Initial Impressions
Relatively simple packaging. Cheapest case at $3 USD. Fits the device just fine, nowhere near as premium feeling as the Diztronic. Probably best choice to go with if you haven't decided on your final case?
Cost
- $2.60 USD (from A l i xpress - Search it and it'll be there!)
Pros
- Won't Crack due to material,
- Cheapest!
- Best TPU for your $!
- All round protection
Cons
- Not the most solid material available.
- Fitment isn't the best
Aluminium Bumper Case
Initial Impressions
Packaging is probably the worst, nevertheless it came complete. This case works by surrounding the OPO with an aluminium frame that may/may not protect it from drops. It is however by far the most aesthetic case as compared to the rest. The bottom left side has a bulge and this is due to the screw location. The frame sits just above my tempered glass, so it'd protect against situations where the screen is facing down. The bumper also had in-built buttons and thus button operation is a breeze. During my time of usage I've never really noticed a decrease in signal strength.
Cost
- $6.50 USD (eBay)
Pros
- Aesthetically pleasing.
- Relatively cheap
- Light
- Bezels go around the whole device
- Minimal 'tip' to prevent face drops
Cons
- No Back protection
- Left underside bulge
Conclusion
Most protective: Diztronic
Best Aesthetic: Aluminium Bumper (IMO anyway)
Cheapest: Generic TPU Case
So there's that, sorry if I do not go into details enough.. It is my first time writing up a review. Hopefully it is helpful to fellow forum members!
Which case do you guys like and which would you own?
If you were wondering which one is my daily driver..
It matches the cable colour even!
Edit: Some forum members has asked why I haven't reviewed any flip cases, Tudia, Orzly or the CruzerLite BugDroid..
- I'm not a big fan of flip cases.. They drive me nuts when I'm operating my phone in the car!
- Tudia & Orzly was initially avaiable in amazon.com/amazon.uk and it was harder for me to obtain them (as I reside in Auckland, NZ). I did however really want to buy the Orzly.. But had to settle for something else in the end.
- With the CruzerLite BugDroid, I already have it on my nexus 7 and I gotta say that it is also well built! With that said, I didn't want to have a same case on my OPO
Should I get more cases? Post up a suggestions!
I was thinking of getting a few more accessories.
