    I've the Orzly gel case from this link http://www.androidbeat.com/2014/08/5-best-cases-oneplus-one/

    Great protection front and back and doesn't add too much bulk.

    I bought the Cruzerlite Bugdroid on Amazon, it fits really well and should do a good job at protecting the phone.

    Free shipping on orders above 25 quid on Amazon so just buy some stuff you don't need along with it.

    just put a Belfast post code on the end of your address and it will be free postage.It will take a day or 2 extra to arrive but it hasn't let me down yet.

    Went with the bugdroid aswell, not bad but not sure how much protection it would offer if I dropped the phone.

    Got a tempered glass screen from Orzly though , does a great job and hopefully will protect the screen from any mishaps.

    My phone dropped more than 20% battery in just over 2 hours last night while in standby. Anyone else experiencing this kind of drain? Mediaserver seems to be the problem, whatever that is. Also can't figure out how to upload a screenshot if anyone can help me with that so I can let you all see.
    Cheers

    Did factory reset and seemed to have helped with battery drain. Only dropped 8% last night on 3g. Had xbmc installed and have a feeling that may have been the issue

    quick question for the owners of this great phone, especially ones coming from small screens (iPhone 4 etc.)

    how do you find texting on the device? do you one thumb type or is that a thing of the past given its beastly size?

    also any people out there using a stylus with this device? seems handy to make the most of the screen when using photo edit apps etc

    You can resize and move the keyboard to one side if you want and still use one thumb:

    You should be fine still texting with one hand unless you have midget hands. The swipe text function is also really handy.:D

    Another good reason not to keep it anywhere near your testicles, apart from the radiation :)

    strange, when i was doing the OTA updates the phone got insanely hot.
    I did get a bit worried, I had to do 2 updates in a row so the heat was very intense.

    It did cool down obviously and it hasn't heated up at all under normal operation.

    General consensus seems to be defect and/or bent phone from sitting on it caused the battery to leak. Not exactly an everyday problem. The OPO would be more susceptible to this due to the inbuilt battery though. Less room to move when the phone gets bent.
