Xiaomi Note 3 now R1899

[FlashSA]

I'm not really an early adopter so I'll let someone else be first

I will, but I wonder if my 2x remaining ADH on my S5 can be used towards the Xiaomi?

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

I got a softcover for my S2 PRO and am happy with it.

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

Just got it. It's quite hard at the back. The black edge is made of that rubbery plastic bendy stuff.

It looks cheap tbh. No different to the $2/$3 stuff I normally buy on eBay.

E.g. : http://m.ebay.com/sch/i.html?isRefi...49&cnm=Cases,+Covers+&+Skins&_sop=15&LH_BIN=1

Finger is off the trigger now - I don't like that soft rubber which will trap dirt IMO. I want a hard case all around the phone. Will keep looking locally as I am not keen to import.

anyone find a place around cape town that sells cases, im not really keen on takealot's offerings and don't feel like waiting 3 months for an order from china. I've been searching raru's uk and us import sections quite expensive as well, but I think I'll just settle with something like this https://raru.co.za/imports/uk/produ...rosted-shield-hard-case-back-cover-for-xiaomi

That looks much nicer than the Takealot one

Ja, but R300 for a cover

That's the thing it's still too flipping expensive I went to the cellphone shop in the China mall in Ottery in Cape Town and the guy never even heard of xiaomi, so I don't have too many choices left.

Got mine today, haven't opened it yet. I have a month old Redmi 3 Pro I got from geekbuying on xiaomi.eu MIUI 8.
What ROMs are are on guys? And thanks for the feedback those who have posted their experiences. I'll unwrap once the covers from geekbuying get here probably in a month or so.

There are a cr@p load of covers and screen protectors on bid or buy.

Also on MIUI 8 but had to get the developer version as stable is still on 7.5

Nope, I was fooled as well. Not one of the 3 shops holds local stock. Go read the shipping section =(

Did they deliver or did you fetch it?

Fetched it.

 

[weelzSA]

Just ordered a couple off ebay - even tho they say delivery between 24 October and 25 November - still really cheap so if they not the best really not that bad.
