Hey guys. I am moving from having a Huawei 5X (Work Phone, absolute turd performance) and S7 Edge to a one phone solution with 2x SIMS. Phone should be here early this week. What case / cover can you recommend

I have both the Neo and Ultra Hybrid. Spigen are my go to for phone cases.

Nillkin? Always used to be my "go-to" or are they frowned upon now

Be careful with cases if you want a TGSP. For this reason I run with just a dbrand skin and don't have any issues what so ever

I was going to ask about a TGSP for the OnePlus - the eBay ones I've fitted in the past for my Sony and a couple of Samsungs, have made the screen really unresponsive, almost completely unusable! I was going to ask anyway, but what's recommended re: TGSP? Any particular brands etc?

Thanks.

Got a Nilikin on mine. Not too bulky and protects all the important areas

The one I've got is no longer sold, I did have a OrZly one which was damn awful and I'll never buy any of their products ever again.

Don't you just love it - I put my phone in my brodit mount and chipped my TGSP - Guess I'm in the market in a few weeks time

The Brodit mount with a dbrand skin is interesting so I have to put the phone in at an angle at first and clearly a bit too much of one and it put too much stress on the screen protector

Thanks guys. I got a Spigen for my S7 Edge and had a few drops with no tears so may go for that.

I got my phone delivered on Friday and loving it. It is bloody quick. Unfortunately however my Giffgaff SIM card isn't a nano so won't fit

Anyone recommend any good cases for the phone?

You can poke the chip out to turn it in to a nano sim, unless it's a really old one?

I have a Diztronic case, love it, nice and slim but covers the edges to good protection.

I think the card is about 2-3 years old. It doesn't look to have a pre-cut outline for the chip so I've ordered a new one.

Ah you must have an older one that was just sim + micro sim, you can trim them down with scissors to fit in the nano slot but you've ordered a replacement so no biggy

I was half tempted to cut it myself but thought better of it. I was the type of kid in school that needed safety scissors.

Just noticed a problem with my 3T. Using BT earphones, audio will often cut-out for a second. Worked perfectly on my old Sony Z3. Did seem happen more when phone was in trouser pocket, jacket pocket, not as much.

UPDATE; Used the Oneplus online chat support, needed to clear the bluetooth cache/data and seems to work ok now. So a thumbs up for the customer service on this occasion

Quick question re WhatsApp. I have two sims in my phone now (1x work 1x personal) is there anyway to run 2x accounts off the same App ?

I ended up getting the Nillkin Frosted Shield Hard Case and it feels really nice on the phone. It doesn't feel like the phone will slip out of my hand.

What's the overall consensus on tempered glass with these? Is there any particular brand of choice?

Does anyone know how to stop the music player kicking in as soon as i plug headphones in? Or at least let me choose which to open.
