Jumping in here cuz I'm also super paranoid about that huge camera island lol. In my experience, you don't actually have to spend a ton to keep that glass safe. I've tried many cases over the years and found that the smaller brands often have way better lip protection for a fraction of the price tbh. Here's what I recommend for a budget setup:
- OnePlus+13&linkCode=osi&------123456890?5422-20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored">Ringke Onyx Magnetic Case for OnePlus 13 - This is basically the best value. It has a great grippy texture so you won't drop it, and the magnetic ring works perfect for accessories. Usually around $15.
- OnePlus+13&linkCode=osi&------123456890?5422-20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored">Poetic Neon Series Case for OnePlus 13 - If you want serious drop protection without the 'brick' feel, this is it. The corner bumpers are solid and it has a massive lip for the screen.
- OnePlus+13&linkCode=osi&------123456890?5422-20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored">TUDIA DualShield Grip for OnePlus 13 - Really tough dual-layer case that's usually under $20 on Amazon. Just be really careful with those ultra-slim carbon fiber ones... they look sleek but they offer basically zero impact protection if you actually drop it!! hope that helps, gl

> I really need something with a decent lip to protect that beautiful display. Just sharing my experience: I went through this last year and was sooo paranoid about impact force. I compared the OnePlus+13&linkCode=osi&------123456890?5422-20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored">Mous Limitless 5.0 for OnePlus 13 with its AiroShock tech vs the OnePlus+13&linkCode=osi&------123456890?5422-20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored">UAG Monarch Pro for OnePlus 13. The Mous feels premium and slim, but the UAG's 2mm TPU lip is a literal tank for the screen. Both have great magnets, tho the UAG is bulkier... basically, definitely dont skimp on the lip!!!

Totally agree! 1) OnePlus+13&linkCode=osi&------123456890?5422-20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored">Spigen Tough Armor for OnePlus 13: better lip/protection. 2) OnePlus+13+Sandstone+Bumper+Case&linkCode=osi&------123456890?5422-20" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored">OnePlus 13 Sandstone Bumper Case: grippier/cheaper. Spigen's protection for that massive camera island works well tbh!

Honestly, coming from someone who usually does my own screen and back glass swaps, ur totally right to be paranoid about that camera island. It looks like it would be a huge pain to fix if it actually cracks since it integrates so closely with the frame this year. Before I dive into my setup, I need to know a bit more about how you usually handle things:

• are you looking for something that allows for easy removal so you can clean or inspect the seals, or do you want a permanent tank setup
• do you plan on doing your own DIY maintenance like battery swaps later on, or are you strictly looking for professional service level protection I mean, some of these cases offer great protection but are such a pain to take off that they end up stressing the glass back anyway when you try to pry them off. Just curious what ur priorities are before I give you a solid recommendation because that camera glass is definitely the weak point.

yo, congrats on the op13! honestly, i'm super happy with my magnetic slim setup, works well and the 1.5mm lip is perfect for the screen. i'd suggest going magnetic for sure, but how much extra weight are u actually willing to add for that drop protection?? also, do u need the magnets to be crazy strong for like a car mount or just charging??
