Do you have a OnePlus 6 in need of serious protection?
Then you need one of these case’s coming up after my intro.
Welcome I’m Tech Zilla and in today’s video we will be looking at 2 cases from tech
21 for your OnePlus 6, The Evoshell and the EvoFlip.
Both have a drop protection rating of 6.6ft or 2m and both contain Bulletshield technology.
Let’s take a look at the Evoshell first, it costs £24.99 and is only available in
this semi opaque translucent colour, it is ultra-thin at just 1.2mm thick so you will
forget that’s it’s on your oneplus 6 and don’t worry it has anit-yellowing tech so
it will resist UV damage for longer.
The texture on the back feels great and adds that much missed grip to the glass back of
your precious OnePlus 6 and it is made of a hard polycarbonate, the cut-out on the back
nicely frames the camera, flash and fingerprint sensor and provides just enough depth to prevent
your camera being damaged when placed on a desk.
The bulletshield technology is built into the frame of the case giving it a ribbed texture
and even more grip, At the top we have a microphone cut-out, on the right we have another cut-out
out for the alert slider, below that is a very tactile power button.
Moving to the bottom of the case we have perfectly aligned cut-outs for the headphone jack, microphone,
charging port and speaker and finally on the left the volume rocker which again feels very
responsive.
The front of the case provides a mm or 2 of lip protection and yes it does work with OnePlus’s
official glass screen protector.
Time to take a look at the Evoflip now, the back of this case is exactly the same as the
Evoshell but instead this time it is in a grey colour, and just like the Evoshell the
inside is a smooth hard polycarbonate with the ribbed pattern of the frame being present
on the inside and outside of the case.
The port cut-outs are identical too so what’s the difference?
Well this case is £29.99 plus it only comes in this black/grey colour combo and it has
a translucent flip cover built into this one.
The flap on the front has the same pattern etched into it as the Evoshell has on its
rear, there is a cut-out for the earpiece as well but you can’t swipe on the screen
without opening the cover which is a missed opportunity, however you can see the screen
through the front cover which is nice for checking the time or if you have any notifications.
The front flap does not offer any wake or sleep functionality and there is no magnet
built in to keep it closed which is a pity, another missed opportunity.
It does work with OnePlus’s official glass screen protector and there is only a minimal
sliding movement against the screen.
It is secured to the back of the case with a nice durable textured material which feels
like it is water resistant and adds a nice touch of grip when holding your OnePlus 6.
Because of the material, the back of the Evoflip gives the camera a mm or 2 more protection
than the evoshell and takes the case up to 3mm in thickness.
The inside of the fabric has a nice grey microfiber lining and it allows you to stand your phone
horizontally giving you hands free video watching in all its glorious convenience.
So, would I recommend these cases to anyone with a OnePlus 6?
The answer is definitely Yes, I personally prefer the Evoshell only because I’m not
much of a flip type guy but that’s just me.
