Case Megathread - Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Accessor

I think we should try to keep case discussions in one place. Please post your experiences with Redmi Note 9 cases!
Personally, I'm currently using the one in the box, but I was looking to maybe get something a little fancier. Although, to be honest, it's been significantly improved from past phones, it fits a lot more snuggly!
Anyone have any good cases with a kickstand to recommend maybe?

I got the Nillkin textured nylon fiber case from the official mi store. It's not too bulky but still seems to provide good protection and it feels so good in the hand imo.

I got one of these, good coverage and protection and has a clear back so you can still enjoy the rear panel colour. Also a ring/kick stand which is handy.

Is this one raised up around the back cam to protect it a bit? ?

Its raised around it a bit but camera still sits out a bit. I got a tempered glass screen protector which also came with a protector for the camera lens, so I've got some added protection too.

Cool case, thanks for sharing! I'll consider picking one up as well. Have you noticed any difference in Camera quality now that you have a tempered glass protector on top? I'm kinda concerned I'm gonna crack the module given how much it's protruding...

I'm very happy with it, good protection but doesn't add too much bulk. I havent noticed any difference with the camera, once its applied you wouldnt know its there to be honest.

I finally came across this one on Amazon. It actually comes out far enough to protect the camera bump and has a deep enough lip in the front to allow a tempered glass screen protector and still not touch the table if face down. Even though it is one piece it comes in seven colors.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro Max Case, TPU +PC Iron Armor Shockproof Designed Case,Full Body Dual Layer Rugged Cover for Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro/Redmi Note 9s/Redmi Note 9 Pro Max Case (Black)

Just yesterday I switched from the included case to a Nillkin Frosted Shield.
Never had a Nillkin case before so thought I'd give it a go. Seems OK for the price but did take 58 days for delivery to Australia, due to Covid I suspect.
The phone fits snuggly into the case and the cutouts are almost perfect but I'm not quite sure that it's the case that I'll be staying with.
Looking for something that feels a bit more grippy in the hand as I tend to drop my phone's a lot. And I'd feel more comfortable with something that also adds a little more protection from falls.
The Nillkin is nice enough, and affordable enough, for those who aren't as clumsy as me, but I'm sure there's better out there for those who are all thumbs.

Yes it covers the camera with a small bump so it won't hit the table. Same with the front. If you put glass screen protectors on front and back they will align exactly with the bumps.

I got this for my Note 9S. Got it for around $3
The build quality is not bad for its price. Its platic blue layer is not loose; will not fall or crack anytime soon. I can trust it if I drop my phone.
The bump between the case and the screen isn't quite deep so its recommended to use a thin screen protector.
In contrast, the camera bump is good even with a glass protector applied.
The ring can be used as a stand for portrait (only one angle) and landscape (two angle but one is a little bit unstable)
It does make the phone a little bit thick but its not something that will make it bulky when I put it on my side pocket.

Already collected some cases for my phone
- Ringke Fusion X, this is also good for best protection with slim profile
- Spigen Liquid Clear
- Spigen Tough Armor, by far best rugged case for note9pro
- Spigen Rugger Armor

It's Nillkin, you can slide for covering camera.. ,really nice, I want to buy it... ???

I've got this one.
No idea who is manufacturer.
It costed about 6,7 € (7,7 USD)

If you want quality then i suggest you go for Spigen or Ringke case. I've bought one of spigen case for my samsung galaxy s7 and it's still solid (not getting soft like cheap case) even after 1 year.

I got this case, costs around $2. Covers the camera too. Fits quite nice.

I got a Spigen case off eBay, its saved my phone from many drops. Would definitely purchase Spigen cases again whenever I change phones.

Stylish but Protective Case?

I'm looking for a GOOD case that will provide a considerable amount of protection for my S4 while maintaining a nice look and somewhat slim profile. After my research I haven't really found many that meet these criteria. Do you guys have any suggestions?

Well, how much protection are you looking for?
If you're look at 810g stuff with a 6 foot drop rating, that limits you right there.
If all you're worried about is small dings, not drops, then go with anything that looks cool because i think everything else is just about the same except for style. As long as it covers the sides, gives you a lip over the screen (big doesn't matter) as long as you have a good screen protector. if you end up dropping it on an uneven surface there's very little protection the lip with give you, it will be a matter of your screen protector.
You could go with zagg or some other "military grade" scratch proof, nearly pierce proof stuff.

I have a Spigen Ultra Crystal Screen Protector I believe. Is comparable to the Zagg? And in that case, would I be good with a Spigen Neo Hybrid? That case is beautiful but it doesn't look very protective

you should see the video zagg has on their invisishield scratch test. Will give you an idea of what kind of protection you're getting. Not familiar with the Ultra Crystal Screen Protector in comparison.
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
There are others like zagg out there, spigen's version of it is probably invisible shield.
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...-screen-body-protector-incredible-shield.html
The neo hydrid will give you edge protection and back scratch protection, might not help with a big fall. Since the back plate isn't going to crack or break, you're really looking at good edge protection and shock protection.
For all intents and purposes, your current screen protector should be fine. If it ends up being pierced, it might leave pocks or scratch on your screen though.
All shock protection will end up being a big case which you don't want, so forego the shock. The neohybrid should be fine for what you want.

I have the Slim Armor View and it is awesome. Very stylish, sleek, slim, and I'm completely confident in its protective capabilities. It's the only case I know of that will protect your screen in a fall.

Slimmest Case Available for the S6

If I end up getting an S6, I'll probably want the slimmest case possible since I won't need uber-protection nor do I wish to add a lot more bulk.
These are the three I'm currently considering:
1) Obliq Ultra Slim Fit
http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Spigen...UTF8&qid=1426904642&sr=8-6&keywords=spigen+s6

}
2) Spigen Galaxy Slim Fit
http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Spigen...UTF8&qid=1426904642&sr=8-6&keywords=spigen+s6
3) Ringke SLIM case
http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-S6-Cas...e=UTF8&qid=1427082439&sr=8-2&keywords=slim+s6
And just an FYI - I bought a Ringke SLIM case for my Note 4 and what I noticed was that it leaves scratch marks when you try to remove it.
I now use my Note 4 naked, but for the S6 I don't think that's the way I'll go, especially with all that glass material and the phone itself being such a finger print magnet.
Let me know which slim cases you're considering and if there's others out there.
the slimmest would be the Spigen Ultra thin, http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QU4N7AK/, which Spigen claims to be the "thinnest on the market"

The last one looks pretty nice.
That's actually quite nice, but not sure if I'm a fan of the buttons. I like using the actual phone buttons.
I'm planing to purchase Ringke or Spigen cases but I'm not sure about their wireless charging capability. Any ideas?

in this case is where thin would be best. hard to say which will work and which won't but im pretty sure the one like i posted above (spigen) will work because it's fairly thin.

i am the opposite. after having the Spigen Neo Hybrid on my S4/S5, it make pushing the buttons so much easier than having them recessed due to the case.

So, basically, what you're saying is that the "clickity click" feel when you press the button is still solid and pronounced?
May have to give it a try then...
the obliq slim case for this phone looks extremely nice. i'm probably going to pick that one up as it offers protection on top corners for the phone and fits snug all around it. just my opinion
Obliq went down to 9.99 on Amazon
Picked up that and spigen to test them out. Will return one of them

This one looks really slim! The Smoke-White version on a white Galaxy S6 looks amazing and also invisible! I just don't like the logo on the side, i wish they didn't put any logo on it... If i buy a 700€ phone, then i really don't need the logo of a 10$ case on it.

Any suggestions?

the Spigen Neo Hybrid is probably one of the best cases because it's fairly thin, has nice "clicky" buttons and offers all around protection without all the bulk. it has separate cutouts for camera and sensor.. plus it's nice as hell, especially the slate color, i ordered one and received it yesterday...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QU4Q31A/
Spigen also makes just a bumper (Neo Hybrid EX) without a backing which is also pretty nice..

I don't really understand the idea of bumpers. All of the size is still added both around the phone and in depth so there is no value not having the back
I ordered the rearth slims and the spigen ultra slim clear tpu one. Supposed to be here this coming week.
I've always been a fan of the rearth/ringke slims on all recent phones. They are the best compromise of decent protection and slimness imo. Looking forward yo trying out the super thin spigen clear tpu one too

while that is kind of true, bumpers allows you to have some protection while still keeping the device fairely naked so you don't cover all that "fancy" glass back.
The spigen ultra slim looks and feels very nice on the phone. Sending the other clear cases I have back. They all came with a protective film you're supposed to slap on the back of the phone to protect it from the case itself. The spigen has this micro pattern embedded into the back of the case, it's hard to explain but it looks good and seems like whatever they put on the back of the case protects the glass on the back of the s6 from smudging up against the clear tpu

good to hear. this is why i tell everyone to just buy Spigen and save the hassle from buying a dozen different other cases to still not like them, buy once and be done, Spigen rarely ever disappoints and if you're not happy for whatever reason just contact them and they will take care of you.

Xiaomi Mi Max Accessories Discussion

Just want to ask if anyone bought any good screen protector / cases / etc that fits nicely or have good quality and where they got them.
Well for me,
I found this PZOZ Tempered Glass protector from aliexpress and it works really well
Like I've tried around 3-4 other brands (also from aliexpress) that have cuts that doesn't fit completely due to the 2.5D glass
This PZOZ one covers up the annoying black border around the phone too
Only con is that the white is a little bit too transparent so u can see through it (like you can see the black border behind)
It was really easy to set up and comes with the microfiber cloth/alcohol wipe/sticker and I've pulled and re pasted a few times with no problems .
Also found a frosted TPU case on aliexpress that fix nicely with all the cut out and it was much better quality compared to the normal TPU cases u can find cheaply all over aliexpress
Not sure If i'm allowed to post links but if anyone is interested you can pm me
Was thinking of grabbing an VR headset for Mi Max but it seems like there's just a few that barely supports the size so i'm unsure
Hi, I'm interested in buying some glass protector and a case can you send me the links?

Anyway I am using Xiaomi original TPU case and after a month with it I wouldn't recommend it. It was perfect fit when new but got too loose.
Just bought Nillkin super frosted shield case and I am pretty sure(hope) it's better than Xiaomi one. At least it's a hard case... what I prefer.

Could you send me the link for the screen protector please.Thank you.
I got this one today from eBay.
It sucks. It doesn't fit edge to edge, which is expected because of the curved glass, but even so, it still lifts up on the sides a lot. It went straight in the trash.
Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk
Bought a Nillkin protector today. Should be the best one available. I have one of these now and it feels cheep. Feels more like plastic than tempered glass. Also the oleophobic coating is bad and there's a vertical wide line where there's no coating at all so that area gets dirty all the time. It also has some annoying dot pattern over the whole screen area that can be seen very easily. Not impressed. The only good thing about it is that it covers the black frame although it's a bit transparent so you can see through it a little. Overall low quality of everyting but it works as protection.

Yep... As I expected this is an excellent case if you like that kind of cases. Perfect fit, excellent grip and fill, no more pushing buttons accidently when grabbing the phone... And keeps the device slick design.
Using soft TPU gel transparent case, i like to see the original beauty of the phone
I got this clear plastic hard case delivered today and for me its perfect. Slim, unobtrusive and gets the job done. Also the price means that if I accidentally scratch or crack it then I can just throw it away and get another one.

Using same, but black.
I have a very big spot in the middle of the screen, not air bubbles, but from the liquid stuff used for it to make it stick to the screen (I guess).
It is very annoying. I will probably take it off. Anyone know what I can use to reapply it, if I take it off and try to clean it?
It's my 3rd glass with issues. Had too small, not applying on sides, now it fits well, no air, but stupid spot issue.

I removed it, cleaned the back side of it without touching the edges that have some kind of glue on them, reapplied and now no more spots.

Im looking for a black tampered glass protector in India. But to no avail, most products I managed to are plagued with bad reviews

Share your case.

Hi, I usually don't use cases as I don't see a point of buying a beautiful phone for a lot of money just to cover it with an ugly case. However Xperia 1 is so slippery that unfortunately I will have to buy a case or it won't last long.
Could you guys share the cases you use, preferably with some photos. I don't think there is a lot of choice at the moment as the device is relatively new, nevertheless new models coming out daily and won't hurt if we have a thread to showcase our purchases.
Personally I always buy the thinnest case possible. My previous device was pixel 2 xl and this was a case I had:
Fone-Stuff[emoji2400] Google Pixel 2 XL Case, Ultra-Thin 0.3mm Stylish Fully Protective Case Cover, Thinnest Hard Back Cover, Super Slim Matte Finish Extra Camera Protection, White https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0777QHGSV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_4YCiDbSQX2SDP
Very thin and I liked it very much. Unfortunately I can't find anything similar for the xperia 1, ordered this one:
Olixar - Clear Case Compatible with Sony Xperia 1 - Slim Gel - Ultra Thin Transparent Cover - 100% Crystal Clear - Flexible Slim Protection - Non Slip - Clear https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07M7DNG16/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_U0CiDbK7BXF7D
Unfortunately, despite claiming to be ultra thin it's actually a regular silicon case.
Looking forward to your recommendations.

Interesting post, I will not put a case in it since I have a good grip on it thank to its really narrowness, and it feels far less slippery than my previous mate 10 pro. But I'm interested to see what you guys choosed.
Problem with transparent case is they stay transparent for like 3 months then turn yellowish.
The sony case is just overpriced at 57€ and heavy (+60g).
I just hope the paint on the edge will last long. The back with gorilla glass 6 should resist well. But I hope edge paint is epoxy or strong like this.
I found out a lot of case for Xperia 1 are labeled for Xperia XZ4. It adds other options when you search for it.
I bought this.
https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B07RW7TM9Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It consists of a gel case and a glass film. It took two weeks to arrive, then I only use it occasionally, I prefer bare contact in the end, I threw the front glass because there are halos in the thin part of the front curve, unacceptable.
I bought this one few days ago:
SLEO Case for Sony Xperia 1 Case - Rubberized Hard PC Back Case Cover for Sony Xperia 1 - Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07KXJ2SQ8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_qp5kDbNYE7JT4
Very happy with it. Very minimal, how I like it. Only downside is that it's almost as slippery as the phone itself.

The case is not included in all units, only for the J9110 units.
Bought this one few weeks ago:
€ 0,89 21%OFF | For Sony Xperia 1 Case Sony 1 Case Soft Silicone Back Cover Phone Case For Sony Xperia 1 Xperia1 Sony1 J8110 J8170 J9110
https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/xQTo6rI
Really slim and strong
Fits perfect
Just had this case delivered. Nillkin super frosted shield. Fantastic fit and finish. Feels great on the phone. Best case yet, far nicer feel than the TPU cases which in my opinion end up feeling greasy and dirty.

Don't generally buy cases anymore and haven't bought one for the Xperia 1 either however, I've used Nilkin cases in the past and they have always been of good quality and fit very well. That is the case I'd go for this time if i was going to get one.
Are there any good rugged cases out yet?

Check these out: (from a Japanese case maker, the total price including shipping to my country is still cheaper than the cheapest UAG case)
Black: https://global.rakuten.com/en/store/compmoto-r/item/4549550129305/
Red: https://global.rakuten.com/en/store/compmoto-r/item/4549550129312/

Picked up this slim case https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T34TPYB/ref=twister_B07W1VLKTW?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 in red
I don't like bulky cases. I got it because I wanted open access to the buttons so the half-press camera button will work just fine.
It is smooth and a bit slippery actually. No drop protection (what do you expect). Pretty good for the price. The other colors like gravel green will have more of a standstone finish though
The rasta banana case is great!

Another case I picked up on Amazon.
The Aeska clear TPU case
Pros:
- Grippy
- Cheap
- 3 colors (purple, black and clear)
- Easy to access the FP scanner (it's not deep)
Cons:
- You lose the camera shutter button feel. Hard to determine the half press
- Power button also a little more difficult to press now.
This basic hard clear PC case is my favorite.

Pros:
- Clear
- Slim, so no bulk!
- Open, easy accessible sides for buttons
- Cheap
Cons:
- Picks up grease/oils from your fingers
- Not very protective

I have just purchased it (zeroshock black) from Amazon Japan directly with international shipping, looks promising.
Got this case for my recently acquired X1:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MBMPQBN/
It's a little pricey for such a basic thin case, but I didn't want to use my phone without a case, and AliExpress would've taken a month to deliver.
Contrary to popular opinion, I actually like the exposed top/bottom of the phone, since the case doesn't wrap around the entire frame, it's not that bulky and I really like thin and minimal cases. No weird branding on the back like many other cases have.
I got it in 'Smooth Black', but I probably should've gotten 'Matte Black' which may have been less slippery than this.
Since it was a really nice case, I might get the blue or green one if I eventually get bored of this all black look.
i hate this case...caus it feels so weird in hand while the phone is not fully framed
i like to get this one from Black Rock i have for my S9 ultra sin
This is similar.

Screen Protectors & Cases

Anyone have one yet and have some good suggestions? I'm waiting for mine to arrive and don't see alot of options (that I like) on Amazon but so far I ordered these to start:
Screen Protector
Case
Phone and case today came in today .. Good fit and no complaints...same case you ordered...

Ordered the Ailiber case, glass screen protector and holster from Amazon. Seems like a good deal at $12.99 until Encased comes out with theirs (which I'm waiting for). According to Amazon there are 19 left and the manufacturer isn't producing any more.
i grabbed the spigen tempered glass screen protector, 2pack used em on both our phones that came today, comes with a frame you use to make alignment easier, honestly easiest screen protector ive ever put on. not sure what i want for a case yet
Just got the official fabric case, feels great, love it. Feels like i have a Nest Speaker in my end haha, same material it seems.
The case seems strong and is slim enough, goes a bit over the display, just like it should to be able to put the device face down, but not too much.
It almost exactly matches the camera bump in terms of height, like a quarter of a millimeter thicker so the glass doesn't touch whatever you put your device on.
All in all, very satisfied.
I have used Spigen Rugged Armor cases for 5 different devices including the 4a5G and am extremely happy with these.
NONZERS screen glass protectors are OKish, as they fit nicely, but the hole for the front camera is a little bit off. The 3 pack come with a mounting frame which makes installation a 30 second task.
Problem with LK screen protectors
So I've noticed this with LK screen protectors. There is always a small tiny piece on the edges that never really properly seals. I've used the same brand on the 4A and the same thing is there as well. Now, to be honest I did take the phone out of the case and went over the spots with a micro fiber cloth and one of them seemed to go away. If you're OCD then it will bug you. If not then it's fine. @zaibas do you have this issue with your Spiegen glass protector?
*Also maybe the case that I'm using but it does collect lint/dust on the edges. Nothing a quick wipedown can't fix.

As crazy as this sounds, I had the same problem on my current iphone se2 and a little olive oil on a qtip fills the gap nicely. I followed someone's guide on youtube and it came out great. 6 months later it doesn't look as good as the day I did it but it's still way better than when I first put the screen protector on, It was a huge ring around the entire screen and looked terrible

Thanks for posting this! I saw this some years ago, mine is miniscule now so I may just decide to live with it.

So fresh and so clean!! A little patience and a hairdryer is all you need.

Very clean look bro.
I personally like a case and I always find a clear tpu to be the most grippy. I'm currently going between:
TopAce slim TPU: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08H26MD28/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Spigen (thicker) Ultra Hybrid: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08D65BG5X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The Spigen provides a little more protection, while the slimmer one is kinda nice in the hand considering how wide this phone already is.

Spigen Liquid Air Armor..
Any word on Spigen thin/slim or Ringke slim? The matte black ones that have a soft texture, feel grippy and are very thin.
If not any similar recommendations with good grip and thin?
Sure aren't many 4A (5G) cases to choose from on Amazon. I have the one from Huness coming on Monday for $9. But what about going caseless? Any ideas how scratch resistant the plastic core case is?
I ordered this one, at least until better ones show up. Or maybe it's good enough.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08K76KN4C/
I need a case because I have a metal plate for the magnet mount in the car. Also, protecting the phone is a good idea when trade-ins come along. My P2XL from 3 yrs ago is still in mint condition and took advantage of the $240 trade-in value for it at the Google Store.
Took plunge from 2XL with $235 trade. Phone still does everything I could ask, just no more updates. Anyone see a difference/downgrade in resolution?
Some stuff sold out on Amazon. Wanted thin case. Went to Spigen direct
https://www.spigen.com/collections/pixel-4a
30% off still active for BF.
Went ahead and got everything here. Liquid Armor, and glass for screen and camera.
Glass seems way expensive compared to what is available in Amazon. Anyone think there is a difference/worth the cost?
Camera protector is new to me. Might as well. Apple rejected a trade in last year because lens cover was cracked.
Liquid Armor...slim and textured with Adequate protection. First time in several generations of devices that I will not have a Diztronic case. Always loved them.
Have also grown used to sticking a pop-up handle on the back. Used to think they are gimmicky....but quickly grew used to it. Still slides in pocket. Really helps with one handed operation and makes phone way more secure in hand. Works as kickstand also! Wonder if there will be a problem with it sticking to the textured back of Liquid Armor?

I too think the screen in the P2XL is somewhat better when it comes to font crispness and contrast black on white. Colors seem a bit better on the 4a 5G.
I also agree that I could have gotten another year out of the P2XL if not for lack of updates.
It doesn't feel that the 4a 5G is an upgrade, more like a sideways move.

I got the spigen glass screen protector, and case. I agree the template to install the glass was awesome, and my application looks perfect. Also the case fits perfect around the screen cover. I am glad I went with a name brand, vs crappy stuff off ebay.
