Hello everyone.
I was sent this case over from artech21 for a material review and general overview of the case. Since the phone is not out yet I cant do a full review but i can tell you what i thought of the materials and how I feel its built.
So lets start off like this. if you have ever had a artech21 Vivid Arkansas series case before for a previous phone then its very similar but at the same time they have made some changes to it for the better . For me i had the dark blue and gold version for my Note 5. I loved this case but the second layer didn't really stay on the side well enough for my liking because it had to be placed under the tpu material on the sides to hole it down.
Well on this case they have fixed that. Now the side rest right against the tpu vs under the tpu. The secondary shell/hard plastic also clips in to place a lot nicer than my note 5 version did. With the case put together its flexible of course but ridged enough to feel good in the hand with out a phone in it. I feel once i get a phone in this case it will fell very good and offer up a far bit of protection. From the photos you can see that they kept there nice and discrete labeling.
Hope this overview helps.

No matter how protective case is, it should still look appealing. IMO this one doesn't even come close to something I would put on my phone, even if they gave me a 100% guarantee that it would protect my phone.

It's fair to not like how the case looks, but its not like you represent the majority of humanity haha. It's not really my cup of tea either, but so what?

lol, "military grade" is just a new trendy term. I read a long ass article about how there's a million criteria to certify something as "military grade" and any manufacturer can brand their products as "military grade". That's not to say they're bad cases by any means, just that that is probably the most misleading and overused term of 2016. From cars to now cell-phone cases. It's not like an otterbox can be used to replace a ceramic plate in a pinch like they make that **** sound

100% in agreement with you there. I was just stating that "military grade" is the most misleading term in product advertisement today

The sales link has been removed from your OP. Artech 21 is actively recruiting XDA members to spam and sell on their behalf. This will not be tolerated.
Thanks for understanding.
The three cases that have caught my attention..
1. Official OnePlus nylon bumper case.
2. Rhinoshield solidsuit
3. Tech 21 case
Obviously for overall protection the most important how it looks and feels in the hand. Recommendations & opinions welcome thank you

I have the Rhinoshield and like it. Mine is the carbon fibre, and it has at least a little grip. I can't comment on the other one. The only issue that I have with it is that occasionally when I put it in my pocket it slides the alert slider up to silent or vibrate.
No major drops, but the case has protected the phone from the few small drops it has taken. Most out of my shirt pocket when I've bent down to pick something up.
Do you have any issues with the case being alittle loose or tight fit? Are you using a TGSP.? If so which one?
Thanks
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk
I have the Rhinoshield case also. I have dropped it a few times and the phone has survived without any marks or scuffs. I dropped it about 1m onto a concrete floor and the phone was fine. The case has a few marks from wear and tear but it's done what it was designed for and protected the phone. I would say the case had a very tight fit. It's to the extent that it is difficult to remove the phone from the case when I want to clean the phone for example. I am using a TGSP with, but mine is not all the way to the edges of the phone so works without issue with the Rhinoshield case.
Tech 21 -
I was using it for probably about a week before I switched back to the factory provided one. The feeling is like holding a brick but you get grip. Which is lovely and all but the major loss of using the Tech21 is the slider use. I use my slider on a day to day basis. The Tech21 causes the bulge to be just to spacious to slide it up or down with ease.
Thanks for the replies yall. Last question guys, please someone just give me straight answer on the screen protector there is no solid answer anywhere.
Puregear, official OnePlus or one of the many Amazon brands like I'm omotion? Thanks

Leaning toward Blue tech 21 and the official Karbon fiber bumper case..
Tmobile has Blue tech 21 for
$19.97 & Black $39.99
Good deal on the Official oneplus 6t Karbon Bumper $19.97.
Best answer on TGSP compadable with both cases. Thanks

I used the omoton TGSP with my Rhinoshield case. No issues at all.... Well, except for the dust that seems to collect between the small gap around the edge between the side of case and the screen protector.

oh yes...so much dust between the small gap,i really hate that
i tried 5 differents cases, the best one imao, Tudia Merge Case. i also love the official OnePlus provided with the fphone, but i don't like transparent colour. Official one has the better grip when you have it in your hand
only concern like we said..the dust gathering in the small gap around the edge. Unfortunately, 100% covering TGSP seems to not be so compatible with all cases i own.
i tried the Omoton, i also purchased the spigen TGSP, i'll try if it fit with the Spigen Tough Armor or other cases

I've also ordered the nillkin CP+Pro tempered glass.
Have been using their tempered glasses for years. They are the best.
Can you also share images from bottom and top of the cover with phone?? And how much thickness does this cover add to the phone?
Also does it create issues in heat dissipation?
Thanks

Including the 0.3mm raised lip around the phones screen, this case adds a total of 2.5mm of thickness and 3mm of width to the phone.
Measuring with my digital calipers, the phone without a case is 9.5mm thick and 78mm wide (not including the slight camera bump or the phones buttons). With the case on it measured 12mm thick and 81mm wide.
Heat dissipation is still excellent. I haven't noticed any change at all in temperatures.

Thanks for the reply, I guess you indulge in DIY projects (measuring the dimensions using digital calipers :laugh
Do you play games on this phone? Do you observe noticeable increase in temp with the cover placed?

Lol yup lots of DIY and 3D Printing stuff.
I play lots of games on it via emulators, and some native gaming with PUBG and the new COD Mobile. No noticable temp increases.

Since the fact that ROG 2 is heavy enough, other cases as you suggested may increase the case weight to some extent. From designer perspective, it's OK to achieve; but from user perspective, it's not suggested although it can satisfy some kind of requirements.
Thanks for making it real
Hi,
Thanks for making it real; I was so exited for this design for our ROG2. Only request is if you guys could manage this product in India. that would be really amazing.

You have raised edges to protect display if that phone fall, but what about protection of back edges? How to protect back of your phone, there are no raised edges are they

Full protection is the core point we care. The raised edges are higher than the screen and back, so they can provide protection for both the screen and the back in case of drop. In addition, we offer a back skin to prevent daily friction against the back.
Oh man if you DO make a case with the back on it that would be so awesome, I'd buy it in a heartbeat... but I guess I'll try the bumper case too...maybe with a skin or something to protect against scratches
And how about that early reviewers stuff... do any of us get a free one for testing?
Anyone seen one they can point me at? I'm not cost sensitive, so the higher the quality, the better.

Any wallet cases people have seen, so the outer screen has a cover. Like an S_View from Samsung?
Not yet, been looking regularly. Belroy posted a teaser for their case; it's not a wallet and will be the same style as the official case. I'm also looking for a wallet and I'll definitely post here if I see something that may be of interest.
I had a series of Stilgut cases, the ones with a clip to keep the cover closed. They don't have one for the Fold yet and, I guess, depending on sales of the Fold, they may or may not. They've always lagged behind a release though.
