What are the best protective cases for OnePlus 12?

Question

Honestly, I am so fed up with my Pixel 6—the battery life is abysmal and it overheats if I even look at the camera app for five minutes. Ready to jump ship to the OnePlus 12, but I need to make sure I don't ruin it immediately. I checked out the official OnePlus Aramid case and some Spigen stuff on Amazon, but the reviews are all over the place regarding drop protection vs. bulk.

I need something that:

Isn't a total brick (the phone is big enough already)

Actually protects the camera bump

Is under $40 ideally

Really just want decent grip and solid corner protection. Does anyone have a case that actually stays on tight? Oh, and it needs to be wireless charging friendly too...

I dropped my phone on concrete last month and the Ringke Fusion-X OnePlus 12 saved it perfectly. It has a rugged bumper design that isn't too bulky and creates a solid lip around the camera. It costs around $16.

I feel you on the Pixel struggle, jumping to the OP12 is a huge upgrade. For your criteria, skip the official one and look at these two instead:

Spigen Tough Armor OnePlus 12 provides the best drop protection for the money without feeling like a total brick, plus it has a kickstand.

Poetic Guardian OnePlus 12 gives you full coverage including a built-in screen protector, though it adds a tiny bit more bulk than the Spigen. Both support wireless charging perfectly and have a raised lip to keep that massive camera bump from hitting surfaces. Tbh the Spigen fits way tighter than most cheap cases on Amazon so just go with that if you want something reliable that wont slip off...
