Review with Spigen case: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1K4W8SW2PItzGmvf80u-GmhFrirSm6tsz/view?usp=drivesdk

Wrt to Spigen case, it's exactly not a perfect fit. You would have to carefully put in the case like how you would put a tight shoe on but it's possible. The same measures have to be taken everytime you put on the case. It's best you get it applied by a professional and tell him to plug in the charger while he is at it.

While adjusting or re-applying be sure nor to put pressure on the the camera and sensor cut outs as it's more prone to brakage due to paculiar surface tention.

I was really impressed with he clarity and touch response.

In the end don't regret putting such heavy money these items, do your due research, read reviews and buy products from Amazon which has good quality products at fraction of these prices...

Spigen is been in the business for a long time and is one of the top players for cases, you can check the Amazon review for Spigen cases for anyphone and you will find the average customer rating 4 starts or above.

I was initially in doubt about buying the case as i was eager to try out the Official Xiaomi's armoured case for POCO F1 but with the in-box silicon case's fit and protection, I have my doubts. Spigen costs 720, their cases are usually costly but I think they have priced it competitive to Xiaomi's 799 Rugged Armour Case.

Wrt to Nellkin tempered glass, I agree its comparatively costly compared to other products in Amazon but all the brands put there seems to be a just a distributors made up brand just for marketing a mass produced tempered glass.

Nellkin buys their glass from AGC Inc. a Japanese glass manufacturing company owned by Mitsubishi. So there is some quality aspect to it, so you have any idea what kind of material is used of the products sold on Amazon? Because you may be ending up paying 200 - 300 for a product whose raw material value is about 40 bucks, glass material is the core any tempered glass.

Nellkin seems to be the only tempered glass in market that actually covers " Edge to Edge" and with holes for "Notification light". I have used it my OP2 previously and I can garuntee it has a genuine Olephophic coating.

Amazon reviews for Nellkin OP2:

The screen replacement would cost me 6K, my regrets would be a broken screen even after buying a case and a tempered glass.

I know a lot of you are skeptical about purchasing from AliExpress, to be honest this is my first purchase too. But with regards to the brand i have used Nellkin before for my OP2.

Will make a review as soon as i receive it and it's fit wrt the Spigen case.
P.S:
I'm sharing below the details of the store from where i made the purchase, other stores may be offering for lower prices but the link posted above is the "Official Nellkin Store" certified by AliExpress as "Top Brands". Hence the genuinity of the product is not compromised.

Found this in Shopee Malaysia and price combining these 2 items is around RM100.50 after discount.
Wonder is the raised lips of the spigen case fit with the Nillkin CP+ tempered glass or not. If yes, then I probably will buy it.

I have the same doubts. I used the same combination for my OP2 but the case became a little loose. The Spigen case for POCO is a snug fit.

Will do, looking for alternative tempered glass if it doesn't work out. Any suggestions?
As for tempered glass, I have no idea. I am currently using an unknown brand tempered glass.lol... so many fingerprint that I need to wipe all the time and it is not covering full screen. So, if your finding is the combination is not fit, then I will just buy the case.lol

Nice video. After you fit with the Spigen case, does the case bite the Nillkin glass you put on? How was the glass, especially fingerprint issue?

And Lastly, drop test. hahahahaa :laugh:
