1. Orzly OnePlus 6 Case Fusion Bumper Case

Ok guys. The first OnePlus 6 case I’m going to talk about is the cheapest one in the list. This case only comes in Black and you can afford it. The back panel is transparent because it is made of transparent plastic and it is really hard. A shock absorbing rubber rim covers the other parts of the phone except the back. It is very soft to your hand and doesn’t add almost any bulk. You can lay down your OnePlus 6 without thinking twice because the sides wrap around just beyond the front screen making a little gap between the screen and the rubber. When talking about the rubber frame, it is really comfortable as I said before and it smooths the corners nicely and provides a firm grip to your hand. The case also works as a shock absorbed due to its production material and you don’t have to be afraid even it fell off. (I mean, be afraid if it fell off but the case provides an extra protection.) The case weighs only 2.08 ounces and that means it is extremely light.

Pros,

  • No bulk at all
  • Smooth edges
  • Shock absorbing
  • Transparent back
  • Cheap
  • Simple and soft
  • Provides a firm grip
  • Few color options available

Cons,

  • Screen protective but not much
  • Only comes in Black
  • Weighs a bit

2. Poetic Karbon Shield [Shock Absorbing] Slim Fit TPU Case with [Carbon Fiber Texture] for OnePlus 6 Case Black

This case is actually looks like a tough one but it isn’t. This is a case made of extremely thin carbon fiber. Due to the usage of carbon fiber as the production material this case is very light. It just weighs 1.76 ounces. The case is only compatible with OnePlus 6 and supports any screen protectors or wet filters and also you can afford it. In addition to being slim and light this is also a flexible one (That doesn’t mean you can roll this) and a shock absorbing one. The case provides a good grip but also little bulk to the hand and the corners are little rough because of its design.

Pros,

  • Extremely slim and light (Carbon Fiber)
  • Flexible
  • Good design
  • Shock Absorbing
  • Supports any screen protector or wet filter
  • Cheap

Cons,

  • Little bulk
  • Rough corners
  • Not — so good design (depends on the user)

3. Ringke OnePlus 6 Case, Crystal Clear PC Back [Enhanced Corner Defense] Lightweight Upgraded Transparent TPU Bumper Case

The unique thing in this case is the Wrist Strap. You don’t need to be afraid of the phone — falling disease because there is a Wrist Strap in this case. All you have to do is put your hand through the Strap. In addition to that strap the case is also extremely drop protected (I can’t imagine why they send a Wrist Strap with a military grade drop protection). The case indeed protects the phone from scratches besides from droppings (Not that droppings) (Also the manufacturer says that the phone survived drop test from a height of 4 feet on 26 impacts). The outer frame is made of transparent Polycarbonate (PC) and it is tough. The back is made of also Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) and it is transparent too. The case will only support several screen protectors and some will not. This just weighs 0.8 ounces and that means this is two times extremely lighter than the previous case. The only disadvantage in this case is the accessing slider button and it is really hard to do.

Pros,

  • Crystal clear back
  • Extremely light weight
  • Military grade drop protection
  • Wrist Strap

Cons,

  • Won’t support every screen protector (only a few will support)
  • Difficult to access buttons
  • Marks your finger print on the case
  • The case easily gets scratched

4. TUDIA Slim-Fit HEAVY DUTY EXTREME Protection/Rugged but Slim Dual Layer Case for OnePlus 6 Case

With an outer layer made of PC and slim and soft back made of TPU, this case offers you the light weight and form-fitting protection for OnePlus 6 with four different colors to choose. As I said in the first case this case provides protection to the screen when the device is laying facing down. The case comes with the Shock Absorbing well smoothed edges. The case is slim, also solid and soft to the hand and adds very little bulk to the phone. If you are going to use this case, you’ll be able to access any buttons and ports easily. The case is dual layer and protects your phone by dropping from considerable heights. The case weighs about 1.76 ounces and you’ll feel little weight after installing the case (but that is nothing to car about) The design looks very simple and quite beautiful but the case is little bit slippery because there is no roughened area to tight the grip. You will be able to buy this case for little more than $10.

Pros,

  • Thin and Soft
  • Different colors to choose
  • Supports screen protectors
  • Shock absorbing and drop protective (Dual Layer and it is extremely effective)
  • Can access buttons and ports easily
  • Smooth edges

Cons,

  • Adds a little bulk
  • No firm grip
  • Weighs a bit when comparing to others

5. SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Style Series Premium Hybrid Protective Clear Case for OnePlus 6

Another case with transparent back and shock absorbing dual layer protection. The design is quite simple and good it allows you to show off your phone since it is transparent. The transparent back is scratch resistant and a fingerprint collector. The raised edges provide good protection for both screen and the camera. While weighing 1.44 ounces this case is soft to the hand and doesn’t add almost any bulk because of the TPU back. I must say that the buttons are nicely fitted on the spot and ports are sharply carved off (sometimes you’ll find that the buttons are bit upset because when pressing one button it will automatically press another button — that is because not bulging those nicely fitted buttons). Also this is a screen protector friendly one you don’t have to be afraid of your screen. The best thing is the manufacturer (SUPCASE) gives one-year warranty for the user.

Pros,

  • Slim and Soft
  • Transparent back
  • Scratch resistant
  • Buttons and ports are nicely placed and carved
  • Supports screen protectors
  • One-year warranty

Cons,

  • Collects fingerprint (no suitable for top secret works — just kidding)
  • Even though the buttons are well place they are not well bulged (causes trouble)

6. OnePlus 6 Belt Clip Case — Encased (DuraClip) Slim Fit Holster Shell Combo w/Rubberized Grip

Have any trouble carrying your phone in your pocket? Well then, this is the best solution that any case can provide right now. The Encased Belt Clip Case come with a fully rotatable belt holster and also a built-in kick-stand for hands-free viewing (best for movies I guess. Weighing about 3.52 ounces this case actually gives considerable bulk to the phone and it is little bit difficult to remove the phone from the holster. The case only comes in the color Black and it has a good design on back and its frame is made of solid but soft PC to make the phone not slippery when mounted with kick-stand. Despite having a roughened design the phone is little slippery to the hand. The case doesn’t cover the top and bottom of the phone making the case edges bit pointy and sometimes difficult to hold. That is not a considerable problem while looking at the given advantages from this case.

Pros,

  • Rotatable belt clip and built-in kickstand

Cons,

  • Adds considerable bulk to the phone (no problem if you are using the belt clip)
  • The design in the back easily collects dust and dirt
  • Slippery
  • Doesn’t cover the top and bottom (making edges little pointy)
  • Weighs

7. Spigen Rugged Armor OnePlus 6 Case with Flexible and Durable Shock Absorption with Carbon Fiber Design

if I’m right this is the second flexible case in the list. Spigen Rugged Armor case comes with a technology called Air Cushion in order to shock absorbing with carbon fiber design to make the case lighter. As all the cases do this case also protects the screen from scratches by the raised case frame from the front. The case only weighs 1.28 ounces and it is really soft to the user’s hand with a well-tightened grip. The only bad thing in this case is that it is not a screen protector-friendly one. The buttons and ports are easily accessible because of those nice cutouts. Interior spider web patter may collect some dust and dirt if not cleaned. Despite being called Rugged Armor this case doesn’t provide protection as they say. The design is quite good by the way.

Pros,

  • Slim, soft and lighter
  • Provides a good grip
  • Easily accessible buttons and ports

Cons,

  • Not much protection as they say
  • Not screen protector supporting one
  • Interior design may collect some dust and dirt

8. Poetic Revolution [360 Degree Protection] Full-Body Rugged Heavy Duty Case [With Tempered Glass] for OnePlus 6

This tough as nails looking Poetic Revolution is an all-rounder at protecting your phone. The case comes with a FREE tempered glass that fits very well after the installation and the case also provides the protection from dust and dirt by its dust flaps in each port (also you can use this without the screen protector or with another screen protector you may have) (the dust flap in the charging port doesn’t always keep shut). This is the second most weighing case in the list and it weighs 4.2 ounces. The case is made of very hard PC making its edges very tough and may be a problem for some users (especially when in pocket). The case is really weigh as I said before and it adds considerable bulk to the phone. Sometimes it may be difficult to hold on. The design is good but unnecessary.

Pros,

  • Maximum protection from every sides
  • Free tempered glass
  • Dust flaps

Cons,

  • Bulky
  • Unnecessary design
  • Weighs
  • Too tough material
  • Not soft for hand
  • Some flaps don’t work properly

9. Poetic Guardian [Scratch Resistant] [360 Degree Protection] Full-Body Rugged Clear Bumper Case [With Tempered Glass] for OnePlus 6

Just as the previous case I described, this Poetic Guardian is an all-rounder at protecting your phone too. Similar to the previous case this case also offers a Free tempered glass (also you can use this without the screen protector or with another screen protector you may have). But in this the back panel is clear and it is scratch resistant one. The weight is considerably minimal than the Poetic Revolution, weighing about 3.52 ounces this case will show less bulk on your phone than previous one. Since the case is very hard (not too hard like Revolution) the buttons are little difficult to use. The user has to press little harder to use the buttons because of the product material they used. Though the installment of the case is pretty easy the uninstalling the case isn’t. The edges are pretty fine and smooth. Not too hard and doesn’t feel uncomfortable. The case has a simple design on its back and it is nothing to be worry about.

Pros,

  • Maximum protection from every sides
  • Free tempered glass
  • Good grip
  • Smooth finish
  • Scratch resistant and crystal clear back panel

Cons,

  • Bit bulky (least in the genre)
  • Back panel may attract fingerprints
  • Buttons are difficult to use
  • Dust goes through the ports

10. SUPCASE [UB PRO] Full-body Rugged Drop-Proof Case with Built-In Screen Protector and Rotating Belt Clip Holster for OnePlus 6

As the name describes this SUPCASE [UB PRO] is a high end case that gives you the ultra-protection as you exactly wanted. This case comes with a “detachable” rotating belt clip to holster it in your belt. Unlikely the previous cases this case comes with a built-in screen protector to secure your screen from front. In case you slipped the phone from your hand you don’t have to worry anymore because this case is maximum drop protected. Not just one layer or two layers, this multi-layer TPU shock absorbing case passed a 20ft heightened drop test successfully. If anything happened to your case accidentally (like hitting a meteor or something) the manufacturer gives a one-year warranty to the user. The disappointing thing is, this case weighs about 6.4 ounces and it will add considerable bulk to your phone. But when considering the given advantages that fact can be ignored. The other sad thing is the removing of the case. Since the case fits too tight it will be difficult to remove the case from the phone. I bet this is the best protective case that you’ll ever see for OnePlus 6. The design overdone and I think they should make it more simple.

Pros,

  • Ultra-maximum protection
  • Detachable rotating belt clip
  • Built-in screen protector
  • Military grade drop protection
  • One-year warranty

Cons,

  • Bulky
  • Weighs a bit
  • Harder to remove
  • Screen protector may sometimes bubble up due to the tightness of the case (I doubt that other screen protectors will fit into this)
