Guys I dont think that original case is good…It wont protect the three sides of the phone….So easy to get dented by bumps…..

……Also how is this case sticking to the back https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_eek.gif …Is it glue..Look @ the comment on that video “how to remove this cover? i want to change mine as the sides are exposed to scratches”


if it covers bottom then your speakers will get affected badly https://cdn3.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_sad.gif https://cdn3.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_sad.gif And at the top you will have SIM tray so you always have to have a cutout for that + Cutout for charging slot https://cdn3.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_sad.gif https://cdn3.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_sad.gif !


Or use two protection back case with cutouts + flip cover https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_toungueout.gif
I’ve seen that video but original looks classy.
Most of the back case I’ve seen is not correctly cut. Mi3 has two mics and most of the back cases dont provide cutouts for them.

someone on other thread said tempered sp blocks a bit of signal reception. I’m having second thoughts abt it now.

Lol was reading some reviews on flipkart and people commented that the phone does not have an built in equalizer and other crap !! How ignorant can the people be !! If you can’t even open sound settings and turn up your equalizer for your liking i really doubt they have even opened the settings !! Cribbing does not solve any problem !!!

another user has a problem a problem with the length of micro USB cable provided with the phone which i believe is standard in any phone https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_smile.gif https://cdn1.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_smile.gif Its almost like people are itching to find some or other issue . but at the same time came over many reviews where people accepted that there were no issues and it was the question of finding the right location !!!

Akshath bro, this one seems to have that opening @ the bottom for the speaker…. http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Card-for-samsung… …Is it any good…I saw an ebay.in listing for it too – http://www.ebay.in/itm/Double-Color-SGP-Cocose-…


looks like SIM tray cutout absent !!


Well I wont be swapping the sim that much…Also speaker cutout is not that much of a big deal for me…‘cause I’ll always use IEMs for music and stuffs…Is there any original spigen case available that looks like the one in that link….I think this korean spigen is a fake one,right? THough this one has got a lot of positive reviews – http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2014-New-Arrival… …All of the buyers happy with the quality..

I’m thinking of this + original back case https://cdn2.desidime.com/assets/textile-editor/icon_toungueout.gif . But it would make too bulky.

I guess then its better to have top and bottom panels open due to the minute differences . All those covering top and bottom panels will miss out on these issues !

No bulk purchase? Probably you will get before mine. Do share once you get it.
