspective, if you've used a RhinoShield Crash Guard bumper, this case is slimmer in the grip,a lot more comfortable vs the Crash Guard bumper.
Cons:
1) Price isn't insane, but, I do feel it's a bit much @ $19.99. Sure, it's about 1/2 the price of other cases sold by T-Mobile, but, as everyone here is painfully aware, carrier accessories are grossly overpriced,
So yeah, this case is overpriced vs Amazon/AliExpress/eBay & in a lot of instances, buying direct from the mfg w/a discount code.
2) The volume/notification slider cut-out, while precise,is a bit cramped for one-handed use. Not a biggie for me, I rarely use it, but, for those where this is a priority, perhaps this case is not for you.
Fortunately, the box for the case (at least mine) was not sealed, so, if buying from a brick & mortar store, you should be able to try it out before buying
Misc:
The design of the backside is a bit weird in the looks department, reminiscent of poor 'ol HTC's earlier efforts in the "big chin" look on the front of their phones.
To me, it's not a big deal, but, if I were choosing in-store w/a comparably priced/designed case w/o the "chin'", I'd opt for the other case.
Ditto on the branding of the "GoTo" logo. It's actually not that noticeable, but, again, same scenario just mentioned, I'd opt for the competition.
FWIW, I loathe cases w/branding, as most go overboard w/it, I prefer minimal/unbranded cases, typically one color/material when possible, less is more for my usage.
Would I recommend it?
Sure, it strikes a good balance of form/function (less the slider cutout). If you need a case ASAP for the unlocked or T-Mobile version, it's a worthwhile case.
However, if you don't mind waiting for mail order from wherever you shop online, you could probably find a case that fits your needs at a better price.
I ordered the transparent TPU & carbon fiber cases from OnePlus when I ordered my OP8. Both are way too slippery. Ordered a Rinke Fusion X on Amazon, and I like it much better.
Pros:
- Very grippy!
- Good side & corner protection
- Transparent back shows off phone color nicely
Cons:
- Raised plastic "button guards" make finding buttons by feel a touch difficult
- Minimal front protection
Overall rating: 4.5 Stars

verizon cases
Any generic cases that'll fit the verizon version, or are verizon users stuck with the ones on their website? I'd read somewhere that "some" generic cases "might" fit the verizon phone, but can't find any more info. Thanks.
Unfortunately I can't answer the question about the case, but I do have a related question.. What is different about the Verizon version of the OnePlus 8, vs like the T-mobile, or unlocked version.
I'm looking for cases myself, but I have the one from T-mobile. And when searching amazon, I've seen some listed as "Verizon Only" ..

Don't know how you did that...all the ones I find say "Not for Verizon". The difference, as I understand it, is verizon's 5g hardware is bigger / located in a different location, which caused some buttons to be moved. So for most case designs, verizon phones won't work, but all other 8's (not pro) will...the exception would be a few that have cutouts that can accomodate either configuration...but info on which those are is sparse.

I went through a lot of pages of case on amazon; as 99% of them are terrible cheap looking crap, and a lot were for the wrong device as Amazons search sucks.. but there were a few. One I actually liked but it says Verizon only..

the Verizon version is the only one that is different... I myself bought the karbon bumper case from T-Mobile, the official one from OnePlus I also have a tech21 Evo check case that comes with interchangeable colored buttons

Wondering how that helps, as the OP is looking for a Verizon Case, not T-mobile.
I'm loving my Supcase
Oneplus 8 (Tmobile & Unlocked version only)

I bought this case super finish and affordable. Its the nylon version from Nilkin.
Super slim and grippy case suggestions?
I am looking for a slim/minimalistic case.
Is Official Sandstone case grippier than the Nylon case?
I have the nylon and I like it but with the added size of the case it's harder to grip. I'm thinking about getting the Sandstone case but not sure if it would help any with phone slipping out of my hand.
Ideally I would like a slimmer case with better grip and lip to protect screen and ideally camera.
Thanks all!
