5. What camera option you want (flash, front facing camera)? : Flash and front facing camera,,

So any accessories that i need to have? Saw some tempered glass, case, screen guard..

Tempered Glass a must., its expensive but worth it. dont ever go for matt screen or screen guard from your local cell phone walla, it looks horrible.

I used Pelosi Sandstone Finish Back Cover Slim Case FOR Oneplus ONE Black Color | eBay , but gave it to my brother who also owns OPO. I kinda like the phone without a case.
