I heard the worst from two members in the Greek Xiaomi forum for the "brotect"

edit: now one member say that is ok the "brotect"
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] kurdes:
No, this case doesnt fit! I ordered it, have you even tried it before advertising it????
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] h4gH:
Here is the local store offer from Czech republic:

Case:

Glass:

https://www.xiaomiobchod.cz/tvrzene...-pro-xiaomi-redmi-note-3-special-edition.html

It is quite expensive... Around 32$ for both including shipping within Czech republic. Well anyway just ordered both and can let you guys know once arrived. But from other forum discussion (Czech MIUI forum) this is already confirmed about proper fitting for our Kate.

Honestly have no idea about possible abroad shipping, but I am afraid this won't be possible from this shop.

Edit: there is also flip cover available:

https://www.xiaomiobchod.cz/pouzdra...dmi-note-3-special-edition-6954176883858.html

Smart cover function should be working according to the product description.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] xsycox:
These look the same like the ones in the Taiwan shop, so they should fit.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] BigBlarg:
Here is a public service announcement for everyone posting links :

If you have to stretch the case : IT ****ING DOESN'T FIT.

Thank you.

- From a butthurt buyer who bought a $15 case after buyer reported that it would fit the Kate version when he could have bought any $1 TPU case for the Kenzo version on eBay instead.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] N1ko5zAN:
They should fit, but the czech shop only ships to Czech Republic and Slovakia . . .
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] xsycox:
Yeah, and they are way too expensive.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] N1ko5zAN:
Well, I wouldn't really care to pay the 15euros they cost if it would end my endless search for a case ... but still .. no shipping, no party ... :p:p:cyclops:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] xsycox:
Well, get some guys together and order at

the Taiwan store with LGB! They order, what

Hi, i'm interested in the Flip Cover. But on the pictures, it's seem, that they don't have a hole for the Fingerprintscanner. Can you confirm this? Perhaps show some pictures of the Flip cover?

Can i ask you, how much did you pay for the shipping and the proxy buyer?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] flubba86:
I paid $34.99 USD for the three cases, that included the cost of the cases, the price of internal Taiwan shipping to the proxy buyer (from three different sellers) and proxy buyer fees/commission.

After that, I paid $10.90 USD for Shipping of the package from Taiwan to Australia.

It was more than I would normally pay for cases, but I'm happy with my purchase, and they all fit the phone well.

I got three different cases because I didn't know for sure which ones were likely to fit correctly.

In the future, if I were purchasing multiple cases, I would ensure they are all from the same seller, to save on internal Taiwanese shipping, plus proxy buyer commission costs.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] yuvalrozin:
Hi man that's great news! Any chance you could add shipping to Italy?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] svenni1985:

[MENTION=7836478]svenni1985[/MENTION]. A member of the Greek Miui community has arranged 2 mass orders from Taiwan with the aid of the intermediate agent. I ordered one flip case and one hard back case and the total cost with regular post was a little above €10. Both orders were in Greece within 6 days and we are absolutely satisfied. You should try for yourself and -why not- offer the cases in a better price.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] svenni1985:
I have a case from Taiwan with a collective order. About 10 euros I paid.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] theybface:
Thank you again for your helpful informations. So i think, i have to start a order by myself. Eventually a mass order to germany.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] sokpap71:
Xiaomi's customer service sucks for two main reasons. They haven't updated PcSuite in order to work with the Kate international (!) version and you have to download the Chinese version and, moreover, they do not provide cases but only in Taiwan. How do they intend to sell phones to global markets?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] mesplamax:
The phone wasn't intended for global market, just for Taiwan. The fact that we use the phone outside Taiwan doesn't mean they will make it easy for us to buy accessories, repair it or use a fully functional pc suite in English...

Hmm, this flip case holds the phone by adhesive tape. The pictures also doesn't show if it comes with the cut outs for the fingerprint reader and camera.

I'm in doubt that this flip case was really designed for the special edition. Be careful.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] h4gH:
Just an update as I was finally able to test the cover. As expected, it fits perfectly:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] h0LLe:
It's a hard shell or is there any soft Material between the smartphone and the case? I'm afraid of scratches..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] h4gH:
It is all hard shell so there will be some scratches definitely :(
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] haluk:
Thanks, I´m not going to order some of these. Just waiting for the shipment from Taiwan with the original Cases.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] h0LLe:
one more question ... is it as slippery as the naked device itself?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] rattensuppe:
No, it has somewhat of a "rubbery" feel to it. Even though it's a hard shell, it's not slippery at all.

Just wondering if the link is still accurate since I don't see anywhere anything mentioned about this fitting the Kate. Are all the ports accessible, or does it mean squeezing and stretching and stuff?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] rattensuppe:
He provided a youtube link. why don't you just check that out?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] oroboros74:
I did, did you? The main problem with the incompatibility of these cases are the ports on the top and the bottom, and those you can't see from his video.

I ordered the case from Gearbest http://www.gearbest.com/cases-leather/pp_471485.html?vip=329970.

Sadly the case is for Kenzo and does not fit the RN3 Kate properly. I managed to squeeze it on but does not cover the top and bottom of the phone completely. I'm using it for now though until I find a proper Kate version. It looks very nice and the phone feels almost like it's not in a case.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] DebianUser:
I found this and ordered it:

http://www.gearbest.com/cases-leather/pp_471488.html

Gearbest says it's for international version (kate) and product size says 152. I'll post when I get it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] Finki:
It will not fit.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] DebianUser:
How do you know?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] Finki:
It is only for "Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro". There is no mentioning of international or special edition in the offer. Also the answer to the question below the product only references to "Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro". The seller obviously does not know about special edition.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] DebianUser:
Product Size(L x W x H): 15.20 x 7.76 x 1.04 cm / 5.98 x 3.06 x 0.41 inches

Considering it's a flexible case it should be able to fit.

Edit: I cancelled my order.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] Finki:
It will not really fit. I own a similar one.

I don't really understand how there isn't a case for this phone considering it's been out for like couple months and there is a decent amount of demand for it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] drdedus:
There are cases that fit 99%.

The problem is the protection for the screen.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] Finki:
Which ones?

Use protectors from Redmi Note 2, match except for camera-hole, but does not matter.

Many resellers call the "Kate" international version.

I just ordered mine at Geabrest.com.

They call it international and the description says it has LTE Band 20 (o² Germany user here; need 800MHz Band).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] El_Nino9:
there are 3 versions of this phone,

#china vesion with mediatek

#international for india market mainly with the SD650 but at 150mm

#Special edition sometimes has an i at the end depending on the seller to add to the confusion which is for Taiwan and is 152mm

the previous user did not say anything wrong. special edition for Taiwan is codename Kate. "international" version is kenzo.

look it up on Miui site and even xiaomi.eu site if you are so adamant. good luck

---------- Post added at 06:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 PM ----------

all the best. please let us know if they fit
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] t-ryder:
Damn it. This so is so confusing.

One would need a sheet with a comparison of ALL details with exact names and codenames. Shame on Xiaomi for not making it clearer. I hope I really get the device I wanted with LTE band 20. This is what I ordered and it says LTE band 20 in the description.

http://gearbest.com/cell-phones/pp_502848.html

I ordered a brotect hybrid glass right away from eBay for it. I would need a fitting TPU case, matte, dark and simple with less details and stuff. Just as the original TPU cases for early Xiaomi devices. Had one for my Mi4 back then, it was perfect.

Gesendet von meinem ONEPLUS A3003 mit Tapatalk
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] stuntmanmike82:
Yes. This is the wright one. I have bought the same. At gearbest they call it International version. It has LTE Band 20 and is 2mm longer than kenzo because of lte.

Its kate or special editition or International version.

When it has the snapdragon and lte band 20 its always KATE!

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] mesplamax:
Be sure to print it in a flexible material, otherwise you will have some trouble fitting the phone in the case. When you do it, let us know how well did it go.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] gregsoir:
and look at the note:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] DebianUser:
I asked the seller specifically if it's 152mm and he said it was. :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] t-ryder:
Thank you, Sir.

As I mentioned this is very confusing.

So I bought the right screen protector @ eBay and all I need is the minimalistic dark matte TPU case now.

Redmi Note 3 special edition = Kate = international version @ gearbest = official global version (or so) @ other shops = LTE band 20 version / 15.25cm device size = pro version ?!

So look at the screenshot I took at the gearbest product page of

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro 4G 32GB ROM Phablet

International Version 5.5 inch Android 6.0 Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 64bit Hexa Core 1.8GHz Fingerprint ID 3GB RAM 16.0MP + 5.0MP Cameras FHD Screen

They don't know it is "Kate" then and call it international?!

On the Xiaomi Site there are

Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm Global

Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm China

Redmi Note 3 Special Edition Global

Redmi Note 3 MTK China

ROMs and those are the device names by Xiaomi I guess.

Somebody should create a list with names and codenames and comparing basic specs and network bands.

I am going nuts. What were those Xiaomi folks responsible thinking when creating this mess?

:confused: :mad: :eek:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] stuntmanmike82:
Its a little confusing but when the phone has LTE Band 20 its always KATE. Or how xiaomi calls it the special editition.

Only some Shops created the name International version which is not the official name of the phone by xiaomi. But they call it International because of the lte band 20. The answers of gearbest Support are bad because they have no idea of anything!

The Problem with kate is that there is not a lot of Accessoires for the phone on the market and also not a lot of Roms.

So if you dont need lte band 20 you can also buy KENZO with the snapdragon and 3gb RAM. The only difference is the lte and the length.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] DebianUser:
Kate also has LTE Band 2 and 4 which Kenzo doesn't have. There are some sellers that say Kenzo does have, but their forum says it doesn't have. I've been reading it works on some peoples phone, then some people say that later roms disabled it. Not 100% sure what is going on with that.

en.miui.com/thread-299743-33-1.html
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] El_Nino9:
as mentioned below, some of the sellers are clueless. hope its what you wanted

correct. most people stretch kenzo cases over kate devices with they use those types. it will not fit kate

this is interesting.

I find this is plausible but I don't mean to sound negative, but some users assume their network only work on 1 lte band while they may have several bands which they use in different areas. but sometimes it is possible to unlock bands on phones too..

now they should know where most their phones are being used.

if they are on official rom and ota, they know our location. if we request unlock code, we need to give our phone number so they know this too.

I don't understand why they don't build one device for those bands.

for example, there is no need for mediatek device and QUALCOMM.

if you don't want to pay india Ericsson case to sell mediatek devices, then please just build QUALCOMM devices for all the market. have china rom and global rom. surely this will save cost and increase sales

I went through letsgobuy-tw to order some screen protector and cases from the official MI Taiwan website. And the package arrived today!

1 blue-gray hard case

1 silver hard case

1 blue-gray flip case

2 screen protectors (though I should've only ordered one. I didn't realize it comes with a practice one and 2 actuals).

Total came out to be 1,424 NTD (~$45 USD) which isn't too bad for 5 things. They were super responsive as well. I submitted my order form at 11AM and they literally responded by about 12PM. And I got payment confirmation pretty much immediately after I paypaled them.

Dunno if the link to thingiverse has already been posted.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] mesplamax:
If you know how to use SolidWorks, you can edit the case and make it thicker (it's 1.25mm thick)... I did so and now it's 2mm thick and in a couple of weeks I will have access to a 3d printer. I will post the results as soon as I print it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] appolyon:
That's a great idea. How did you go about it? Did you just send them a link to the store and tell them what you wanted them to track down? Or did you provide links to each item? I'm struggling to find accessories on the site using google translate.

Edit: Well just managed to track down the accessories page, but they don't seem to have the hard shells any more which is a shame.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Accessories] nimagooy:
They have a form where you paste the URL of the items, the product name, color, quantity.

Yeah, oddly I just checked too and seems like it says they temporarily took the hard shells off the store. Hm, I wonder why..

So it looks like these are the only Kate accessories available:
