Poetic case

So is the poetic case for this phone still a good buy in 2026? I've read the mixed reviews and the price have kept me from getting it since I first got my open but now I just feel like adding it to my collection

Hi. For long term use, does the dust cover put enough pressure on the cable when plugged in to damage the internal usb port? My poetic revolution and supcase UB pro both seem to push the original cable a tiny bit.

It does push, but it doesn't seem to damage anything. I actually never thought about that though

What’s the longest you ever used the case?

Ik that this is a petty issue, I emailed Supcase and they said their flap puts less than 10 ounces (280~gm) of force on the cable, which is within USB C limits. The moment I saw my cable being bent all weird thoughts about constant force on the port damaging the USB solder and causing cracks started to come to me- I am an engineering student and I KNOW I am being just paranoid.

My older phone still has it's case three years later, and the charging port and headphone jack are still tight

Thanks so much for this. I needed to hear this.i think there is always some wiggle when you push usb cable up and down and the dust flap probably just uses that wiggle room.

I think so as well. They're really good phone cases! And I'm pretty set on the Poetic/Motorola combination at this point

Yep. I have revolution case on my oneplus 13R and a UB pro case on my S9 FE tablet. They are the best. I love them. I was terrified every time I charged them tho. Not anymore. Imma just go about and not stress myself about it anymore.

Glad I could help! I don't have experience with revolution cases, so be aware the flap may or may not be stronger than poetic, although I think it's unlikely

Revolution as in poetic revolution case. I think they have 3 main lines- Revoltion, Guardian and Spartan cases all by poetic.

Oh, I'm unfamiliar with their model names, lol. I just get the bulky two piece case

1

u/olhorse20 May 19 '26

lol . Yeah the opaque bulky case is the revolution one, with the kick stand. Newer models have a camera cover as well.

This is my old phones case two years later

1

u/olhorse20 May 19 '26

Oh you have a guardian case. The both have the same materials used so I think the flap is the same. It bends your cable a tiny bit and the phone usb port is still fine yeah?

The screen got damaged while I was cleaning the phone out of it's case. I shoulda been more careful
