Buying an Apple iPhone 6s can be tough for people who do not have deep pockets. That’s why a consumer trend in India suggests that most people who end up buying the Apple iPhone 6 or the iPhone 6s put a back cover on the phone.
In a way, they settle for a cheap plastic, rubber, or silicone texture rather than the iPhone’s exotic metal body feel.
So, a company that prides itself on its motto – Never Settle – came up with a genius plan. OnePlus made a solid black Sandstone case for Apple’s iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s.
Apple has also started to see the potential in the phone accessory segment as they recently came out with an iPhone 6s case that may solve battery issues, which is not available in India right now.
What is available is the OnePlus iPhone Case for the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6. OnePlus is known for making android smartphones at a budget price and with exotic materials.
The company’s sandstone back panels on the OnePlus 2 and OnePlus One are very popular among the company’s fanboys and fangirls.
OnePlus says, “If Sandstone were a fictional character, it would probably be Jon Snow – rough, yet charming, and one-of-a-kind (and definitely not dead). Sadly, most people have yet to experience the uniqueness of this texture for themselves.”
We, definitely believe this is true.
Oh and unlike most cases that feature an opening for the Apple logo to flash, OnePlus taunts Apple putting their own logo in its place.
The cover fits perfectly on the iPhone 6s and there are no gaps whatsoever. Plus you can even use the sandstone case as a pumice stone for pedicures.
The case is well-finished and gives exactly the same sandstone feel as one would find on a OnePlus phone.
The OnePlus case has a thickness of 0.2mm and the rough finish on the exterior gives a solid grip. This is a must for the slippery iPhone 6s and iPhone 6.
Overall, the cover provides ample protection to the iPhone and is beautiful, elegant and posh to look at.
The company does not offer a sandstone finish on their latest phone, the OnePlus X. But buying the OnePlus iPhone case gets you a free invite to buy the OnePlus X.
Apple iPhone 6s and iPhone 6 cases can cost anywhere from Rs 300 to Rs 10,000. The OnePlus iPhone case is priced at Rs 1,199 which is a sweet deal. So if you do happen to have an iPhone 6s or iPhone 6, we say this is the cover to buy. Never settle for those cheap aftermarket ones.
