nice thin case with raised lips from screen protection? - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Accessories

any thoughts? I have the opportunity to get the nillkin frost shield bundle with the phone from aliexpress and was wondering if it has raised lips to protect the display.
Also does the 2s come with installed screen protector whilst I wait for the tempered glass to make its way (separately)?
Many thanks!

My 2s came with a screen protector case. Its very nice. Im trying to find out where I would get another of the included case.

iii had a look at the unboxing videos and can't see the screen protection. I see frosty film which is taken off but not quite the same screen protector as seen on the op6 ( factory fitted ).
perhaps I'm wrong, can you kindly let me know?
many thanks!

I have the white version so my cover is white.

thanks, sorry i meant the screen protector, i suppose it's a no .
p.s. is the case raised so that the display is protected when facing down?
how do you like the phone?

The supplied case only has the very slightest lip on it, same for the camera.

No lip, its below the screen for a tenth of a milimeter.

I've got the Nilkin frosted case and the Nilkin TPU case. Both are slightly raised so you can put it facedown with no issues.

I just got the official leather case. Not super thin like the one that comes with the phone, but still feels good and it's raised above the screen.

Where did you order it? Is it raised that you can put it upside down without the screen touching the table? And also that the camera lens doesnt touch the table?

That is correct, raised from touching the screen or camera lens (and that's with a glass protector I have on the camera lens). I got it from AliExpress.

I bought a bunch of cases on gearbest but in the meantime I got this on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/AVIDET-Shock-Absorption-Flexible-Silicone-Transparent/dp/B07BFWLC5N/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1528995024&sr=8-3&keywords=clear+mi+mix+2s+case
I love clear cases especially with how beautiful this phone is. This one has raised edges so when you set it on a table face down it shouldn't be a problem. However I usually set mine back down so I can see the notification light....

Has someone bought the original Case for the Mix 2S?
https://www.oppomart.com/xiaomi/mi-...h-microfiber-lining-for-xiaomi-mi-mix-2s.html
If so how is it compared to the one that came with the phone? The one that came with the phone is very slippery, i want to get rid of that.

I've ordered this case (looks like it is a little raised from the screen): https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07B47HSMF
And this screen protector: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07C26XGV7
Will se how they work out in the following days.

I am using the Nillkin Nature TPU case which is very light but raised enough to protect this device

I ordered the below case from AlieExpress. I have the same case for my Oneplus5 and it's very solid. The fabric on the back adds extra grip and a nice texture.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Xia...356.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.4c5d4c4dOENdfe

anyone who has seen an all carbon fiber / kevlar fiber / aramid fiber case like those for these ****ing iphones?

purchased on Aliexpress
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/For...ith-Soft-Silicone-Cover-Flip/32869935377.html
very good, fit perfectly

This is my favorite case of the ones I have purchased so far. It's nice and grippy, has raised edges above screen level and feels more protective than a TPU Sleeve/cover without adding noticable bulk or weight.
https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32881416866.html?
This is my second favorite case. I don't like the design with the bumper corners as much but it is grippy and feels like it provides above average protection. It also has raised edges to protect the screen.

I ordered the fabric case someone recommended above but it hasn't arrived yet.

IMAK Clear LG G2 Case - My Review

Purchased this case, just got it today (2 weeks shipping to me).
I am not affiliated with the seller in any way, this is simply me documenting my experience with the case so far.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/IMAK-D802-2...DA_Cases&var=570205273984&hash=item3f2b1f8de1
I was looking for something light, cheap, snug fitting, and stylish, this case definitely fits the bill.
Lets start with the Negatives:
- the case is clear polycarbonate and is VERY prone to scratching in its current state (in my case I plan on giving it a frosted finish anyway so this doesn't really apply to my case)
- the corners of the phone are still partially exposed with this style of case in the event of drops (again I don't plan on dropping the phone )
Now The Pluses:
- Sturdy, the polycarbonate does not feel fragile or brittle at all and has some flex
- It feels a bit grippier in the hand than the stock back does
- the case edges are raised by 0.5 mm when you lay your phone face down so the screen doesn't touch the surface.
- Cheap under $6 gets the job done for me
- Light, feels alot lighter/more agile in the hand compared to the rubber case I had on it before (doesn't feel like I actually have a case on the phone now).
- Very snug fit; there is no way it is coming off the phone, you have to pry it off.
- See pics below (excuse the iphone pics..):

How do you feel this would compare to some of the more expensive cases in the market (incipio dual pro, spigen) in terms of actual drop protection?
Also, what screen protector are you using? Is that one of those tempered glass screens?
Edited. In terms of drop protection vs. incipio dual pro and spigen, the latters would be better protection, but they will also be bulkier, that is the trade off.
I have a rubber case that is more drop resistant than the IMAK case, but the IMAK is is much lighter/less bulky by comparison.

Edited. I had the quotes in there so you get a notification that you've received a reply.
I wanted to confirm that you really meant to say that the Incipio would have better drop protection than the Spigen and not the other way around (since you later went on to say "but" re bulk), thanks!
Are the exposed rubber portions of the Dual Pro susceptible to major lint/dust attraction? If so, is it easy to clean (I was thinking of getting the white Dual Pro to match a white G2).
Do you think there's enough room on the sides of the case to have a tempered screen protector?
Didn't realize the phone came with a well-fitting screen protector from day 1. That's pretty cool!
I have never used the Spigen or Incipio but I think its fairly safe to say all 3 cases will have enough room for current slim tempered glass screen protectors once companies figure out the curved glass edges which are currently giving screen protector manufacturers a headache.
The stock screen protector is definitely a nice touch in the interim.

No experience with the DualPro, but they list the material as silicone.
My experience with silicone is it's a grippy material and does a good job attracting dust and having it stick to the surface. Cleaning is generally impossible unless you rinse it through some warm tap water.
I left the stock screen protector on my phone as well.

Definitely. My G2 is going to be coming in after black friday (at this point, there's no point in ordering now at full price) so hopefully the extra few weeks gives manufacturers some extra time to get the fit right.

Darn, I literally *just* placed an order for the white case. There was another poster in the forum that said that their DualPro was easy to clean by just wiping the dust/lint away. Now you're making me worry!

[REVIEW] Ghostek Bullet Case

The Ghostek Bullet case ($14.95 on Amazon) might just be my favorite daily case. However, there are some things you should be aware of...
Pros:
The bottom of the case is completely flat and can be stood up on all sides if propped properly (Has a lot of straight edges).
Power button/ir blaster is unobstructed.
Volume rocker gives a very satisfying click when depressed.
Very sturdy design (The case and phone will survive several drops without shattering to pieces).
Has a nifty kick-stand (Case can be used as an impromptu tripod).
Very easy to remove and to install.
Camera portions have deep ridges (protects the lens from scratches).
Very modular (Consists of 3 pieces [top, middle, and rear]).
Easy to grip.
Not too pricy.
Cons:
Top, bottom, both sides of the screen, and both camera areas are not sealed from dust (There's a lot of gaps between portions of the case and the phone).
Did not come with a screen protector as advertized (maybe a miscommunication from the seller).
A bit bulky compared to a lot of cases out there.
Fingerprint and dust magnet.
Portrait View
Landscape View
In pieces
Gaps for dust and debris on Rear cameras
Huge gap on bottom of the volume and micro-usb ports.
Gap near the power button.
Conclusion:
Now we all know our awesome phone is aesthetically curved and is very thin. In an attempt to protect this case from falls, this case makes the phone bulker and have flatter edges.
Although this case will let in lots of dust and debris, this is my favorite case to date. It's very durable and very serviceable. I'm sure with some Sugru or some silicone sealant, all the dust issues can be addressed, making this the perfect case.
thats a nice review.. however, i read in a few places that not all 4 corners are a perfect fit. the fit for one of the corners is not perfect i heard. did u come across anythin like that?
i got a love mei case.. but i get an annoying rainbow-like streak on my screen. it happens when i tighten the screws and the screen of the case and m8 screen come into contact. can i use this case with nilkin 9H tempered glass screen protector?
this is a good case but imo it is a bit too bulky for daily use. and the gaps also makes a lot of dust go in and there is a slight chance of scratching the phone if not kept clean from time to time,

well thats obviously a good combo that you mentioned. but if you want a little more slimmer that i suggest supcase unicorn beetle with a tempered glass protector. i am using UAG scout case with a glass protector. this case is quite nice too. :good:

I heard the unicorn beetle case covers the lens quite a lot and it affects photography when its late evenings... low light basically.. what do u think..
and someone posted this about the nillkin 9H screen protector.
"Worst ever tempered glass used , after application everything was good but when I removed it after a month it took out the oleophobic coating of the display now I can't use my phone without screen protector I guess the adhesive is too strong better I use your phone without this "
whats ur take on this?

i have read the same about nilkin protector. there are plenty of other brands i heard Zagg, skinomi, noot, intelliarmor etc. all has good and bad reviews. i personally use a slim glass protector from retail store (forgot the brand name). but i maybe switching to a full glass protector too. my personal preference is Zagg as it covers almost the full front except the speaker grills. http://www.amazon.com/ZAGG-InvisibleShield-Glass-Screen-Protector/dp/B00JZYF7QO/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1422376922&sr=8-16&keywords=tempered+glass+protector+m8
but supcase i don't think it cause image disturbance. in some cases when using flash some problems occurred. i think someone mentioned it was only on the clear back version. In the black\black version i think it does not happen. i am not sure as i am not using one currently.
I recently dropped my phone/case and the frame split ?.
I've never had an issue with the case fitment. It's a snug fit and you'll have to uncomfortably stretch the frame to get it on.
Got a pretty good replacement on eBay. As per my original case, I taped the openings and made cut outs of the ports to prevent scratches when plugging things in.

Is there screen shield on the front panel?
How about Otterbox Defender?
I am looking for case with front panel shield, not back only.

nope you'll need to buy that separately if you want one
Just received the Ghostek Atomic 2.0 Case. Even though Screen is not glass does not feel that back. No stickiness like plastic films. But for now just had it on for some hours so can't really say for long run yet.
It is a bit wider like a little over 1/4" more than the UAG case. Which adds to black borders on the front as seen on the pictures. So if you already had trouble using it with one hand, this would cause a bit more trouble.
The thickness is about the same as the UAG case when both are facing screen down.
This case advertises Waterproof but has 2 openings for the speaker grill on top and the home button on bottom. I would expect water could get in through those openings. Screen is dot matrix.
The look of the case for me is nice and does not make it look ugly in my perspective. As because the screen guard as they call it make it look like the screen is showing more than some cases that adds front black plastic borders on top and bottom.
The one thing is you might want to use wireless charging more due to having to open up ports more often if using a usb charger.
Here are some pictures I took. Sorry about quality. The best Camera I have is the GS7 edge. lol.
http://imgur.com/a/osNxm
Right now I'm using it with the TANAAB Screen protector.
I'll post more about it. But first reactions seems to be a good case but would depend on how you would see it and if the 1/4" width bigger than a UAG case would be a drawback or not.
It Seems that Ghostek send several out to Mobilefun or Uviyo in batches but haven't shipped through their main site.
Update:
Update about the openings mentioned above. The waterproof works and does not get inside case if there's nothing that raises the area where the openings are. I had the TANAAB TGSP that doesn't go full length of the phone let water in but when removed and tested no water went in. So waiting to test it with a similar TGSP like GPEL2 that fully extends the the phone and see how that works.
When With TANAAB. Sensitivity didn't change and could provide good protection if needed as the outside screen is just a thin plastic film.
Just wanted to point this out.

Ultra thin case

Anyone out there have an ultra thin case? I prefer these as it doesnt add much bulk to the phone. Whats the thinnest one available but not flush with the screen so if falls flat, the screen doesnt break.
I have a Nillkin Nature, and its pretty compact with a good grip.

Its good but you have to make sure to get the screen protectors that leave a little bit of room around the edges of the screen or the case will just push the screen protector off haha.
It is a damn good case and you can also just file off the edges to make room for the larger screen protectors like I did.
I agree with you.

Generic Chinese ones. Always the best. Mostly because this is a phone primarily for the Chinese market so they have the best accessories for it.
Get them on Ali express. If they don't have black at the tip and bottom they should be the smaller sized ones.
Unfortunately cheap means inaccurate and you have to buy white edge remover which is a liquid you can fill the edges of the screen protector so you don't have air in between the sides of the screen and the protector. Works fine and you can get 10 bags for like $2.
Screen protector will be like $1-2 or less if you get in bulk.
Get a case with edges to protect the screen.
If the fall has enough force to break the screen protector the screen itself won't last no matter how strong or expensive the protector was.
Case is the primary defence and the glass screen protectors protect from scratches and feels nicer than plastic film.

I have a Nillkin Nature soft cover, and a Nillkin H+Pro Anti-Explosion Tempered Glass screen protector.
That being said, does anyone know and recommend a good tempered glass that covers the full front and edges ?
I ordered this type.. Will come a week or two..

Supcase Unicorn beetle style series - Review

Hello all,
Just got my supcase delivered today and on first look it's really of premium quality and looks great on the phone. I had been looking out for cases from the launch date and none of them were upto the mark. I had been using supcase on my previous phones and they have always been great. So i sent them an email asking if unicorn beetle style would be available for the OnePlus 7T and got a positive reply that by November it would be available. And boom, here it is in Amazon india.
About the case :
Premium
Has a good camera cutout protection
Front display protection has a good lip on top and bottom (tempered glass applied)
Not a TPU case so no yellowish case after a few months
Cons - Makes the device slightly larger to hold but will get used to in a few days( but better than most of the cases out there).
Overall I'm really satisfied
Now let the pictures do the talking.
Oh btw i wanted a case that could show off the colour of the phone plus look good. I saw many transparent cases with black border but everything had one flaw - the camera cutout protection black strip was hiding the OnePlus logo a bit and it looked cheap(A few had their pictures posted as if the logo wasn't hiding but in real it was hiding the OnePlus logo). Guess only ringke had the correct cutout other than supcase.
Hi. Thank you for this review, was just looking at it.
Do you use the official oneplus tempered glass? Does it hinge the glass protector up like many others do? I have the official one and this is a must for me.
Question regarding the clear back; does it fill up with lint and dirt? I always felt that clear cases filled with lint and pocket **** when using it for a long period of time. Basically when I take off my 1+ case it's always got dirt in it anyway so I assume this would show through the clear back..

I have used tempered glass from glazed Inc and its similar to full screen tempered glass from official OnePlus and this case does not hinge.
Case is tempered glass friendly.

I too faced this issue using original tpu from oneplus.
I am not sure if this supacse will get filled up with dirt. For now nothing's inside the case. But I remember the OnePlus case had dirt inside it even on day one and i kept cleaning it every two days or so regularly.
From past few days there's nothing inside this clear case(supcase)

Can you provide a top down image on the screen so I can see the case lip? May get a better idea with that. Thank you
