Anyone using the hardshell cover from Takealot? I am still looking for feedback before pulling the trigger.

Phone can be slippery sometimes - almost dropped it inside Spar earlier.....

The item: http://www.takealot.com/tuff-luv-hard-case-back-cover-for-xiaomi-redmi-note-3-black/PLID42329373
Receiving that later today.
Will see what it's like. When I buy I phone, I usually buy like 5 covers for it on eBay and choose which one I like the best. More often than not, it's the cheapest one that wins

Cool, look forward to your feedback. I could buy it from Takealot and return if not happy, but I really don't like messing them around like that for a R200 item

Mine arrived with Fedex this morning. Updated without a problem, but haven't had time to do much else.

Also looking forward to hearing what you think of it. I ordered mine yesterday. Specifically, how flimsy is it?

Do you have another device to take some photo's to show your phone inside the cover, please? The TL photo's are rubbish
Mine aren't too much better.

Thanks! Any reduced functionality with the volume rocker or power button or do they still work 100%?

Do you think the black rubber surround would save the screen in a pocket high drop?

Set my wife's up today, very chuffed with the UI. Going to pick up the hardshell from Takealot tomorrow

Doesn't seem to be any reduced functionality. No idea about the pocket drop but I do feel it would help.
