Accessories Not a lot of choices for cases? - Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro

I usually buy my cases from either Amazon or eBay but there are realistically only a few different options for me in the region I'm in. There's either those "wallet" cases with different designs on which I find awkward to hold sometimes (for taking pictures) or the see-through silicone ones which I don't like the look of. The only one I've found that I actually like is this one. I have a relative that has the same case for another phone and it's pretty nice. Has anyone experienced overheating with a thick case? I've only used my phone for browsing and can sometimes feel it getting pretty warm.
What case are you guys using??

I got a pretty nice case from AliExpress, there's an abundance of designs

If you can wait a month to get it! It's a shame companies like Otterbox don't make any..

I also found that having a round camera cutout leads to lots of dust accumulating in it, I personally got myself this

The link doesn't redirect me to anywhere, says it's blocked. But I read the url and think I know what you mean from the title of the product. I do actually like something like this though.

Didn't notice more heat compared to no case, so wouldn't say that's an issue. Compared to a lot other Xiaomi phones, this one has plastic body, so can't necessarily say you're hindering cooling by putting the case on it. Also when you're gaming you can just take it off if you're concerned. But getting warm is normal, most processors are designed to work at under 99°C, but I didn't do my research on mobile hardware in terms of heat tolerance, so don't just blindly trust me on this.

Fair enough, I'll look into it a little more but I do remember people saying something about it overheating because of the processor. I haven't had a new phone in 6 years so I'm used to a ****ty little phone that rarely if ever got considerably warm.

Yea I noticed that Spigen have a metal one for £16 but it's a little pricey. I bought a cheaper silicone one for now.

Okay... Here we go! Got the cases and the phone!
From Left to right: Transparent PU Case that came with the phone; Zroteve hard case; Silicon Case; Keysion Case.
Backside:
Not gonna make any Pictures of the transparent one as everyone should have it.... IMHO it feels too rubbery and looks ugly. The only positive thing MIGHT be the cover for the MicroUSB port..... not for the 3.5mm jack though...
Zroteve hard case​The Zroteve Case is the only hard plastic case in this lineup. If you prefere a really sleek case and don't like the rubbery feel of all the others, this might be for you. For me the feel of the volume buttons just doesn't feel right. except from that and that it doesn't protect the screen if you drop it a really good case.
Spoiler: Pictures
Silicon Case​A big and bulky Case that doesn't look like anything on the advertisement pictures... but hey thats on a different phone.
It's kinda big and edgy with huge corners even on the back it's shaped more like a square than rounded. It certainly looks like it would provide awesome fall protection.
IMHO the powerbutton is too deep into the case and the volume buttons feel absolutly horrible to press. The bulky corners make the whole phone uncomfortable to hold.
Spoiler: Pictures
Keysion fake leather case​IMHO the Best case out of the four. The round edges feel nice and the whole phone is comfortable to hold. The Backside only looks like leather but doesn't really feel rubbery like the silicon case.
The Powerbutton is easyily accesible your thumb just slides into the right position. the Volume buttons give a nice click feedback. the case is slightly protruding, protecting the screen from falling or facing it upside down on the table. The only downside might be that the Volumebuttons are only connected in the middle... so it might be possible that the whole thingy might break out after years of usage. But the case is cheap enough that such a thing doesn't really matter.
i'm gonna try this for a week or two and see how it holds up.
Spoiler: Pictures

Changed a few cases around, nothing special, most of them quite useless, but Spigen surprised me as actually being a bit of a crappy case, IMHO. Slippery, not much protection.
Finally got around to Ringke Fusion X. Now, this biaaach is sturdy. Like it quite a bit. Got the black one with the transparent back, and the only thing I can find fault with is that the transparent back attracts fingerprints as much as the screen. Other than that, a 5 outta 5 score from me. Will be keeping this one on the phone until it desintegrates.
Also using an edge to edge protective tempered glass. Case has enough lip to protect the screen in case I drop it.

I had 1 case ****canned it. Don't use cases now, the manufactures go through so much design to make these phones fit and be slim it is almost a shame to put a case on it. I have dropped mine at least 8 times a few little dings, I wash it daily with soap and water and have yet to have an issue..
.lovemeicase.com/goods.php?id=74[/url] I just got this case and it is awesome, plus it doubles as a crime deterrent. I bought it off eBay though for only 25 I only knew about these cases because I had one for my iPhone 5.

Soap is not good on the phone my friend.
Body Glove case. Really nice grip, anti microbial, and feels very high quality. Snugs the phone tight. Also have the ZAGG glass protector and it works fine with it.
Spigen Tough Armor Case - Gunmetal
This case provide good protection and is very compact. I dropped my phone once and it seemed to provide very good protection.
The buttons are easy to press and I actually like the buttons are flat along the edge of the case, so the chance to mistakenly press the buttons is less!
The cutouts are very good. There are 4 tiny bumps at the back corners that prevent the back from scratches and lift the speaker a little bit above the surface you placed on, so less damping to the speaker.
This case feels high quality made, easy to hold in the hand, and looks good.
Agreed

I actually bought this case before I even bought the phone! It just gives the phone a rugged look and feel. With the phone by itself I didn't necessarily care for the look of it and knew I wanted a case for the S5. Couldn't be happier with this purchase. I even like the ridge edges it has and makes it easier to grip.
My newest spigen case in my collection.
Picked this up from a Cellaris kiosk in the mall.. Had one on my note 2 for the last year and it did an excellent job protecting my phone, so I went back and got one for my S5, I love the kick stand, but the one on my note 2 case seemed more durable than the one on my S5 cases.
They will usually mix and match colors to suit you, and I went with this combo, for the heck of it heh.
heres a link to their webpage, they have other colors at the kiosk, but you get an idea. most of the cases are cruddy, but the kiosks have otterboxes, kraken, and some other decent named cases.. this case set me back about $30.. worth it in my opinion.
http://www.amazon.com/iBOLT-xProDock-car-speakers-extended-Batteries/dp/B00AOCSFYC
cheers
I'm using the incipio teal/cyanish with grey. its kind of funny how small the phone is when I have to take it out (like 2 times now) but this thing is durable. I've dropped it and kicked it a few times and it holds up. love how it keeps my camera nice and tucked in. looks pretty cool too but it's built for abuse it seems.
These are my cases up to this moment. unfortunately, i can't use most of them since i'm using the OEM qi.

[REVIEW] Rugged Armor Case - Love Mei: Powerful

I arrived at work this morning and I'd received a new case for my Galaxy Note 4 to review! Happy days!
I'm currently dissecting it now and will update this thread later today, but first impressions.... this thing is BIG!
I've personally never seen anything with such heavy duty protection for the Note series, that's not to say they're aren't others, it's just a new one on me.
If you're scared of damaging your device, then this robust looking thing may be right up your street.
More to follow shortly while I put this thing thru it's paces.

}
PACKAGING:
The packaging is pretty decent to be fair, and definitely has a premium feel to it.
THE CASE:
Straight out of the packaging, this is what you get, they've included an Alan Key, to actually get into the thing which I think is good of them.
I've had "screw in" cases before, where you end up having to search around in the spider invested drawers of your garage just to get a key or screwdriver small enough to fit these things, so definitely a positive on that front.
Open up the case here is what you get inside:
Two Lanyards
An alcohol wipe
Cloth
Spare screws
And a second Alan Key
It's simply a case of unscrewing the screws and dropping your phone in
The inside part where the phone sits is rubber, with parts of it made into a honeycomb mesh, I'd say there's about 1CM of the stuff that separates the phone from the outside world once fitted.
The other materials used are aluminum for the front and back plate and it also has it's own glass protector which states to be Gorilla Glass, I can't confirm or disprove this but it's definitely glass.
The glass itself is clear and does not impair viewing and because the glass is attached to the case and not adhered to the screen, you do not get the "halo effect" associated with the current tempered glass protectors currently on the market.
Once installed get ready to start weight lifting, the whole thing together is "HEAVY", most definitely not something you'd want to stick in the top pocket of your shirt.
The only part not covered by this case is the rear camera, but is protected to a degree, as it's set back from the surface of the case.
Because the whole phone is enclosed, you have some raised capacitive buttons, to use instead of touching the phone itself, they work really well as does the responsiveness of the screen and the S-Pen on that screen, the S-Pen doesn't work with the capacitive buttons though, not a big deal but it's something to be aware of.
The ports for the Pen, USB and headphone socket are all covered by a cap of some description, the case states to be "Weather Proof" and I think it most definitely is, everything seems to lock together well, but it's not raining here (for once) so can't test this right now.
On a side note, I'm happy to report that all the cutouts for the ports and sensors are precise, everything I can see so far makes me have a feeling they've took care in creating this case.
The back of the case has a raised rubber backing, giving it some friction to stop it sliding around.
It's not as "grippy" to my bare fingertips though.
CONCLUSION:
This case in my opinion is great for those who do a lot of outdoor activities, or work in outdoor conditions and want to protect their device the best they can, this really does feel rugged and up to the challenge, in stopping rain and dust getting to your Note 4.
I personally would use, but only when I'm going to the beach or out camping/walking in the countryside with the family, not as my daily protection, for the adventurers out there, this is thing will be a great investment.
For the average person like myself, it's just two heavy and adds a substantial amount girth to the size of the Note 4 to use full time.
My everyday protection comes in the form of a Spigen Neo Hybrid, which in itself isn't exactly slender, but providing Love Mei don't ask for it back
I'll use the Powerful when I know I'm going to be going somewhere that phones are "allergic to" as this thing feels bomb proof.
Cheapest place I could find to get this was direct from them http://www.lovemeicases.com/love-mei-powerful-bumper-for-galaxy-note-4/ at $49.99
I like he case, but the branding on the front is the big turn off for me.

I know, mental ain't it! you need to have big hands to handle this with one hand, I'm 6.1" have sizeable hands and can just manage to handle it.
These cases were originally copied from a company called Lunatik.
Lunatik really dropped the ball making anything outside of the iPhone only cases.
That Note 4 version sure looks huge. Makes the Defender look slim.
A kickstand would have been nice. If it had a holster I'd buy it. I particularly like the glass protection screen considering there isn't a glass protector that fits properly w/o a halo available and I like the water resistant feature. Did you test it making calls and know your voice doesn't sound muffled?
From a bulk standpoint it doesn't look any bulkier than any other highly protective case like the Defender for example.
I see where others are talking about seeing the case, but I don't see any pictures that are posted. Were they taken down?

We only get the black and glacier in the UK. It's a bit of pain to order from the US because I always end up paying custom fees and the case itself is pricey already. And then I don't want to buy from a reseller because I am not aware of any reputable ones. You never know whether it will be genuine. I bought one for my S4 and it was a really bad clone. Oh well!

I always put a rugged case on my new phones for a couple of months. By then I have my eye on something new. Then I take off the bulky case and enjoy the phone for a while before I sell it.
Thanks for the detail review,firstly I'm hanging on between love mei case and lunatik takkit,now I will go for love mei to have my N4 under extreme protection....
This case seems solid on protection,no other cases will have a better performance on guard...

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:
Cover Case
Leather Flip Case
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!

S10 Pitaka Aramid/Kevlar Thin & Minimalist Case [Pre-Order Discount]

Probably the best case ever, for me i have to get it whenever i get any new devices, i got it for my pixel 2 xl, s8, s9+, Note 8, iPhone 7 plus, iPhone X & iPhone Xs Max.
and i have never change to any other brands. Right now it's a good time to get the case because of the pre-order discount as it's on the pricey side. Definitely must have for thin case lovers, one of the thinnest out there but build with quality.

Looks great! Are there button cutouts? Or are they covered...

The case edge is cut out around the buttons.
I have one on my Note 8 and the vent car mount with Qi charging. Really the best setup I've ever had. The case isnt drop rated, but is SUPER thin and light, and not slick at all. WELL worth the $$

it should be like my s9+/note8 case cutouts for volume button but top and bottom wrapped.
Pitaka has a known problem with not covering the sides very well and also leaving the screen fully exposed. Many other manufacturers are at least providing raised lips on their cases at less than half the cost of Pitaka. They really need to start doing that. You won't be losing any thinness or aesthetics, but you'll gain face down screen protection, and enhanced protection from short distance falls/drops.
Other than that the design, look, feel, durability seems to be great.
True ..it’s mainly for like us who loves the thin profile and the flushed corners and sides.. not too particular about drop protection to be honest

I'm not 100% sure of the known issue you're mentioning. As far as the screen being fully exposed, personally I wouldn't want any of it "Not exposed". These cases aren't at all designed for drop protection, and frankly even if they did provide raised lips, the case material itself gives no drop protection at all, it's all very thin carbon fiber.
I think one of the challenges some of the case mfg's are faced with is these phones with the curved edges and the use of screen protectors. Seems like a design nightmare
I've had this case on my N8 from day 1 and as far as I'm concerned is one of the better cases I've ever owned and honestly is one of the main reasons I didn't get a N9 (they didn't make the case for it)

The goal isn't really drop protection as much as it is gaining the ability to put the phone face down on a surface and not worry about it getting scratched. If they were to increase the vertical coverage of the corners, topside, and bottomside of the case just enough so that it was raised 1mm an upper/lower lip, then the phone' glass wouldn't make contact with a flat surface like a table. If you were to take a naked phone and place it on a table face down and move it around a bit, you'd likely end up with a ton of scratches.
No worries, I'm working on my own 3D printed Galaxy S10 case that should resolve these shortcomings.
I actually contacted Pitaka 6 months ago asking them why they weren't already doing it on the iPhone X, and they mentioned that it would be much much harder for the user to apply the case to the phone. I asked them why Spigen was doing it for less than half the price, and then I was shunned away.
By far my favorite case I ever used. Have had one in my s9+ since the day pitaka became available
Agree, with the low profile and button cutouts it's awesome! Cheers
Looks great except the price. Have to use dbrand alone.

For those looking super thin cases. This is the thinnest in the market.
I got that before for my pixel 2xl, texture of the case feels like cheap plastic but true that it’s the thinnest around.
the pre-order discount would end any time soon.. save as much as possible!

It's fine if you don't drop your phone because it's junk if you want any type of real protection. I've had one in my hands and a piece of cardboard taped to the phone would offer the same protection.
My standard setup for every phone is Pitaka + Whitestone Dome screen protector. This adds roughly $90 to the cost of obtaining a new phone but for me, it's worth it.

Anybody know if this case may affect the reverse charging function of the s10 or s10+ since these cases have the magnet built into them ?
wow this is insanely expensive

Carbon fiber is expensive. You should see car/motorcycle parts.

Huawei P40 Pro + Cases

Hello,
I am planning to buy P40 Pro+, but for some reason I can only find good cases for P40 Pro, not Plus.
I was wondering what cases You all are using?
I am looking for good protection as I would get with UAG for example.
I have this same question, it's crazy. Some places are claiming their cases are for both the regular pro and the pro plus.

Yeah, Best Huawei phone to date and arguably best camera setup on any flagship and no decent phone cases. Pro has different cutout hole than +, btw.
So far I was able to find this two models;

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000883454262.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.62753c00dmEyrr&mp=1
Looks decent. But there really has to be more of good options out there...
Armor-X in the US has a case that supposedly fits, but I can't confirm. Armor-X has very limited availability outside of the US anyhow.
I'm surprised Spigen didn't make anything, even though I really don't like their cases. Ringke is only supplying for the normal Pro.
This is a really good option for a slick and extremely good fit. Postage was fine and received the case within a week, no problems.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bulletpr...var=554416839888&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
Ordered one of these, no idea if it's good.
https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B08BXGZ944/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_10?smid=A3CAFLJTEHGANG&psc=1
Was thinking of trying this, since I like the camera protection, potential help with flare, and the two-piece design, but it looks pretty bad.
https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B08BWXDPDN/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_9?smid=A3CAFLJTEHGANG&psc=1
Ringke and Spigen both said not planned to make cases but will pass the message onto developers.

Fujimens, I actually have this exact Honeycomb case ATM. got it locally for 15eur+shipping. Aliexpress has it for 2 and a half bucks.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001200855226.html
I'd say that it's worth 8-10. I mean it is made quite decently. Still not UAG class, but comparing it to Ringke feel, it is I'd say 2/3 as good. If that makes any sense.
But I kinda don't expect it to last more than 6 months...but hopefully I'll get some proper case by then.
Also ordered this 'fake' UAG;
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001458840169.html
Seller claims it's original, ratings are mostly positive, but the shop is a few months old, so probably fake, especially for that price.
Still, could be decent enough and better than plain silicon/TPU options out there.

The honeycomb one looks like it's one layer as opposed to the variant I showed with camera protection. Any details?
I got the other one yesterday. It more or less feels more sturdy than the Spigen and has a textured surface, so no slipping. Finish is ok, phone arrives today and I will update about the fit. Wish it was in black, though.

Got the honeycomb case, too. It is a hard plastic, a black soft liner on the edges and over the camera. Overall, not recommended unless you want a case that DOESN'T have raised edges around the screen. The other one I mentioned is much better, with the only real issue I have is that there's a polished surface around the camera module and it appears to be creating glare. The telephoto is really suseptible anyhow. The honeycomb one has a covering for the camera, which is why I got it, which helps with contrast and reducing glare. It's already kind of stretching, though, but I might take it off and apply it with a weak adhesive and use it with the more rugged case. Then I have the most perfect combination currently available.
I ordered the Spigen camera protection film, BUT they didn't punch holes for the cameras, so I returned it. They do make the wet application films for the display which are cheaper than Crocfol in Berlin. Crocfol offers a film for the camera module,but will not reply on whether holes are cut out for the camera. It's a big no-no to put films on if you are concerned about quality.

Just received Xundd one and I will not be using it. (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001119168253.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.62753c00dmEyrr&mp=1)
Black part feels nicer to the touch than much cheaper honeycomb option, but it actually makes the case noticeable more slippery. :/
Front side is protected kinda similar. So I am staying with honeycomb.
Also am at the point where I am just considering getting something for P40 and cut a bigger hole for a camera...
I have this one and it's amazing.
