5.0 out of 5 starsA tad slippery, but attractive and well-made TPU case
Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2017
As of mid-December 2017, there is not a huge variety of cases available for the OnePlus 5T. I knew I wanted a TPU case and didn't want to pay more than $10, and I kind of liked the gray color, so I ordered this one. It fits the phone very well--it's feels snug and solid, and it's definitely a couple notches above the jelly case that ships with the 5T. There is only a very slight lip above the screen, but it should be just enough to prevent any impact between the screen and the floor in the event of an unfortunate drop. The case looks pretty slick and has rugged sort of metallic, "machined steel" look on the back. It's attractive and seems well-made and exceeds my expectations on those fronts.
Although I like this case a lot--especially for the money--there are two things to be aware of. First, the case actually is pretty slick--it already slipped out of my hand once. I assume that will diminish over time as it gets broken in. Second, the "gray" case looks to be quite a different shade in real life than in the product photo. Here, it looks almost like a sand or even gold color, but mine looks much more like actual "gray" (I'd call it a charcoal color). But it goes nicely with my black OnePlus and will help it stand out a bit when I misplace it. I don't find either of these caveats enough of a drawback to take off a star.
All in all, I recommend this case for anyone looking for a low-profile TPU case for their 5T, as long as you're not expecting exactly the color you see in the picture. If you can't find this exact brand, there seem to be lots of clones of this design (carbon fiber-esque design on the back at top and bottom) on Amazon and eBay. I imagine any of them will be just like this one.
