looks good, but will the casing cause any problem of cable later? i means the casing too thick causes cable cannot fit it

btw how much they selling in ebay?

bro,
i truly have no idea whether will it affect the reception or not. one seller is selling for rm40 cheapest. here is the link: link

i am thinking of getting it before RN3 launch in MY in april or alternatively, i was thinking of getting this too:

I am using this bumper. Nice feels. Just be aware. The reception will be affected slightly by the metal bumper. Not major but will reduce the 4g signal

thanks for the heads up but i rarely use 4G especially my work area at best is H+ reception. but as another forumer ask, i would like to know too, does it scratch the phone? and protect the back when put flat on the back?

Not much. But if u travel often. U will get frustrated with no signal. And also. It is not easy to get the cover out

alright, thanks for the info. Ordered it already, expected delivery is 2-3 weeks from now. the case looks really sturdy enough to protect the phone from drops and fall. hopefully it arrived before the phone does.

will give a review once the phone launched here and with the casing hahaha...

Watched few videos on how tough the redmi note 3 glass is.. so my question, are you guys still going to install any screen protector on this phone? Or just leave it like that?

i am definitely going to apply glass SP. where i work, its prone to scratches due to sanf or silica that are almost naked to the eye.

i use Nilkin Tempered Glass SP and i find its oleo coating is very good and for some reason it is much more resistance to scratches but it is also easily cracked or chippd if fall.

the casing came before the phone... got it just now. hahahaha rolleyes.gif

Luphie Thin Aluminum Metal Bumper for Redmi Note 3

i didn't expect delivery to be so fast. two weeks delivered from china. first impression, quite nice feel of black matte, would help on the grip i guess. feels sturdy like it will absorb shock.

the printed words on the side "designed by luphie" is slanted. the buttons feels funny but i have to try on the RN3 only then will see how it works out. inside is rubberized.
