I initially planned to only buy the casing from Ringke since I prefer how it looks compared to Spigen's. However, I then noticed that Ringke also produced tempred glass for Poco F1, so I ordered them both and have been using them for several days now.

Ringke Invisible Defender - tempered glass
This one came a couple days earlier than the case, so I have it on first while using the default casing.



Here are some of my thoughts:
  • There's not much of a problem precision-wise, the top and bottom part are well covered, the glass went way over the screen and into the bezel (Image A)
  • The side part is covered very precisely and didn't go over to the bezel part, too tight that for me it led to the issue below (Image B)
  • When in the dark, tilting the phone to the side reveal this rainbowish lines (Image C)
  • Using only the default slim casing, you can feel the edges of the glass are somewhat rough. The Ringke case below fixes this issue for me though, as the case cuts higher than the glass so it covers the rough gap. Ringke did explained on the product's page about having inevitable lifted sides due to the curved nature of the phone screen, so this might be the reason of that rough edge.





Ringke Fusion-X Casing
I've never use Ringke products prior to this phone, the packaging of the casing is somewhat minimalist. When applied to the phone, however, it feels satisfyingly fit to the phone. I have no complaint with the precision so far.

One more thing on the tempered glass: No oleophobic coating, it's a fingerprint magnet
Thank you for this wonderful post I am planning to buy ringke case....I am using poco since past 5 months with default tpu case, now it is turning yellowish brown like tpu cases do after a while.... Can you tell me what is the material on the transparent back of rinkey case ? And please tell if it gets scratches after usage of few months.....
Also did you find a tempered glass with decent olephobic coating and also which is not a rip off. I'm happy with my current one, only one issue that it is a finger print magnet too.....The screen looks dirty when phone is locked and I have to constantly wipe it to keep it clean

After 2 months of usage, no scratches yet. But I can't confirm on the back side material, my guess would be that it is plastic. So far I am really happy with the case, but not so much with the glass.

I still stick with the Ringke glass. My workaround is to coat it again with a liquid glass protection, just the cheap one. It isn't exactly fingerprint proof, but much better than using just the tempered glass.

Cool n thanks for quick reply...if you bought that liq glass protection online...can u please send me the link, I'll really appreciate it ?
And I was just worried about scratches on the back panel, since yours is okay so now I will happily buy Ringke case ?
And for the tempered glass I need to find something.... Hopefully that solution you are using will help.. because online if you buy tempered glass they say it has olephobic coating and anti finger print in product description but mostly it's just gimmick ??
C this is how smugged my phone gets....And it may look that I have touched it with oily figures, but trust me that ain't the case

No problem, happy to help. However, I can't help you with the link, as I don't think any store here (Indonesia) will ship overseas.

Whoa, that is a really bad case of prints you got there. When I said my glass is fingerprint magnet (before I put liquid coating), it actually wasn't even half as bad as yours!

Anyway, I am using this liquid to make up for that problem:

Cost me less than a couple of dollars :D

?? Told you it's really annoying, I have to keep wiping my screen after few hours or it looks quite dirty...I will try to find similar kind of solution here, or get tempered glass from local market instead of online, because online u can not be sure ? even this tempered said "anti figure print" ????
