seldom use ka? i use ok2, maximum 2 days~

Hey guys,
I'm looking for case options. I'm currently wearing a Case-mate Tough on my Galaxy Nexus, and look for a similar amount of protection. It lifts off the screen from the ground by about 2mm, which has saved my phone plenty of times.

Basically it's some serious amount of silicone (especially around the screen! That's really important to me, that the screen is raised off the ground) held in place by some hard plastic. Or something like the Otterbox Commuter. Strictly no flip cover. If it's less slippery that's good. Glossy TPU is rather nice for example. Good looks are a plus, i.e. showing off the design of the phone. I like the tech21 iPhone cases, basically (IIRC) TPU around the edge (bumper style) with an additional layer of shock absorbing material around the edge of the phone, giving it great protection without adding much bulk elsewhere. Sadly I haven't seen such a thing for the Mi3...

Any ideas? So far I have found the Rock Shield Series TPU case, but I can't find it on their homepage.

It does look like it offers reasonable protection. The sharp edges are a put off though, I've tried a similar case in a shop and it felt unpleasant. Also, more protection of the back than of the front? I'd rather have the thickness where it matters...

There's also this:

TPU is quite decent, but often a bit thin for me. This seems to be rather thick though...?

This looks... interesting. No clue about the materials used...

Nice amounts of protection.

Cocose Honeycomb. Another one that looks good. Nice design it seems. Doesn't lift off the screen all that much (not sure how those other TPU cases do...). Seems to be less than 1mm

Saw it in a shop. Not comfortable edges, tries to look like an iPhone Protection seems reasonable...?

Also, what is the point of screen protectors? Glass or not? Cause shouldn't it be gorilla glass, so it shouldn't get scratches? I'm just worried about breaking the screen...

I suggest check this.

Er got use, but sometimes light usage. My phone got problem kot.

Me facing this after upgrade firmware from v14 to v22.....
on v14 is ok..... now i downgrade back to v14 =_=

This is nice, though a bit excessive. I wish they'd do an in between product... one that adds a bit of bulk for enough protection (rather than ridiculous amounts of protection), without adding 2 cms to each side...

any1 willing to do bulk order?

$29.80 convert to RM is about RM95. Not bad price since it offers such durable protection.

go for this one ROCK Xiaomi MI-3 Shield Series Shockproof Back Case Cover

the best i think

and im using it

Yeah, that is my favourite so far. Have you dropped the phone on asphalt? How does it feel in your hands? Is it slippery, or more like glossy TPU? I'm really worried about the sharp edges. The Mi3 has a nice, rounded case, which is, well, nice, and they ruin that buy making it square with sharp edges Just so it looks more macho.

Try to upgrade to V23. Or you can use Google Hangouts as your SMS app. Don't need to hassle to downgrade back to v14.

Wish mine have this same 'problem'

Gorilla glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof. The bane of all glasses, sand, still can easily scratch it. Scratches on SP can be remove easily by changing SP at low cost, a small fraction of the cost of changing gorilla glass of a phone. If you don't mind possible scratches on your glass, then don't bother with SP.

Never like SP because of the feel but sometimes I was forced to use it when it involved a stylus like Note2.

The only advantage of SP is that when gaming, it was really easy to slide your thumb around compared to SP-less.

That is WHERE the GLASS SP comes in. A good glass SP has the same feel as gorilla glass....and changeable upon damage at a fraction of the phone glass below it.

Now ALL my phones are using glass SP. Just could not goes back to plastic SP once you get used to the smooth glass gliding touch.

would rather use sp than replacing screen..that one already costs 1/3 of the phone

Yup. Glass SP is the way to go. But the oleophobic coating (anti-finger thing) is worn off after some usage, even those super expensive one. I googled a bit and found a 'solution'. I will try it this weekend with my car wax

Oleophobic coating DIY

Ya, even my S4 Rm120 Spigen glass wore of its oleo within 2-3 months. So oleo thingy is usually just a marketing gimmick as it won't last.

You sure u want to use car wax kah !!! Wax usually will also wear off and it might even leave some "print" behind (its a wax lar....still a wax).

car wax? sure? ..kinda will left a smell there ...lol

Why not try 1 step further......try RainX

im using the rock case...yes,it makes the phone squarerish but the protection is adequate enough...same like me before using CM also...now just use the rock case with glass SP...

the honeycomb its ok to use and it feels kinda cheap because of the bumper around the phone it's plastic...

quite cheap also...what colour can get??
