Very bad cover case and a good one - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Accessories

I bought a MOFI cover case and was surprised that the camera is outside of the cover case and not protected
i bought it here :
https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/Mi-A2-cas-couverture-MOFI-Pour-Xiaomi-Mi-A2-Dos-Tissus-D-affaires-cas-pour-xiaomi/32867860205.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27426c37tTjHkr
By the way, this on is far better and less expensive :
https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/Wall...222.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27426c37tTjHkr

Thanks for the warning. I was tempted by that case but didn't buy yet.

I was very surprised as images are false and don't mention this huge problem so I paid a high price for something useless

You can't trust random brands on ali express to be honest. The item quality is mostly hit or miss, unless you read lots of reviews and pick carefully.

You can find the Mofi fabric cases unbranded like this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/-/32908110384.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.1f582e0eEFAUuW
As of the leather case, I bought this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/-/32915942532.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.1f582e0eEFAUuW but I'm still waiting for it to arrive.

I got a cool looking grey case with a nice texture the other day. The camera bump is appropriate and the price is low. Nothing to complain about so far except I don't think it's very water or sweat proof. Link: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/323406914151

Thanks for this return. The picture does not seem to correctly protect the camera, could you please post a picture ?

What I can recommend are the GKK 360 cases. I am not allowed to post a link yet but you can look it up on AliExpress.
If you put a 9H screen protector on the Display and then put on this case its like a full body condom for your phone^^

Hello, I have this one!

Hi, a couple of questions.
- Is the case slippery?
- is the camera bump protected properly?
thanks.

Hello,
- As it is not gel, it is more slippery than the original in the box.
- The hole for the camera is a bit big. The glass of the camera is not totally protected, it protrudes very very little from the right side. But this case protects more than the stock case.
Sorry for my English, regards!

@hugomoya
Is it only in black colour? I have gold version and i don't want to cover it in black.
Could someone recommen me the case (with good camera bump protect) wich transparent/clear color? No flip cover.

Hello @vgran
Only in Black, Gray, Red, Dark-Blue.
Maybe Nillkin TPU Case is a good choice for you:

I bought a Mofi fabric case for my Mi A2 and my camera lenses are already scratched up because this case doesn't have the 'lip' the original TPU case does that protects the cameras, good thing I applied a camera tempered glass when I bought the phone.

Crystal Skin Gel Case?

Does anybody have good photos of one of the crystal skin cases on their N1? I'm on the verge of ordering one, but I want to get a better look at how much bulk it adds. Most of the pics on the sites I've found are low res or at a bad angle.
Thanks.
IS this what you're talking about?
http://www.overstock.com/Electronic...d=123620&fp=F&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=12517446
If so, I'm wondering if anyone has tried these..?
i have one... its really nice. Very snug fit and has all the cut outs for 2nd mic, speaker, flash, ect...
well made and highly recommended. especially at such a cheap price.
attached a couple of pics with the case on my nexus... hope this helps.

Its similar to the cases for the mytouch/ magic but not as sturdy, probably because the phone is thinner and is really really snug. Unlike the silicone cases you cant pull this off just taking it out of your pocket.
The case thickness is slightly higher than the camera on the back which protects it somewhat from scratching the plastic lens cover.
On the front the ridge is high enough to prevent accidental screen touching tap the edges of the screen.
The buttons are still easily operable and does not interfere with the charger, mics, or speaker at all. It does cover two of the three gold connectors so it might be a problem when the docks come out.
I just ordered the very same case on ebay, along with the clearfreak screen protector.
Case seems to fit snug. Nice!!
Looks a lot better than I imagined.

Can you try your slip in case that the google nexus came with and let me know if it slips it quite well?

It doesn't fit, if your force it in, it might go in but you would have a tough time pulling it out.

I bought one because I'd rather not have my phone all scratched up. I will be attempting to remove the pattern when it arrives, probably with some nail polish remover first and then onto some acid.

This is what my wife is wanting... just want to make sure its snug, looks of quality, and has all the necessary holes cut out.

Agreed +1.
Yeah. I love the material, clarity, and fit (I have the green one) but I don't care for the pattern. However, I realized that I don't actually see the pattern all that often so it doesn't bother me. I'm thinking of getting another; I got mine from Amazon (it was on there at least the day before the phone was announced) and I might get the blue one next.
I found a smoke-colored one on Ebay. I guess I'll pick up the smoke one, as the back of the phone is dark-gray, the checker pattern doesn't stick out as much as the white (or green or blue or red or purple) one.

I just got mine today. I love how snug the skin fits on the N1 and also the pattern isn't so ugly in person. IMO this is currently the best body protection for the phone and it's worth every penny spent on it.

This is my clear favorite since I literally HATE flip cases and generally think, that cases should not kill the elegant shillouette of a phone.
So I don´t link monster security safety cases either. But that´s just me
I have found these which let you add custom images:

I just ordered a case from Amazon. Will see how it preforms before I post a link to it. It looks promising.

I ordered this one Flip Leather Case, but when i ordered it come from China (available in EU warehouse now) and is stil in transit.
Is there a flip case that has a magnet inside and smart sleep function? To turn on and of the phone when it flips? I didn't find on ebay.
Curious if anyone got one of these cases

Sandstone Case
I got this one from eBay. Copies the sandstone finish from OnePlus. The ring stand can be removed.
Item number: 291908663865(Can't post links yet)
I wanted one like the caselogic I have for my Note 4 but could not find. This one at least sort of "looked" the same. But it doesn't lol. the side gold color is silly and ugly but it is $5 and delivered from USA. So its a cheap much better solution till I can find what I want/need
PS: caselogic for note 4 is beter cause it has hard case on the side. this Chinese doesn't (it just changed the side color.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/13200510908...49&var=431352460498&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
good things about the case:
1. protects well the screen
2. using the fingerprint almost makes me feel that this case is a must. it fits my finger so perfectly that I have no miss reading it
3. because the side part is much stronger than the original case I don't accidently turn off the screen anymore when I rotate the phone
overall: not pretty but very functional case

I got the black leather case from the first link you posted from amazon... got it to hide the almost-rose-gold phone body color that was the only option to purchase during the 'lightning deals'. It fits really well, added grip on the sides, the fake leather backing gives it a nice texture but very plastic-y, doesn't overheat, overall it offers very little protection on the corners and the front glass is protected by the border of the case but only minimally. Hope this helps.
the leather is not even close to be leather. it is plastic imitating leather. The caselogic is way much better texture. My hope is that as the phone gets more popular a company like caselogic decides to build a case for. But ... it is only $5 and way much better than the one that comes with it.
I do like that i have to actually put some pressure to click in the buttons. this way, i never accidentally click on anything. And i never missed a fingerprint reading since i changed to this case. Link i gave is the same one, but delivers fast from usa.
if anyone find one that is real leather and not plastic in the sides please let me know.
this is what i want:
Bought this case https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N8Y8WUD/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Fits exactly as it should, slightly thicker than the stock case so the camera is _slightly_ more protected. Also has the thicker bumpers on the edges in the same material as the rest of the case. Not incredibly shock-proof but it fits the phone very well, looks nice, and when paired with the full-front Toshion screen protector it is very classy IMO. Pictures to come later when I get home!

Mix 2 cases

Selection is still poor, I've started looking for cases before I even got the phone. The phone feels too thin to me, even with the case on, the one phone ships with. I guess the other cases might actually improve ergonomics for me on top of protecting the phone from damage without being too bulky.
Anyway, here are the cases available now: https://www.oppomart.com/xiaomi/mimix2.html
I bought this one, will update the thread once I have it: https://www.oppomart.com/xiaomi/mim...-clear-tpu-full-case-for-xiaomi-mi-mix-2.html
This is a case I would like for the mix 2: http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Xiaomi-...m-Silicone-Soft-Case-Cover-Skin-/152350732527
There are a few others I liked in the original mix case thread.
For those that like the sandstone finish such as one found on the OnePlus' 1+1 ,a Pelosi Sandstone TPU Case is available for order from eBay :

I really liked the look and size of this case too. I found it on Ebay last night and ordered it. Unfortunately, it takes the slow boat from China as far as delivery goes, so I got a different case on Amazon with prime service to hold me over.

First link.
Just beware that shipping takes multiple weeks if you are ordering from USA. Phone is relatively rare outside China and there was no option for expedited shipping.
I ordered one of these. I've been looking for the Apple or OnePlus 5 style silicone cases with the microfiber inside. Hopefully this is like that. Hopefully it is also genuine xiaomi.

Tudia GLOST Ceramic Feel Tempered Glass Back Panel Case - thoughts?

I am really interested in this new Tudia GLOST ceramic feel tempered glass back case for my Essential phone:
Tudia Glost Case for Essential Phone PH-1
I know the thing isn't available (at least according to Amazon) until December 8th... but I just thought I'd see what everyone else thinks about it. Looks pretty cool, just don't know how much bulk or weight this might add to the phone. Plus I've never had any Tudia cases, so not familiar with them and how well they feel/fit.
Anyone else considering this case? Thoughts?

I am really interested in this new Tudia GLOST ceramic feel tempered glass back case for my Essential phone:
Tudia Glost Case for Essential Phone PH-1
I know the thing isn't available (at least according to Amazon) until December 8th... but I just thought I'd see what everyone else thinks about it. Looks pretty cool, just don't know how much bulk or weight this might add to the phone. Plus I've never had any Tudia cases, so not familiar with them and how well they feel/fit.
Anyone else considering this case? Thoughts?

Got one on order, but can't tell you much about the company or cases but looks pretty sweet
Have the black case and is very nice.
I have the marble one on order I'll post pictures when they release it.
Can someone check to see if the tempered glass part is easily replaceable or if it can be taken off? Was looking at this thinking I could turn it into a bumper case.

I had the exact same thought and this is my chief interest in getting one. If I had to guess it would be that the rear plate is molded into the rubber and not easily removable but hopefully I'm wrong.

So how much weight and 'bulk' does the black case add to the phone? Would you think it adds so much that it wouldn't fit anymore into a somewhat snug belt-loop holster?

Yeah, I would guess the same thing - looks (from the picture) like it's molded right around the glass and it wouldn't be easy to remove.... I just wonder how 'breakable' that glass really is?

Can we get a real life pic of the GLOST case? I am considering the Ocean Green but may settle on Black since I am not sure what the green would look like in person. Do the sides provide any grip? I see there is some pinstriping of some sort, is that just for looks?

The case is nice and snug does not add any bulk to the phone worth noting. Also the weight in minimal. I am positive that you will like the case.

I don't think we'll get a 'real life' picture of it now, since it isn't supposed to even be released until Dec 8; it is available for pre-order though; hence why I was asking...
This is what shows up for it on Amazon, though:

Ah, OK.... I think he was talking about the other Tudia case, the one available now. I had asked since I figured they might be somewhat similar.

There are websites that will 3d print it for you if you do t have access, my brother in law has one and is gonna print me one, I'll post pics and a review if anyone is interested
Well I went ahead and ordered the GLOST case from Amazon, not supposed to be available till the 8th AT THE LEAST. Figured if I don't like it I can return it for a different one.
I'll report back on it once I receive it!
In stock on Amazon NOW. Don't forget to apply the 15% off coupon.
Is the Glost case slimmer than the Tudia Tamm case? I have that one already. It's fine, but I'd prefer something slimmer.

what is the promo code?
Drop and scratch test
Tudia posted two videos of this case to their facebook page. I'd link to it but I am not allowed to post links yet.
Drop test was from ~5ft, no damage to phone
Scratch Test was using a razor blade on the back of the case, no damage.
Looks like a pretty decent case, now I just need to find a source in Canada.

Any slim cases for the Mi 9T/Pro

I've been looking for slim cases everywhere and still can't find anything decent as all of them are too thick. Years ago I used to have a paper thin one just to avoid random scratches but I don't think they produce them anymore .

I bought this one , it literally says slim. Unfortunately design is horrible and case is still thick af....
Get spigen case it's amazing... slim compared to other armo covers... Tried around 3-4 covers and settled with Spigen... Not super slim but superb protection... I have two k20 pros.. So attaching both the phones with case
i got the one below its nice and slim.

It is cool and really slim but took over a month to arrive.

I also bought hydrogel film to try. Still have doubts about protection (better or not than tempered glass).
Do you think the screen is responsive like a tempered glass and the protection is the same?
You are happy with that?

I bought 3 cases for my mi 9t pro.
A TPU transparent (is nice but i know with time will have yellow parts like other ones)
(https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/4000110136882.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.2742b90alwR9tO)
A slim one (https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/33052839264.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.2742b90aovcso7)
And a armor one (https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/33006204196.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.2742b90a5Ljoar)
For me, the ideal is one with a total transparent (not matte) and with a protection of a armor one. The armor above hide the phone back beauty in the side (where the blue is brighter)
Any other good choice?
I have a Spigen as well but since the phone is new I am showing it off with a Ringke case [emoji16]

Does anybody know where to buy the original Xiaomi Case, that comes with the phone?

I was looking for the same and this is the closest thing I could find. They are ever so slightly thicker and not quite as tight fitting as the original. They also do not give button protection as there's just a cutout in that area, and sides don't come up above the screen (they are flush). The originals have a very little lip over the screen. Not that it matters because if it falls with either case on it probably won't end well. That said, I have dropped the phone once and it survived without a scratch.
