The best OnePlus 11 cases to spend your money on

The OnePlus 11 is now globally available, bringing upgraded ultrawide and telephoto cameras, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, and a much better software support promise to the masses. You may not notice too many visual differences from the OnePlus 10T, but like its predecessor, you will want to get a case for your new phone. So, which cases are available for the OnePlus 11? Here are the best.

Let’s start with the official protection available from OnePlus itself. The Sandstone case is made to enhance your grip thanks to its granular finish. Its polycarbonate and TPU construction means it only adds 30 grams to the smartphone’s overall weight. If you should ever drop your phone, the case is rated to protect your device from one-meter drops. It’s not the cheapest case available for the OnePlus 11, nor is it the most exciting, but it does feature that OnePlus logo at the back.

The OnePlus Aramid Fiber case is slightly lighter than its Sandstone sibling and packs a more intricate design. Although it too is only available in black, the aramid fiber weaving gives it a carbon fiber-like appearance. OnePlus claims that the case is “tough enough to handle the rough,” and we should hope so, considering its lofty price. Nevertheless, it’s the most svelte case on this list and should make for easier removal from your pocket.

While OnePlus’ official cases are pretty bland, Avesfer’s alternative comes in three colors. Our personal favorite is the bright red option. The case itself features a polyurethane design, has a textured panel top and bottom, and a grippy central section. The case seemingly provides a little more protection than OnePlus’ standard options, but it’s also heavier at nearly 50 grams.

If you’re seeking an affordable but highly rugged case, look no further than this option. The Avesfer Rugged case is available in three colors (Black, Green, and Navy) with a surprisingly attractive criss-cross design. The case is made of high-density TPU and polycarbonate, with a decidedly thick rim to protect the screen and the camera from table scuffs. You won’t like the nearly 50-gram weight the case will add to your phone, nor will you appreciate the added bulk if you wear slim pants. However, it’s a great option if you’re an adventurer (or clumsy user) on a budget.

Armor-X provides an even more utilitarian case for your OnePlus 11. Unlike the other cases on this list, the Armor-X option includes an adaptor that lets you slot your phone into car mounts, bicycle mounts, and more. You will need to buy a third-party mount for these instances, though. It also packs a carabiner, letting you secure your phone to your belt or hiking bag. Moreover, the case also packs a hidden tools compartment where you can store a magnet holder, a toolbox, or SIM card tools. The case is a jack of all trades, but it’s by no means subtle in design, even if it has a clear rear cover.

What’s the point of buying a colorful OnePlus 11 if you aren’t going to show it off? If you purchase the Green colorway option, it’s a good idea to grab a clear case. This option from Foluu combines the advantages of a clear case with rugged case-like bumpers on each corner. It also includes protection around the screen and camera. Clear cases tend to turn yellow over time, but Foluu claims its case shouldn’t have this problem. It’s not the slimmest clear case on the list, weighing 30 grams, but it’s a great option if you tend to drop your device often.

If you don’t need all the trappings of the case above, the Cresee Clear case is a simpler option. It drops the sizeable corner bumpers in favor of a hugging, slim fit. At 32 grams, it’s not the lightest case on the market, but the clear design will allow the OnePlus 11’s design to shine through. It’s easy to fit and remove at will thanks to its flexible design.

Clear cases tend to deteriorate quickly due to the construction materials used, but this case from QUIETIP doesn’t have this problem. In what is arguably the most unique case on this list, it uses a magnetic frame that joins a front and back panel made of tempered glass. This is the only case on this list that doubles as a screen protector. The corners of the case include small shock absorbers that should save it from the dangers of the sidewalk. The only downside? It’s extremely bulky, weighing in at nearly 95 grams.

The most premium case on this list comes from DENSUL. There’s a good reason for the price, though. At just nine grams according to its supplier, it’s the lightest case you can find for the OnePlus 11. Additionally, it’s also shrouded in sheepskin leather, which should make for a wonderfully tactile experience in the hand. Available in five colors, the DENSUL case should make for the best option for discerning case buyers and business users.

Here’s an all-in-one case that’ll protect your device and credit card. Some people love wallet cases for their utility, and the Foluu Flip Folio is no exception. It features a small slot in its screen cover for a card and some cash. The soft faux leather design looks and feels great in the hand, while the TPU backbone will ensure your phone doesn’t split in half when dropped. The case is available in five colors, two of which are vibrant Blue and Rose.
