Bad news coming from OnePlus. The production of the interchangeable back covers for OnePlus One, called by the cover company 'Style Swap' has been canceled.
Two are the main reasons stated by the company itself. First, OnePlus has encountered production problems in making the covers, starting with the bamboo ones. Second, the company acknowledged that the back cover removal process is too cumbersome, risky for the phone and not recommended to users.
The already produced and certified bamboo covers will also be sold along with detailed instructions to install them without damaging the battery or the phone itself. In addition, the company will market some limited edition Kevlar and denim covers (jeans fabric). OnePlus also apologized to its users for the affair, stating that mistakes made with One will help in the implementation of OnePlus 2.
Here's what OnePlus has said:
"We want to note that our" StyleSwap "covers were an ambitious and innovative concept for us; very few companies offer similar options. We focused heavily on how it would allow users to personalize and customize Ones and Their offer blackberries choice. But now we know that we could have designed the removal process of the back covers better; It's tricky and difficult Makes frequent switches. The swap can also leave the back cover slightly creaky or loose, and it may be damaging to the battery. Which is exposed for a short time ... There is no question that we are disappointed we were not able to deliver on this. Also, we are much more knowledgeable and know what steps to take to Ensure this will not be a problem for the OnePlus 2, we will make sure the battery is properly protected and the StyleSwap cover is safe easy to replace. So as always, stay tuned. "- OnePlus
For many users it may be a disappointment, but we hope that OnePlus has learned something from this affair!
