FYI, get a case for your phab 2 pro.
I got my phone on Wed. It fell out of my pocket jacket as I was getting in my car. Normally it would be in my back pant pocket if I'm walking around. No case, and now cracked screen. I'm guessing no gorilla glass on this phone?
I'm coming from a Note 4, that I dropped numerous times without a case, and have yet to crack my screen. Only scruffs and scratches. I was debating between the phab 2 pro and xiaomi mi mix. The mi mix looked so delicate, and the phab 2 pro is built like a tank. I guess the heavy weight doesn't help if you drop your phone.
I liked the phone. huge screen. good battery life. almost stock android experience. Oh well. It was nice while it lasted.

Me, too. But Lenovo is not making my "usual" easy. No accessories (case, screen protector, etc.) offered with the release of the phone! I was looking at Lenovo tablets and they offer cases and screen protectors at a discount when ordered with the tablet!!! Seems like any accessories I could find (on Amazon) are available either November 30th or 17th...
I'm so sorry that you're phone already broke! That shouldn't happen to anyone! I am sure that it's too soon to get anyone who can fix it... But I hope that you can soon...
Lenovo warranty wouldn't cover drops and spills... Well, the SquareTrade Warranty I have on my Note 3 doesn't either... Only mechanical problems...

Oh no, I feel sorry for your loss
Hopefully this doesn't mean the lp2p has a poor design for robustness
Gorilla glass is very hard to scratch but can be brittle. Metal frames don't absorb impacts like a decently thick plastic body.
My Plan B is a Xiaomi Mi Max 4GB 128GB phone. They have some really good cases for it but no good screen protectors. The only reason I am hesitating is because I had a Huawei Mediapad X2 7" screen which I loved. Except that I got horrible MMS service from... So yesterday I read every post on my Plan B and one person posted that his phone was doing things with MMS that my X2 had done... I think that would happen to me with any non-USA released phone... So I HAVE to get this Phab 2 Pro!

They have some cases. Sucks the screen broke. Screen protectors don't help for falls. Damage happens to the frame of the phone so the glass breaks.

P2P does not have gorilla glass, according to this comparison with Xiaomi Mi Max. I hope that's wrong. http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/Xiaomi-Mi-Max,Lenovo-Phab-2-Pro/phones/10044,10108
edit: Then, this site says gorilla glass, just gorilla glass, not 2, 3, 4 or 5. http://www.gsm-specs.com/lenovo-phab-2-pro/ or this site http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/smartphones/phab-series/phab2-pro/ Would expect GG 4, like other phones right about now.
the phab 2 pro is so darn heavy, that any fall is probably detrimental to the huge glass screen. Just unfortunate that it was in a parking lot and not a soft carpet to land on. It's still usable. I'll just get a glass protector and tape over it so the pieces won't fall off. I hate using cases because it makes a huge phone even bigger. Oh well, lesson learned. I doubt a mi mix would have survived the fall either.

The P2P cases they show on Amazon are not for the P2P. You can see in the pictures that the holes do not match up in the back. There's only ONE case on Amazon that looks right - and it's not available until November 17!!!

this site also says gorilla glass, just not which type
http://smartphones.specout.com/l/6402/Lenovo-Phab-2-Pro
I bought this, but it really only helps with the slippery body of the phone. It wouldn't help the phone survive any drops that would damage a caseless phone. I'm looking forward to something a little more substantial, along the lines of a Seidio case.
It's just a straightforward TPU case. Nothing much to it.
THAT is the only case I saw on Amazon that looked right. I don't think that it would offer much protection from anything but scratches on the body of the phone and make the phone feel less slippery. I am hoping some manufacturers feel like there is enough demand for an Otterbox style case for this phone!

Falls are always tricky. I dropped my Nexus 6 several times, including a 12 foot drop from a ladder straight flat onto the screen, and no cracks. I let my wife borrow it until her new phone came in and it fell 2 feet from her hands and cracked the whole screen.
This case fits the P2P well, just ignore the photo on the auction.
http://r.ebay.com/F4T7oF
It has nice raised edge around the holes for the back cameras, a hole for the back mic and a flat hole for the fingerprint that makes it easy to distinguish from the wide-angle camera by feel. It adds a very little bulk and just the right amount of protection. My phone has already survived one fall 2 hardwood floor from the bed.

Here you go, gets the job done for $3 shipped. Took a couple weeks shipping from China, but I ordered well ahead of the phone.
Nice, thanks.

Thanks so much, Jeff, I just got the LAST ONE they had!!! I kept trying to order 3 and it would not let me! Then I realized that it said LAST ONE!
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
I just went onto ebay to try to find another case like that one... Well, I saw the original one and went back to it. It says LAST ONE and won't let you order more than 1 at a time but it did let me order 2 more as long as I ordered and paid for them one at a time... It said LAST ONE each time...

This looks identical to the Tektide case on Amazon selling for $9. Nice find!
I loved my mi mix 2. Still using it actually after I accidentally broke the screen on my OnePlus 5T. I know I can get the screen replaced but was thinking of saving for a new phone eventually. Many are on my radar. Next version of mi mix. Red magic Mars. OnePlus 7.
I would like to know though protection wise how is the mi mix 3 and it's slider for cases? I would think protective cases would be problematic due to the slider. Is this true? How is everyone liking their mi mix 3 ?
Just looking for some thoughts! I love my mix 2 so don't need to sell me on the mi mix line. Just curious about cases and the slider. And maybe pros cons everyone has seen?
I've had my mi mix 3 since release in the UK. I've been using the included case which is perfect. The wireless charging works through it and is protected enough. But I have noticed that the top left side of the case is starting to wear, so I will be replacing it soon (been looking for decent replacements on taobao). The cases designed for it have a cut out at the bottom, which basically lets the slider half through. everything else is covered. Hope this helps
Just bought a random leather case on eBay for my Mi Mix 3 and the slider works perfectly. Also have another 2 piece coming in that also covers the front, the case slides with the phone
Hey Mi users,
I have been on the lookout for a waterproof hard case for the K20 pro / Mi 9t pro, but haven't managed to find one. I'd like to use my phone in combination with a QuadLock for running and cycling and would like some weather protection. An universal waterproof pouch won't work because the QuadLock system needs to attach to a hard surface. Maybe a universal waterproof hard case could work, but I didn't find any.
Open to case suggestions and other waterproofing tips.
Thx
Kaï
I doubt there will ever be a waterproof case for the K20 Pro because of the pop up camera

yeah i was worried at first about waterproofing but then i have seen some vids showing testing it after being dunked under water for over 5mins and came out fine but who knows with editing but i also i watched JerryRigEverything take it apart and even though its not been certified by xiaomi for a waterproof rating it still has rubber around most of the seals where water would get in so a little rain or sweat is not going to damage it, i wouldn't take it underwater diving to take photos but any case should be fine for some weather protection
i actually went with a rugged case off aliexpress the Rugged Armor Mi 9 SE 9T Case For Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 6 Pro 7 Case 6A 4X 4 7A S2 Mi A1 6X A2 8 Lite Pocophone F1 Cases Silicone
as it has dust caps for the ports too which was another issue i thought might be a problem, and has added benefit of abit of front lip so dont have to worry about screen touching surface either, yet to get it so can't tell you how much it adds to the bulk of phone or if blocks cameras in any way. will let you know once i do get it
My device did fall in water few days back and came out working fine like before.

I think there is some water protection, it just isn't advertised, I watched jerryrigeverything breakdown video and there seems to be a few rubber gaskets around ports and what not

Right, it's not advertised as water-proof, because manufacturer couldn't attain IP certificate. If they did advertised it as such, they would only ask for unneccessary issues with authorities. But some form of water-proof is indeed in there. Diving is not recommended, but it certainly will survive much more than some random splashes.

Probably would have made the phone cost more too as they would have to pay to get the certification.

I'm using this 360 degree case
https://www.novamobilephone.com/coll...r-xiaomi-mi-9t
Using this one, satisfied, even fingerprint unlock works fine with:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000097642523.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.1fd24c4dikcUVb
I've been using this case for 2 months now and I'm satisfied. The touch response is absolutely right, and as far as fingerprint is concerned, there were initially problems, however, when I memorized just one finger, everything works fine.
Is there really pre installed screen protector on the Xiaomi 13 as some mentioned? And is it any good? Surely it wont withstand a hit with a hammer, but for normal every day use, is it enough? Should I get another one while buying the phone? Like I have had Xiaomi phones that come with a rubber case and those cases are good. Never had a need to change them. How is the screen protector?

I haven't gotten mine yet, but as far as I recall Xiaomi includes a film screen protector with each phone. It works about as well as any other basic film screen protector. If you're the type of person that prefers glass screen protectors, though, you'll probably want to get one elsewhere.
If I get like tempered glass, will it limit the finger print reader functionality? It didn't really work so well on my Xiaomi Mi note 10 until I installed a specific custom ROM.

It may have been a thing a while back for glass screen protectors to lack the appropriate transmittance for optical fingerprint sensors like in the 13, but nowadays I believe they have it sorted. I would look for ones that advertise high transparency, sensitivity, or accuracy.

Pre-installed screen protector is sh*t, not pleasant at all to touch.
If you intend to use gestures, I recommend no protector at all.

That's surprising! I have a POCO F3 and have been using its pre-installed SP since I got it over six months ago. It's held up great so far and I don't notice any touch sensitivity issues!
Do you think the 13 uses a different setup?

I am using Xiaomi 13. Nope. Only Samsung has the fingerprint issue with tempered glass.
