Reddit reviews TUDIA Slim-Fit CYGEN Dual Layer Protective Case for OnePlus One (Metal Slate)

I have the Tudia CYDGEN case for my OPO, and I love it.

Raised edge around the screen, TPU, extruded buttons, holes for all mics and speakers and stuff. Great case.
I'm using mine with an ORZLY Tempered Glass protector as well.

Screen protectors will most likely give good protection against scratches. However there is no actual proof anywhere on the internet that screen protectors would offer any meaningful protection against drops.

"I dropped my phone and only the screen protector cracked." People tend to use that as a proof that it works. But in reality they can't be sure if the screen would have cracked without the screen protector.

Screen protectors are more fragile than your screen. For example some people have received screen protectors that have already cracked in the mail. The Ozrly tempered glass screen protector that gets mentioned here a lot is only 0.24mm thick. Also it's highly unlikely that the phone is going to fall on the floor and land flat on its face. Screen protectors don't offer any protection to impacts on corners/sides of the phone.

A case like TUDIA Slim-Fit CYGEN Dual Layer Protective Case for OnePlus One will offer more protection against drops. The edges on it are raised above the screen little bit. So get a case to protect your phone against drops. But know that the phone will feel different on your hand due to the texture and increased thickness. Add screen protector for the extra protection against scratches.

Or use the phone naked, without a case or screen protector.

I got this case. Same company, not as bulky, and no kickstand. It still is awesome. I drop my phone all the time, and it hasn't broken at all yet. It has the raised edge along the screen, and rubber corners.

If you want a little more protection I recommend this: http://www.amazon.com/TUDIA-Slim-Fit-CYGEN-Protective-OnePlus/dp/B00NJBVHIG/ref=sr_1_7?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1420785277&sr=1-7&keywords=oneplus Or a little less bulky: http://www.amazon.com/TUDIA-Bumper-Protective-OnePlus-Smartphone/dp/B00LWSRVN8/ref=sr_1_5?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1420785660&sr=1-5&keywords=oneplus+tudia

Well you're in luck because those accessories are only available on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Orzly%C2%AE-Tempered-Protective-Protector-SmartPhone/dp/B00KQKATH8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422019037&sr=8-1&keywords=orzly+oneplus

I ordered a Nillkin tempered glass protector, and a TUDIA slim-fit case (looks like a spigen for my htc one m8)

came out to $25 total

tl;dr: It's great. There's no iTunes. It's huge. There's tons of customization, but only if you want. Gestures are super cool. Better speakers. LTE.

I just switched from an iPhone 4 to the OPO around New Years. I, too, had been an iOS user for many years and found my iPhone couldn't keep up with the world around it. You and I have had very similar experiences, so I hope this helps.

Incoming Wall of Text (I hope it's useful!):

First things first: If you use iMessage, you will have a problem with Apple hijacking your friends' text messages with iMessage. Before you turn off your iPhone, turn off the Use iMessage setting. Apple has released a tool that will deregister your phone number from iMessage, though it took several days for it to actually work for me. But it eventually did, and everything's fine now.

You'll have some other things to get used to, as well. For one, there's no more iTunes. That's been the biggest change for me. For better or worse, I'm pretty brainwashed when it comes to using iTunes. Now I add my music as I would to a folder, though there may be an iTunes-like alternative.

If you want to emulate your iOS experience, you can, but you'll need other apps and software. For instance, iMessage can be pretty well emulated with Airdroid. I didn't have Siri on my iPhone, but I think the 4s did. If you're used to Siri, you'll find that Google Now is similar, but not quite the same.

Next, the phone is huge. It dwarfs the iPhone 4. This was my biggest concern when I ordered the OPO and it took me several days to truly feel comfortable holding it with one hand. The phone itself is pretty friendly to hold. I got a case for mine which has added a bit of heft to it and takes away some of the phone's elegance.

If you haven't used Android before, it may take a little time to get used to. And if you get into custom ROMs it can be a bit overwhelming at first, depending on your level of computer knowledge. It's all very cool, though. If you're a tinkerer, like me, you'll have tons of things you can play with. If you're not, the stock setup is great, too.

Widgets are weird to get used to. They totally messed with what I was used to in the iOS world and they've altered the way I set up my screens. I use a different launcher, called Nova Launcher, that lets you resize the widgets a bit more than the default launcher. I'd recommend it to you if you want to keep your screen looking elegant.

As others have said, gestures are great. Double tap to turn the screen on, two finger swipe down to play or pause music, arrows left and right for previous and next song. You can draw a V on the screen to turn on the flashlight, but I turned it off because I found myself doing it by accident.

As for the phone itself, it's phenomenal. It's very snappy, it sports a 1080p screen, and has much better speakers. Finally, LTE is way better than 3G.

Overall, I'm very happy with the OPO.

Have a look at the Tudia Cygen case. Very protective and quite nice to look at.

it looks good, but im having trouble comparing it with the TUDIA (http://www.amazon.com/TUDIA-Slim-Fit-CYGEN-Protective-OnePlus/dp/B00NJBVHIG/ref=sr_1_7?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1420785277&sr=1-7&keywords=oneplus).

it looks like they both have some good features, but i dunno

I have this TUDIA Slim-Fit Dual Layer Case. I usually get a case for all my phones and this time, I decided I wanted a dual layer case (the theory is, it absorbs impact and distributes the shock). I also have it paired with a Spartan Glass from XtremeGuard. I don't recommend buying from XtremeGuard - not only did it take them forever to send my order out, my order was also missing stuff (one alcohol swab for 2 glass screen protectors, missing squeegee, missing microfiber cloths) - while it's not a huge deal, since I had a bunch of those items laying around anyway, I'm sure it would be a pain in the ass for someone who doesn't.

The case I have also fits over the tempered glass. My tempered glass is 0.4mm thick vs the Orzly (0.24mm) and the Nillkin (0.3mm).

Just to give you an idea of how well this combination works, I dropped it from chest height the very first day I took my phone to work. It was an accident and I totally thought I shattered my screen, or the protector at the very least, but I picked it up and it was unscathed.

awesome hope you enjoy. Check out this case I bought it its pretty nice.

I've been leaning towards this one:

Does anyone know if the polycarbonate outer layer has that semi-grippy matte on it or not? I like the metal slate contrast with the black.

I love the look of this thing, but even though I've never dropped a phone, this thing is large enough that I was scared. So I am sacrificing beauty (and in my case, thinness) for safety. I'm using this case. Quite large and bulky, but I don't have to worry about breaking the phone anymore.

I personally use a Orzly screen protector and this case that I just got last night. I would say a screen protector is hella worth it unless you just can't stand them. The case helps but it's not really needed.

Too bad I ended up dropping my phone and denting the sides a bit right before my case arrived. My screen is fine though.
