Shiny dots on the Note's back - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

I noticed some shiny dots (because of factory case) on my Note' back. It is wearing areas caused by some dirt between the phone and the factory silicon case.
Anyone has it too?

You mean like every other phone thats made from metal? Lol. I dont have it cause im not using case, but im pretty sure most of owners will have them overtime with case

Yeah, I noticed that too. Some dots visible from specific angle. Using factory case too and I think these dots could be caused by it.

I ordered hard case from bewakoof.com right after buying the device..I am not gonna use that ****ty cover of Xiaomi's!

From my expirience it doesnt matter what case you use, if phone back is made from metal and you use case, sooner or later you will have scratches on the back. Thats just how metal is.

Yes i know although using a quality case can reduce the dust and scratches!!

I installed a skin for my phone and haven't even looked at any cases for the phone from the time I installed it.

TPU, Seidio, etc cases actually cause MORE SCRATCHES!

I don't know why everyone here is TPU, Seidio, etc case fans...they actually cause more scratches!!
Why is this? Dirt and grime get in between the case and phone and everytime you hold your phone, it presses on the dirt/grime into the phone causes many microscratches.....
So why even put a case on? If you're going to get scratches on it, might as well leave the sides and back uncovered, right?
I understand that they are better at absorbring impacts, but it's going to do nothing to prevent micro scratches from happening

Before putting the case on make sure that there is no dirt or anything on the phone or the case and this isn't an issue. Also, I take my case off to charge it so I make sure its clean every day.

even if it is clean before you put the case on, dirt and grime still gets in there from pockets, etc...

Ok, as I said I take the case off daily and there is no "dirt or grime" on the phone or case at all. Don't know where you are using your phone the dump or something? Anyway its your choice but I think having more screen protection for dropping the phone is more important than some "micro scratches" that may or may not even get on the phone. Also you will get the same effect just putting it in your pocket or on the desk with no case so I don't see your argument.

sliding seidio cases on and off can also cause scratches....hapened with my OG evo
and no i dont take it to the dump...I just stick it in random pockets usually.
Screen protectors are also pointless....I haven't scratched any of my last 4 smartphones every since gorilla glass came out
In fact, when I did have a screen protector on my evo, it got so scratched, it ruined the functionality
I find it funny when people point out scratches on their screen protector and act like that scratch still would have been there without it....those screen protectors are soft compared to glass...and glass is 6.5 on the MOHS scale while metal is around 5.5

Do you have the problem with the charger not fitting in properly when the case is on? I discivered that last night and its pretty annoying. Even the OEM charger that came with the phone doesnt fit.
i always buy a screen saver that comes with the back piece and put that on before i put a case on

the tpu diztronic case's holes aren't cut out properly
i dont know why everyone raves about diztronic...i think they suck in my opinion...they dont properly cut out the holes and it causes issues
There was an issue with the sgsII case too, where it was very hard to even press on the volume rocker

I think the charger fits with my case but I take it off just to allow more ventilation as the battery pack can get warmer when charging. I also had an issue on my old phone where the case would dye into the backing on the phone but that wouldn't really be an issue with this phone since I have the blue model not the white one.
This thread is funny IMO
Cases are great for their intended use, and I've never had a single scratch result from using one.
Have no clue why the OP seems so emotional about it..

Bumpergate part 2! You should tell your mac friends to sue.
At eyecon82: have you had any experience with Otter Boxes? I had that on my S1 and GNex with no issues at all but found them too bulky. I put my phone now, my S3 in my pocket every day. I bought the Samsung Flipcover for mine (blue) with the express reason to "cover" the screen while it roams around my pocket and even then there's dust and stuff on it. No scratches mind you.
I'm of the opinion that protection is a must for people and if it's more important than scratches, then that be it. For others, like me, I want my device safe and sound, scratch free and not broken from any falls.
Bottom line, if I get too nerveous with this Flipcover on, then I'll buy a better cover to protect my phone from falls. I'll get the one with the best reviews, whatever that is. Cheap is not the answer (it's nice if possible not not required), I don't mind paying.
With these high-end phones they need PROTECTION. I don't care if you never dropped your phone or broke a phone, accidents will happen. This happened to me on my previous phone and I learned my lesson for it.
Currently have a Clear Belkin TPU case and Zagg Invisible Shield HD. Awaiting my Otterbox Defender for this bad boy.

I disagree....if you are careful with your phone, you should be ok
I'm not going to spend another $30 to make my phone twice as thick and fat...esp with sexy slim devices
The way I figure, I saved at least $150 from not buying cases, screen protectors, etc in the last 4 years. Plus I saved $10 a month for the last 4 years from insurance..so that is $480, plus the $100 or so deductible
this totals out to a possible $730 in savings...much more than I need to buy a brand new SGSIII for $550 in case i break mine....
I rather take all that money and put it in a CD or mutual fund and you'll come out on top eventually
Anyways, here are some examples of a case using seidio active X case....it did more harm than good!!

i would make a point not to drop my phone in beach sand.
I clean my cases weekely and remove the battery cover and blown out with compressed air. If you value your device, I would reccomend the same. WEEKLY.

that is not how grime gets in beteen...I have never been to a beach...i dont like it and I already have enough of a tan
However, even cleaning it weekly won't prevent the "sandpaper" effect...what if you clean it on monday..then get junk in it on tuesday? that is 6 days worth of sandpaper like friction going on...not worth it in my opinion

Well, I just have a simple tpu case from best buy that came in a 2-pack for $25. There is no way it has the ability to do anything close to the phone even if you cut up the case and intentionally tried to scratch the phone.

Because I don't give a crap about scratches to the body of the phone. That's why. My primary concerns are keeping the screen from being scratched when laid face-down on a surface, and to help a bit with shock when dropped.

I can understand that! That is def a plus!
but instead of a TPU case, you might as well get a "bumper" type of case...there is no reason to protect the back of the phone since it can be easily replaced for $10

SGP Neo Hybrid

Just got my nexus 5 and the SGP Neo Hybrid in on the same day and I must say this case duo is amazing! It covers the phone perfectly and protects the screen and camera when placing it down on a flat surface.

how do the buttons feel? do the metallic buttons have any play? When you press them, can you feel the actual click of the button?
I bought a neo hybrid case for a different phone about a year ago and while it did make the phone look great, it didn't last very long. The case was two pieces... A tpu case and a plastic frame that went over that to secure the tpu to the device. I'm not sure if this case for the N5 works in the same way so I'm hesitant to buy it. What ended up happening to my old case is the plastic frame eventually broke and I'm hoping that won't be the case for this one. Can you tell me if this may be a problem with this one too?

my guess is that as long as you don't constantly take it off and on and put any unnecessary stress on the plastic frame, it should be fine and last at least a year.

They did fix it for the Galaxy S4 with a revision (the area around the port charger) since the plastic is thinnest there. This one... doesn't look like they attempted on preventing the same issue.

Again I want this case too. I love how it looks. But I already own 2 for the 2 Galaxy S4, one which had the area snapped around the port charger, and both had their paint finish starting to bubble and peel.
Looks great! I've got my Neo Hybrid case sitting on the counter in the packaging, waiting for my Nexus 5 to arrive Thursday. It's gonna be a long 3 days of waiting.

I find the case uncomfortable to hold. Edges dig into the hands a little. I received the fix from I case also and it fit perfect and follows the phone contours better. Just my opinion though.

Buttons feel good, it has that 'tick' to it. A bit sensitive on the power button side, but it doesn't accidently get pressed on. Just doesn't require a lot of effort to push it in.

I wasn't sure what to say because this phone is bigger but yeah it doesn't offer much grip.
In terms of it holding up, I sure hope that it does, I saw that they had a 90-day warranty on the case so we'll see what happens. The back doesn't leave any fingerprints. I will say this for sure, the phone feels REALLY REALLY REALLY good without a case on.

If you had a Nexus 4 and the official LG bumper, the buttons on the case is pretty much very similar to that.

Yeah, this is why I'm so excited about the Neo Hybrid with the silver edging. I love the look and feel of the official LG bumper on my nexus 4 and was hoping to replicate it with the Nexus 5. The Neo Hybrid is EXACTLY what I've been looking for.

Its exactly what it is and has more protection with the extra piece inside. From what I can tell (im charging the phone right now) it doesnt touch the outer piece or cause any pressure to it. Theres a gap between them (very minor but enough that it doesnt pressure it).

I'm not sure I am following. The back of the phone doesn't touch the inside backing of the case? Or are you saying the case button covers don't pressue the phone's buttons?
I can't decide, the black slate looks gun metal blue-ish thesilver looks very good too.

I actually have the red one. the clear back side actually gets a lot of scratches and fingerprints, unless you have the white nexus 5. Its a pretty simple case and saved my phone couple of times from minor drops. ( no screen protector).

This looks like one of the hybrid cases with the clear back removed. I'd bet money that's exactly what it is. Probably made in the same factory, they just don't put the back in these. I'll never understand the allure of bumper cases. They made sense with the iPhone 4/4s but for any other phone I think they are just pointless and ugly.

Is a decent protection while keeping it close to the original phone shape and weight. If you drop it, it can take most of the impact instead of your phone taking the impact. It also protect the glass part somewhat since it is rise on the front so if you put it on the table face down it is not touching the glass.
What's up with that rectangle bit sticking out on the back? Is that for anything particular? It kind of kills the flow.
looks like a cheap imitation of the iblason one

I mean I get it, but I just understand why people like them so much. But to each their own. The aluminum one (theres a thread for it somewhere) was somewhat OK, but this one looks like it's missing half the case.

agree, only phones with glass backing like the nexus 4/ iphone4/s need that back clear covering! otherwise a bareback bumper is fine!

[Q] Corners of the leather backs getting worn out too easily?

Hey guys,
I've been using the G4 recently while travelling in Italy since June 6th, and the corners of the phone on the leather back are getting worn out already. I'm just trying to figure out if this is a mistake from my wrongdoing (mostly just pulling the phone out to take a pictures and back into a jeans pocket), or if it's something more like a manufacturing flaw. I've not been using the phone while my hands are wet or that sort of thing as far as I know but I've been caught in the rain maybe about twice while in Italy.
Check out the attached pictures for examples.
It's a manufacturing flaw. I have the same problem here and I don't know what else to do.

grab a quarter and play scratch off.... looks like theres a standard space gray cover less than a millimeter below that leather
...you seriously expected high-end leather on a cell phone? You know how much it would cost and how thick/bulky it would be if it had high-end leather on it?
The "leather" back is a marketing gimmick, nothing more. It's a 0.5mm-thin "skin" over the standard plastic back and will wear out very quickly. It's crap.
I have a black leather version and I had it for over two weeks now and its not any worna t all on the edges. It's a bit more shiny on the edges now but that's it. I've heard people saying that the brown one is a bit more soft than the black one so that might be it. I've been using the phone like normal and I haven't thought about being careful or so putting it in my pockets. Maybe buy a black one? I'm gonna get a yellow or the grey one when I can andi hope its the same kind of "hardness" as the black one.
I thread already exist for this issue here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-leather-peeling-t3133239
But yeah the leather backs are cheap.. I exchange mine for other issues but notice my corners was also getting worn out.. Even after exchanging my phone I still chose the leather back because they just look better then the plastic back.

Dropping the phone

I just ordered my Phone from gearbest. SHould arrive somewhere next week.
I watched the verge hands-on video and one of their phones cracked after a single drop, not very high even. Is the ceramic back that shatterprone? It kinda scares me. I really dislike covers, hardly ever use them. I do drop my phone sometimes, but so far I have never cracked a screen in 10y of smartphone use. I wonder if I'll have to invest in a cover for this phone or not.
my mix 2 arrived 2 days ago, and i must say that it is REALLY slippery, althought i won't be using any covers ( i hate them ) i'll just be extra careful when holding it...as far as cracks are concerned, i just think it depends on the drop dynamic

You need a case. Durability of phones seems to be on the decline as screens keep getting more bezel-less plus manufacturers know that most people throw their phone in a case as soon as they get it.
Hopefully replacement backs are available soon, just in case something happens.

Yeah, but I hate cases. Buying a beautiful phone, with great design and super thin, just to put it in a fat, thick and ugly case
I guess I'll try the included case for a while. Although it's probably not very good at protecting?

Clear silicon soft cases are my solution. Relatively thin and at least offer some protection whilst still showing the phone itself. I generally order two or three different types because of fit and quality but always get a Nillkin if available.

I have always felt the same way. I appreciate good build quality and hate covering it (which even scratches backs most of the time). That being said, I am not taking any risks with this phone because while it may be the most beautiful phone I've ever owned, damaging it would be that much more painful. It's also much harder to get and fix than the Galaxies I used to not mind fixing or even replacing. The case it comes with is also very thin and pretty nice for making the camera flush. I might pop it out while I'm at work or something though.
I ended up getting a clear matte skin for the back. Adds grip and reduces fingerprints.

I dropped mine on asphalt. It landed on a corner butter side down. Came away with nary a scratch on the aluminum frame and no scratches on the screen. I still go naked lol.

Mobile outfitters. It was pricey, but overall happy with it.

Can you post a few pics? Also does it cover the sides or only the back/front?
And did you get the clear one?
