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!

You can see the case in this video:
https://youtu.be/V-pGR8w_Pwg?t=179
(2:59 in)
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.

Went with this...
Good:
Raised lip
Bump/Shock protection
Magnetic compatible with car holder
Clear
Ring stand
Bad
Not wireless compatible (like any other magnetic backing case)
Long shipping times

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.
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/222935855672
I ordered the fabric case someone recommended above but it hasn't arrived yet.
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?

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?

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.

But like you said not much one can do wrong at 3$ with free shipping.

Sounds good! I honestly thought those cases with yrims are all as soft as the stock case, that why I haven't considered one yet
I owned a Nokia 8 a couple of years back and one of my favourite things about it was the CC-801 case - a bit like the OnePlus Sandstone case but even more minimalist with exposed sides and just a back and corner protection.
Was never able to find anything similar for my OnePlus 6 so settled on the Sandstone and was generally pretty happy with it.
However, I purchased an OP7T a few days ago and was pleasantly surprised when I came across the following on Amazon UK
OnePlus 7T Case, Ultra Slim Frosted Transparent
It arrived this afternoon and whilst it may not be quite as slim as the CC-801 or the Sandstone, I think I am going to like it a lot.
The sides are not covered but the top and the corners get decent chunky protection - much more than a Sandstone.
The black disc on the back is my own magnetic one...
Got a similar case with black edges. Feels like holding the phone naked. Btw - Where did you get your tempered glass from?
The SP is Omoton glass from Amazon UK. It is 1-2mm too wide. I complained to them and they promised to offer a smaller version in the next few days on Amazon UK.
Where did you get your case - does the back offer great grip?

Update: they have now added a newer slightly narrower version which should no longer have the halo effect.
I have ordered the newer one - and will let you know if they fixed the size issue once I receive it.
I have GESMA from amazon and it looks and feels so good. The buttons also feels nice and are well marked. The corners look like they can survive drops, but will see about that. The rear camera is also nicely protruded by a milimeter
how is the case holding up?
I recommend Caseology Vault. Perfect minimalist case that provides very good protection both front and camera cutout, looks so elegant as well

Hi, I am guessing the question was directed at me.
I did use the case for a few weeks - but I missed the OnePlus Sandstone case that I had used with my previous OP6.
So, when I managed to get hold of a Sandstone case cheap I switched to that.
Still happy with the case and it does provide more protection than the Sandstone - but I had used the Sandstone for so long I just ended up switching back.

I agree. Excellent balance of form and function and very good camera protection, yet not at all bulky. Overall, I think it's the best of the three cases I've tried.

I know this thread is dead but for future people looking for a super solid and sexy option for a minimalist 7T case that also is built from some of the strongest material on Earth we have this:
It's a full Kevlar minimalist case. Comes in two color patterns, black and gray twill and this red and black twill. I think the red and black looks amazing. It's obviously not the most protective case but when paired with a shatterproof screen protector such as the rhino shield impact skin, your phone is in good hands. Since it's kevlar, it can take some pretty devastating hits and keep your phone safe. I highly recommend, I have two of them for a backup when my first one gets too ugly from abuse.
This one:

Amazon.com: ZIZO Bolt Series OnePlus 7 Pro Case | Military-Grade Drop Protection w/Kickstand Bundle Includes Belt Clip Holster + Lanyard Blue Black : Cell Phones & Accessories
www.amazon.com
May not be compatible with the 7t variant. I don't know this phone's product line specs. One may be released for your phone in the future if this one doesn't work for your model.
The Bolt is the only case I use on my Note 10+.
Thin, easy to hold and it has soaked up repeated falls onto concrete with zero damage.
I use Gorilla IQ Sheild for a screen protector; easy to apply, inexpensive and long lived.
Both have done well keeping my 10+ from harm without spending more than $30*.
*on my 2nd Bolt case because of repeated hard drops. No visible damage to the case but out of an abundance of caution about possible corner fatigue retired the first one. Better safe than sorry.
At $20 a pop it's a no brainer.

Case is still holding up great, very resistant to daily use. Not a flawed resin on the aramid fiber like there is on some brands of carbon/aramid fiber cases
I don't mind the free case that came with it, but would prefer something a little bit slimmer if possible, and also with a better 'grip' to it. I used to always get S-Line cases, but can't see any at the moment.
I have been looking in Amazon (UK), and nothing really stands out
If anyone has any recommendations, thanks
Hi
spotted accessories for our new device on nillkin main site frosted covers available good bang for buck. and a bunch of screen protectors for x3, x2 and k30
While the euro site (much faster dely if in EU) only offers one type of screen protection for the mom. no cases yet.

I went for this one in the end. It's pretty good, definitely better than the free one in the box, but it didn't have a hole for the IR Blaster, which I use a fair bit, but I managed to make a tough but ok hole in it.
Still not quite as good a feel as those old S-Line cases, which were really nice and grippy, but not bad and feels good enough.

I'm also waiting for that one. My brother has a Spigen case on his Redmi Note 8 and I absolutely love the texture of it.
I also bought the Nillkin blue frosted hard plastic case( https://a.aliexpress.com/_mr6gNt7 ) and it sucks really bad. It's very slippery and it caused my phone to fall twice off the table, where the second time broke my tempered glass. It barely protects the edges of the phone too and it's NOT anti-skid, means your phone will slide off a table like an ice cube.
Hello, I see there aren't many cases out there for the Zenfone 8! So I created this thread for people to share their findings with other people.
Personnally, the only 2 cases that I saw that are not very cheap cases from aliexpress are these ones:
Cases
High Protection
RhinoShield Solid Suit (Offers high customization, full case with optional printed back plate)
DevilCase Guardian II (Offers high customization, bumper case with a swappable clear or printed back plate)
Medium Protection
to be added
Light Protection
to be added
To Be Verified/Tested
FZZSZS Silicone + Sreen Protector (Silicone case and 2 tempered glass screen protectors included)
Osophter Shock Absorbing Clear case (Reinforced corners, clear case
Shantime Thin TPU Case (looks pretty cheap from the pictures, especially at the bottom ports)
J&D Thin Clear Case
Screen ProtectorsTempered Glass
Supershieldz 3 pack (rated 1 star, would wait before buying)
Plastic
RhinoShield impact protection
However, these cases are a bit thick (and expensive), so if anybody finds any kind of case, please post it here
Let's hope more manufacturers join in and make cases for this phone!
(I will edit this list to add cases as they come out)
Edit: I bought the RhinoShield Case, will write a small review as well as some photos when I get it (or IF I get it...)
There are cases and screen protection available at Aliexpress.
Leather, fabric, silicone, You name it, it is there.
Also screen protectors, hydrogel and tempered glass.

Unfortunately no, it does not come with a preinstalled screen protector. However it does come with a higher than average quality hard plastic case so thats a big plus!

Hmm, now that I think about it, maybe I should have went with glass... Oh well not the end of the world

Yeah. Don't worry. When this glued comes trash, just try glass next time
I use this case: Link I like it very much. Grippier Than the original, feels good in hand.
Also tried this hydrogel protector.
It does not work with fingerprint reader unfortunately: Link

How protective would you says it is? So I can add it to the list (how thin is it and does it look like it would absorb shocks easily or badly)
Excellent cases
I have now tried 2 screen protectors.
One full covering IMAK Pro+ (Or the kinda, names vary depending on site) and a CALANS Not-full-covering 9H.
The CALANS seats very badly and leaves air on the sides.
With neither does the fingerprint reader work properly. It is a hit and miss game of hundreds of tries to even register a fingerprint and especially the tips are really hard to register.
Seems like using a protector on this phone is a no go.

I'm still using the upscreen protector and the reader works flawlessly with my left thumb

Hello, I see there aren't many cases out there for the Zenfone 8! So I created this thread for people to share their findings with other people.
Personnally, the only 2 cases that I saw that are not very cheap cases from aliexpress are these ones:
Cases
High Protection
RhinoShield Solid Suit (Offers high customization, full case with optional printed back plate)
DevilCase Guardian II (Offers high customization, bumper case with a swappable clear or printed back plate)
Medium Protection
to be added
Light Protection
to be added
To Be Verified/Tested
FZZSZS Silicone + Sreen Protector (Silicone case and 2 tempered glass screen protectors included)
Osophter Shock Absorbing Clear case (Reinforced corners, clear case
Shantime Thin TPU Case (looks pretty cheap from the pictures, especially at the bottom ports)
J&D Thin Clear Case
Screen ProtectorsTempered Glass
Supershieldz 3 pack (rated 1 star, would wait before buying)
Plastic
RhinoShield impact protection
However, these cases are a bit thick (and expensive), so if anybody finds any kind of case, please post it here
Let's hope more manufacturers join in and make cases for this phone!
(I will edit this list to add cases as they come out)
Edit: I bought the RhinoShield Case, will write a small review as well as some photos when I get it (or IF I get it...)

Do not buy from Amazon the screen protectors "LEEKUANGSU [2 Pack] for ASUS Zenfone 8". They are 3.5 mm too short and the packaging does not mention Asus Zenfone 8. Just a scam.
Hi, is there any screen protector which works perfectly with a fingerprint reader and can be bought on Aliexpress? Thank you
Hi.
im looking for a case that turns of the screen when closing it.
The phone is listed to have a hall sensor so it should be possible.
Just bought a cheap flip cover on AliExpress but it doesent work.
Anybody that knows about a working one ? Or maybe the hardware doesent support it after all?
Thanks
