I ordered 2 different screen protectors. Here are my quick reviews on both:

Rhino: Crap. Absolute crap. I consider myself an expert in applying screen films, and this ended up with bubbles and what looked like bends in the film. I took it off. What a waste of money. No, it was not glass.

NillKin glass: very happy with this this. No bubbles, feels like the original screen. Easy install.

Buy glass, people.

how long does the shipping usually take? Also, I plan on having ghost Armour on the Oneplus one as I have it on my current phone, I'm not a fan of having a bulky phone and want it as naked as possible, through I'd have to baby the phone and not drop it if I've no case.

Don't Ghost Armour. Use dbrand.

The NillKin took about a week, from Amazon.ca. Rhino took like 3 weeks, because of customs.

Good to know. Thanks.

I'm also rockin' the NillKin Frosted Shield case, in black. Has a nice matt black finish, that doesn't pick up finger prints and has a bit of a grip to it.

I also got a white and clear Cruzerlite case. I might be selling the white one. Also got the black TPU case from Boxwave, but I don't like the feel. Might sell it.

RedMileDJ · 09-24-2014, 12:49 AM

Oh, and I also bought the white OEM flip case. It's awesome. Phone wakes up and sleeps when opening and closing. Only gripe is that there is no hole for the indicator light, and when you have the cover flipped over and around, it covers some of the camera.

One thing though, the texture of the back of the phone is really nice already. There really isn't a need for 3M style backs and even then I would only get dBrand

Definitely the glass is worth it. If you are willing to wait though the Orzly or the Bepak are both slightly better than the Nillkin. But again it's a trade off because those ship either from China or Europe. Links for these are in the thread in an earlier post.

In any case, if anyone wants to replace their back covers because of a drop or just want to get a white one. They are shipping white/black case backs now. These are the same price as what Oneplus sells them for but you save shipping at expense vs time. $29USD

If you want the Bamboo covers, some are available scalped even though they are official cancelled. $65USD right now... I managed to snag one when they were still $49

So how many people have a phone case or does everyone just use a screen protector? I really like the OEM flip case look and feel. If anyone in Calgary area is buying a OnePlus One can you let me know and include a case for me in your order? The shipping is too ridiculous to get the case by itself....

Thanks in advanced

I'll share my invites when I receive them, still nothing yet.

I prefer the simplistic/uniform look rather than a front window panel, but that's just me... hahaha

Jing · 09-24-2014, 11:09 AM

Could you add me to the list? I haven't received invites from when I purchases a opo so I can share one when I receive them. Apparently they are working on camera improvements (software) so I am interested again.

SHOGUN · 09-24-2014, 11:13 AM

How long did it take to ship for you guys?

I didn't use a screen protector with the OEM flip case. Now that I'm using a shell case, I've added the glass on.

Peace of mind.

I've also ordered the Orzly glass to compare. I'm happy with this NillKin, so far.

I'd love a bamboo cover, but the idea of taking my back off is kind of scary. Wish there was just a simple she'll bamboo, similar to my NillKin.

Reminder to have yourself set up for PMs email notifications or send me your email. Had some non-responders.

RedMileDJ · 09-24-2014, 01:49 PM

Just a reminder people: don't ask for an invite unless you're ready to buy RIGHT NOW.

These invites usually have a 24 hour expiry. Which means they need to be used right away. Don't ask for the invite and not buy, when someone else after you probably could have.

1_Flames_Fan · 09-24-2014, 03:06 PM

Ever since one of my invites expired without being used after I gave it away they haven't given me anymore invites. Everyone loses.😢
