Official protective case
OnePlus sells its own high quality cases for the OnePlus 5, and this is the flagship case for the flagship phone.
Available in two wood hues, sandstone and our favourite, Karbon, this affordable case offers drop and rear casing protection. The Karbon is the grippiest, and offers better defence against dinks and scratches than the wood versions.

If that isn’t your thing, then the decidedly dull colours of the OnePlus 5 might tempt you into wrapping it in this bright red case.
Rubberised cases are easier to grip traditionally than glossy or even matte plastic cases, although they do get a bit dirty. Easy to clean though!
The red brightens up the device somewhat, though we do love the Midnight Black version. Our review is here
Rhinoshield Crashguard bumper for OnePlus 5
This well built bumper for the OnePlus 5 is kind of odd, but we like how it still shows off the screen and back of the phone while protecting it from serious drops.
It adds little bulk while giving you full access to all ports and not really changing the look and feel of the device. Good work here from Rhinoshield.

DN-Technology rubber case for OnePlus 5
It might not be the most expensive or protective, but for a grippy see through rubber case you really can’t go wrong with this one.
It’ll save the phone from surface scratches and even short drops, but don’t expect it to save it from screen smashes on unforgiving concrete.

Polaroid has continued its twenty-first century revival with the Hi-Print, a new pocketable Bluetooth photo printer that you might prefer to its instant cameras .
The unit prints onto 2.1 x 3.4in with adhesive backs, letting you print credit-card sized stickers of photos from your phone.
Polaroid said when the Hi-Print prints with its official photo paper, it uses a dye-sublimation process that should result in waterproof prints that don’t fade. Here’s hoping.
All you need is the printer, a pack of paper, and the iOS or Android app and you’re good to go.
The £81.99 printer is available now from Polaroid’s website , with a pack of 20 prints costing £15.99. It’s a little pricy, but sometimes it’s nice to make physical all the images we normally keep digitally.
