Awesome skin... Where did you get your case from?

Have we still got no full on local support for this device? Thinking about getting it but support is a deal breaker.

 

[sand_man]

You can mitigate the risk by 1. Being careful with it and 2. Encasing it in something exceptionally protective like this:

Ooooh, love tech21 cases. Do they ship to SA?

Yeah, they do. I'm using that exact case right now. It looks and feels substantially better than I expected. I really dig it and regret not buying one sooner.

After a friend dropped their OnePlus phone and severely damaged the display, I was spooked into buying a more protective case for my OP6 than the carbon protective case I was previously using. This case has materially improved my peace of mind.

I think all of us here took a YOLO policy.

That's awesome man. Think I'm going to order one. Tech21 is all I used to use on my iPhones but the last time I checked they weren't making covers for OnePlus.

Agreed. the screens a much cheaper via Gearbest but obviously if its the only phone you have, I guess you'd pay up

Nope, I would probably sell it for spares and buy a second hand replacement... R4200 for a 5T screen replacement?!! They nuts!! You could get a 2nd hand one for around R5k...
