[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] eng3:
I currently have a Huawei P30 pro. I needed case for two reasons. It was so slippery, it would literally slide down in my hand unless I gripped it very tightly. I didn't want the camera bump or screen hitting the table every time I put the phone down. I bought the Rhinoshield Crashguard bumper. The product is only made for apple now and looks different than before. It was just a frame around the edges of the phone and it left the back open. The top and bottom were raised enough that the camera bump and screen would never touch the table. Yet the sides were thin so I couldn't feel it. This is the kind of thing I'm looking for.

Are there any bumpers for the 14 Ultra (or were there for the 12/13 ultra) that have no back? If I buy a beautiful expensive phone, I don't want to immediately cover up half of it. The phone is big enough, I want to add as little as possible to it.

The 12/13/14 Ultra has the leather back and less curved screen so maybe the phone is not as slippery. But I think I still need some protection. I still assume that if I dropped it onto concrete on a corner, it would leave a mark on the phone at minimum. They also have the huge camera bump. A little less in the 14 ultra. I don't want to be hitting the edge of the ring every time I put down the phone. That feels like it would be bad for the phone. I wonder if there is some sort of ring that can go around it to protect it. like the lens/filter adapter ring on the photography kit. Or a rubberband like thing. Ofcouse being round, I guess the phone will want to tend to roll a bit. I could ofcourse put the phone down the other way, but in that case, I still want something raised to protect the screen. Sometimes I want to put down the phone so I can see the screen.

I'm curious if others have found solutions that give some protection while not covering up the whole phone. What did 12/13 Ultra users use?
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] Michael_Frencken:
Pay Attention to the offers in AliExpress.

At least the cheap Nillkin Cases are Fakes.

Bought this one and its a crap made from hard plastic. Nothing in common with the original cases.

https://a.aliexpress.com/_ExVnjs1
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] eng3:
I've been looking at AliExpress too.

The one you linked looks interesting because it seems like the back can separate from the sides.

Its 49 cents so I'm not surprised its crap though. I'd prefer a slightly flexible "rubberized" plastic than hard.

I'm basically thinking about three options right now.

1. get (or make?) a bumper going around the edge only but with the top and bottom thick enough to protect the camera module

2. get a bumper like your link but only use the edge then find/make a ring to go around the camera module

3. get a bumper case like the one that comes with the phone with a clear window allowing you to see the leather back and glossy enough to use as a mirror. I kind of got use to my P30 Pro's glass back using it as a mirror.
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] eng3:
Anyone else buy a case for this phone? or is everyone using it naked? I'm curious what 12/13Ultra users did to protect the bump without adding alot of bulk
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] veimus:
I'm looking for a case with good camera & screen protection, as for now I've received three of those cases from AliExpress:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006627063490.html

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006621803259.html

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006629605463.html

What I don't like in those; a screen protection level is kinda low on them, case edges are ending on the same level as display or little above, so when the phone drops with screen pointing down, it will most likely get busted.

I'm looking for rugged case recommendation or at least with the bezels to be few millimeters above screen level like in the pic below as example

[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] eng3:
Thanks for letting me know about those cases. There are so many on ali it's hard to sort out. Some seem the same.

Check the description, some will lost the clearance measurement. The first doesn't say. The second says 1mm. The third says 0.8mm which I've seen on many

Also, I'm not sure how this type of glass breaks. Usually, glass is stressed so if it hits on the edge, it will break but strong if it hits on the face do a good bumper should be enough.

I understand if it barely gets up to the screen height, I don't know how much protection to the edge it will give.

I'm more worried about the camera glass

I've seen bumper with an metal frame but I fear it will affect the antenna

What's wrong with a cheap £4.50 case like this off eBay fully protects the camera glass

I ordered one of those cheap nillkin cases to beat on but I also ordered the official Xiaomi case too

https://a.aliexpress.com/_mquB52K

Pretty certain it's the same case you get with the photography kit which I likely won't ever buy
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] DarkAlpha:

I will give a feedback asap i received it.
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] veimus:
Thanks, just ordered it now :) Will give it a try :)
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] eng3:
I didn't see anywhere that stated the height of the lip
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] dezborders:
I love mine it does the job and looks ok
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] eng3:
Nice, I just wish there were a way to not cover up half the phone.

Can't find any backless bumper other than metal ones (that probably block the antenna).

Maybe someone with a clear back
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] paul-home:
Did yours turn up? I ordered on the 15th of March and I have heard nothing.
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] DarkAlpha:
Hi,same for me, waiting mine too. I just send an email to Custormer Service.

UPDATE : They just refund me. I order the same case on AliExpress. I hope it will be better. Delivery expected at the beggining of May.
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] jdmvette:
I have some experience with cases now.

I originally used the clear/frosted case that came with the phone for a few days before running naked.

I then ordered the Xiaomi OEM white camera case and a Nillkin.

Used the OEM white case (leatherette texture) but the silver ring and frame feel very cheap and plastic-y. I then ordered the black OEM camera case which does not have a leatherette texture, but looks more like a carcon fiber basket weave pattern. It is very grippy and feels much more premium than the white case. It's hard to pinpoint but even the black case ring feels less cheap ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Nillkin is probably just going to stay in it's box
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] Dark_Angel117:
One thing I don't like about the black camera kit case is that the bottom is open which leads to a weird feeling like the case is falling off when using both hands to hold...
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] jdmvette:
^ I don't get that sensation at all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] eng3:
The case that comes with the phone is like that too. I keep thinking that if I drop the phone, the bottom edge of the glass seems to have zero protection. I suppose that the bottom corners are covered but you don't always drop on a perfectly smooth surface.
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] brokenaxe:
I'm kinda annoyed about the sides of the case. It is a finger grease magnet. Would also be nice if they had magsafe on the case itself
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] Michael_Frencken:
I've ordered 2 cases, the leather and the Carbon Nillkin from vopmart, three weeks nothing, made a claim with PayPal but got 12 Dollar less refund as I've paid for the cases, absolutely not recommended.

Ordered the same now on Nillkinmall, one week ago, let's hope they will deliver anything.
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] eng3:
I bought these two from aliexpress. It said it would take around two weeks to arrive but actually arrived in a week. I was out of town at the time. Had I know it was going to be that fast, I would have sent them to the address I was staying at but the package instead sat outside my house for a week.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256806457314430.html

The first one is just a clear case, I thought it would be nice to be able to not cover up half the phone. I'm not convinced that the clear case really shows off the phone and isnt any better than just a black one though. I also am coming with a phone with a glass back that I'd sometimes use as a mirror. The reflection the case is distorted since it isnt perfectly flat. It feels fine, it's a TPU case. The phone still feels thin. The back lens glass is covered so there is some protection. The corners are thicker and they are the only parts that are raised to protect the front screen. It says a 1.3mm lip for the front and 1.5mm for the back. I'm really more concerned about having a ring around the back glass.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256806421476446.html

It feels premium and looks very nice. It says it has ~1mm raised edges but to me it looks like zero for the front. The phone feels thicker in hand. I think I'd rather use the stock case than this one as it's thinner and lighter and probably provides the same amount of protection. It does completely cover the bottom and side edges so I guess it provides a little more protection there.

If I had to choose one, I'd pick the first but I think I'll send both back.
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] eng3:
Did you ever get it? if so, how do you like it?

I was worried that it might feel a little bulky
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] veimus:
Yes, got it like last week, but screen protection is not so great, the 2 mm bezels over the screen is not enough in my opinion, also doesn't have hole for lanyard.

At the moment I'm using Nillkin Case: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006621803259.html

Will look for something more rugged in the future, maybe Spigen will release case for 14 Ultra, time will tell, I don't care if it will be bulky ;D
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] eng3:
Strange, the nillkin case looks the same as the one I got (linked). However it seemed like nearly zero edge above the screen.

Certainly less than what you have in your photo.

Maybe they have poor quality control or its really another model
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] MasterThiefGarrett:
I have this one, but in black (from a Dutch retailer)

https://www.amazon.com/Compatible-Xiaomi-Protection-Flexible-Shockproof/dp/B0CWV9GLDY/ref=sr_1_31?crid=2TBJSOS4F61F8&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.1nQCFw8_fglJksAxbXBSZy_W8UsRVA-Lohba1fSXuh8sxwC1tVMpmr55jqwqEKFadVtWDaWeKweWy3Z9zpSkAUzhsTaVrYXY2MrEkE8STnmz-rKEx2TaqE-cJU9nVagT22TnWiBVa1AfQhP9tMVpB1uD-pDSbJGBs4Oy7VkwW4i8sUnbrKt2piHQBo5iwiHzojJvua5B0_8gFV7lVYwrCMz6fpKZ8UqteRIOmmO6F6Y.TczRcEzCuii_qdrg8q0GN5BpSBWjVqbz49dl2hgLVDw&dib_tag=se&keywords=xiaomi+14+ultra+rugged+case&qid=1714153485&sprefix=xiaomi+14+ultra+ruggedcase%2Caps%2C154&sr=8-31

Very nice in the hand, looks like it would protect reasonably good, with a lip around the whole screen (also the sides yes)
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] eng3:
Thanks, I was looking at that one but no info or reviews.

How much is the lip over the screen?

FYI, nanosim = 0.67mm microsd = 1mm

You can try putting your phone down on top of one of those. You can usually tell if it is making contact.
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] House_Maniac:
This one is nice as well, you can check it out https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...order_list.order_list_main.101.435d1802qgclZr
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] eng3:
I tried that one (or one that looks the same) and the problem was that it offered no protection for the front screen. The edge is barely raised at all above the screen.
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] veimus:
0,8mm doesn't give much protection unfortunately
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] veimus:
I will give a try to this FATBEAR case :D https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006884696957.html
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] eng3:
Cool, let us know how you like it.

So far, I've been using this one

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806457314430.html

It has 1.3mm on the front which is the more than average (0, 0.8, 1mm seems common).

The phone still feels pretty thin holding it (which I like)

I don't like the clear so much.

Also, when I went to return my cases that I bought on Aliexpress, they said I didnt have to send it back and refunded me more than I paid. So I guess I can afford to try more cases. Just not sure which ones.

Many don't even say how much lip there is on the front. Asking the store, they say they dont know.
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] Troute:
I have the same case, the lip is 1mm from the surface of the tempered glass protector I have on my phone. The case is chunky enough, don't much like the slippery feel of the rubber though.
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] Michael_Frencken:
The Eagle has landed.

Exactly one month after placing the order at Nillkinmall.

The Leather and the Carbon model.

(y)
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] jdmvette:
^ "perfectiness" 😂
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] eng3:
It does look a bit chunky. The phone is big enough
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] jdmvette:
I'm settled on what I think works best for me. I was previously rocking the OEM camera case with its interchangeable rings for filters and whatnot. While cool, it's ultimately just too thick and bulky.

I am the type who doesn't need extreme front protection and in fact the first thing I do is rip off the factory installed screen protector.

I have been using the standard Nillkin case but I just received the same one with magsafe compatibility which I tested and works great.

While my case hunt is finally over, YMMV
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] eng3:
I'm similar to you, I dont need extreme protection. I like the look and feel of the case in general. However, it seems to have absolutely zero front screen protection. Meaning if I put my phone face down on a table, it's sitting on glass. If I put the phone down with that case, I can feel my phone start to slide around on the table. When I pick it up, it has dust particles from the table.

I notice with my current one, if I put it down, it's firm. and the screen is clean when pick it up.

Now I bought that cover on aliexpress so maybe I got a fake? It looks exactly the same as yours.

I'm glad you've finally ended your case hunt. I'm sticking with the one I mentioned before for now. but the hunt continues.
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] jdmvette:
Here's the best pics I could grab with my junk ipad mini camera.

You can see that the screen is ever so slightly raised off of the table surface
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] domineus:
May consider this case but also buy the photography kit

[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] veimus:
Got it few days ago, kinda bulky, but I like it most from all other I had, good screen & camera protection,
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] bo6o:
I got the one in the image, but it's lifting the edges of the original screen protector that the phone came with and I guess I won't be using it. Otherwise it feels quite nice. The back imitates metal finish and it's hard.
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] House_Maniac:
I got all my cases from aliexpress last week, there's one i like the most and i'm using it it provides a good lip upfront which provides the sense of protection which is lacking in many cases, there are few other one i like but the thing is, some looks very good, but the camera module does not seems to be protected, i prefer cases which protect and covers the camera module, bought few lens cover as soon as i get it will test the cases that leave the camera module naked.
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] bo6o:
Finally, the one from the image came - hard case, fits tightly, doesn't lift the edges of the screen protector, slim and fits nice in hand.

Cons - hard to put and remove and it won't last much of this exercise - I had to put some force on the camera island, with risk to break it, in order to pop out two corners and take it off. I also don't like the gap that forms under the camera protection - guess it'll get filled with trash very quickly.
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] .\\D-ZFR:
This is the best 3rd party case so far. It has magnetic lens cap. Vegan leather, tpu on the side, and has lanyard hole. A high quality case
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] the_alchemis7:
Hi,

Has anybody got a case that has a mag mount and compatible with the photography grip and filter adapter?
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] patrickt:
I'm using the case that came with my 14 Ultra. It's quite similar to the case I've been using on my Xperia and I've had no problems.
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] patrickt:
If you want to protect the huge camera console, AliExpress has a lot of options. Here's one.

https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005007047516755.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.45.2604QJd0QJd0eZ&algo_pvid=9bb4a91c-58ad-496d-93a2-21846f2d2e59&algo_exp_id=9bb4a91c-58ad-496d-93a2-21846f2d2e59-22&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21MXN%21114.56%21105.66%21%21%2144.54%2141.08%21%40210330dd17189855999331515e22b6%2112000039216950028%21sea%21MX%210%21AB&curPageLogUid=505TWE9SekVL&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] patrickt:
A good percentage of the bottom is a speaker and the USB C port. You wouldn't want either of those covered by a case.
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] eng3:
Most cases cover the bottom to protect the bottom and front edge of of the screen but have holes for the speakers, mic, usb port. I'm ok with the SIM being covered.

The case it comes with leaves the front bottom edge of the screen completely exposed.
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] eng3:
My trash is also filling up. I tried several of the ones you listed and I also find the common issue is having no front lip. (I don't care about the screen protector though).

The one I'm using now looks like your clear one except it has the four corners raised. (https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806457314430.html) So far that one has the biggest raised lip while still making the phone feel thin. I don't like the look though. It also looks worse as dust particles get in.

I got this one: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806449880154.html

It looks nicer. It is a little thicker and has less front screen protection but better than many of the others.

Being light weight and having the phone feel thin is important to me too.
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] House_Maniac:
i got the one you like as well, its very nice, but only the buttons are a bit harder, its seems there won't be any rugged cases for the ultra, tho the 14 pro has it. its one of the case i like a lot and provides good feel in the hand and protection as well.
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] letmeknov:
Looks pretty good. Could you share a link please? Can't seem to find it @ AliExpress
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] letmeknov:
@veimus I got myself same case, and yes, while it is pretty bulky it is really well designed, the feel and quality is very good, the protection is top-notch. Thanks for sharing!
[Xiaomi 14 Ultra] patrickt:
I've ordered the photography kit from China so I'll be using the case that comes with it. Right now I'm using the case that came in the box with my Xiaomi 14 Ultra. My life is not extraordinarily risky.

After physical button remap succeed, I'd like to share my crown button(press remapped only) remap setup, with Xposed Edge and AutoWear.

Single press:

IF screen off THEN assistant(with lift wake up, one can press before fully lift to ensure assistant open)

ELSE IF current is launcher(com.google.android.wearable.sysui include QS/notification panel,drawer and maybe more) THEN start google fit workout tracking

ELSE IF current is google fit THEN stop workout

ELSE press power button(the original function of crown button is power button before remap, which do return watchface, end call, etc)

Long press:

Wake up, IF playing music THEN media controls app ELSE flashlight 30 sec.
[Google Pixel Watch 2] simplepinoi177:
Thanks for this.

Curious; as you use Xposed Edge, I can only assume you installed LSPosed or its forks (since support has stopped for main branch)...? I never thought of installing LSPosed or using it...

I've been wanting to do an automation task for the PW2, but didn't know how to go about it since my go-to Tasker & Macrodroid wouldn't work on PW2. Thanks for giving me the idea/guide to maybe try these....
[Google Pixel Watch 2] zyguo:
I collected some info on a dedicated threat for remap and your question if you don't mind.

Remap physical buttons and some extra.

The progress were frustrated until the turning points came. Things need: Unlock bootloader Magisk Magisk-KeyboardRemaps LSPosed Xposed Edge AutoWear(phone and watch) Tasker(phone) Those are commonly used android tools but more or less have some...

Hi guys, so I wanted to give my tablet new life for the first time and I install Lineage 20 Android 13. But I'm not really happy with how it works. It doesn't run smoothly, sometimes lagging and works with a small delay. So I think I'm gonna try with older android. I just need YouTube, some Netflix or Prime Video and that's it. But most important thing for me is smoothly running. Thanks for sny answer and sorry for poor english.
