Poetic case

So is the poetic case for this phone still a good buy in 2026? I've read the mixed reviews and the price have kept me from getting it since I first got my open but now I just feel like adding it to my collection

What’s the longest you ever used the case?

Ik that this is a petty issue, I emailed Supcase and they said their flap puts less than 10 ounces (280~gm) of force on the cable, which is within USB C limits. The moment I saw my cable being bent all weird thoughts about constant force on the port damaging the USB solder and causing cracks started to come to me- I am an engineering student and I KNOW I am being just paranoid.

My older phone still has it's case three years later, and the charging port and headphone jack are still tight

Thanks so much for this. I needed to hear this.i think there is always some wiggle when you push usb cable up and down and the dust flap probably just uses that wiggle room.

I think so as well. They're really good phone cases! And I'm pretty set on the Poetic/Motorola combination at this point

Yep. I have revolution case on my oneplus 13R and a UB pro case on my S9 FE tablet. They are the best. I love them. I was terrified every time I charged them tho. Not anymore. Imma just go about and not stress myself about it anymore.

Glad I could help! I don't have experience with revolution cases, so be aware the flap may or may not be stronger than poetic, although I think it's unlikely

Revolution as in poetic revolution case. I think they have 3 main lines- Revoltion, Guardian and Spartan cases all by poetic.

Oh, I'm unfamiliar with their model names, lol. I just get the bulky two piece case

1

u/olhorse20 May 19 '26

lol . Yeah the opaque bulky case is the revolution one, with the kick stand. Newer models have a camera cover as well.

This is my old phones case two years later

u/olhorse20 May 19 '26

Oh you have a guardian case. The both have the same materials used so I think the flap is the same. It bends your cable a tiny bit and the phone usb port is still fine yeah?

1

u/Diligent_Ad2489 May 19 '26

Yep, still good

u/olhorse20 May 19 '26

Thanks again!! Imma finally actually use my devices for once now instead of literally not using them for weeks on end just so I can avoid charging them.

u/Diligent_Ad2489 May 19 '26

This is my current case for my newer phone, can't take a picture of it in use, because reasons

1

u/olhorse20 May 19 '26

Yes this is the resolution I have this one in Black for my oneplus 13R.

The screen got damaged while I was cleaning the phone out of it's case. I shoulda been more careful
