Buy the Spigen Thin Fit Case for OnePlus Open: amzn.to/4aMK6kp (Affiliate Link) Buy a Pop Socket amzn.to/3TThGy7 (Affiliate Link) Pop socket came off lol. Too much bulk!
Hey Shane, I found a cool grip on Amazon called the tango. Its incredibly thin and functions the same as a pop socket, I'm going to set the Spigen and that to see how it does. Thanks for the cider!
I've had this case for about a week. It's absolutely amazing. I didn't use the adhesive on the back side so I can easily swap my sim around, no issues of it coming off without the adhesives. If you can point out in your next video that glass screen protectors will not work with this case just to let others know. I tried 5 different brands and all are too big for the case. Maybe Spigen can see your video and decide to make a screen protector too.
In my opinion, cases with build in screen protection are the way to go for foldables. They make the cover screen protection very sturdy and the screen protector is just a bonus that doesnt add any bulk. Two birds, one stone.
I settled on the Nillkin case with hinge protection and a spring loaded cover for the camera. It doesn't use adhesive but fits securely to the Open. I need quick access to my sim tray since I use multiple devices through the week.
@@Decky1980 Yea, it's not the most aesthetic feature and I've caught myself taking a pic and forgetting to uncover the camera. It's definitely the most negative aspect of the cover. I like how the front part fits the Open and the hinge protection. The Open opens flat when in use. The case is very durable and feels good in the hand.
The Libeagle did it for me. Hinge protection and built in cover screen protector and still kept it slick with a kickstand. Havent dropped it holding it yet. Fell out of my pocket on the baseball field and phone is still intact.
Ty for the review, i'm waiting the Oneplus original one with the stand and an aramid one form china.....and finaly the last software update the 14.0,0.600(EX01) have arrived here in Italy
I got a cheap Chinese case made for the Oppo Find N3 Fold. It was $10 from ebay and it has the metal ring built in for magsafe accessories. It does the job.
Great video! Curious of your opinion on something. I have the Fold5 and I'm bored with it and seeing how the Fold6 looks to be not much of an upgrade would you recommend the OnePlus Open? OnePlus is giving $1150 trade in for the Fold5 so I could get it for under $400.
I'm going to wait for a transparent version, other color options and if it's available one with hinge protection. The Poetic case is the best quality so far but they messed up the design with the crazy huge hinge protector loved the grip and how thin it's otherwise
I have so been hoping for Spigen to do a case for the Open and for a millisecond thaught that wish came true - until I read the "thin" part. I have been very happy with their Tough Armor one for my OnePlus 8 Pro and saw them having a Slim Armor one for the Pixel Fold that looks like providing a good amount of bumper on all sides. That is what I hope Spigen to do for the Open, too.
Its twice as thick as the included oneplus case. I put on one half and you can see the difference is so obvious. Thats good for protection. It feels nice Camnot be used with a tempered glass dcreen protector
Really wish Pitaka had made a case for the phone. Grown to really like the aramid fiber cases, and they make the best ones hands down. OnePlus Open could've used one.
Hi Shane, what icon pack are you using? Really liking them and great video as well such a coincidence I was looking at this case recently for my OnePus Open but it's so new there aren't any reviews yet so this very timely!
I would prefer to hold the open device with my left hand and use the index ☝🏻 of the right one to control it. But I see if you rotate it sideways that works with the popsocket. I've just ordered both the device and the popsocket!
3m tape on the area of the screen would stick on the screen protector. Don't you think if we take the front case off, it would take the screen protector off too from that side. Especially membrane ones.
The only cases I like on my Open are the ones that go over the camera. It makes it way nicer to hold. My pointer finger rest nicely inside one of the camera holes. I found one on Amazon that is slightly thicker then the free one but not as thick as the rest
I lapped my Galaxy Z Fold 3 getting out of a semi lifter F350, it hit the step-bar at an angle which projected it outwards, it landed on the scheen and slid about 6-10 feet facedown across the asphalt. It left a REALLY teeny tiny little nick on the corner of the phone and not a scratch on the screen. I was like how is that possible!
I shipped one from USA to Malaysia. They only have chinese cases here, including nilikin thst im using now. Honestly its good but its really ugly. Excited to recieve the spigen case. Hope it works out well. We use the Oppo Find N3 here. Hoping the fit is the same. 😊
Shane - have you tried ring holders instead of pop sockets for the oneplus open? Any thoughts? I use the Lamicall rings with 3M adhesive that is built in.
There is a small rectangular noise cancelling microphone on the bottom right side of the camera hump. Does this caes cover it or is there enough space?
I have a similar case. Don't remember which company. I don't use the kickstand cause I don't have nails to get the thing open 😂. I used the front screen protector for a while but it was getting too annoying. So now I use the back of the Amazon case (with the hinge protection flap/fidget toy) in combination with the front case that came in the box...
@@sayididit2930 I also don't really use the kickstand, lol. I would rather have MagSafe instead of the kickstand. The front screen protector on mine is working out for me so far.
@sayididit2930 The hinge protector will push out of the way and bend the thin ridge of that original front each time you open and close the phone. Thus I am not happy with that setup - the only reason, I actually set it up today as that Amazon case arrived, is that I do not want to commit to the screenprotector before evaluating compatibility with another (book style) case option that I want to swap between most likely.
@@elho001 Mine doesn't move the front protector at all when opening, completely solid. I can't even move the front cover with my fingers. You may have a defective one.
You are talking about the front bumper with protective screen that came with the Amazon one, right? I was referring to using the OnePlus front bumper with the Amazon backone like@@sayididit2930 described in his reply. And as that OnePlus front bumper does not have the protective screen to provide stability and stick it to the device, the thin ridge on the left moves very easily.
For that price and no built in screen protector or protection on the hinge it's a big no. Most of these cases get flimsy from the part of the main screen on the hinge side. They need to make one that is thinner and with a built in screen protector that works well. Like a latercase
It is not unfortunately. There is not a screen protector that is compatible with the Spigen case yet. I tried 5 different ones and all were too big and cause the protector to start bubbling up
Congrats! Now you got an LG V60 in a DS case for 7 time the price 😂. Well, you do get an extra screen with the Open but only that one is glass. Also better specs and software support but again 7 times the price.
@@scaryifliteral I am just disappointed that Duo was a failure because now my only upgrade path is a foldable - Duo 2 is so purely supported that even my V60 is on a higher Android number. Hopefully the inner screen on new foldables won't crack on the middle or get destroyed by a foreign object like send.
Bro, I've watched you grow from around 1k subs to where you are now. I have a question that's not related to the video. How do you upload so frequently? I've been trying to build my channel as well, and I struggle at times with consistently uploading videos. Even just creating and editing videos takes me a while, so what's your process like, if you don't mind sharing?
Switching back and forth as often as you do how do you keep up with you text messages since Google messages don't work like imessages or am I missing something?
You gotta understand not everyone wants what you want. I cannot stand cases with built in screen protectors. Every one I've ever tried has been awful 😂
@@scaryifliteral it's that adhesive that would not let go, luckily it did not break. It goes to show you it's a secure case. I think it was the initial install with the adhesive tape inside..phew
I agree that every case should have magsafe, however I don't really see magsafe serving a purpose with this phone. The camera makes it almost impossible to use accessories
of course they did their research, every case that has hinge protection makes an already heavy phone more heavy and bulky, no one wants a heavier foldable.

This would be killer with a kickstand...
Hopefully when the Open 2 comes out, there will be more case options at launch.
long time for that as yet considering OPPO are suggesting Q2/3 of 2025
Hi Shane, do you think the Spigen Case is better than the Nillkin case, which has hinge protection also? Which one would you choose amongst these two?

No hinge protection while closed is a deal-breaker for me. I'm sticking with the Nillkin case.
I can't stand the bulk they add + I've never had any hinge damage. To each their own though!
Phone came with armored glass already from the factory and a shock absorbent leather back. That's enough protection for me!
@@scaryifliteral Bulk? Phone fits just fine in all my pockets. No skinny jeans for me!

Spigen makes great cases, but I think I'll sooner go caseless than add that kind of thickness. An aramid fiber case might be fine, though.

i got mine yesterday, i agree, its well made for sure, trying to get those tiny strips of tape were a pain!
Shane, thanks for your videos. I was considering the Spigen case and this video helps a lot. I think I'll go for it.
Have you tried the snap 4? I'm looking to get this spigen case and was going to try it with the snap.

I got the red Luxury Plain Leather Shockproof Magsafe Ultra Thin Phone Case from ebay with a kenu kickstand
Still on the fence on whether or not to wait for the fold 6 or get a OnePlus, this phone has perfect dimensions
I was in the boat I just order the one plus fold
Shane - have you tried ring holders instead of pop sockets for the oneplus open? Any thoughts? I use the Lamicall rings with 3M adhesive that is built in.
I've actually swapped it to a little ring one I had. Lower profile, we'll see how that goes.

I'm going to wait for the next model!
Random question, can you have a video lockscreen on the oneplus?

I cannot *stand* built in screen protectors lol. Instant disqualifier for me.
I've dropped it twice without a case 😆. Didn't damage it too bad. Just a couple of dings.
Is this compatible with a tempered glass screen protector? I have d-brands glass protector for the Open.
Thanks

Have you tried the poetic spartan case?
Can't fit in my pocket 😂
Is this case ticker then the case that comes with the phone? I rather have something that only protects the corners
It's something like twice as thick

I purchased the POETIC with a kickstand , gie it look

SMS backup and Restore.
I use the Oppo Find N3 stand case very good
No hinge cover. 😢
I'm waiting for a DBrand case 🤞
The most functional case is the Nillkin.
$49 for a case without kickstand or screen protector is robbery
You gotta understand not everyone wants what you want. I cannot stand cases with built in screen protectors. Every one I've ever tried has been awful 😂
@@scaryifliteral Awful in what way? Bulky or screen not responsive?
Totally agree on built in screen protectors being horrible
cool thanks
Way to expensive for the thin materials used. No thanks Spigen!
Its cheaper now. Amazon Canada has it for 17.99 CAD
I just decided to pry this off and nearly broke my phone
You broke the phone removing this case?
@@scaryifliteral it's that adhesive that would not let go, luckily it did not break. It goes to show you it's a secure case. I think it was the initial install with the adhesive tape inside..phew
same lol, i had to use so much force to take off this case it felt like id separate both halfs of the phone lol
Every case SHOULD BE MAGSAFE
I agree that every case should have magsafe, however I don't really see magsafe serving a purpose with this phone. The camera makes it almost impossible to use accessories
Good video
Well... Spigen clearly did their research on this one, fail. No hinge protection means no chance this will sell well. Hard pass.
of course they did their research, every case that has hinge protection makes an already heavy phone more heavy and bulky, no one wants a heavier foldable.
Its pronounced "spee-gin"?! I been calling them "spy-gin" my whole life!
