The OnePlus 3 may offer great value by sporting high-end specs and undercutting the competition in terms of price, but it is still an investment worth protecting. Especially considering the new design. That metal body looks great, but if we know anything about said material, that’s the fact it is very prone to scratches and dents, not to mention metal tends to be slippery.
Are you looking for a good case for your shiny OnePlus 3? Available options are endless, so we know how hard it can be to find the right one. In this list we will share our favorites. Without further ado, let’s jump right in and take a look at some of the best OnePlus 3 cases in the market.
Official OnePlus 3 cases
The new design and lack of swapable backs means all OnePlus 3 devices will look the same naked. That doesn’t mean you have to follow the crowd, though. OnePlus has created slim and very good-looking cases made of the same materials offered by the Chinese startup in the past. Available versions include sandstone, bamboo, black apricot, karbon and rosewood. The sandstone case goes for $19.95, while all other iterations will cost you $24.95.
These cases will look great, but we assume they won’t do too much in terms of protection. Keep reading to find stronger alternatives.
Love Ying Ultra Flexible TPU case
Sometimes you just want the case to disappear, especially if you are dealing with a phone worth showing off. If you want people to notice your smartphone’s looks without leaving it at risk, this Love Ying case may be one of your best bets.
This case is super thin and transparent, so most people won’t even notice it at first glance. Oh, and it’s only $7.39! Don’t expect it to protect your phone too much, but it should be able to keep most scratches away.

This LK case is also super thin, but does a little more to make your phone look and feel different. It is black and features a textured back that prevents slips.

Orzly Grip-Pro case
This dual-layer case also offers a shock-absorbing inner layer and solid outer shell, but the design is a bit more intricate. Not to mention the textured, rubberized outer material, which is meant to make slips much more rare.
It’s also a bit cheaper at $9.99, so you might want to take a closer look at it.
OnePlus 3 Otterbox case
Otterbox has a reputation built upon years of manufacturing some of the most durable cases in the market. They are also known for being huge and bulky, but they have been improving their cases’ aesthetics and the OnePlus 3 Otterbox is pure testament of that.
This case is still not the thinnest, but it finds a great balance between a sleek profile and a good level of protection. The dual-layer protection will keep it safe from bumps, drops and shock. And it has Otterbox’s approval with over 24 types of tests and above 238 hours of rigorous abuse.
All of this comes with a price, though. This case is the most expensive in the list at $39.95.
