I think people are counting this phone out before they even give it a chance. And threads like this aren't helping matters lol
Seriously though, if you talk to any of our One Plus members and they'll all tell you its one of the best, if not THE best, Android device they've ever owned. The 4 members (big number right..lol) I know personally are all "Android veterans" if you will, so these "views" aren't coming from just anyone.
Aside from that, take a look at the track record from every well established manufacturer. Every single one of them has had one issue or another with almost every new device they've released over the years. Point is, these things happen. This isn't even the stock cover we're talking about, it's an alternate cover and is wooden for cripessake. If I recall correctly, the original Moto X had similar problems with their bamboo cover.
I'm just saying. ...its one thing to post a news story, but c'mon. In the grand scheme of things, this cover has nothing to do with the actual phone itself. The article (as well as past articles from the manufacturer ) tells me that this is company is trying hard to compete in a cutthroat market and that they clearly learn from their mistakes. (just as they did with the invite debacle) Their decision to not release a subpar "accessory " was a smart move imo.
I'm all for giving them a fighting chance. They certainly have a much better device than what many larger manufacturers have tried to release on their first try. (-cough- Amazon -cough-)
