Hello Guys!
As you might know the RN3 Pro SE is now available but dimensions are slightly different from the standard RN3.
What does that mean?
Screen protections and cases don't fit with the new RN3 pro SE dimensions and we have no info about compatible items.
The goal here is to post ALL related items (case, screen protection,...) which should perfectly fit with the Redmi Note 3 Pro Special Edition called Kate .
Thanks!
Really? Are the dimensions really different from standard RN3? I doubt this.

Yes. The "Special Edition" (Kate) is 2mm longer than the "regular" Version (Kenzo). 152mm vs. 150mm.
Cases for Kenzo don't fit Kate.
I am also interested in knowing where to get cases for the special edition. Preferably the original Xiaomi transparent silicone bumper.
Found this on reddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/5050vx/xiaomi_redmi_note_3_pro_special_edition_cases/
He claims that if fits ok except camera & figerprint that are 2 mm lower.

Maybe could be a good start^^.Anyway still looking for an official case.
Already ordered a kate device.
i will test once i get the device. i have 4 cases for my kenzo.
i think only the drop proof case with the big bumpy corners (that came with my phone when i ordred it by dreami) will fit its pretty large.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/201...2598403934.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.72.TDUv0u this one wont fit im sure. will report back when i get my fukin phone

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Xia...2557610247.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.91.xkaHVK this same note sure. will report back
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Xia...655143151.html?spm=2114.13010308.0.152.WHyeW9 this one will fit for sure i have it and its pretty lose on my kenzo. so i think it wil fit the kate better
in a german community it was told that the buttom part is longer then the kenzo. he applied a tempered glass which fittet perfectly fine on top, but at the buttom there were 2mm not covered.

Nice to hear that, please if it is posible post some photos^^ one you get the phone
Thankss
I'd like to hunt down a good case for this phone as well. I have a Pudding TPU case for Kenzo and it doesn't really fit well. If I could find one for Kate that would be ideal. A generic clear TPU case doesn't fit well either. Would be interested to see what people find.
I can't believe they did not release any cases with "kate" official or unofficial.
still not received the phone... ****ing long wait..
We're all in the same boat...
No one got a right case to fit with our wonderful Kate
Anyway, I am checking everyday on various websites/forums but no news...
I hope chinese providers from AliExpress and Xiaomi are working on it!
ALL Kate sellers such as GeekBuying, Xiaomi Authorised, .... have a strong demand on this smartphone!
I only have my KENZO for 7 days now and gearbest had a great offer for the KATE... Well now i ordered a Kate. As I already have the ipaky cover I will test it with Kate... But already now it's so snug that I already can tell that it won't fit or even break the cover. I will report too.
Hi Guys!
I Found this :
Covers:
buy.mi.com/tw/accessories/53-12433
Tempered glass:
buy.mi.com/tw/accessories/55-12433
It is fully fit the Spec. Edition. (Kate). One problem, it is not possible to order outside, only Taiwan.... Now i try to find a reseller....
at least we know cases exist.
the backcover is fine, but i would prefer an original slim silicone bumper which also covers the buttons.
tempered glass seems to be available for kate:

Good news! I hope the next step is the cover on resellers!
Good start... although I feel it might be a few weeks until we something like the Pudding TPU one available from somewhere like Aliexpress
I bought this one because i needed one fast so i didnt want to wait from china : Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.ca/itm/351633550681
But it doesnt fit quite well.
If i put bottom first, then usb is ok but not micro phone. Jack is ****ed and IR and mic on top also.
If i put top first then all in the top is ok but not bottom mic and usb. So i'll try to melt the bottom part to make the holes wider but i feel like the case is too small.
Now i least its protected a bit so im waiting for some good links and i order again
A rep from GearBest replied to my question on a FreakTab board saying that they will have covers/cases for kate. So just a matter of time.
Hey,
How do I tell if I have a Kate or a Kenzo model? I know the cpu in mine is a SD 650. I ordered a case for the Redmi Note 3 and it seems to be too short... about 2 mm too short to fit on my phone. Because of this I believe I may have a Kate model because of that but how can I know for sure?
Thanks

Check the box. If it full english text it is "kate"
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.

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!
Does anyone know where to buy the default white case? If not, does anyone have one that they don't need anymore?
EDIT: Noticed I posted this in the wrong section, is a mod able to move this to Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Accessories please?
unfortunately i can't even find the black one. on mine the button covers were bent out after a few days and i removed them alltogether.
it feels nice, but the quality of the cover isn't that great.
maybe try the Nilkin one? used that on the Mi A1 for a good 9 months and no issues. (and there is a white one as well)
try imak cowboy case, its almost identical to the oem case but with cover for the bottom port, really nice
No, this can't be bought, even in China.
same issue..i have the white mix 2s..the default cover cracked a few days after use.. not able to find anywhere.. that's actually sad, as mi makes back covers for most of its phones
as someone pointed the cowboy case looks good....but there is no white variant....

Ah that sucks, nobody seems to do a case similar to the OEM one. The only white ones don't cover the buttons at all, the Nilkin ones look too thick. I've got a nice Voppton one but again they don't do white.. :crying:

I bought a case called MSVII, although it is not like the OEM, it is very comfortable to hold.
Got an IMAK Transparent Crystal 2 Pro case that's as thin as the original case (thinner than the MSVII and Voppton cases since it doesn't have the soft rubber coating). Looks rather nice as it's transparent. Drawback is that since it's so much like the original case that the screen lip is not raised.
There's an official Xiaomi case you can buy that's nicer than the one that is included with the phone but it doesn't appear to come in white:
https://www.oppomart.com/xiaomi/mi-...h-microfiber-lining-for-xiaomi-mi-mix-2s.html
The case is more minimal than I personally like--I don't feel comfortable using this type of case outside my apartment but if you like minimal the case is nicely designed.

You mean this?
This can creak easily
Verizon currently has all pixel 4/4xl cases at 50% off. Otterbox, Google fabric, speck, incipio dual pro and a few others.
I picked up a fabric case for 20 bucks.
Not sure how long this sale will last
Thanks for the heads up. I picked the grey case up on the way home. It's a lot easier to do the back swipe with the fabric case then the Spigen liquid case.

Thanks for the tip. Picked up a black one at a local Vzw corporate store. Back gesture is easy to do, but wish it was more grippy.

Thanks for the tip. I've had it for a few days now and really like this case. Wish it had more grip but I love the look and design of it.

I agree. The case looks good, but wow, the grip is really bad.
I ended up picking one of these up myself and I just can't help but think I don't like how the bottom is so open compared to the Pixel 3 XL version.
This would be my favorite case if it wasn't for the fact that I'm concerned that if I drop my phone it's going to hit somewhere on the front edge around the charging ports or speaker and shatter the screen LOL!
Anywho I'm kind of looking around to see what options I have.
I just came over from a Google Nexus 6 with a Cruzlite Bug Droid case that was made out of some stiffer polymer material possibly TPU? Definitely stronger than silicone though.
I have literally dropped my Nexus 6 probably a couple of hundred or more times on every corner at every angle and the phone pretty much still looks new.
I was excited to get a new version of the Bug Droid case because I really like the teal blue one that they have for the Pixel 3 XL but then discovered that they don't make them for the Pixel 4 XL
Picked up the black ...I would definitely like a little more grip but it's alright ...

Great point about the case bottom. I can tell you from experience, if you drop the phone and it cracks where the case is open, Google won't cover the damage! My Pixel 3XL cracked exactly where there was no case protection on the bottom and they told me not thier problem. Google doesnt feel like the case gives you any guarantee against breakage. That's what I was told, ymmv.
Just a short review...so everyone thinking to purchase are aware. I will rate them 6/10 for skins and 10/10 for customer servise
Facts i have paid full price for 2 skins + shipping
20.78£ about 24 euro for 2 skins!
This is not my first skins...but first from them...
They are easy to apply...seems to hold well...
But before purchase... I got 2 and 1 of them has defective circle and they are not 100% fit at least not for me.
See pictures and pics with clear case on....
What do you think?
And few more + CASE PIC
This is how they came
Got this black carbon skin for my phone today! Gotta say it fits very well on the phone. It really makes the grip a lot more comfortable and firm in the hand while I'm holding it. They sent me the full skin even though I didn't order for the camera, which was nice of them. :good:
I have the textured matte black from them and it fits absolutely fine. Can't take photos as I don't have another phone.
They are not bad at all....
But little on expensive side.
I have now the white gloss skin on.... Its bad....but i guess is the choice of colour
.textured skins are much better....
But you can get carbon or leather skin for 1 euro or less... For poco f2 aka redmi k30 pro from ali. And they are the same...

Will update with pics... Have carbon blue...carbon white and leather coming.
Had them on poco f1 before from the same seller. They were superb....great fit and excellent grip. So i dont think they are any different. They are cut to precision.
So basically I shouldn't have gotten the blue version of the phone because there is no skin to cover that?

Thanks fot the hint searching for Redmi k30 pro skins.
I desperately searched for poco f2 skins without any luck.
The crappy aliexpress search didn't contribute to that.
Hi, did someone tried to put a plastic cover over this skin? Does it get affected by the operation?
Thanks
Just applied a skin ordered from Xtreme Skins (carved charcoal).
I must say it fits the white poco with the silver bezel quite well.
It's nice to the touch and grippy due to the structure; also very fingerprint resistant.
You can clearly see the white colour of your phone... Skin not being aligned around flash light. As well you missed the ring around camera module...
Thanks
Got a black glossy version, applied in seconds.
Looks great and has amazing grip in my hands. Not too expansive related to quality so my vote in pool will be positive.
My only tought is that they will not last more than few weeks, due to the fact they are made in a rubber-film and they will easily been scratched..
(sorry for my awful pics but I cant take pictures of poco's back with is own camera :silly: )

Actually the skin is aligned perfectly around the flashlight.
The photo has been taken from a slight angle, that is why the white colour is visible. Other than that the skin is aligned perfectly around the flashlight if I look from top with the phone on a flat surface.
Btw the camera ring was not meant to be skinned in the first place
For me the result is quite good and it looks better in person than on photos.
Well i would like to include my honest review also. I've never purchased nor applied any skin on any of my devices till some days ago. I wanted to try XtremeSkins and got the Carbon Fiber which i failed to apply, totally my fault. I wrote an email to their support telling them what happened and i received an response within some hours from Lee which asked me if i want a refund which i didn't as it was my fault. I ended up receiving two skins instead of one even that the fault was at me struggling to apply it and not at the skin, i applied one of them immediately and everything's starting from the grip to the feeling is perfect. I did heard that their support is good but i think that's not enough, they rock at dealing with customers that's why i'll continue to order from them and recommend their skins to anyone that's interested in quality and good support.
