So first off loving my 1+6 (8/128). Super fast and just plain awesome! Puts my S8+ in the dust
But my main reason for this post is about the included phone case that came with the phone. I haven't seen anyone mention it on here, so wasn't sure if anyone was aware. But inside the box the the phone is attached to once you unbox it, there is a basic style phone case inside. It's nothing fancy, but it's a case. And it's FREE. I actually like it, and was so glad it was there as I didn't want to wait several days for a case to be ordered and delivered. Granted, I completely bypassed that part of the unboxing as it usually just includes the "paperwork" that nobody reads. But after a day, I was hurting for protection on my phone. Always carefully putting it down somewhere where it wouldn't slide and scratch the backing. Or on something super soft. So, I just so happened to re-open the box and look inside and to my surprise, there was a case.
So, this phone is not only awesome in speed and performance (minus a bit of battery issues at the moment), but they also include a pre-attached screen protector AND a phone case! WOW...hats off to you OnePlus! More OEMs should be taking a page out of your book...ESPECIALLY for the prices we are asked to pay for these "premium" phones.
It's a high quality case and I like it a lot.
I knew about the free case inside the box but I bought other 2 cases from Oneplus, I like the one from the package more.
It doesn't suck, and I'm glad not to have to go naked with a glass phone while I wait for a real case from UAG. Nice gesture from OP, though these TPU cases cost about 50 cents to make.
Compared to other TPU cases ain't bad.
I jsut hate transparent TPU cases, with dust getting between the case and the phone
I really like it for indoor environment, pretty slim, grippy, light weight raised bezels, especially on corners, good quality material and air bags on corners
I don't like it. But I don't like gel cases full stop. They're too sticky for me. I've bought the silicone case though which is amazing.
Indeed, I was glad to see one included, though I did know about it beforehand as it was listed in the "What's inside the box" portion of the web site. I am putting on a rugged case in a couple of weeks but for now am happy my OP6 is protected to some degree.
Uh... They've been including a case since the 5T and have had the even pre applied even protector for quite a while now. And I would suggest getting the nylon bumper case it's much safer and doesn't make the device bulky. Didn't look through the whole box lmao.
Let me share my OP6 experience. I used the included case for a good 3 days and I think it's a decent option. Coming from OnePlus One, I decided to buy the sandstone back case for my OP6 and boy oh boy, it's premium! Although there is compromise with safety as it doesn't wrap up the phone completely but for someone like me who doesn't drop his phone much, this premium case if pure gold! Totally recommended ♥
Edit: Adds zero bulk to the phone, fits like a glove and even covers the camera bump with ease. As I've already mentioned a few times before, it feels and looks premium!
it's a good case, i'd just prefer a black rim because it looks a bit grayish from the front while the back looks grat transparent.
however, it's not only free, it's also decent ?
I have the silk white and when sunlight hits the case the whole surrounded areas of the phone glow a pinkish light. Super cool effect.
Is the camera bump really protected? I've been using the included case for a couple of days and I cannot tell for sure if it does. I really love slim cases as dropping the phone is quite improbable in my case, but getting the camera glass scratched for putting the phone on a table would be a bummer.

I was also wondering this, I tried it on a glass table and looked from underneath and I would say the camera glass is not protected by the stock case. I wonder if it would be the same case with the karbon bumper

My search for the same answer brought me here. It looks like it's flush with the case but it's so close it's hard to tell. The case is thin and grippy and the buttons are easier to press compared to the nylon case. If I knew the camera was protected I would use it as my main case.

Thanks for that info. I guess I won't use this case on a regular.
I prefer cases that are as slim as possible. The phone is big already, and adding even more bulk with a sturdy case makes it even more cumbersome. I'm considering other choices as I don't want the camera to get scratches, but I haven't seen transparent/flexible with enough thickness to guarantee camera protection. OP cases are also compatible with the tempered glass, so I guess I'll have to go with one of the official cases (have an unopened sandstone, but again, I don't know how it fares regarding the camera).

Yep that's indeed the case
Didn't realize it until I checked the box when I selling the 5T. Then I realized I had one with the 6 as well. Definitely great that both a pre-applied protector and a case are included in the box.

I usually protect the lens with Dbrands along with the body of the phone. You can also instead opt for lens glass protectors which can be purchased pretty cheaply.
Where can I buy this case?
Would love to know this as well. I've been thinking of buying the same thing with the same colour and I've never been able to find one

So as many of you waiting for your pre-orders last week I went ahead and looked for an ultra slim case for everyday use. Spigen seemed to be a household name and went ahead and bought their Ultra Fit for $10:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I3ULRZG
I was satisfied with it, matte white, fit perfect and snug, protected the back camera and sensors when placed on a table, nothing to complain about. I had thrown out the screen cover because the cut outs were not precise at all, in fact there was no cut out for the upper sensors, only for the home button. Why would i ruin front camera quality with the screen protector over it? yuck.
I then came across Ringke Slim. I have never heard of them before but judging by their high number of reviews, it seemed that they were well versed as well in the case game. at this time i also wanted to get an electric blue case because i got tired of plain white super quick. Also, the screen protector actually had the PERFECT cut out for all sensors and front camera. This was super impressive to me and I gladly put it on even though I don't care much for screen covers in general. This is what i ordered for $9 including shipping:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IPKHP64
Well i received it today and WOW it was made of a far superior plastic. It wasn't because it was thicker but it felt very different. it felt more denser, less paper like. i compared tapping each and the Spigen was very "airy" felt cheap and very "hollow" (best way i could describe it). The sides were completely covered as opposed open which isn't a bad thing but it did feel more complete as a case. Cut outs were perfect as well and charging hasn't been a problem. I quickly realized the Spigen case is actually not as great as I thought now that I had something to really compare it to. I started seeing on the Spigen where the plastic was punched out of the mold (check picture).
Anyways enough talk here's the pictures:
http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.co....jpg?key=nBsLK_haY5suFrjdcOa0hA&ts=1397604778
And the gallery plus the Spigen white case for comparison. Notice the inside of the Spigen, wasn't even spray painted completely most likely because they used a clamp to spin it while spraying

As you can tell Ringke > Spigen in the affordable ultra slim case category.

Agreed, i bought both through amazon, and while i didnt care to use any of the screen protectors the Ringke is MUCH better and really sleek looking. Material kind of feels like the back of the phone and even looks like the back. Only downside is i hate trying to get the freaking waterproof flap out at night! Grrrr
I too have this case and am liking it.
It is hard to hook your fingernail to get the charging flap open although I assume most cases will be similar.
Ok...I'll jump aboard. I bought two cases before I got the S5 in my hands. One was the Ringke and the other was the Spigen Tough Armor.
While the Tough Armor is a very solid case and looks great, it makes the S5 feel like a brick in my hands. On the other hand, the Ringke Slim has a similar texture and gripability as the S5 naked. It doesn't even feel like the device has a case on it at all.
Nice! Defo would give Spigen a run for its money! Great to see competition here and there. At the end, we, the consumers, would benefit on it. More options, right?
Yea I just orderd 2 new Ringke cases. Ill post em up when they comr in tomorrow

thanks for this review man. Was about to order a spigen case and then saw this and after a little more research i just ordered the ringke. I went with the Dot black, I'll post up some pictures to compare with other colors once it comes in.

I should have gotten white though, because my phone is white and I got the blue color. It kind of looks funny.. I thought blue and white would look good.

I like the case. It feels good in your hand when you hold the phone.
One thing though, on my case the lip around the chrome front trim sides covers more than the lip on the top and bottom. At first I thought I didn't snap it in all the way but it seems like that's just the way it is? Is that how it fits for the rest of you that already have the case?

That's how they all are. Actually I really like this design. It's almost as if its spring loaded, its smaller than our phone, it doesn't just fit like a glove, its actually too small. But the cut outs on the top and bottom allow the plastic to "flex" basically its as if its gripping the hell out of phone, holding into place.
The Spigen hybrid I had for my GS4 was awesome looking, but broke all the time (plastic by the bottom) in anycase, this one is just as nice IMO.
Doesn't add much thickness at all, but will save it from a drop and the camera while on a desk.
If anyone is wondering, I just dunked my phone for 30 minutes with this case. So it doesn't effect the IP68(yea, I said 8, because this thing is pretty much water PROOF) rating.

I got it 3 days ago, and still haven't put it on, in fear it will scratch the outer bezel while putting it on, and taking it off

i can only say i've had to take the case off and on many times to show off to my friends how thin the actual phone is. i mastered how to take it off by pressing outwards the top left corner. you push it out enough so you can fit a finger through and i just slide it down the side and the whole case pops off. this is the easiest way i found. at first i had a problem because i didn't try a corner but started from the middle of the long side. but to answer your question, no scratches.

Definitely would love to see those photos and hear how the case is! I saw it on eBay the other day for $45, saw that two of them had been sold already, and wondered who would have paid that much, lol! But if the case is really good and attractive and holds up, then it's probably worth it. I really really like the look of them.
I don't want to make you worry in advance, but I did do some research on it when I saw it, and the reviews on Amazon Japan were less than stellar. But a flag for me was what I read from the machine translation in one review: "Because it is soft in the hybrid material, the gap will get tired and pulled to the left and right up and down." Hard to be completely certain, but it sounds an awful lot like it's an issue that I had with a very similar bumper case for my Z2 (actually have several of them), where it will pop off of the left side of the phone because the rubber part is soft or whatever, so the thing juts off the phone and you have to push it back, but eventually it loosens up more and just won't hold at all anymore. But those cases cost about $3 on Aliexpress or DX.com, so it's sort of acceptable. For $54, I'd expect an absolutely flawless case.
Other than that problem, though, those are my favorite or second-favorite cases for my Z2, hands down, so I really hope the ones for the Z5 do not all suffer that issue.

I've had a lot of these bumper type cases, and they pretty much all suffer that issue to some extent. I've never had one start falling off the device, but they all stretch out over time. PayPal will let me dispute the transaction for an extremely long time after purchase, so if it indeed does start falling off shortly after purchase then I will take it up with them. Hopefully they have fixed any flaws like that by this point, because they certainly are charging me as such.
The materials are obviously not worth anywhere near $45, but this is the ONLY decent looming bumper I have seen so far and tbh it does look really nice. Here's to hoping I won't be thinking about the cost too much when it comes in!
Case should arrive this week, will post pictures.
Ok so the case arrived recently, I've had it for a few days now. The summary: not worth $50 (obviously) but it looks good and the fingerprint reader is extremely easy to access. I will be keeping it so long as it doesn't start to fall off my phone or anything.
I can see where the case might pull away from the phone a little by the headset jack, so I am trying to be careful not to put much pressure on that area of the case when I take it off/put it on. Otherwise I don't think the case will "stretch" out any, as it is fairly firm and doesn't have much give. Construction quality is mostly good, although you can feel a few rough plastic edges in a few places. Not enough to bother me, but enough to notice.
Overall it's a good case, worth $20-25. My green z5 looks absolutely beautiful with the class back protector and this case, this is pretty much exactly the type of case I've been looking for.

The Spigen case is nice, as well as the very similar Ringke Fusion, but neither of these are what OP was asking for. He's specifically looking for a bumper that isn't a full case (i.e.: no plastic or anything on the back).
As for bumpers, I think there may be potential in modifying the Orzly Fusion case. It's similar to the Spigen and Ringke, but a little different—specifically for this purpose, the bumper and the back panel are more distinctly separate from each other than on the other cases. I bought one last week and I think the plastic back could be removed to leave only the bumper as a usable case. I'm just uncertain whether or not the bumper alone will hold the phone in place. The case is a tiny bit loose as it is (doesn't look loose, but you can feel the phone move a tiny bit when you move it around quickly). The plastic back supposedly scratches up easily, according to reviews, and I had the Orzly Fusion for my OPO, which did get scratched up extremely easily, but I have not experienced the same with their Z5 case, surprisingly. I had originally planned on modding the case myself once the back was ugly, but since it hasn't gotten scratched up as easily as I was expecting it to, I haven't decided to defile the case yet. I will report back on it if I do, but I figured I'd mention it as a possibility for a less expensive bumper case (it costs $11.99 on Amazon US) if anyone else wants to try it first. The Elecom bumper that redandblack posted definitely looks much nicer than this case, but it may be worth a shot for someone who can't or doesn't want to spend that much or someone who wants a thinner bumper (the Orzly case is quite minimal as far as bulk).
Not rubber, but there are lots of aluminium bumpers for the Z5 on Amazon now. Most of them are pretty cheap too. I had one before (can't remember which phone though) and it felt pretty nice, and was lined with foam for protection. Definitely a good option if you want something stylish, minimal, and reasonably protective.

I have the Orzly case and the back definitely does scratch but a simple mod with contact paper lets the case resist scratches and still look good. It's funny because the case is hard to put on but I definitely feel a little wiggle when you move the phone just right. I'm also interested in a simple rubber bumper since I thought the aluminum ones would scratch up the phone.

Add the clear contact paper as I mentioned and it should look like new with a frost effect.
Is there really no aluminum case which doesn't worsen the reception? I don't need aluminum, but there seems to be only one plastic bumper posted here, from elecom, which price is ridiculous.

I would also love a rubber bumper. I just got my aluminum bumper and I'll keep an eye out for that drop in reception you mentioned. I like the minimalism of the aluminum case but I'm curious if anyone has encountered issues with the case damaging the phone with scratches or anything.

I've got the Devilcase bumper in aluminium red, no issue with signal for me. It has a cut out at the top

hey guys i had this case on my nexus 6 and i loved it, but the only thing that was troubling me were the edges of the case, they were very rough ,they felt sharp and it was not usable up until i used some sandpaper to smoothen out the edges.
is this issue present on the Nexus 6p version of this case ?
i mean this one https://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Release-Unicorn-PremiumSlim-Protective/dp/B015X90UJS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1478456437&sr=8-1&keywords=nexus+6p+supcase

thanks for the confirmation, will do !
cheers.
I mean order it and if you don't like it return it, it's actually my daily case and it holds up well too.
I've had the same case for the N6 as well and the edges were never sharp, they were quite smooth. The current one I've got on my 6P is definitely better made (feels more solid), so not sure what you meant by saying the edges where sharp?
I've used this case since right after getting 6p last March. Its great, nice feel, good protection for me and looks sharp
2 complaints:
-headphone jack could be a bit wider
-back is VERY prone to scratches
I would buy it again though because I mostly use Bluetooth. If I did get another Id be more cautious about scuffing it up (dont put anything in your pocket with the phone, definitely no keys, probably just be delicate with it as a rule.

thanks for the replies guys,
mate did you have yours for long ? i would like to know how well it holds , i read reviews on amazon that the edges peel off ?
other than that, is it fitting with a glass screen protector on ? because there were reviews stating that it lifts the sgp because of how tight the case fits or something like that.
i will still get this case, because of the fact that it has a matte finish on its back which is very comfortable for 'greasy/sweaty' hands ,
i will get it , for now i got a skin sticker up next is the supcase, i will still order it despite the few nagtive reviews =)
thanks for the feedback.
The skin is going to be a problem. My supcase for N6 gave way at the seams only because i had a dbrand skin on. Otherwise I'm sure it wouldn't have
Been using the larger beetle called beetle pro or something and no problem with scratches, adhesion to phone, or with a tempered glass screen protector after removing the plastic protector that came with the case. I think it came with one of those, but it's been a year could have been a different case. Either way, works fine with tgsp so long ad no integrated protector on the case.
I am using one right now. Its a great case, I have removed the plastic screen protector from the case though.
Dropped it quite a few times, 4 foot on to concrete factory floor. Nothing happened.
Hi all, I bought the red OP6 a couple of weeks ago and have been using the clear case that was included. I have some mixed feelings about it, the positives for me are the raised corners to protect the screen (I just wish they would have done something similar for the camera), all buttons work perfectly and is clear to show off the amazing red color. I just have one negative issue which for me is very annoying, just at the middle in the back it sticks to the phone like if it is wet, which looks very bad, and creates the rainbow effect to the sides. So with this in mind, I am looking for a new case which hopefully doesn't have this issue.
Which would be the most recommended? And if any of you are using them please post some pics, I can´t seem to find any of the red OP6 in a case.
Thanks guys!

I've been using this with my OP6 with carbon fiber back skin. The sides are black and have grips and the back is totally clear and the fit is perfect.

Pretty unclear and confusing as their images show the volume switch on the wrong side Also don't think it would do much in the way of protection.

It's not bad at all. There are cases with higher raised edges but the case is pretty nice and does offer decent protection. The Ringke fusion is also a great option.

This case looks good! Yes, I have been eyeing the Ringke, although I have read in several posts that it scratches very easily, is this true? And dothis Orzly scratches as well?

There are little nubs on each corner of the Ringke to prevent it from hitting the desk or table when you put it down which eliminates a lot of the scratching. I used mine for a week and don't see any scratches in it. In the second to last photo the Orzly is on the left and Ringke is on the right. The last photos is the Ringke on the phone.
I have the Ringke clear also *I'm kind of a horder with cases lol* and because of the back being such a hard plastic it has grazes all over it. Dunno if its from being in the pocket with something else or whatever really. Also the cut out for the volume notch is totally off placement. I just can't find one that I'm like wow awesome atm. Although the Spigen case is pretty dam good but I have a dbrand skin on and it isn't a clear case unfortunately as you also would like. Would you consider a bumper case like Rhinoshields? I am awaiting mine to try out.

The Rhinoshield looks similar to the Orzly. I'm also a case hoarder and have 7 cases for the OP6. Every time a new one comes out that looks good I buy it. So far the Orzly is my favorite.
i dont think you should use a case on a red oneplus but no doubt the official red case is nice but my most used case if the nylon case which is so damn perfect... looks nice but also adds lots of grip and protection

Would not recommend it. I bought it, and the back doesn't sit close enough to the phone. At the camera cut-out there is about 1-2mm of space between the back of the case and the phone. If u don't have any skin on it you will scratch the back of your phone from all the dust and partials that can get through it.
Recommend these for the RED OP6. I own the first one.
# Good Quality. Fits well.
# Rubberised in and out.
# No room on the inside to cause scratches.
# Transparent Back.
# Decent lip on the front. Not the best raise, but certainly helps when flipping the phone over without having the screen touch the surface. Might be a problem for phone with a tempered glass. Check comments on Amazon for more info.

Thanks for the feedback, I too heard that the scratches in the Ringke came from evryday use and just having it in your pocket, whic is what worries me.
I do want to try the Rhinoshields bumper, I had one in my iPhone and an S7 and really liked them, but I am not sure how it would look since there is only black or white, and I think it takes away from the red phone aesthetics.
The Supcase might be the one, it looks pretty cool, except maybe for the black bumper. If ti were red or clear it would be a total winner.
Anyone has any experience with the Nillkin Nature Series? It looks nice !

Thats very true, my ringke fusion get all scratchy and I just kept my phone in my pocket. To cover the damage of ringke i covered it with the carbon fibre skin and now it looks more like a bumper from oneplus except for the logo.

getting mine tomorrow! how does it fare? i usually have a military grade case and as an added security, i stick one of those ring things to hold it with finger securely.
But since it has a nylon back, i cant do that, i hope its really protective since i drop my phone alot :laugh:
i might be getting a clear case in a few weeks, i feel it is cruel to hide this beautiful Red beast.
I love the look of this phone, and have always used a case, so I'm interested in your thoughts on clear cases.
I've seen my dad use them and it seems like they can get quite dirty between the phone and the case. I don't know if I'll like the feel of the hard plastic case that you get.
I did also get the cheaper insurance through Verizon that only covers replacement and only $20 glass repair, so I may just go caseless.
Spigen Ultra Hybrid in clear.
I ordered the SunRemex from Amazon with built in screen protector. I don't know if it makes a difference, but only 1 cut out for the front speaker. Not even the camera. . Wonder if it will mess with motion sense.
I would highly recommend the Caseology clear case. It's $10 with the Amazon coupon and I've used this on many past phones but currently have it on my Not Pink 3XL. I'm receiving it today along with my 4XL to make sure and show off the coloring. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07X7JWC3V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Y1S4FXG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I used this on my 3XL and it hasn't yellowed and it held up quite well. Very pleased with the purchase and the black would accent the orange quite nicely.

Just picked up this one from Amazon:

Getting it in the mail today. I can share my thoughts once I get it. I usually go caseless and use a pop socket but it won't stick to the back because of the finish. Plus I still want to use wireless charging so I can just remove the case every night. I bought a pop socket mount for my car a few weeks ago so I'd like to continue using that as well.
This one has a built in screen protector that sucks... I snatched it out the case and used a TGSP, now I absolutely love it!

The Skyfall is on the bulky side but it does get easier to take off after a few tries. I take it off from the bottom first then peel off the rest easily.

I can tell you that the ESR Mimic is a great case.
I had ordered the ESR Mimic, the essential zero and the Spigen Liquid Crystal and ultimately kept the Mimic and returned the others.
The Mimic is slim, has the tpu bumper for grippiness and the glass back looks and feels great.
I got it with the above codes and before they raised the price a little so I paid approx. $14, which is a steal.
I know it'll yellow eventually with the tpu bumper, but I'll enjoy it until then. I've already got the google fabric case, which is bulkier but feels and looks great too. And, whenever rhinoshield gets their act together, I'm all over their bumper case.
Have been wanting to see this on a device. Using a fabric case myself, but this will likely be the next.

Spiegen Liquid Crystal Clear. Looks glorious. Usually go with Rinke Fusion but glad I switched
I have the spigen ultra hybrid and the ESR essentially zero case. Both are great depending upon how much protection you feel comfortable with. While the ESR feels great and fits great, I feel better with the additional thickness of the spigen. But they are both great as far as clear cases go.

Yep. I'm still very much enjoying my esr mimic. Really nice case and as I said above, I also used the discount code.
I just yesterday ordered the Totallee thin case (also with nice discount) in my pursuit for a super slim case. Should have it Monday and I'm thinking I'll like it after reading some reviews. And I'm still waiting for the rhinoshield bumper case.

How's this case working out for you? I've been through a couple of clear cases so far but not completely satisfied yet and came across the TORRAS as well so I'm curious how it actually is.
I have the Spigen liquid crystal on right now, but the excessive branding along the edges is pushing me towards another case and I believe one of the ESR clear cases is the same way. Does the TORRAS have a lot of branding and text along the edges? I don't understand why they put all that on clear cases to begin with.

I'm liking it so far. I remove it every night to charge it wirelessly and it's not a problem. It doesn't add too much bulk and you can still see the design of the phone. There is absolutely no branding on the sides. The edges around the front aren't huge and don't bother me one bit. You can still easily call up the assistant with gestures.
