From the moment I picked the phone out of the box I was amazed how nice the phone feels. My mom has iPhone 7 and built quality is really very impressive. Back of the phone feels very premium and nicely built. After 2 weeks of use there are barely any scratches, I wear rings so I thought it would get scratches all over it but no. It's still like new. Front of the phone also looks very stylish and screen holds pretty well also no scratches yet. Impressive for the price!
It feels like a premium device. Build quality is great.
Very slippery
too slipery for me.. then I put it in a rubber case, problem solved
10/10 for looks. 8/10 for build quality. Even though I agree the screen is pretty tough for a budget smartphone, the thickness of the metal body is not that satisfactory. Maybe I feel this way because i have used Moto G5s for some time. But other than that, the phone is pretty solid.
Btw, some users have said that the lens piece is prone to break on minor drops. Not sure how much of it is true.
If it was a bit heavier it would feel like a flagship phone. Needs a bit more structure to prevent the screen from slightly popping out when a slight bending force is applied.
Good quality build, feel sturdy. My Red édition got a nice finish too.
Build quality is OK
However, I was cleaning the metal body of the phone but it was so slippery that it falled down from 1 meter... now there are two "big" signs on the right metal corners. Not that big deal, I will always keep case on this phone now

Always clean your phone in bed. This will never happen again.
I'd say average manufacturing, nothing special, haven't dropped it yet tho, and hopefully never will.
Build quality is bad, compare to redmi note 4x.
I just bought this phone for 3 days, sometimes when picking it up, it made cracking sound like those old samsung-removeable-back-plastic-cover. I asked some user on other forums and they said this too.
The screen panel is not completely fit to the metal frame, i can push it down a little, and for me it seem can easily pop out of frame if apply some force.
I must rate the build quality 2 star.
Sr for bad english.
unfortunately the glass isn't scratch-proof, I did nothing else than wearing the Mi A1 and my keys accidentially in the same pocket.
while my 3 years old iphone 6 doesn't show one single scratch my Mi A1 already got 3. tried to polish with toothpaste but those scratches appear to be too deep.

a keyring isn't harder than gorilla-glass, so I assume it's NOT gorilla glass.
... and here we have this guy who's Mi A1 fell from 2 feet and the glass cracked:
https://www.quora.com/Does-the-Mi-A1-have-Gorilla-Glass-protection#
too bad, cause I like the rest of this phone's hardware a lot. but that's a no-go.
edit: interesting to find out that corning claims the Mi A1 actually has gorilla glas 3:
https://www.corning.com/gorillaglass/worldwide/en/products-with-gorilla/xiaomi/mi-a1.html
I'm puzzled, did I receive a xiaomi fake or a result of inconsistent manufacturing?
Amazing Feel
I feel the quality is really superb in this price range of phones. I would love to tell you that I feel really good. Actually, Its metal on the back side of it so I would say it will definitely give you premium feel.
mini 10
Build quality is okay. Color on aluminium body is fading out on my phone after using it for 8 months.
Especially near the charging port.
I felt the quality is average. I’d be okay with plastic body also. The proximity sensor is a pain. Out of 10, I’d rate the build quality and feel at 6 (⅗ stars). But you get what you pay for.
Quality super.
Last week a drop of water went to my speaker and the sound get scattered. After sucking the speaker, it get back to normal.
Mixed
Phone is built well, however the switches feel cheap. Clicking the power button once sometimes registers twice and opens up the camera app (double click power button for camera is enabled for me), also the volume buttons feels poorly made, won't register at most times resulting in having to click with a little more force than I would have desired. Those issues aside I feel the phone is built well for the price.
Power and volume button sucks.

Has anyone found any good cases? It seems very hard to find a durable case for the phone. So far all I have found that seems slightly good is the PDair Silicone case but I haven't found any reviews on it. There is also the array of ebay cases that may or may not actually be good.
I own the PDair leather book-style opening case, and I am quite pleased with it. It fits perfectly, and is custom made. I highly recommend any of the PDair products, although their prices aren't always the best.

I've actually ordered a PDAir Aluminum case for the Lg Optimus 7. I shall give you my thoughts on it this weekend.
Well, don't know if you're still interested on my thoughts but here goes...
I'm not very experienced on cellphone covers but I will try my best to describe what you need to know.
The PDAir aluminum case is surely a surprise, though at first not a very pleasant one.
What I disliked was how the phone now felt in my hand compared to when it didn't have a case. Of course you will get used to it eventually but the aluminum casing provides a kind of uncomfortable hold due to the way its made. Since my english is not the best I will show you what I mean:

As you can see the part outlined in the picture is what makes the phone feel uncomfortable. It kind of sticks out into your hand and it may bother a lot of people who use their phones for long periods of time.
Moving on we have another problem, at least for me. Due to the nature of the case itself which acts like a little jail cell for your phone you will experience a slight discomfort or inconvenience while talking since the enclosure leaves some very little space when closed between the speaker of the phone and your ear you will notice that the sound emitted from the speaker needs to travel far more and it feels like the sound is being redirected throughout the whole case instead to just your ear.
http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i63/Meats_Of_Evil/PDAirLGE9002.jpg
Another thing that bothered me was since there is definitely a little space left between the screen on the phone and the top of the cover you might have trouble in some games or apps that need the outer most part of the screen to be touched. For instance, while playing Plant vs Zombies I have an extremely hard time trying to touch the shovel which is located in the upper most part of the screen when playing horizontally. Also, the clock icon on the upper part of the screen (vertically) in the Windows Phone 7 Home Screen which displays all the extra info, wifi, 3g, battery etc. Is also hard to touch since the aluminum enclosure blocks a little.
*Note*
Other cases may also suffer from this.
Now as for the cover itself it is very very sturdy, I think its aluminum I don't really now but I like it that it absorbs the cold and helps cool the phone in a sort of way. The material itself is very very hard so I guess they weren't kidding when they said "Anodized aircraft-grade aluminum". I applied some force to it and it didn't even bend, though I'm sure if I apply strong force I could bend it I don't think it was necessary since the phone would never meet those stressful conditions. The two cons about the encasing being a little jail cell for the phone and blocking a little of the upper parts of the screen because it leaves some distance between the screen and the case is a plus in terms of added security. I haven't dropped my phone yet but I am confident that it will resist the shock of a fall without endangering the screen since the screen itself will never come in contact with the floor due to the little space left between the screen and the case. One thing I like is how well secure the phone is inside the case, it fits perfectly but at the same time you have to kind of force it into the case so it sits there. The inside of the case has a material that acts as a cushion for the phone and its what keeps it perfectly locked in position and even with the other half of the cover still opened I tried shaking the cover furiously to see if the phone would fallout but it rested in its same position without moving an inch so that's a huge plus.
Every button on the phone and port is perfectly accessible due to cut out holes on the case, so you'll have no problems plugging the phone to USB or using the buttons.
The thing that could have been better is the locking mechanism of the case which is just a snap in "lock" and it doesn't feel very good, it just snaps in so you can easily open the case without any trouble but I feel it should have been better.
This case is no Otter thats for sure but in terms of protection I believe it will do the job nicely. I have a 2 year contract with this phone so this cover better do the job, I will report it if it fails eventually, but for now I'm pretty confident.
I thought of a rating system:
Handling/Comfortability (is that even a word?) - 2/5
Installation/ Ease of Use - 5/5
Phones functionality after installing - 4/5
Case Quality - 5/5
Case design - 3/5
Final Score: 3/5 (I think)
I bought this ... I know
Hi,
Just making a random thread, when I get a phone I always get a case because I'm afraid the drop proofibility(I know its not a word) is not up to scratch(pun unintended).However I'm waiting on sony's official white case. Just wondering, how drop resistant is the Xperia S. Not telling anyone to drop their Xperia S to find out.
Please share your experiences
I'll put it this way, I dropped it by accident and I've a big scuff and dent on the top right at the back of the phone.
I keep looking at it, with sadness.
I havnt dropped mine but if I did and it smashed it would not suprise me, feels very heavy/fragile!

Heavy? Really? IMO its a really light phone. Feels the same weight as my x10 but its way bigger. It surprised me when I opened the box and took it out.
Having dropped my x10 upwards of 4 times, never having a case I'm kinda confident in Sony's manufacturing. Thing is nicked slightly, few marks on the screen protector but if I replaced that you'd take a second to realise it wasnt new out of the box.
That said, I have a nilkin on the way and I'm going to be Uber cautious until it arrives.

Same I have a few scuffs and bruises on mine, I can see my £50 phone excess being used and it taking an irrepairable drop some time soon. My white case is on it's way.

Two days ago I dropped mine from about 1,5 meters onto asphalt (display down) causing only two tiny scratches on the screen! The phone still works as before. Incredible!

It really depends on how it drops. Though being a phone with sharp corners definitely has the downside of being less drop resistant, as seen that poor phone above that looks like it had it's skull cracked open
It's partly why a lot of phones you see have rounded corners, as they are more adept at distributing impact forces to the sides.
Too bad I'm in love with the rectangular design, so I'll have to be more careful!

No phone is drop resistant unless you have one of the old nokia phones. Those are wall resistant as well.
I thought they would make phones a little more drop resistant by now. On my old Samsung galaxy s, the gorilla glass does shatter, but I swear they could they could fix that by having very ever so small protruding edges to stop the glass contacting the ground, that way i don't need a case, that was with the old galaxy s but i guess this xperia s, the plastic and the glass are both vunerable

Its certainly heavy enough to hurt itself when dropped.
i dropped mine on the toilet floor in an airport and the top right hand corner got grazed and had a small hair line crack
...i ordered a case before this incident and the case came the day after the phone got damaged
oh well now im trying to get it replaced under warranty
New owner of a Note 3 but long-time lurker of XDA!
Noticed not too many users using aluminum/metal cases so I figured I'd give them a whirl~

I decided to review this specific case because it's literally everywhere on ebay and seems to be the most popular aluminum case for the Note 3 currently.
1) What I received in the mail
Packaging was incredibly simple.
Here is what I received(This may vary depending on where and whom you buy yours from),
-Aluminum case enclosed in bubblewrap
-Keychain/Mini screwdriver(one side is flat head while the other is a philips screwdriver head)
-Mini bag with spare screws(Not pictured)
2) The Weight.
Weighed my Note 3 first to find it weighing at a paltry 6.05 oz.
After applying the aluminum casing, I found the weight to increase roughly 22%(From 6.05 oz to 7.35 oz)
Being that this is my first case for the Note 3, I'm unsure if the increase in weight is typical for most cases or abnormal.
3) Build Quality.
The casing actually feels very sturdy and tough in the hand despite it's thinness. This case is a SCREW-ON case.
There are rubberized strips inside the bumper to absorb any impact and the back panel actually replaces the stock back panel of the Note 3 to truly reduce bulk size.
But for some strange reason, after installing the case, I felt almost afraid of ever dropping my phone. Although the aluminum is thick and sturdy, I just didn't feel entirely safe holding it in my hand.
The buttons feel great! I actually prefer pushing the casing's buttons rather than the stock buttons.
All the cutouts are very accurate and easily accessible EXCEPT for the headphone jack.
You will NOT be able to use any 3.5mm right-angled cables with this case on!
This wasn't a dealbreaker for me because I never use my phone as my mp3 player.
As expected from anything made out of brushed aluminum, there is no grip to this case. If you are a butterfinger, stay far away from this case.
WARNING: the cutout near the S-Pen is just a tad bit sharp so please be careful when handling!
4) Aesthetics.
I must admit, I've gotten quite a bit of compliments after putting on this case!
It looks quite luxurious but the only downside is the obnoxious Engrish on the back of the casing. The logo almost looks like XXX or something and the description underneath is incredibly redundant(Seriously, it literally says "mobile phone metal frame cover mobile phone set Note 3").
The buttons remind me too much of the iPhone(especially the round volume controls). They look obnoxious on my Note 3 but atleast they work :/
For those who dislike reading long blocks of text,
Pros
-Looks luxurious and expensive
-Wifi is NOT affected by the aluminum casing (Download/Upload speeds were the same with and without the case)
-Buttons feel very good
-Cutouts are very accurate
-Phone does not move around in case due to the screws
-Pretty damn slim for a aluminum case. Does not add much bulk at all
-The added weight is not too large. This may not be a Pro for some.
-Compatible with most if not all screen protectors(I am using an iloome Screenmate Flex Tempered Glass Protector)
Cons
-Weird Engrish writing on the back(There are also blank versions of this case available on the internet!)
-3.5mm right-angled cables do NOT work on this case
-God damn slippery
-Feels somewhat unsafe to drop despite the robustness of the casing. This may not feel the same for other users.
-Gets cold when left untouched
-Sharp corners around S-Pen
-Screws are incredibly small and ridiculously easy to lose if not careful

Biggest complaint I've seen on this type of case is drastic decrease in signal.
Do you have anything to report in regards to signal?
Sent from my SM-N900V
I have this case in grey/silver and I did indeed notice some signal degradation in areas with weak signal. For this reason, I had to switch to a diztronic case. Otherwise this is a beautiful case - though makes the phone look a little thicker from the side view.

That's odd.. I have yet to notice any decrease in signal with this case on. Perhaps this may vary depending on the user's location.
Most if not all aluminum cases cause signal drop. Sometimes it can be drastic and sometimes it can be very minimum. Every case I've owned that's metal is like that. Doesn't matter if it's cheap or expensive.
screws
I lost the screws and do not know where to find new ones, or what kind of screws they are? Can you help me?
I bought one of these cases. While it looks and feels great, i have to agree. It is crazy slippery. Like, really.
Also, more issues i had with it, is that I had practically no GPS signal, neither could I use the NFC. That's a pity, as I got numerous compliments about the case, and I would really like to use it full time. But alas, I am back to my slim fit carbon fiber case.
Can't you apply strategically placed strips of see through plastic armor to make it more grippy?
Does it provide any protection?

Good looking case ruined by their logo.
The case looks very nice - it's a shame the logo and decrease in reception mess it up.
Hey everyone, haven't done a review of anything in forever but I just had to take some photos and get my first impressions out for the Tudia Merge since for the Razor Phone 2 our case options thus far have been limited mostly to the OEM case which have been getting some mixed reviews. This review is NOT sponsored, I bought this myself. At the discounted price they were offering pre-release through a coupon code on reddit it was a no-brainer to try out considering the cost and availability of the OEM options.
The Tudia Merge is a two piece case, made with what seems to be a slightly thinner TPU material with a polycarbonate plate. Anyone familiar with Seidio and Spigen will immediately recognize this kind of construction. Compared to my Seidio Dilex that I had for my U11, i would say the TPU material is a little more rigid and with a more paper-like texture. It is more matte but picks up less of my greasy fingerprints. Being a two piece case means that you can keep your skin on the phone for when you wanna still have some abrasion protection should you want to run without the case at any point. The polycarbonate plate has a matte soft touch finish to it. I generally hate soft touch black matte because it has a tendency to show grease marks. I put this up on my forehead (gross), and it didn't automatically turn in to a freshly detailed black car. As a bonus to having a two piece construction like this, the annoying peeling sound from the stock glass back when you push down on it is gone since you can't push down on the back anymore...not exactly a fix for the problem in the first place but its a good side effect nonetheless. My generic wireless charger still works through the entire case.

Aside from the two angled bands at the bottom and some debossed branding, the back of the case is without much flair, and maintains the slab profile of the phone. There are cutouts for both the camera and the RGB snakes on the back. Personally I would have loved to somehow have the RGB covered by clear polycarb but as recessed as it is I feel like the light will be adequately protected.
I was hoping the front would move in towards the screen more as we do have some significant screen bezel on the side which could be used for a more secure hold. The sides of the front should have no issues clearing most tempered glass screen protectors unless you have one that goes all the way to the edge of the glass. Because of the relatively shallow grab of the front, it is possible to peel the case off with the polycarb plate attached. I have had other cases where you could do that but they never fell out of the case in a drop.
Volume buttons are your standard raised pieces with tabs keeping them connected to the case. The tab sections are pretty robust and the buttons retain their clickiness, with the added benefit of having a slightly bigger footprint due to the shape. The bigger shape also makes it feel a bit more like a rocker switch to the touch.
Charging port is recessed quite a bit due to the case thickness. Tudia did make the opening bigger too accommodate all sorts of fat cable plug ends. It works with the stock cable of course but will also fit the more generic metal wrapped ends.
Power button is recessed with enough of a taper and a large enough cutout to not interfere with fingerprint sensor operation. It did take a slight bit of an adjustment on my part due to the fact that I have small hands so my normal grip when unlocking from picking the phone up is at a bit of an angle instead of fingertip dead on. If you can comfortably grip the phone and your fingers land perpendicular to the screen surface, it should not be much of an issue.
On my Spigen liquid crystal case for my U11 there are some cutouts on the corners where the phone does not actually make contact with the case. This is supposed to allow for better deflection of drop forces on the corner which should provide better protection by having less points of contact in the critical corners so more of the force makes it way though the case body instead of transferring to the phone. The Merge also looks to have this feature, whether it works I hope I never find out.
Overall I would say that at this price, first impressions are that it would probably do the job while maintaining the industrial aesthetics of the phone. Unfortunately I don't drop my phones very often nor am I going to drop my personal phone on purpose for a drop test so it might be awhile before there's any updates from me regarding the actual protective properties of this case for those of you that would depend on this to protect from daily drops. I will say that in comparison to many cases that I've owned from various brands, this case is probably about 80-90% what a Seidio two-piece non active or rugged case would be which should do the job for most people that aren't Ethan Hunt.
Excellent informative review! I really appreciated your breadth of coverage and greatly appreciated the photos you took. Thank you!
I also have the exact same case, like it so far. Hope I never get to "test it out" by dropping it... Does exactly like the OP says it does. Feels nice in the hands, takes the sharpness off the squared edges of the phone, puts my mind at ease. I'm no longer afraid to set it down anywhere anymore. I would recommend it
Is it bulkier then Spigen air cushion case?
I've had this case for about a month, but mine is grey. I'm not pleased... The back I'd super easy to scratch, and quite ugly.

Got this case a few days ago. Design is beautiful. If you have a skin, the clear back shows it off nicely. Back plastic is really hard. Feels like glass almost. You can tell it's a high quality case. It does not feel cheap and my phone feels protected. Great front bezel/lip rise. Power and volume buttons are clicky which is always nice. Ultimately it feels great in the hand.
A few things to think about though.
Since the back is clear hard plastic that means it is a finger print/dust magnet. I constantly have to wipe it down. Also I placed it in my pocket for 10 minutes and I guess moisture caused a pretty big rainbow spot on the back.
The sides are smooth so it doesn't have the best grip. It can slide out of your hands if you aren't careful.
Although the buttons are clicky one thing that isn't too great is that they are flush to the case and the groove indicators are not that deep so more times than I'd like, I see myself lowering the volume when I wanted to increase the volume.
Lastly it adds bulk, but not on the level of a rugged style case. I also have a Spigen Liquid Air case that is just a tpu and this Supcase is noticeably bulkier and heavier.
But ultimately it is a case I would recommend. Dropped my phone on tile floor and of course the phone was fine but the case didn't have a scratch on it.
I've ordered a few cases, including the official OnePlus bumper case, and the SupCase is the one I like best. It's been on my phone basically since I got it. As you you mentioned the only real downside I've found is the volume buttons, it's hard to tell which one you are pushing at times. Other than that, a great case, at a great price.
Got this case as soon as I got the phone. It's gorgeous, it's protective, even saved it for me nasty spell. But I would safe because of the buttons being flush it's hard to find them really easily. Other than that it really has been an awesome case, thanks to everyone for recommending this case.

I agree with this review, good points and bad. Great case overall.

i recently bought this case too
- i like that the flush side buttons don't get caught up when taking it out of my pocket
- and yes kinda hard to identify the vol up and down buttons sometimes - maybe a raised ridge in the middle of the buttons would have helped to tell them apart
- the sides have a slight rubbery feeling - not very grippy but still acceptable - it might appear slippery if your hands are very dry
- moving from the original tpu case that it came with - the extra bulk is noticeable but does not hinder usage unless you have small hands - it is a tad bit harder to reach the top parts of the screen
- i still have the protective film at the back of the casing on - LOL - so i can't tell how smudgy it is going to get
now my question is - what tgsp are you guys using ? i am still on the original film protector that came with it and want to change to tgsp but not sure which one will fit nicely with this case.

Any should fit fine. I'm using the official OnePlus 3D one on mine. I just put a SuperShieldz 3D one on my friends 6T with the case a couple weeks ago. She hasn't had issues either.
I tried this one on op6 and couldn't live with the buttons.
Office karbon is my favorite so far. Got a decent open box deal on eBay for my op6t 18$ free ship. Item was new.
