I didnt think about that until I saw that the covers seller also has sim card trays on sale... So, I guess not... Anyway it costs something like 11€... I prefer to stick with the white tray than paying 11€ for that little piece of **** that should come with the cover... Maybe I'll paint it myself...

They should not be originals as Xiaomi quotes this phone's cover as non removable.
Anyway they come from china... just like xiaomi's:)

When I receive mine (can´t wait to turn my baby to gray) i'll post my impressions here...
Also bought an external cover and a tempered glass...
Great, i'll wait your impression then! Thanks :p

I've brought a white one from the same page, I'll let you guys know when I get mine.

I have a weird blue stain on my standard one. I put it on an outside table and when I picked it up it had loads of blue stains on it! Tried getting them of with various methods that have helped but you can still see it in some lights and it annoys the hell out of me.

Also had problems with my white cover. Bought a cover to protect it and after 10 minutes inside the cover, the back of the phone was almost completely black also... Like if I had painted with a pencil... And I tried everything to take it off unsuccessfully. Wanted to kill the men on the store but how could he know.
Since then I dont know how... It's disappearing and it's almost completely white again.
It's really weird how this happens.

I've been reading about polycarbonate and it looks like it's a very special type of plastic. Very sensitive and requires some special care.

That's why now I bought a tpu cover :)

And just to inform you guys in case you dont know, because I thought the same when I ordered my cover... There is no black color option. The one we see in pics is the gray... Dark gray.
I also asked for a black one and they told me there was no black mi4c. After that I've searched and they are right... It's gray... Then I ordered it ")

I'm still waiting for mine... Dark gray... It probably will arrive during this week.
I had seen that white one on sale... and looks like the original so, why not? And it's cheaper but in my case I always wanted to have the gray version which was not available when I bought the fone.

Anyway if it arrives... I'll leave a word in here...

But the link I posted says the item is not available anymore... Is it possible that they had problems with xiaomi?
Xiaomi says it's not removable and they sell the back cover...
