OnePlus Nord CE6 Cases, Covers and Screen Protectors

OnePlus Nord CE6 cases and accessories

If you use the OnePlus Nord CE6 a lot for gaming, then grip is just as important as protection. The phone’s 144Hz display and fast touch response make it popular for gaming, but weighing over 200 grams, long sessions can feel heavy in the hand – a case made from textured silicone or matt-finished hard plastic provides a more secure grip and reduces the risk of the phone slipping out of your hand in the middle of a match.

Impact protection beyond the certification

The OnePlus Nord CE6 is already certified against water and dust, which means the case’s most important job isn’t to seal the phone – but to protect the screen’s glass and corners from impacts when the phone is actually dropped onto tarmac or the floor. If you’re looking for the best impact protection, you should therefore look for cases with reinforced corners or an extra shock-absorbing rim, rather than just water resistance.

Camera protection

The rear camera module protrudes slightly from the casing. If you often place your phone face-down, it’s worth choosing a case where the edge around the camera is raised, so that the lens is never the part of the phone that makes contact with the table or the bottom of your pocket first.

Charging and cases in everyday use

As the OnePlus Nord CE6 charges via cable with up to 80W fast charging, it’s particularly important that the opening in the case around the charging port is spacious enough for thicker cables – otherwise you risk having to remove the case every time you charge. If you want to simplify your daily life, a magnetic case with an easy-to-use opening and closing mechanism is a good choice, whilst a faux-leather wallet case is ideal for those who want to keep cards, cash and their mobile in one place.

Colour and design

The OnePlus Nord CE6 comes in a range of light and dark colours, from black to lighter pearlescent and blue shades. If you want to show off the phone’s design, a transparent case made of soft plastic (TPU) or hard plastic (PC) is a simple way to protect it without hiding the colour.

Screen protectors as an addition

Feel free to complement your case or cover with a screen protector made of tempered glass or a thin plastic film for the OnePlus Nord CE6 – after all, the screen is the part of the phone that’s exposed to the most daily wear and tear, and a good screen protector keeps it free from scratches without affecting touch sensitivity or the fingerprint sensor beneath the screen.

Frequently asked questions

Do the same cases for the OnePlus Nord CE6 and the OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite fit?

No. Although the names are similar, the OnePlus Nord CE6 and the OnePlus Nord CE6 Lite have different screen sizes and dimensions, meaning that cases and screen protectors are not interchangeable between the models. Always choose accessories specifically labelled for the OnePlus Nord CE6.

Can I charge the phone wirelessly through the case?

The OnePlus Nord CE6 does not support Qi wireless charging; instead, it charges via a cable with up to 80W fast charging. It therefore doesn’t matter whether the case is thick or thin from a charging perspective – the important thing is that the opening at the charging port is large enough for your cable.

Does a screen protector affect the under-display fingerprint sensor?

A good-quality screen protector, designed for the OnePlus Nord CE6, should not affect the sensor’s functionality. After fitting it, you may sometimes need to re-register your fingerprint so that the sensor can read it correctly through the protector.

Does a case protect the camera on the OnePlus Nord CE6?

Yes, provided the case has a raised edge around the camera module. As the camera protrudes slightly from the back, it is important that the edge of the case is at least as high as the camera module, so that the lens does not rest against the surface when the phone is laid down.

Do I need a case if the phone is already water- and dust-resistant?

The OnePlus Nord CE6 is certified to IP68/IP69K and MIL-STD-810H standards, which provide good protection against water, dust and certain stresses. However, the certification does not protect against scratches or impacts from drops onto hard surfaces, so a case and screen protector are still recommended to protect against everyday wear and tear.

Which material is best – silicone, hard plastic or leather?

Silicone offers the best shock absorption and grip, which is ideal if you use your phone a lot for gaming or tend to drop it frequently. Hard plastic is slimmer and lighter but offers less impact protection. Faux leather in a wallet case provides both protection and space for cards, which is ideal for those who want to keep everything in one place.
