Hello,
I have been with OnePlus since nearly the first month that they launched and have had the OnePlus 1, OnePlus 3, OnePlus 5, and OnePlus 6T and never has the company let me down. I have even switched my entire family over to these phones and recommended these to countless friends and people online. Yes, I am a OnePlus fanboy and also have a #NeverSettle bumper sticker for my car. The OnePlus 6T changed my opinion with this company. I have always bought these phones on the first day of their release, and this phone was no different. I walked into T-Moble and traded in my famous OnePlus 1 (that I paid 300$ for when it launched and still worked today) and traded it for 300$ of credits. I was highly satisfied and have been with the new phone. This is the best phone OnePlus has ever made in terms of pretty much everything.
This all changed when I went home and looked online and realized that there was no OtterBox or tempered glass available on the day of release which I found off as all of the previous phones have had these available. I thought to myself that surely they would be in stock soon. I even called that day and they said that they would be available soon for purchase as they usually are with all other phone releases. It has now been a week since launch, and they are still nowhere to be found. I called OnePlus just now and spoke with a representative who then talked to her manager who both did not know if or when these would be available. I then called OtterBox and talked to a manager who confirmed with me that phone manufacturers need to contact them and ask them to make a case for their phone which usually is done a month or more before phone launch. He confirmed with his even higher level manager that there have been NO REQUESTS to OtterBox from OnePlus to make a phone case for the OnePlus 6T.
I honestly feel like OnePlus entirely cast the customer by the wayside as an OtterBox and tempered glass are pretty much a necessity if you plan not to break the phone. What happened to #NeverSettle? I feel like OnePlus settled on this one and is banking on customers breaking their devices and paying for repairs or forcing them to buy insurance on the phone.
I honestly hope that a OnePlus mod sees this and can speak to someone to make this right for all customers.
Wow, just wow..... SMH
I've never put an otter box on my phone...
This is my first OnePlus phone... Came from a Pixel 2.
I was ecstatic finding out they included a case and a screen protector (even though it wasn't tempered glass). Usually I end up buying those at the store and ending up picking up the ones I really wanted later online.
I hope OnePlus reads this because I want to let them know I [emoji3531] my phone.

They're not absolutely needed. I've never used an OtterBox, or a tempered glass screen protector. I've used tpu cases on every phone I've had since the Droid Eris and have never broke a phone. And I've dropped them all dozens of times. Some people are to paranoid nowadays.
You're acting like the Otterbox products are the only products that can provide protection to the 6T.

You ok Clownfish? lol That was an awful lot of typing for a case type which has been much copied and if you ask me, done better by others. However that may be it appears you're having a bad day, hang in there man. **** passes eventually.
If everyone here does not use the OtterBox or genuine OnePlus Tempered Glass, what ones do you use?

If you bought it at tmobile you should have bought the tempered glass screen protectors there they have them cases as well
The otter box isn't a big deal to me, this has been hit or miss for many of the OnePlus devices. Really with OnePlus short release cycle and comparatively low sales to other brands many of the "brand name" case manufacturers aren't going to touch OnePlus devices. We're lucky we get any cases or accessories.
The tempered glass part though, I think is a legitimate gripe. On my 5T the only good screen protector is the one made by OnePlus. I've order at least 10 different brands so far and gave up and went back to the OnePlus one. The only one that was close in quality for me was the Nilkin brand, but I thought it scratched much easier.
So yeah, "NeverSettle" I still haven't order a 6T, because I'm waiting to see if there is any real development for it. The 6 never got official Lineage support. The 6T has several strikes against it already because of the hardware, no headphone jack, notch, glass back, etc...
>Bought underrated or cheap (compared to it's rivals) phone
>rant about how customer support are bad and your fav accessories are not there
are you implying that oneplus should satisfy only you?
also, you called them, they even had their manager on your case, trying to entertain and satisfy your needs.
Now then if that's not a good customer support i don't know what will make good customer support for you.
True they said they did not know if or when these would be available, but do you prefer them to tell you lies "ah yes we will have those in a month or two" and one year later there wouldn't be any news about it? If i am you, i would be very thankful for the fact that my call even get answered, and when the representative can't answer my question, he/she tried to get his/her manager instead. That shows how much they tried to satisfy and care about you, even if in the end you still didn't satisfied.
just so you know, that brand casing hardly appear in my country market, heck i didn't even remember it exist until i saw your rant here.
The best casing i've ever used in my life is Oneplus One Poetic Revolution casing, which by using it, i wont even hesitate to use my phone as throwing weapon or even drop it from up to 3rd floor.
no offense but you sound like a kid throwing tantrums because he didn't get his fav, usual candy. . .
I appreciate the fact that you are and have been one of the people who has made One Plus successful by supporting the brand, sharing it with others, and ultimately being the kind of user (like myself when i find something good in Android) that helps the company to succeed. I am sure that without users who promote, as you have, the 6t never would have hit my hands. Also, the community members that finally pushed OP to obtain Vzw certification brought many of us to this device.
All of that being said, this is my first One Plus device. While I was glad to be able to order the Karbon protective case for the phone with my phone from OP directly, i appreciate that they preinstall a screen protector. I also am waiting on the official TGSP to be available anxiously. In the meantime, I spent $30 on a Skinomi and a Spigen [Air....whatever] case that will be here next week to help defray the chance of a break. I am rather accident prone when it comes to drops, etc, but so far [knocks on wood] I haven't had any drops. So i have to be uber careful for a bit.
Previously, I have used Motorola (almost exclusively until after the MXPE, and ZTE androids. One Plus gives you more than either does in terms of options. It is worthwhile for them to make their biggest fans happy, but do you think, considering the fact that this is their first device with an in-screen fingerprint sensor, that maybe for the first month or so, we should be patient? I could understand if it had been 2-3 months, but we have yet to crest 2 weeks. They clearly want their products to be right from the start, and as I am sure they could attest, their testing is thorough.
You would be even more upset if they had pooped one out that didn't work with the new sensor or, even worse, allowed the screen to break in a modest drop. I realize some of the comments in this thread are harsh, but honestly man, any other OEM would not have this at all. Samsung makes zero TGSP. Apple makes zero TGSP. You see my point. I am glad to finally be able to use OP as Tmob sucks where i live, and if I have to use my typical protection (spigen+skinomi) for a couple of weeks, i am sure it will work out. This is the best phone I have had in a very long time.

Any tempered glass will work on the screen with the in-screen fingerprint sensor. I had a few extra tempered glass screen protectors lieing around for the old OnePlus 5 and I put one on just to try it. They all worked fine there is nothing special needed.
I stopped using otter boxes because :
1- they're too expensive
2- they're too hard to get on and off
3- the buttons are ridiculously hard to press on every otterbox I've ever owned
4- I've had great protection and use with less expensive, better looking cases
If you want to rant, rant about the important things - The headphone jack.

I honestly feel you and was feeling the same when I purchased a 6T.
Gad that someone else felt weird about this too that Onelus DOES NOT have AN OFFICIAL TEMPERED GLASS available for 6T.
it had for 6 and I'm using it. It is great.
But surprisingly it is NOT available for 6T because of in-screen fingerprint scanner which I do not even use.
They SHOULD HAVE released it.
I can see the CHEAP companies making ridiculous tempered glasses already for the 6T with NOT SO CHEAP prices.
and oneplus did not make official tempered glass for the FEAR of their in-screen fingerprint not working.
bw for cases, buy the Nylon official case. It is as good as Otterbox.
But certainly it is a BAD MISS from Oneplus side to not CONTACT the Accessories companies for first party accessory.
BAD STRATEGY

to all the people ranting about the OP making a false cry,
you have never used official Oneplus accessories it seems.
I have used Official oneplus 6 tempered glass and It HAS BEEN THE BEST TG that I've ever used on any phone.
I was a fan of NILLKIN for the smoothness of their TG.
You bet, only a few know the company
I was expecting an official TG from Oneplus.
thank god they have the nylon case and the sandstone back cover too.

absolutely agree with you.
Oneplus TG is the best. nillkin comes second.
and yes, OS is STILL not available for Oneplus.
plus, I think till the time LOS ports Oneplus gesture navigation properly, I will not use it ever.
Oxygen OS is better than LOS for sure (if not stock android)
and navigation gestures is A HUGE WIN for Oneplus.
I see Oxygen OS ROMs being ported to other devices such as whyred.
smoothness of Oxygen OS and again, navigation gestures is awesome.
I was a BIG ROM flashing junkie and regularly play with all my other devices with custom ROMs but had to return on Oxygen OS on Onelus 6 because of just how good Oxygen OS is.
I wish my other xiaomi phones get oxygen OS port too.
Official tempered glass is on the way. It's been stated it'll be up in the site before Thanksgiving

As a past poster said. I'm surprised you weren't offered a glass screen protector when you bought your 6T from T-Mobile, I was, I also purchased a Official OnePlus case from T-Mobile. Ultimately I decided not to use that case, even though it cost $30.00, I went with a Zizo case. I highly recommend these cases, and have used them for years now, first on all of my ZTE phones, then on my 5T and now on my 6T. If you want an attractive and rugged case I would go with Zizo's Bolt series of cases, but they have about 5 different series of cases so go with one you like. Bottom line is there are better cases out there then just Otterbox, give them a try.

ZAGG 50% Off On InvisibleSheild Products!
I used one of this company's body protectors on my Duo, the thing was amazing. I know the description is kinda lame, but the protection kicks ass. Was hard to put on the curved parts of my phone's body (like all of these protectors are), but the screen protector is as easy to apply as any I've seen, and once you get it all on, it stays.
Ebay link for full body protection
Ebay link for screen protector only
Note: This isn't my auction, I was just browsing and saw that they had these available already.
Let me know how it fits your G1. I'm interested to know how they did it with the phone not out yet. Even the Invisible Shield guys (the "pioneers" of this kind of protector) are delaying til someone volunteers them a G1 for measurement after the release date.

What he said.... plus will the keyboard still slide? can we get to the reset button (if there is one)? does it come off easy or will it be a 2 hr process if we want to pull the SIM card?
Most of these full-body protectors come in several pieces that cover the whole phone, but still allow slides, buttons, etc. to work just fine.
My problem (and the reason I'm going with the invisible shield at zagg.com) is that some of these companies don't really cover the whole phone or even bother with the corners. Invisible shield covers everything.
And they're good for one use (but rock solid). They can be removed, but not generally repositioned since after they dry the first time, removing them stretches them out of shape.

That's how this one was for my Duo, and as for covering the whole phone it did that well. As for trying it on my G1, I don't have a G1 so that'd be quite difficult.

I know, man. That's one reason I trust the zagg people more...because they're actually waiting til the phone is released so they can get measurements. The get a lucky(?) volunteer to ship the phone to them and they custom-make the shield, install it, and ship it back, all for free. Then they have the measurements and can sell them to everybody. I'm a little wary of guys who claim to have a TBS before the phone is out.
I looked at "clear coat" I think. Some of their iPhone/touch/wtf ever protectors didn't even make it to the corners of the device. But the Invisible Shield brand covered everything but the ports. That's kinda what I'm looking at...but I'd be more than willing to pay less for something identical.

Haha, that always pissed me off that they made a customer send theirs in. Really, buy the ****ing phone and return it a day later, it's not hard. As for the G1, they're not hard to get... There are probably 10 on eBay that aren't pre-release, it's just that people don't bother to look.
Yeah, it's the slower process, but it's a guarantee that the shield will be 100% right for the phone. We are talking total-body protector, rather than just screen protector.
And if phones are being gouged on ebay for $600-1000 when there's just a little more than a week before anybody and his brother can get one, I can understand the wait. They sell shields; they're not in the phone-buying business. They've got a decent business model, even if it doesn't suit the impatient.
Edit: Someone on the tmonews forums got the "clear protector" brand from an ebay vendor. It comes in two pieces and doesn't cover the sides or corners.
i ordered one at e-bay and already have it home. im courios how its gonna fit a screen. but best thing is i spend only 0.01$ with free shippingfor it

They must've gotten their volunteer. I know a guy on tmonews was actively courting them for his free shield.
For those looking to pre-order an invisible shield, here's a 20% off coupon code: "xxxxxx" (Code no longer works)
They're selling for just under $20 and this code gives almost a $4 discount.

yeah I ordered mine already... I talked to them on the phone and they told me that if someone was willing to pay for shipping the phone both ways they would probably make them a shield for free and install it so that they can get the measurements early... so if you have a phone and want a shield call them and see what you can work out...
wow, that looks pretty cool. Next paycheck i'm going to order one of those for my G1, my psp slim, and maybe for my Zen.
zagg.com emailed me and said that my shield was mailed... I am impressed... that was really fast.
BodyGuardz vs. IS
interested in what you all think of Invisible shield vs boadyguardz? i keep reading that IS gives more of an orangepeel effect whatever that means lol.
anyone tried them out fo real and not just looked at them?
It's been reported that the Invisible Shield guys (zagg.com) are giving a 40% discount on Halloween day if you order with the discount code "scary40".

I ordered the Bodygaurdz after reading a review of the two
the orangepeel effect is supposed to be seen as a negative thing making the screen harder to see, like a type of haze. The bodygaurdz is supposed to be tougher than the IS and shouldn't tear/scratch as easy. Also reviewed as more invisible/transparent too. I should receive it in a couple days and will post some photos before and after and let you know my real thoughts about it.
I like that you get 2 full body protectors for $24 and the shipping was free from bodygaurdz direct website.

my shield got here last night and I put it on and it looks really nice... I wish the front part had been one piece but I guess it works the way it is. With it on the screen actually feels more responsive and easier esp when scrolling.
There is a place by my house that sells IS and puts it on for you. The owner stopped by my store and gave me a card to get one for free. So I hit them up today and got it put on. So far its not bad but there are some rough edges. They told me it would smooth out in a few days after its "Cured". They also said not to put it in your pocket for 2 days. I will report back in a few days to see how it goes.
Where do you live? I am thinking of taking my off because I messed up and having someone else do it for me. Sadly while I was doing it the door bell rang and I had to answer it... well needless to say I had to reapply the screen piece again and now it is kinda funky... Other than that it is good I am just hoping the screen cures.
I just spoke to some folks at Seidio today and they notified me that their system has a note that the Tilt 2 for AT&T will never be produced as per their Product Management team.
This is an incredible let-down for myself, and I find it hard to believe that they can't just modify the case currently for the HTC Touch Pro 2 to allow for the PTT key, and sell everyone that case regardless of your service provider.
Anyways, if anyone but myself was waiting on this case,I guess we need to find something else which is a shame.
I was waiting for this case also. I emailed them weeks ago and the return email was on the line that they are in the process of developing products for the tilt 2. So yes, this news is disappointing.
My suggestion, don't spend the extra money for a half-baked case. There are PLENTY of alternatives out there on ebay. I have one and it's wonderful and cost about 1/10 of what any of these "upscale" brands charges.
Sorry, forum was messed up.
Yes, I purchased one of those and it did not come close to fitting my Tilt 2.
For those of us with a Dremel and too much time on our hands, is it possible to mod the Seidio case to a near OEM look. Seems like taking about 3/8 of an inch off the PTT side would be golden. Opinions?
I'm not personally interested in having to pay so much money to "make do".
What I've personally decided to try is the Seidio holster that works with out phone, and a GadgetShieldz full body protection. I was actually really impressed with how this phone looked and didn't want to hide it, so this might be a good compromise.
I use a hard case I found on ebay for about $9. It works wonders, combined with a holster side pouch I bought on the street in NYC for $5. Total $14.
MUCH less than anything Seidio wants to charge.
Just had live chat with Seidio and this is the result.
Angela: hello
Customer74: hello
Customer74: Will you be making the innocase for the tilt 2?
Angela: Yes, we will be, but we don't have an exact ETA yet.
Customer74: Thank you.
Angela: You're very welcome. Is there anything else I can assist you with?
Customer74: Not at this time, thank you.
I had a long chat with them within a day of the original post and they emphatically stated that they were not making it. Who knows....
methinks they're messing with you.
I spoke with them on the phone today (as apposed to the chat like last time) and they again told me that it was not going to be released. I was unable to get any more details.
By the time they get around to making it, it will be like wanting to buy a case for the original tilt - there will be another phone out all off us are moving to =P
I am afraid you are right.

I just applied the GadgetShield a few hours ago and it's already looking great!
Going to wait until tomorrow to try placing it into the case - after feeling the new rubbery skin of the phone (which looks great) I'm not sure it will work together.
When I talked to them in early Dec, they told me at the end of Dec. :-(
Is it possible to use the Touch Pro II case and let it just cover up the other button?
I saw the post regarding modification, just wondering if its possible to ignore the button all together.
I had this case for my original tilt and hated it.
Going with a full phone gadget shield and then a slide-leather case.
the bulkiness of the innocase is just too much for me.
Is it just me, or is it weird that this phone is truly a flagship (carried on multiple carriers, amazing specs) and the manufacturers like Seidio, Mugen Power, and the like haven't released ANY accessories? I mean, this is even basically the flagship phone from Google directly...
We've now unlocked the bootloader, which means that ROMs will quickly be available, but this phone is just too thin and slick to NOT have a case of any kind.
The first thing to keep in mind is that although the specs are virtually identical to the N4, the phones external design is completely different. So, one wouldnt fit the other and as such, that point is moot.
Now, i havent done alot of searching, but im also fairly sure that the N4 doesnt have an over abundance of accessories available as of yet, and again, im fairly sure that its probably sold more units than the OG. I checked sites like Seidio.com and they have nothing available for it that i was able to find. The thing is, even phones that dont sell like crazy have alot of accessory options, but they dont usually appear until about a month after the phone is released. It gives accessory manufacturers time to design and make them.
I purchased a One X on launch day about 6 months ago, and i was able to find a case...at AT&T, and a screen protector. However, when i looked on line, i couldnt find many options for it the first few weeks, and now, they are every where. So, i would say be patient, give it time, and you will find that accessories will start appearing from every where. I know Otterbox has a commuter in the works and im guessing many others will too. I for one am hoping Seidio does because i have always loved their cases.

Thanks for the input. I'm hoping what you say is true, and you apparently have the research to back it up. I also wasn't aware that the N4 and LGOG share a different external design... That's good to know.

Yes, the N4 is more curvy, even the screen has curved edges. The LGOG is very....square or rather, rectangle and boxy.

I would have gone with an N4 if it had LTE & a microSD slot.
dont the sprint version and att version have slightly different dimensions anyway? When i went and picked mine up the other day the only OG case they had at best buy didnt fit my phone at all. I wonder if it was specific to the sprint version and didnt say so on the packaging
The build quality on this phone isn't cheap like Samsung. I will never hide this phone using a case

In theory I completely agree with you... In practice however, this phone is just too slippery. I've already almost dropped it more times than I can count. It needs protection.

Yep the glass back is crazy slippery. Want to put some matte screen protector on the back to give some grip. Don't like putting cases and making phones bulky.

This is a fantastic idea. I've been trying to find a thin case because of the back this entire time and never thought about putting a screen protector on there. Have you done this yet? I'm wondering which one I could get that could fit the size of this phone.

I made one by cutting down a generic tablet screen protector, then cut out for speaker and camera.

are you saying the front piece from the Zagg site fits? I was nervous as they specifically list the Sprint variant but nothing specifically for the AT&T.

Best Buy has the Invisible Shield HD from Zagg, and it fits the AT&T variant perfectly. My understanding is that the Zagg site doesn't even list the HD, which is better quality/clarity than the standard protector the site does list.
Well, we may be waiting a bit for cases. I got this from Seidio after asking about cases and such:
"Dear Robert,

Doesn't sound very promising. Hoping to hear from Trident case with something more positive.

I've used Zagg and Skinomi in the past, and IIRC, The Invisible Shield from Zagg would be a bit better.
Will report if/when I get it installed.

Hello everyone,
I wasn't expecting to be writing this so soon if I'm honest. Expected a few more days before I got rang by my wife whilst and work and asked what I'd ordered this time.
So the Orzly Pro-Fit Tempered Glass landed in my hands today (as well as their 5 pack film set, but I'll get to that later) and since we're having issues with the Official OnePlus TGSP it made sense to remove that and get straight into this protector and find out whether it's worth you lot purchasing.
A quick disclaimer I'm writing this after applying the glass and using it for a few hours. I will keep you updated in the comments below over the next week on how it holds up.
So, how does this differ to the Official 3D screen?
- Unlike the official 3D screen, Orzly have opted for adhesive on the sides and the top but not in the middle. This was an issue with their V1 screen last year as the Dot Matrix and Oil slicks were an absolute nightmare, less so with V2. After spending a few hours with this one, I can already tell they've made some significant improvements. It feels more premium than the OP3 screen did, I can't see the dot matrix under my house lighting at all and no oil slicks.
- They have incorporated cut outs for the front facing camera and sensors. The official one just has clear glass over them.
My verdict: Buy this one.
I haven't tested many yet (infact just the official and this) but if the choice is between the two like it was last year, this one wins for me. It doesn't cut into your screen and it seems like it'll work with most cases as the fitting of it is very good.
It's also a TON cheaper than the official one and its a twin pack.
Where can I buy?
As far as I'm aware they sell on the various local Amazon sites. Two of the big ones I use are Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk
Take a look at my video here if you want to see it in more detail:

Great video as usual! Thanks for sharing this! Glad I didn't pay the £18 for the official one after all the bad reports on it, waiting for my orzly one to come now!
I hope I will be able to fit it in this case

@niijonodhg you just saved me $30, thanks! I subscribed to your channel, too
Thanks for this, just confirmed what I was hoping. Another quailty product from Orzly. I still can't fathom why OnePlus made such a terrible screen protector and charged people more for it.

dodged a bullet there, thanks mate :good:
Hmm says won't deliver till July 20th +
Thanks!!! I'll give it a try.
I bought a clear one off amazon before this one was available. It should be here by Friday. If it fits and looks as good as yours, i'll provide a link. If not, I'll buy this one. Thank you for the review!

Be sure to let people know when you try it,. According to what the actual manufacturers are saying about them though, they have written the following...
PLEASE NOTE: The Pro-Fit Glass Screen Protector is designed to work with Orzly Cases for the Oneplus 5. We cannot however guarantee its compatibility with OnePlus 5 cases from other manufacturers
This doesn't mean that it won't fit another case, but it does mean it's risky. So probably a good idea is if anyone on here tries different cases with this screen protector that we let as many people know on here which ones fit with it versus which ones didn't, as that may be our only way to truly guage this. The Orzly screen protector definitely seems like the only tempered glass screen protector that works well with the phone, so whatever I do I'm going to need to base my case around what works with that, so the more info I could get on this, the better. (I'll probably just get one of orzly 's cases anyway at first just to be sure, but would be nice to know what all the options are for later on (if there are any)

I'm planning on making another video, just as soon as a bunch of cases arrive! But if someone else can get to it sooner, then please do!
Thanks a lot for the video. Nice to hear it doesn't cut into the sides of the screen like others. What's your opinion on how deep the fingerprint scanner feels in the cutout?
Seems that Orzly is shipping them from the UK... found a similar one that ships from the united states - https://www.amazon.com/s?keywords=Oneplus+5+Screen+Protector&hidden-keywords=B07378RSWD. I've used amfilm a lot before- never any issues at all.

I've not really noticed it, the cut out is slightly wider than the the fingerprint sensor so leaves a good gap around it.

I had a small issue with the amFilm TGSP for the Nintendo Switch not staying on the Switch properly under heat. But other than that it was reasonably OK.

I've heard that that is from the dock. My son has the Switch and we had that issue. They sent a free replacement that worked for him. Might be worth sending an email.
So Orzly is better because it dont cut the screen like OP official tgsp?
For me i think Oneplus own is better because adhesive on entire visible part, even when it comes about 0.3mm top of sides. I have used Orzly products many years. V2 for OP3T was disappoined mostly thanks to glue on borders only. Screen wont look that clear as with tgsp with full adhesive or without tgsp at all. Also oil slick can come because adhesives only on sides. It depends how greatly you clean your screen.

I purchased a oneplus 6t a few weeks ago and am now looking for a case with a built in magnetic ring. I have a magnetic mount that I really like using and after my last flight I decided I really want something that can prop my phone up. Funny how little things made me change my mind about the screen size and having a kickstand of sorts. Anyways, I've been looking on Amazon and all the cases I see look like clones of each other and the ones that people review on mention how it is flimsy, provides poor protection and the ring breaks after 4 days. Also the text, auto focus and ultimate experience really turn me off on getting the case.
Currently I'm using the case that came with the phone and I put a ailun magnetic keyring in the back but the bump is starting to annoying me when I place the phone down. Any suggestions?

Yes, I also ordered that same one from Nillkin through Giztop last week or so .along with their H+Pro screen protector. Hopefully, it will be worth the wait if it ever gets here that is.I will be sure to post my opinions once I get it.
Hope you guys aren't disappointed when you get them. I was looking at possibly getting them, but noticed the case is for the OP6, not 6T. And if you look at the title/description, it says 6, and later 6T, very inconsistently.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nillkin-Sy...sh=item260afcf8ca:g:io8AAOSw5wFb-KiG&LH_BIN=1
I ordered my case from ebay, has not arrived yet but the seller is trusted. I have purchased all my cases from the same buyer, takes 2 weeks to get in Finland. And this one is for the 6T, not the 6.
The same casemodel for LG G6 was total rubbish, very flimsy and cheap. But if the pictures are right, this one is totally different. I guess it depend from the shape and size of the phone.
Ok, I've had it on for a couple days now. I actually like it. I can see how it may not provide much protection to glass as the edges are pretty even with the glass. I used to have Loopy case and this is pretty similar. The ring on the back appears to be taped on with 3m tape, but pretty sturdy nonetheless. Works on my magnetic mounts as well. For the price, I say it was worth it for now. The oem case went over the glass too much making the edge difficult to access. Gonna stick with this case.
