three new cases to add

360 Case
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/GKK...pered-Glass-Screen-Protector/32664218472.html
this case wraps the phone giving a PDA look, it's made of hard plastic, it has metal buttons (they aren't actually buttons), it gives a good feeling when holding the phone, but offers little protection in my opinion, and can be little cracks and crevices for dust to get into (lines on the back and under the front), the case is ok but I'm not a huge fan of the looks, if they made it without the front I would like it better, you also loose the button backlights because of the metal buttons.

Hard Plastic Case (#2)
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/For...berized-Hard-Case-For-Xiaomi/32737302170.html
This case does have some pros for example it has a raised edge so the plastic goes over the glass giving protection to the glass similar to a silicone case, it has a anti-fingerprint paint, however its ugly, glossy, slippery, and the sides move when squeezing it giving a uneasy feeling like the phone will fall out even though it's pretty hard to remove the phone.

Carbon case
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Lat...Carbon-Fiber-Texture-Brushed/32759817929.html
This is my favorite case now, its nearly perfect, it has raised edges over the screen, slim but still would offer some nice protection, no plastic trim pieces to worry about, the material makes the buttons more firm so you don't accidentally press them, back has a nice back texture to it (like thousands of lines) for anti-slip, great feeling when holding it instead of round corners they added a rectangle that goes around making it great to hold, doesn't mess with the tempered glass either...

Has anyone got the above case, I ordered this weekend because they are on deal with free glass protector bundle. Even cheaper using the app.

I have it, I didn't use the screen protector that came with it though since I already have an expensive nilkin glass protector, but that case might look/work better using it's included glass since it's made to fit in the gap

Have anyone here tested metal cases? Are they good at shock absorbing? What about the design? Are they scratched easily? What's your idea?

I haven't seen many metal cases , I have one that has a aluminum bumper/frame, but plastic back, I liked the aluminum feel but the plastic was not so good and scratched all up, as for durability / scratching I guess it depends on metal / paint / design, I don't think a metal case would offer much protection vs a silicon tpu case since there is no absorption with metal, force would probably shatter the glass.

GKK Ultra Thin Armor Case Hybrid PC phone Case

GKK Ultra Thin Armor Case Hybrid PC phone Case For Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 .

After 37 days delivery to Ireland, I finally received the case.

The free glass bundle is not an extra glass for the device. The case fits the phone fine, with only tiny slits on the back and front where the two pieces meet. The case kind of feels slippery in the hand! (My nilkon case had better grip).

The protective glass fits the slot in front and doesn't cover all the phone. Haven't put the glass on yet, want to make sure I going to use the case. Plus the normal screen protector is still in good condition after 6 months of use.

Edit: - Actually I like this case and put on the Glass Protector as lip on the cover near screen was to deep without it! It was also easy to put on with no bubbles left, but some did appear but a good rub got rid of them.

Note:- Male sure you have the case on first, so you get the position of glass correct.

    So I kinda bought a ton of cases to test and these I found the best to worse
    Cases
    1. Heavy duty Shield Armor case - this case is awesome doesn't feel slippery has a nice high edge over the screen, high quality material I would feel safe if phone dropped in this case- its great, doesn't feel bulky like the ipaky case, fits the contours of the phone - perfect
    http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Xiao...-TPU-PC-Shockproof-Anti-slip/32651903565.html

    2. Dragon and business series high quality Ultra thin TPU Case , this case is very nice it fits the phone very nicely and has raised edges, and protected corners I think it would protect from a drop, has a nice non slippery feeling, but also a slim feeling like the original phone interesting vol/power buttons, has vent lines in the tpu to let airflow around the phone. -
    (cases like this might effect the camera flash- I have not tested the flash with this case yet)

    --

    3. Standard silicone case (came with phone, decent, probably better then no case in case of a fall / or scratches)

    -- the ones below are substandard and I would only buy if you can get them cheap
    4. Royal Plating Gilded Metal Aluminum+Acrylic Hard Case - this is real Aluminum for the edges has a nice cool feeling, the back is made of plastic that scratches and looks like an iphone - I hate it, but at the same time I like the cool feeling of the edge aluminum.
    (cases like this might effect the camera flash- I have not tested the flash with this case yet)

    5. Ipaky case, it looks ok, fits ok, but feels too slippery in my opinion due to the smooth plastic on the sides, the rubber on the bottom doesn't even help, plastic is cheap (I bought the original) , if it was metal or had textured sides I would have a different opinion, has vent lines in the tpu to let airflow around the phone.
    http://www.aliexpress.com/item/100-...otective-cover-free-shipping/32568615281.html

    6. mofi flip cases, I hate flip cases it's hard to use the FP sensor and take photos , and they get dirty. (came with phone)

    --
    Tempered Glass
    1. Nillkin Glass I bought the H+ Pro version (expensive, has a slightly more premium feel, not sure if it's worth the price over the Xiaomi one)
    http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Nill...omi-Redmi-Note-3-Smart-phone/32581143059.html
    2. Xiaomi glass (came with phone says made for xiaomi - white case)
    3. 55 cent glass - bought this for backups it's cheap, was surprised how nice it was.
    http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2-5D...iaomi-Redmi-2-3-Redmi-Note-2/32653896625.html

    they are all similar, 55cent glass doesn't have 2.5D edge

    --
    Camera glass protection
    1. Tempered Glass Camera Lens Protector - good adhesion - glassx3.
    http://www.aliexpress.com/item/For-...-Cover-Tempered-Glass-Film/1000001182472.html
    2. if you buy a nillkin screen protecter it will come with camera film protection (not glass), but it will protect
    3. buy a replacement note 3 back battery cover - comes with camera lens costs about twice the price of the glass protector ($7)

    -- I heard camera might be slightly effected and loose some light input with the glass protector I have not tested yet.

    Redmi Note 3 2.5D Glass Screen Protector from Xiaomi Official
    PS. DO NOT BUY this glass screen protector, it is too soft and mine cracks just after 2 days of use. I bought another one from another brand, hopefully its 8-9H hardness could last longer.
