Hi guys, I'm going to buy a carbon skin for my g4, tired of bulky cases. I already know dbrand, but never buyed anything. Slickwraps is new for me, the price is the same 19$ and it also has side and power button protection, but the price is for complete package (front, rear, side) and I only need rear and maybe side (11$ on dbrand but without side and power button). Someone already tried these skins for his g4?
You have a Dbrand review right in this forum page.

I have used both dbrand and Slickwraps before.
Honestly both are nice but dbrand seemed to always have better aligned cutouts.
Before the fake accounts come rushing in we suggest giving us a peek.
Not only do we have have the best warranty we stand 100% behind our products.

Is it really a question?! Slackwraps sux DBRAND RULZ
(And no, this is not a fake account. You guys just don't have dbrand's swag.)
I have bought two dbrand skins for my G4 (wood and carbon fiber) and love them. They both look and feel great. Unfortunately I can not say anything about slickwraps because I never tried them. But I can definitely recommend dbrand.

Both are nice.
I have used both brands quite a few times and can honestly say that either is worth the small price they ask.
I do think dbrand has slightly better aligned cutouts, but slickwraps cutouts are not bad at all.
@slickwraps if you want to change my mind send me one of your skins to test and I will put up a review for it.

Why wouldn't anyone discuss which other redmi 4 or even redmi 3 types hv similar screens? So we can switch buying that type's tempered glass instead, esp when it is cheaper or more readily available

Because it makes no sense..
I think every redmi got an other place for camera and earpiece.
Not only the screensize is important.

Those who have the Xiaomi Redmi NOTE 4X, I trying to get a hold of protection that lines up with all ports and sensors.
I'm looking for advice on purchasing;
1) A rugged case for the Note 4X, similar to the level of protection an Otterbox would provide.
2) A full coverage (covers rounded edges and upper/lower areas of front) 2.5D tempered glass screen protector.
Amazon has limited options and eBay's options are confusing as they contain same/similar names of other devices, most/all of which will not line up properly with the 4X.
All help is greatly appreciated, thank you very much in advance.
U can get good edge to edge tempered glass from ebay.in but they have slight dotted like design on whole glass(Not that visible). If that doesn't bother u, u can get it. I am using it.
Thank you!

Would not recommend this, bought it and it is not of good quality.
I do not know all of the cases that is available for Redmi Note 4X, but for ruggedness and protection, I would recommend looking for an Element Solace case for Redmi Note 4x. It has actual aluminum edges for drop protection and it's secured by screws.

Love this case best one I've used so far. Also the hybrid tempered glass with carbon fiber edges is the best glass I've used and curves to match the screen. I reviewed it in the tempered glass thread.
https://m.aliexpress.com/s/item/327...creen-Protector&spm=2114.01010208.8.55.DLhuOj
Hey there, I've been obsessing with clear cases lately to show off the blue back. So far I haven't found any with rigid feel to it. I also want the case to have raised edges on the front, which would protect the screen when I put my phone face-down.
Any suggestions?
Try Cafele Glass case

Try to search the case from Tokopedia.com/Aliexpress and why don't you try Nilkin Frosted Case?

Nilkin Frosted isn't transparent. It doesn't have button overlay for my buttons, so no.

I don't think now there is plastic cover, but metal is better.
I am a big fan of imak soft clear tpu cases. Been using them for the last three phones. Easy to remove to insert a second sim.
Don't feel hard.

Thank you. But the problem is, I want it to feel hard to give that feeling of "good protection". The case you suggest seems flexible, but how flexible? Is it just as flexible as the one provided by Xiaomi in the box?

I know metal is better, I'd like a metal case too, even a metal bumper would be nicer. Anything comes to mind?
>Metal is better
No it's not. It causes massive massive issues with Wifi/4g/GPS receiption
None that's good enough to date.

It may take more time for the case manufacturers to realise the Xiaomi Mi 8 even exists unlike the top two brands.
In hope they'll make hybrid transparent cases, I'm keeping an eye on Olixar ExoShield Crystal Clear.
Earlier this year, I purchased an OnePlus 6 (not for myself) and I also ordered a Ringke Fusion and a Spigen Ultra Hybrid so this other person can decide which is best and use the other for spare. Due to time constraints and after watching an idiotic YouTuber smacking his phone on the desk, I also purchased an Olixar ExoShield Crystal Clear.
Spigen's edges seems slippery, ever conscious it'll fall out of my hand, the case fitted oaky. The Ringke Fusion seems gimmicky, it fitted better but it gives an impression it'll not protect the device when dropped.
Olixar, a relatively new company, I thought would not match the quality of the two better known brands.
To my surprise, this ExoShield fitted just perfectly, the tranparency was very clear as glass and the polycarbonate has a non scratch coating and non yellowing material but the most impressive thing of all is the edges have non slip material, it seems to want to hold my hand. This ExoShield was most impressive, difficult to describe with words.
It reminded me of my old Nexus 5 case Tech21 Impactology hybrid case (with trasluscent red/orange edges).
As I usually don't use glass screen protectors, this ExoShield will greatly help to protect the device so hopefully Olixar will make this model for the Mi 8.
I'm still waiting in hope that Olixar or Tech21 will have future offerings.
Psssssssssst. maybe if we all bombard/spam them, they'll take notice and bring out a model for Mi 8 ?

I tweeted Spigen asking for a Hybrid Crystal (?) Case, as I've used it before & they say "We'll see about that" which I think probably means "bye" so... Unless many many Mi 8 users actually care to voice their opinion I don't think they'd do anything (・へ・)

Still early days for the Western World to realise Xiaomi will become Big and with their aggressive pricing Xiaomi will eventually overtake all. Hopefully accessories suppliers will begin to supply the demand, just as OnePlus and Huawei had few quality accessories in the beginning out here in the Wild West.
What's not logical and incomprehensible is why Xiaomi doesn't have their own line of accessories. I for one am willing to pay for a quality case instead of those Chinese $1 junk (no disrespect, I'm also Chinese).
So, it does seem we need to enter Official Xiaomi Forum and stoke up some embers to recruit/entice owners to pestering.

Agree with ya. Xiaomi certainly has the brand name. I'd love that they make as many various cases for their (flagship at least) phones. I'd buy & trust those much more than the junk spam on Chinese retail websites :/
That being said, what Xiaomi is lacking right now is supply chain to penetrate western market. I truly hope for that
Nillkin nature tpu case is pretty thin and soft. Very similar to the soft case that comes with the MI 8.
Cafele transparent tpu case is a bit stiffer around the edges and does raise above the display.
Also looks good with the light color accents.
I'm preferring the Cafele one over stock xiaomi and the nillkin nature shell.

These AliExpress offering are so cheap that I purchased nearly all the clear models to try and all went into the bin.
They are not robust, doesn't offer a sense of security when in the hand.
I have an Olixar ExoShield Crystal Clear model for an OnePlus 6, liked it so much I purchased the same model for an iPhone and now hoping they will make the same model for the Mi 8.
Link is to a silly video review but rather humourous, @ 4:07-4:08/5:50 he hits the phone on the desk, I did that and it seems to bounce, more rubber than harder TPU material but the most impressive thing of all is the tactile non slip material.
I'd settle for a Ringke Fusion Clear or a Spigen Ultra Hybrid Crystal but given the choice the Olixar will be at the top of the list because of its edge.

Had a Ringke Fusion on my Xperia X Performance, yeah that one was p. good.
But like you said not much one can do wrong at 3$ with free shipping.

Hey guys I know how much y'all fellow POCO lovers luv the Poco F1. As much as you all love the phone I'm sure the phone's safety and well-being. I've researched for quite some months now and I couldn't find a case to my liking and taste (except the Spigen one, still it lacks somewhere I feel)
You all know about **DBRAND** they started making some amazing cases for phones named GRIP and screen protectors called PRISM if you all guys could contact them they will start making some products for our Poco F1 as well
Just go to contact, select new product request category and send them a request
done mate. the grip would be awesome on poc.
