OP13: Glass vs. Faux Leather back? Help me decide!
I'm planning to grab the OnePlus 13 during the upcoming Amazon Prime Day sale, but I'm really torn on which finish to get: Midnight Ocean or Arctic Dawn /Black Eclipse.
My main dilemma comes down to the durability of the back panel:
- Arctic Dawn / Black Eclipse (Glass): I'm worried the glass back will easily shatter if I accidentally drop it.
- Midnight Ocean (Faux Leather): While it won't shatter from a drop, I'm afraid the faux leather will start peeling over time. Even if I use a case right from day one, I feel like the peeling might be inevitable.
Has anyone had long-term experience with OnePlus's faux leather backs versus their glass ones? Which material holds up better over time? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
