OnePlus One StyleSwap covers have been canceled

The OnePlus One came into the game claiming to be a flagship killer, and it packed some beastly specs into an unbeatable pricepoint. However, OnePlus did not stop there. They also promised amazing customization options from a product dubbed StyleSwap covers. These covers were interchangable replacement back plates that could be changed by the user. StyleSwap covers were said to be coming in a variety of covers and even some wood options. This peeked many people’s interest as such a feature is not available from many other companies.

Unfortunately, today OnePlus announced that it would be discontinuing the StyleSwap covers before they even began. They claimed that there had been many snags in finding a way to mass produce the covers and still maintain a high quality of workmanship. Also, OnePlus discovered that the covers had not been implemented as well as they had thought. Changing the covers was proving to be very difficult and the replacements would often be loose and creaky. The loose covers could also result in battery damage. We have to commend OnePlus on not wanting to release a product that is half baked and could damage their phone, but we are still disappointed. Maybe OnePlus can iron out the problems that arose and add StyleSwap covers as a feature for the OnePlus Two.

If you still want a StyleSwap cover, OnePlus says that there is a limited number of bamboo versions that have already been produced and they will be selling the entire stock. But once they are gone, there will be no more produced.
