OnePlus’ Sandstone cases are a classic for a reason. With their fine sandpaper-like texture, these cases not only look sleek but also deliver better grip, keeping accidental slips at bay.
Meanwhile, Aramid Fiber cases are all about tough protection without the bulk, thanks to their lightweight yet super-strong build. And if you’ve got a soft spot for OnePlus’ old-school wood grain cases, the Wood Grain Magnetic Half-pack option is the perfect mix of style and practicality.

The leaker points out that these cases are magnetic, so they’ll easily snap onto your phone. Plus, they’ll probably work perfectly with other magnetic accessories, like Qi2 wireless chargers.
OnePlus recently unveiled some magnetic accessories for the OnePlus 13 in China, so expect them to hit global markets soon. OnePlus President Kinder Liu previously confirmed that the phone will support magnetic wireless charging, showing that the company is ready to jump on the growing trend of magnetic accessories, just like other premium smartphones.
While OnePlus heard the love for past bamboo cases, Liu made it clear that it won’t be making a comeback for the OnePlus 13. Instead, OnePlus will offer stylish wood-grain covers with a “magnetic suction function.”
Apple has had the MagSafe advantage for a while, with a whole ecosystem of magnetic accessories. Android users, on the other hand, have had to deal with third-party adapters to get something similar.
That said, 2025 is about to flip the script. With more brands jumping on the Qi2 wireless charging bandwagon and building their own magnetic accessory collections, Android is finally bringing that same smooth, convenient experience Apple users have been living with.
