White ceramic unibody

[scdoyle]

I purchased a black Mix 2 on release and have been liking it so much since that I ordered the white ceramic version, mainly because I am a sucker for premium materials. Well today, it finally arrived!

Initial impressions are that the build is indeed quite special and the lack of seam between the back and the frame makes it so smooth. The finish has an almost translucent look to it. But boy, is it slippery! To put a case on it would be criminal so going to have to handle it carefully.

Have not used it much yet but the 8GB does feel even more zippy - maybe it's a bit imagined but it does seem to open and switch between apps faster.

For me, the size and weight of this phone is perfect.

My pics don't really do it justice!

I bet that one is really a ***** to find a case for since it's slightly different dimensions from the regular one.

Yeah good point - though it does come with a white case. Looks like it would get dirty pretty quickly however.

This one is going naked!

Looks amazing. I couldn't imagine how slippery that thing can be, but you're right, you can't put it in a case. Maybe go with a clear skin for added grip? Mobile Outfitters sells skins for the Mix 2. I know the dimensions aren't the same, but it still might work.

I had the first mix... and it was a nightmare to get a decent case for it. The Mix 2 is better...but not by a ton. I originally wanted to get the full ceramic version but I doubt there will be any aftermarket cases at all.. a niche within a niche.

Are y going to use some screen protector or protective film for the back?

I like that! :laugh: I'm going to use that phrase if you don't mind..

No..it feels too nice. My black one is still pristine so I am confident in the quality of Xiaomi's ceramics.

And whats about screen?

 

[scdoyle]

I haven't used screen protectors on phones for a while now. I find the glass on recent phones just doesn't scratch anymore.

I am curious where one can buy this full ceramic version.

AliExpress

Yep - that's where I got it. Mi Global Store.

I wish... I don't remember the last phone screen I scratched and I never use screen protectors. Probably 20 phones a year I go through... I've had this mix 2 for less than a week and I already have some scratches just from it going in my pocket. Haven't dropped it or anything. They aren't super noticeable but annoying.
