OnePlus 3

Last week, OnePlus launched their fourth handset — the OnePlus 3. The company’s latest flagship handset is available without any invites this time around and was even released without any unnecessary over-the-top marketing.

Unlike the previous two flagship killers from the Never Settle company, the OnePlus 3 features a unibody design with a non-removable back. This means that while the handset looks and feels more premium, it is less forgiving towards drops with dings easily showing up on its body. This makes having a case for the handset a must. So to help solve your dilemma on which case to buy for your OnePlus 3, we have rounded up some of the best ones that are available on the market for it.

OnePlus Protective Case

OEM cases are usually very expensive and offer very little in terms of features and functionality. The official protective cases from OnePlus are an exception to this rule though. The cases are available in five different finishes: Apricot, Karbon, Sandstone, Rosewood, and Bamboo; and have been priced at a reasonably $24.95.

While this is on the higher end, the quality and texture offered by the cases will help in making your OnePlus 3 standout from the crowd of other unibody aluminium phones while doing a decent job at protecting it from drops and daily wear and tear.

Dbrand Skin

I am not really a fan of cases since they add bulk to the handset and spoil their beautiful design. However, there is no denying the fact that phones nowadays need some kind of protection which is why I tend to favor skins from Dbrand. They are more minimalistic than even the most minimalistic case that you can find. Being a skin, they offer limited protection, but they sure do a great job of making your phone standout from the crowd.

Dbrand skins for the OnePlus 3 are available in a variety of finish and colors, and if you have not tried them before and hate cases like me, I highly recommended you to give them a shot once.

Pleson Ultra Slim Crystal Clear Case

If you are looking for a no-nonsense and basic clear case for your OnePlus 3, the Pleson Ultra Sim Crystal should be ideal for you. Made from lightweight TPU, the flexible case features cut outs for all ports, though it does cover the buttons. The front lip of the case is slightly raised that helps it in protecting the display of the phone from scratches when kept upside down on a desk or from minor drops.

At $4.95, Pleson’s Ultra Slim Crystal Clear case for the OnePlus 3 is cheap enough that you can buy one without having to think twice about it.

Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit case

Cruzerlite has made a name for itself in the case market by offering strong gel/TPU cases with unique designs. The Bugdroid Circuit case for the OnePlus 3 from Cruzerlite lives up to their reputation of offering a quality TPU case with all the necessary cut outs, including those for the power and volume buttons, while still being relatively slim and light. The case has shock absorbent properties that also help it in better protecting your flagship killer from drops and dings.

At $15.99, Cruzerlite’s TPU cases can be slightly on the higher side, but then they are available in a bunch of colors and designs that no other case maker offers in the market.
