If you’re still reeling from the news that style swap covers are cancelled for the OnePlus One, but still want a Bamboo case, then you’ll be happy to know there is an alternative.
This Bamboo covers isn’t an official OnePlus products but has been designed to slip over the 5.5-inch smartphone to add protection and that sought after Bamboo finish. As you can see in the photos this is an actual protective case made from Bamboo, not a replacement style swap cover. The benefits of this being it is easy to install (don’t need to force the rear off), and actually adds a nice layer of protection, the downside is that it adds to the thickness of the phone by a few mm.

It’s not clear who makes the cover, but we have seen the two piece protector on a number of sites ranging from as much as $30 to as little as $9.99. The case features cut outs for the rear camera, microphone, speakers and physical buttons, and has a foam rubber lining for a snug fit.

I bought the same bamboo cover lately on AliExpress. There are fine and well manufactured.
Buy I’m sad to say that I don’t like them: they are too ‘big’ and then you have a big piece of wood in your hand, ruining the design of your OPO. Worst are the edges around the screen…
Nice try but definitively worst than a real SwapStyle back cover imho :S
