Hi guys not long had my one x and got a cheap "real leather" flip case, but want a more rugged case with built in screen protector. I've got given an ipad for work and that came with a 2 part case (hard plastic snap cover with built in screen cover basically sealing off the ipad apart from the ports & soft thick outer shell).
I see there is a few "rugged" cases out there but not many available in UK.
Seen the otterbox defender but had mixed reviews about screen protector not being flat to the screen and awkward to flip down info bar, is there any other like this with built in screen protection that are reconmended.

According to the ebay ad;
Keep your Samsung i9300 scratch free with this synthetic leather case
Protects your phone from common bumps, thumb prints, dust
Durable synthetic leather exterior protects the device while keeping all buttons and ports accessible
Auto-securing magnetic flap for the best combination of security and ease of use
Horizontal flip design, secure the phone in the case with a magnetic seal
Includes two slots to store your credit cards and business cards
Material: Synthetic PU Leather
Size: perfect fit
Avaliable Color: Black, White, Red, Rose Red, Pink, Orange, Blue, Brown
I wonder if this is good?
It looks really nice. I wonder if those wallets work well though, don't the credit card hit the screen when it's closed?
I've got couple of cases and screen protectors, for anyone interested here are my observations:
Note: links to products are random, do your own search before buying.
1. Nillkin Super frosted case, purchased for 4.7 eur
Pros:
- good fit
- comes with a soft screen protector
- hard case
- rubbery non slipping surface
Cons:
- bundled screen protector is is smaller than the actual display and scratches extremely easily, smudges quickly, hard to clean
- rubbing against the surface can irritate the skin as it's a bit harsh/sharp
- uncomfortable to hold for prolonged time due to above (ebook reading)
2. Imak hard "cowboy" case, purchased for 6.1 eur
Pros:
- hard case with good fit
- non slippery, sandpaper like surface
- no sharp edges anywhere
- bundled with a soft screen protector (didn't try it yet, but probably the same as Nillkin)
Cons:
- probably none
3. Noname "Luxury Ultra Thin Soft TPU Silicone Matte Rubber Case Cover" for less than 1 usd
Pros:
- extremely pleasant to touch, probably the best of all cases
- good fit, really thin
Cons:
- soft case, can deform over time
4. Noname "For Xiaomi Mi A1/5X Luxury Plating Clear TPU Case Shockproof Soft Rubber Cover" for 2.3 usd
Pros:
- none really
Cons:
- standard clear TPU case, thicker than other
- blue color is in fact purple
- slippery when wet
5. Gadgetshieldz ultra clear screen protector for 8.95 usd
Pros:
- full display coverage
- doesn't impact touch response
Cons:
- complicated wet installation
- a bit rubbery feel
- some edges are not fully glued even after more than 12 hours
- doesn't fully clear up, heavily distorts the screen even after few days (diffraction of pixels?), very visible with white color on the screen. It should be hard to peel off from the display, but it gets off with almost no effort, so shield probably isn't fully compatible with Mi A1 display (or its coating).
6. Full cover tempered glass screen protector, pack of 2 for 2.5 usd
This one didn't arrive yet, but I have very similar protector on another phone
Pros:
- easy installation
- full coverage
- real glass, oleophobic, feels like "naked" screen
- scratch resistant
- cheap
Cons:
- breaks easily
- glass itself is not glued to the screen (only the black/white edges)
- sometimes visible dotted pattern (touch sensitive layer)
- adds a bit of bulk to the phone (not an issue while using a back cover though)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Considering price and "performance" ratio, my picks are #2, #3 for case and #6 for screen protector.

The full screen protectors I've tried suck since you can clearly see the dots and a rainbow effect. It looks terrible. On the HTC 10 my full screen protector didn't have those dots.
I just wished there was a glass screen protector with oleophobic treatment (has the screen has) so it wouldn't get so much smudges, anyone knows one like that?
Cheers

I've seen/had full screen protectors with
1. clearly visible dots, no rainbow
2. almost invisible dots with rainbow
3. almost invisible dots with no rainbow
All of them were extremely cheap and eBay listing seemed to be the same or very similar product. No idea how to distinguish them.. Once I receive the batch for A1, I'll confirm if it's with visible dots and rainbow
Btw. IMAK PRO+ full screen protector might be what we want, in the descriptions it's mentioned that whole protector is glued to the screen, so it shouldn't show any adverse effects. Maybe I'll try it later when I run out of cheap protectors.
ordered one of this case, wait it arrive at me.
i think its a nice case, i bought it before for my friend redmi 4x, will make the phone a little thick.

Thanks, if you try it please tell me if it's good. I've never spent more than 1 dollar on a screen protector since I tend to think they are all the same.

Update about:
5. Gadgetshieldz ultra clear screen protector for 8.95 usd
It doesn't fully clear up, heavily distorts the screen even after few days (diffraction of pixels?), very visible with white color on the screen. Probably isn't fully compatible with Mi A1 display (or its coating).
However customer service was very nice, they sent me another shield, which unfortunately showed the very same problem. We agreed on refund (I will need to send used shield back). I can recommend the company, but not the product, at least with our phone.
I've tried a full coverage glass screen protector for my HTC 10 which didn't have micro dots, didn't have rainbow effect since it had glue in all the glass, not just the sides, it was perfect. For the Xiaomi Mi A1 I've come to the conclusion that there is no full coverage protector like that, they all have those stupid micro dots, makes the screen look terrible and I've decided that a smaller screen protector, which dosent cover the all screen, is the only way to go.
If someone finds a better full coverage protector please share with us.
Cheers
Here is my tempered glass and cover

I have same .. and it looks good
Recently I bought a pack with a tempered glass screen protector and a TPU transparent case of the brand "FLOSS".
Here you have link of amazon: http://amzn.eu/1ht83FL
In addition to the screen protector and the case, it also includes a necklace to carry the phone, a memory or others.
· The TPU case fits perfectly to the phone, covering all corners, including the camera (also the space between cameras and flash) and screen, as it protrudes a few millimeters
It's very thin, so it just 'fattens' the phone.
Another point in favor is that it has protectors for the audio jack and the USB connector.
· The screen protector is tempered glass, with a very good touch and oleophobic treatment (anti-stain).
It has a black frame, which is the one that adheres to the screen.
The tactile part has a matrix of points that, in comparison with other protectors that I have tried, are hardly appreciated. This matrix avoids that visual 'stains' are created by the curvature of the crystal, since this remains 'floating' on the screen, without appreciably affecting the tactile response.
To put some snag, I think that size is not perfectly adjusted to the screen. The navigation icons do not match those of the phone and may be 1 millimeter in size around the perimeter to perfectly fit the screen size. On the other hand, it does not affect its use and, if a thicker case is used, it is better that way, since it prevents the case from lifting the protector.
Honestly, that looks really crappy
Hi, i want share this product with you. I ordered it from here https://flosmall.com/products/xiaomi-mi5x-flos-tempered-glass-screen-protector or you can also order it from here https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B076J6N1TB
It includes TPU case, tempered glass, dust-absorber, wet and dry wipes, Wiping cloth with good packaging.
TPU case has protectors for the audio jack and the USB connector which is very good. TPU case stays well in hand. Volume and power buttons are working good.
You can choose white or black glass.
Here is some specs about tempered glass:
9H super hardness, anti-scratch and anti-explosion
Super extreme thin, display the original color of the phone screen and offer the sensitive touching
Anti blue laser and anti radiation protection
2.5D Arc, smooth edge design to anti-prevent hand scratch
Get your phone protected with this product completely with good price! I give 4,5/5. :good:
EDIT: added more pictures with glass and TPU case installed.
