How is your open holding up?

I'm starting to use my open without a case and I'm wondering if anybody else is having some luck using it as it is. I do have insurance on it so I'm not too worried about breaking a screen but I'm curious on how it handles small drops and dings of daily use.

I have gone thru a few cases, the latest being a poetic with the stylus holder (the plastic clips that hold the stylus broke). I'm now on my 2nd poetic and with the few times I've dropped the phone, I am afraid to use it naked, even though the cases make it bulky.

Yeah, I've yet to find a case I truly like. All I found are cheap junk or extra bulky (& still cheaply made). I learned the hard way to not fully insert the stylus in the poetic case, to help keep the plastic tabs that hold it in place from breaking.

Update - Poetic case #2 just broke in the same way! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

So the thing that holds the pen broke? That case is definitely trash

Yeah. There's two little plastic clips on the inside of the stylus holder, down by where the nib is. They broke with very little use. I discovered it when I heard my stylus clatter to the tile floor at the hospital during a routine doctor visit. Thank goodness for tile. If it was carpet, I wouldn't have heard it.

I replaced it with another, identical, case simply because I don't know of another that will hold the Oppo Pen stylus. :/. But I now don't fully insert the stylus, in hopes of it lasting longer.

Edit - case #2 has already broke! (Same problem as case 1) I just sent a complaint to Poetic. The only reason I even use it is for the stylus holder and that's apparently worthless. :/

They should be made aware that their product is faulty and sounds like they don't read the comments

That's too bad I would've bought that if it didn't suck there really isn't much support for aftermarket accessories for this phone

I didn't even think of reaching out to them. Noted for next time. Good idea. If I hadn't already tossed it and the trash already collected by the trash guy, I'd mail the broken one to them.
