The OnePlus 7 Pro is powerful, eye-catching, and incredibly slippery. As much as we love the phone, it’s almost impossible to use the thing without a case of some sort — it’s heavy (relatively speaking) and has glass on the back. This is a brand new phone, so the case selection isn’t complete yet, but here are our top recommendations so far!
Striking hybrid
Ringke Fusion-X
Staff pick
Ringke’s Fusion-X takes the best bits of a clear and rugged case, mashes them into one package, and calls it a day. There’s a dot matrix pattern on the clear portion to prevent an unwanted rainbow effect, lanyard hole, and a raised lip around the pop-up camera to keep it secure at all times.

Nothing like nylon
OnePlus Nylon Bumper Case
OnePlus has always made great first-party cases for its phones, and thankfully, that hasn’t changed with the OnePlus 7 Pro. The company’s Nylon Bumper Case snaps onto the phone with ease and offers great all-around protection in a relatively slim profile. Plus, that nylon texture looks and feels fantastic.

Leather wallet
Foluu Leather Wallet Case
Combing a wallet and case into one package, this option from Foluu offers a lot of functionality on the cheap. As a case, it keeps the OnePlus 7 Pro protected against daily wear and tear for both the front and back. As a wallet, it can store up to three cards and has a pocket for loose cash. Not to mention it also acts as a kickstand for the 7 Pro!

Does the basics
Spigen Rugged Armor
Want a good, reliable case without spending too much? You can’t go wrong with the Spigen Rugged Armor. It’s made with care, provides plenty of coverage for the 7 Pro without bulking it up, and fits like a glove. The back is a little slippery, but it’s still better than going naked.

Uber grippy
Dbrand Grip
The OnePlus 7 Pro is one of the slipperiest phones we’ve ever used, and to combat that, the Dbrand Grip is the perfect solution. The Grip is one of the easiest cases to hold with a super grippy material, slim profile at just 2mm thick, and tactile button covers. Even better, it works great with Dbrand skins.

Clearly great
AINOYA Crystal Clear
The OnePlus 7 Pro is a truly gorgeous phone, especially if you get it in Nebula Blue or Almond. If you want to keep it safe from scratches/cracks without hiding its design, the AINOYA Crystal Clear case is a great pickup. It has precise port/button cutouts, is lightweight and slim, and even offers shock-absorption.

Dual layer goodness
TUDIA Merge
Want great protection but with a different design? Check out the TUDIA Merge. Available in blue, black, gray, and rose gold, the Merge features two distinct layers of a soft TPU and hard hard polycarbonate to keep the OnePlus 7 Pro safe 24/7. There’s also a raised edge over the phone’s screen.

Affordable durability
Osophter Dual Layer Case
If ruggedness is your top priority, Osophter’s case needs to be at the top of your short list. It has a dual-layer design, including a soft TPU on the inside and hard polycarbonate exterior. It provides full 360-degree protection, keeps dust at bay, and even has a built-in heat sink to keep your phone cool as a cucumber.

Super unique
OnePlus Sandstone Protective Case
The OnePlus One got a lot of attention for its unique Sandstone finish, and with the Sandstone Protective Case, you can get that same unique texture for the OnePlus 7 Pro. It’s soft and grippy at the same time, and if you’ve ever felt it before, you’ll know there’s really nothing else quite like it on the market.

Ready for anything
UAG Plasma Series
The OnePlus 7 Pro is a big, slippery beast. If you know that you have a tendency to frequently drop your phones and need something that’ll be able to withstand anything, buy the UAG Plasma Series. It has an armored shell and impact-resistant core for maximum durability, allowing for a MIL-STD rating. We also love the oversized buttons and fether-light design.

Carbon fiber
OnePlus Karbon Protective Case
This is the same case as the Sandstone one we previously mentioned except the back texture is Karbon instead of Sandstone. While not as unique to the OnePlus brand, the Karbon finish does have a very pleasing design with special fibers that offer enhanced shock and temperature protection.

Built-in screen protector
Poetic Full-Body Hybrid
Poetic’s Full-Body Hybrid case is designed to keep your OnePlus 7 Pro safe from all types of danger while also looking as sleek as can be. The back of the case is reinforced with an impact-resistant bumper and around front is a built-in screen protector. This gives you full 360-degree coverage from anything, and for some people, that’s a must-have.

If we had to choose
Above all of the other cases on this list, the Ringke Fusion-X manages to stand out as one of the very best you can buy. While clear cases aren’t for everyone, the hybrid design that’s on display here looks fantastic and provides the OnePlus 7 Pro with great protection from just about everything.
Plus, with a price tag this low, just about anyone can pick it up without their wallet hurting too much.
Now, if you have a few more dollars to spend, it really is worth looking into OnePlus’s official cases. Specifically, we recommend the Sandstone Protective Case and Nylon Bumper Case.
While these two options are on the expensive side of things, they fit the 7 Pro perfectly, have super original designs, and can’t be found for any other phone.
