Protection - OnePlus 5T Questions & Answers

I ordered my 5T this morning. I have read some reviews about the included case chipping the paint. I love a phone with no case, but feel scared to chance that. I never used a screen protector on my nexus 6 and all is good. my question is what do you all think is a good balance for protection with a minimal footprint? obviously I want to protect my investment from minor drops and such, but don't want anything to bulky.
thoughts?
Thanks so much.

[Review/Comments] TPU High Gloss Black Case

So originally I was going to hold off for an otterbox or something similar for this phone otterbox was taking too long and the casemate case felt not really flimsy but not sturdy enough for 40 bucks, so after all the good reviews I ordered this case. Let me tell you, its well worth it, very sturdy, very well cut, very good feeling case and the best part is it just 10 bucks. Only suggestion would be not to get the high gloss black since my fingers smudge on the back slightly but still a GREAT case. A+

I have had it since day one and love it.
If you think the fingers smudges are bad on the TPU, you should see the Case Mate Black Barely There Aluminum Case. The TPU is nothing compared to how bad the finger smudges are on that one.
The smudges aren't too terrible, nothing to ***** about.

Agreed. I like the Matte finish better.
this is the one i have been using and love it...hard trying to find something better and justifying the cost when the quality of the TPU high gloss black is so good.

yup, qft. my only regret was waiting for a better case when there was no need all along, the tpu one is bangin.
I've got a couple questions.
I currently have the carbon filter case w/kickstand.there is absolutely no
protection on the top and bottom.does this case offer what the carbon case lacks?
also, my evo had a case that had like a felt lining inside and it was a 2 piece that snapped
together.does this have any kind of lining in it.carbon fiber doesn't have a lining in it, just hard shiny plastic.thanks for review.I'm leaning towards the matte black.anybody know if sprint or best buy carry this in store?
is this the case you are talking about?

I have the same case. Had a similar one on my Nexus S. I like it cause it retains the original feel of the phone.

White black duo-shield soft skin hard case

This is for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, not the GSM Variant.
I ordered this case from the suggestion of another person on twitter and it came in the mail today. I was especially intrigued by it because he said it fit the extended battery rather well!
It turns out that it does and seems to be one of the first I have found (besides the Otterbox Series) that fits the phone with the extended battery included.
It is made of high quality materials, and isnt a lint collector in my pocket which is a big one for me. Below are a link to the pictures of the phone w/ the extended battery and the case itself.

I have this case in white/purple and loved it, but was concerned about the back getting "scratched" since the plastic part doesn't have any felt or cushioning. What are your thoughts on this? Is there any reason to be concerned in your opinion?

The plastic seems to be fairly strong, for example, it seems the coating is of high quality which makes it not easily scratch able.
For the most part I am not worried about the case being scratched and I really like it.
I was worried about the back of the phone getting scratched by the plastic part that touches it. You have noticed no scratches on your phone from this case?

I misunderstood you from before, and no I do not think that the plastic will scratch the phone in any way
Thank you for your review and your opinion! That makes me feel a bit better about using that case as it is my favorite so far. I am still looking at the Kraken (when they make one), Rearth Rinke and SGP. I also have one of those cases that look like the ballistic ones. I like it though it does make it a bit bulkier.
Just ordered the White/Green one to go with my Beats . I'm a sucker for anything Lime Green, I have been going naked on the phone, hopefully I'll like this case. Biggest thing I was worried about what being a lint magnet, good thing it isnt

You will love it. Since my issue of scratches to my phone have been eliminated, it will be my case of choice until a couple of the others come out.
Do you guys no how this compares size wise to the Otterbox's?

Is it as bulky at the OtterBox Defender? Im looking to replace my defender with something slimmer
How much weight does it add?? I love how light this phone is and I'm looking for a case that doesn't add much weight
Sent from my GalaxyNexus using XDA App
anything similar for the gsm?
I also ordered this case Black/Red. I have a GSM version. The difference between the LTE/GSM is .53mm so Im thinking it'll be fine. I read a negative review about this case that discouraged me but after reading this thread im feeling a lil better. Pics look great on the SGN. Also Carbon Fiber Ghost Armor will be between my boo boo (lol) and the case so I'm not worried about the plastic scratching my phone. It also comes with a Naked Shield screen protector wich I've read is a wet application. Any thoughts on the included screen protector? Is it any good? Doubt id peel my Ghost Armor screen protector off for any other but im still interested if it's good.

It adds near 0 weight to the phone, at least it seems as if it does not which is the important part
I just got this, LOVE IT! although it does add some bulk it barely added much weight and it fits well with the extended battery with one exception, I had to remove my skin that was installed on the phone... I was a little shocked it wouldn't fit with that skin but I guess I don't need it...

Video Review: Casemate TOUGH case for the Galaxy Note

Hello all,
I have bought a Casemate tough case and received it today and made a quick video on youtube about how it looks and feels on my channel.
In summary it is a fantastic case and the only drawback is the fact that it hand't been released earlier.

How thick does it make the device now?
It's not actually that bad to be honest. It gives it a "nice and comfortable" feel

How about when you put it in your pocket? is it still comfortable in there? I use TPU cases right now, and they're fairly slim as they are. But I never feel comfortable with them if I were to drop my device. They're just good for scratches, not for falls (which never happens, but I'm sure it will happen sooner or later).

It fits into my pocket alright a nice fit without making it look like i am "excited" . I am 6'2" however so my pockets might be slightly bigger. With this I literally have no worries about it dropping. I probably don't even need the screen protector on the device.
If you look on my youtube channel there is another case review up from casemate too and the phone does seem just as secure without the added bulk.
Will it fit an extended battery?

Depends how big...a slight raise and you might just get away with it but an extended battery like a 4500mAh then no...This case is designed exactly for the normal battery with a tiny tiny bit of room if any
Nice lookin' case, shame it's only in black
nice case there, the only thing is it adds so much bulk to the note, that's my only concern with this case...

I see what you mean but I don't mind it as the phone is big already.
I just love the case because it is soooo comfortable to hold. I had it on my GS2 and I couldn't wait until casemate released it.
It would be worth trying it if you get the chance you won't regret it

Sure mate, might buy it later i guess...
Its always good to have choices..
I have a TPU gel S-Line wave case on my Note right now.
I intend to buy the Case Mate Tough, but there are some things I want to ask you about.
How does it feel when you press the power / volume buttons? I mean... do you feel it, or it's like... erm... dang. The feedback, is it good or bad?
Also, how "slippery" is it on the top/bottom edges (where the polycarbonate shell isn't holding it as tight as on the sides)? Bad enough to "slip" off a bit when you take it out of a tight pocket, or even when you drop it...?
---------- Post added at 11:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------
Oh and one more thing (not likely to be the last )... Did you get a screen protector inside the package? The store where I'm about to buy it from claims there is one in the package, although they don't mention whether it's made by Case-Mate (do they actually do screen protectos?) or some other firm, or if it's clear or matte or whatever...
The feeling is really good I loved it. The button feedback is great. I buy tough cases for all my phones as I love how they feel. The buttons are easy to press and the phone stays clean without any dirt getting in between the phone and the case.
With regards to screen protector, no there wasn't one and I am not aware that casmate do do any screen protectors. I usually go for zagg ones as I like them the most.

Thank you for the answer!
Then the store that is selling the case probably includes a crappy screen protector in themselves . Or CaseMate started to add this recently... who knows.
I'll buy it on wednesday. Hope I don't get one that has askew cut-outs and such, haha .
My case arrived just today!
It had a screen protector in the package... which was probably added by the shop, since the package was not sealed anymore and... oh well...
The screen protector was probably good, at least as good as those cheap ones you can get for a dollar a piece, but I f**ked up at installing it. I was planning to go down to a shop and buy a 3M Vikuiti screen protector (the vendor installed it, perfectly), anyway.
-----
The case is... well, it's bulky! It's really good, but installing it is a bit... well, it's hard. I did some drop tests with it, and the buttons were slightly off, also the lip... required some extensive pulling-with-teeth .
I'm dissapointed by the fact that they didn't add a few extra stripes of ABS on the top and bottom.... without those, those two sides are flimsy and easy to get off, you know... Anyway.
Also, the hard shell doesn't perfectly fit over the silicone glove, at least on the top side... but it's good enough.
For this kind of price, I was expecting utmost perfection, but it's good . To be honest, the S-Line wave TPU case I had before felt better in hand - also had better grip. Or perhaps I just need some time to adjust to this new case...
Also, hate how the silicone is a dust magnet.
-----
Anyway, this case is overall good. Definetly protects the phone well .
I used the case-mate tough case back when I had my Galaxy S and loved it! It offered outstanding protection from bumps and knocks so I purchased the case again for my Note. Used it for a few months but have since moved to the Mercury case. What made me change was the difficulty I had taking the phone out of my pockets. The textured surface of the case is nice to hold and feels good but it's too clingy to clothing, magnified by the size of the case's surface area ( probably why I never had the same problem with my Galaxy S). Still use it every now and again though.

The Mercury case seems to be a jelly case?
And it doesn't even cover the buttons...

Ultimate case to buy ?

I've been reading this forum for an hour and I cant make a decision LOL :crying:
Which case should I get for my Nexus 5?
I was gonna get the ultra slim from spigen.. but then I read all these cons. Overall, almost all the "highly reviewed" cases on amazon have been negatively talked about ..
Which case should I get ?
I'm looking for mainly scratch protection, since I dont think i'll be dropping it much. Really do not want to add bulk, and I love the way the N5 feels without a case.
EXTREMELY open to recommendations , even if it goes against what i'm looking for !
If it matters i'm installing a MIME ghost screen protector :good:
looking forward to suggestions and recommendations ! thanks ! :fingers-crossed:

I'm quite partial to the Quicksand hardcases. I love the texture and the feel of it. It's also flexible and durable. It's super cheap in comparison to most other hardcases as well (which is why I have 8 of them in various colours haha). I got them for $0.99 each shipped, but they're a bit more expensive now because they've become so popular. Still cheap though.
You can see my review here (with tons of pictures), and lots of discussion about them as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577289
If you want just purely minimal. The OEM LG Hardshell will probably suit you. It's pretty much the most minimal of minimal cases you can buy. It turns out it doesn't really suit me (too much love for the Quicksand!) but there are others here who really love it. The black is similar to the back of the black Nexus 5, and the white case is similar (a bit more slippery, same as a white Ringke Slim, or Spigen Ultra Fit) to the white back.
You can see my review here of it (lots of pics too). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2643884
I don't use a screen protector, so I'm not sure if the Quicksand would interfere with it or not. I don't believe anyone has said there is any problems with Quicksand cases and screen protectors though, pretty much everyone has said it is fine. But the LG case does not even create a lip over the screen at all so that one would be guaranteed not to have any issues.

Go for quicksand (they're awsome) or consider frosted semi-transparent if you have white nexus (semi transparent feels almost the same as the back of black Nexus).
They're just 99 cent each (around $3 if you want to buy it with fast shipping from US) so even if you won't like them it's not going to be like you threw away your money.
How about 2 quick sand cases for free? I have a black and grey quick sand case. I'll be more than happy to mail them to you. PM your mailing address if you're interested.
Edit: got your address! I'm not using it cause I just use it naked
The awesome cruzerlite bugdroid case. Super classy and functional. I would recommended anything rubber really, don't go with with hard cases since they offer little to none protection when dropped.

I'm in the same situation as you.
I bought, a few weeks ago, the Ultra Fit from SPIGEN and after some time, it scratched a little bit 2 of my corners. I was very carefull because I expected it could happen (reading the reviews) so it's not too bad, but I won't use it anymore.
According to reviews, the Ringke Slim is worse for scratching corners...
So I'm looking for another slim/minimal case but all of them have bad reviews or issues.
I'm thinking going naked
or maybe should I get a Quicksand or a Poetic Palette, which one is the best ? the texture seem to be similar...
and what about this one from LG ?

I'm using ringke fusion hybrid for a nice balance of protection and size. Also have a slickwraps wood back wrap that shows nicely through the clear back. The case is only $9 on Amazon with prime shipping too. I may buy the tech 21 case though from T-Mobile. Had it on my old gs4 and absolutely loved the feel of it.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
the quicksand and poetic palette cases are one and the same. I've got the poetic because the few extra bucks was worth it for prime shipping and a 3 year warranty, plus I've been happy with my poetic cases in the past.
the LG hardshell is perfect if you truly want minimal
I would suggest you get a nice case for around $10 and a few cheapos from ebay ~$1. These cheapos are cheap only in terms of price but get the job done, like the quicksand cases that are all the rage here. I personally would not buy something very expensive.
I have a few cheap cases from ebay that cost ~$2-$3 dollars each and a SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle case. I use the SUPCASE every day and its really good for a $10 case. You should try it out!
1. Tech21, only sold at T-Mobile. About $30, but worth it when you see the YouTube video demo. Also search for the thread here discussing it.
2. Spigen Clear Ultra Hybrid. $10 -$15. Totally clear, very flexible and protective. It was my favorite for a few weeks until I got #1.
I bought a dozen more, not worth mentioning except for the Spigen Black Ultra Hybrid with clear back. But #2 (another Spigen) is better.
Still, Tech21 beats them all.

I didn't like that one. I ordered this one: http://m.ebay.com/itm/181532810218?_mwBanner=1
And the screen protector: http://m.ebay.com/itm/271845140819?_mwBanner=1
I got this yesterday in mail (black and white colour). Very happy with the quality and all the ports/mic holes perfectly centered. sturdy feel. I dropped my phone 3 times without the case (luckily not much damage at all.. just minor ding on corner) and then i thought of buying a case before it has spider web screen.

Cruzerlite Bugdroid
I have been using the Cruzerlite Bugdroid TPU case. It has a slim profile while feeling quite sturdy and able to withstand a drop. All my friends who have the OnePlus One have this case. It comes in a very very wide variety of colors, too. The only downside is that it does fade after a while, but it really isn't that bad or too noticeable. The price is very reasonable for the quality of the product. It is easy to find on Amazon.
Hope this helps.

That is a horrible looking case[emoji21] why would you hide the design of your phone with that? Get a Tudia TPU case and you should be fine.... Oh God.

I think that and the Tudia cases are ugly lol. Personally prefer the Diztronic or the Orzly fusion cases

Agreed, Diztronic ftw... dirt cheap but very good, even fast shipping (7 days to the Netherlands, NEVER longer... ordered like 6 different times)

Make sure you get the one I linked to, with the slightly bigger corners, better protection
I've had the Diztronic case for around 7 months now and it's been perfect. Protected when dropped, not too bulky, slight raised lip on screen side to protect screen when placed screen face down.
The only negative I can think of is that it does add a bit of weight to the phone, although I'm sure that is inevitable based on the protection it gives and also the sturdy nature of the material it is made from.

Exactly... you want protection? Then you're gonna feel it
Try a casemate barely there on your phone and see if it protects... makes me wanna cringe immediately
I wouldn't wanna droptest with that on, or any other "lookyoucanhardlyseeandfeelmebecauseIamsothin" case
if you like TOTAL protection i recommend TWO cases TUDIA OMNIX and POETIC. i have the TO and my experience to it is that the covers of the audio and charger ports are not good if you use them for a prolong period of time they dont go back easily i mean there is a small part of the cover that tends to stay open.
FOR POETIC, i saw reviews both Oneplus.net and amazon they say that it is much better than TO it is much thin than the TO and the ports are much better.
Another great feature about the Diztronic is the way it covers the side buttons and gives them a more sturdy feel. I got another case previously and it had cut out for the buttons, but it was a pain trying to press them as the OnePlus One's side buttons are so small.

If anyone is looking to get rid of their OEM orange and yellow cases, I would be willing to buy. Message me if anything.
