The cases for Pixel 6 and Samsung S26+ were too tight so I had to look at phonesbysize.com again.
Indeed Oneplus has a few options that could fit. Because TOH makes Jolla2 a bit thicker, the width of the case is also important.
Oneplus Nord CE 3 Lite (165.5 x 76 x 8.3) is from 2023.
If not available, a newer one like Oneplus Nord 6 (162.5 x 77.5 x 8.5) also is possible.

I just got a cover for Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 5G, and it feels pretty much as close to perfect as one can hope for in these circumstances. The camera hole in the back side is way too wide, but the right side buttons match those of Jolla and can be used with some effort. There’s even matching holes for mic(?) at the top and loudspeaker(?) in the bottom.

The color is more off-back than any green, but the 5G model has a working magnet without the extra flap for closing unlike the similarly-enough sized 4G.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 (5G) 162,4 x 75,7 x 8 mm
Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 (4G) 163,3 x 76,6 x 8,2 mm
Jolla Phone 2026 ------------ ~158 x 74 x 9mm

Do note the Pro models’ covers have a rounded camera hole too into the center of the phone, don’t look like a fit.

How-to: Book-style case for the Jolla Phone 2026 from a donor case + the original shell

Since nobody makes a book/wallet case for the JP2 yet, I built my own. The idea: take a donor wallet case, cut out its inner cradle, and glue the original Jolla protective shell in its place — the phone is then held by the shell’s clips and can be snapped in and out anytime.

Materials:

  • Tactical Field Notes Pro for the Realme 8i (its camera cutout lines up with the JP2 camera with no cutting!)
  • original Jolla protective shell (this one gets sacrificed — keep your Inari Blue safe)
  • T-7000 glue (or B-7000), isopropyl alcohol, P240 sandpaper, masking tape

Steps:

  1. Cut out the inner TPU cradle of the donor case, close to the inner edge.

  2. Roughen both bonding surfaces: the back of the shell with P240, the leatherette lightly too. Degrease both with IPA.

  1. Mask off everything the glue shouldn’t touch — especially the inside of the camera window.

  2. Apply T-7000 and spread it into a thin, even film with a card.

  1. Position the shell using the camera window as the guide (get it right the first time — check through the cutout) and press for 48 hours. Tip: put a piece of cardboard with a camera-sized cutout under the window area so the pressure reaches the zone around the camera frame too. I used a stack of books as the press. :slight_smile:

Result: solid bond, the clips still work, the magnetic flap closes, and the case doubles as a video stand. Cost ~12 EUR + glue.

Nice craft project, clean and seriously made.
Did you really leave the phone under all these weight? No fear to squash?

What device did you take the pics with?

Yes, he did. And he was hoping :slight_smile: . Taken with an old Redmi Note 9 Pro running Lineage OS.So I weighed one book, and it weighs 880 grams, :astonished_face:
