Hi everyone!
The standard original Xiaomi TPU case, which was delivered with the phone satisfied my needs.
Now I wanted to buy another one of these, just to have a new shiny one my old looks to used up.
I remembered I bought a spare one for my Mi 6. Now I want to order a spare one for my Mi 8. Unfortunately I can't find it anywhere to buy.
Does someone know where I can order one of these?

Here is a decent TPU on Amazon, it's not the same one. But nonetheless, its good quality, and they have color options.
https://www.amazon.com/Xiaomi-Defender-Excellence-Protective-Bumper/dp/B07FNHS76L?th=1
I use this case and its outstanding: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07M5MP5L3/ref=twister_B07MCYZGQS?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
look on aliexpress
I am searching for the original tpu case, too.
I already tried this: https://www.banggood.com/Bakeey-Pudding-Soft-TPU-Protective-Case-For-Xiaomi-Mi8-Mi-8-p-1399292.html
It feels thicker all over and it seems to be a bit too bulky on the edges to use with a NILLKIN CP+MAX 3D Tempered Glass. It lifted one edge of my screen protector.
Second problem is that it's not exactly the same height as the screen protector. It doesn't feel good using gestures.
Second One I tried: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/TCI...ansparent-Acrylic-Hard-Phone/32884346578.html
Nice case, but still a lot thicker than the TPU case that came with my Mi 8. Fits nice around the Nillkin CP+MAX, but is still a bit higher. After 3 days of use my thumb could't take it anymore.
All original Xiaomi cases I found on Aliexpress weren't the tpu case delivered with the Mi 8. These are all so called "Liquid Silicone" cases that look like some kind of hard cover, or at least harder than TPU, with some kind of padding glued to the inside.
Any other suggestions for a case as thin as possible, just like the original tpu case?
Edit: I will try this one next: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/KIS...phone-F1-Mi-8-6-5-4-A1-A2-5X/32957378619.html
According to some reviews it does not cover the screen.
I can tell more in abour 5-7 weeks.
Try super case . Search it on AliExpress . It cost 11$ . Best case I ever had for mi8. .
The Nilkin clear case is nice. It's not the same. It has ridges down the side for grip and a few other details. It is a bit it thinner and fits more snugly. I prefer it and it's pretty cheap on AliExpress
The cheap Kisscase from Aliexpress fits nice around my tempered glass.
It is a bit thicker and there is a seam round the case that you can feel.
For the price, its quite good.

Just a brief one, I'll let pictures tell the story with some comments particularly for I9023.
Nillkin Case

Unboxing - Aside from the case itself, you get a package of screen protector with necessary tool to apply. According to some user reviews, the screen protector doesn't fit nicely as there are a little bit part (around 2mm) that doesn't stick completely both on top and bottom of the handset. The surface is kinda rubbery similar to Thinkpad or Motorola Milestone, while it is good for a grip it is also prone to attract dirt if you have white color that is. Selection of color will be: Black, Brown, White & Red
Overall look - I think I'm love ..look definitely sick for me
Fit for I9023 - Perfectly fit, it's specifically designed for I9023 dimension. It doesn't look bulky at all, I would call Momax case bulky (I have one) while this just fits perfectly in hand.
Bonus Pic
Nothing much, just my Audiophile setup. That earphone is a custom made YUIN PK3
im in love with the headphones.
That has the same look as the Incipio Feather but I think this looks much better in white. I've got the red feather right now but would have picked white if they had it.
Is there any place to buy this online?
I've searched on eBay but I couldn't find the exact one. I got it from Taobao (similar to eBay in China)
Hey guys, I did a quick search and found this site selling the white case:
(don't have enough posts yet for linkable URL)
www DOT obostore DOT com/nillkin-ultra-slim-hard-shield-faceplate-for-samsung-nexus-s-p-801 DOT html
I've never ordered from this site before, but for 9.99 plus free shipping, it doesn't seem like a bad deal at all.
I might order this case once my NS comes in.
Hope this helps!
Oh man, just noticed it's for the i9023. The fit's probably not going to be that great for my i9020..
Guess I won't get it after all. >:
You just made me order a pair of those of headphones, tough sans custom made I reckon

This case does not fit the NS4G. It is too big and slides around
I finally realized that the i9023 is slightly thicker then the i9020. Wasted 3 cases on it. Currently using a Ballistic case but its huge. Ordering the white one like the OP now.
This seems ideal for me..just can't decide for black or white...
Does anyone have this in black?
I did not found the black color... any help?
A few days ago I ordered the white one on obostore. I'll post my impressions as soon as it arrive

*edit*
sorry...is a different one
That case looks great, I may have to get one.
Anyone in the UK interested in one of these? I am selling the black version cheap.
Please reply on the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21437070#post21437070
And its brand new!
this is black color ^^
I bought it from here

30gg china to Italy
sorry for bad photo but i did the photo with my lg optimus one
Can't decide between to get the silicone or the hard shell.
My worries:
Silicone will be a lint magnet and will get loose over time, but nillkin is a high quality brand so it might not happen.
Hard Shell will be too little protection and if I drop it, the phone might still be damaged.
thoughts?
it's very cool for my nexus s i9023 where i can buy ?

Not many cases are out yet and I guess that most of us will have to wait anther month or two before we will be able to get this device but for now, what cases do you hope that will be released for this device?
One case that I think is nice is the Huawei Mate 8 Case, KKtick® Ultra-thin Nature TPU Slim Flexible Soft Cover
What do you guys think about it?

Some vendors will start bringing out cases around the time of the international launch. If you look at Chinese reviews, you see that cases are included with the Chinese versions.
Mine come with case.
Gold phone + gold case (not nice color...)
Mate cases already available on Amazon,but these brands are not really famous.
There is one made by Huawei. Got it online here though.
just bought this one .looks classy in brown

Received today.
Perfect fit, good grip, but very slim, not very protective.
Anyway, I like and use it.
have the same, received it together with my phone i like it as well, actual phone color shines through, very tight fit and indeed has a good grip on it.

I wonder if there is a chance to get some cases from some major producers out there ... At the moment it's a poor choice especially in that "armoured" ones.
For those of you who are trying to get the most protection out of a case, Love Mei has a case for this device.
I got a smart window case with the 128gb I bought, but only used it one day. Now am using an ultra thin tpu transparent case I bought from Aliexpress. I bought another from Amazon that was a little thicker, but prefer the one from Aliexpress. I am not big on using cases. A clear screen protector was already pre-installed, but looking for a full coverage tempered glass. I ordered one from Aliexpress, but still hasn't delivered.

The transparent clear case that a lot of sellers sell is not enough. It's too loose and the lip over the screen isn't enough. I dropped mine IN THE CASE and still put two dents in the bottom of the phone by the speaker. I would recommend something else. I bought this one as well and it seems to be good.

This is a very protective and perfect fitting cover, I bought it but I preferred a slimmer one (see post #8).

Spigen just released their mate 8 cases. I use these on all my phones. Here are two of them:

spigen hard cases are awesome, although i switched to a soft TPU case for my mate 8 now, since my last spigen hard case left some aberrations / scratches on the sides of my previous Nexus 5 after years of taking it off and putting it back on...
Guys there are allot of cases in China, you should check out AliExpress (Chinese Amazon). They ship worldwide and it's cheap.
Nillkin Super Frosted Shield Backcover
any other type of case?
a otterbox type case?
**NOTE** This review is pretty much identical to my Note 4 Pierre Cardin review! Same basic case, same fitment. Different color.
So I wanted to get my mom a nice leather case for her Note 5, and I found this Pierre Cardin case. I decided to go with the red leather for her, and she really likes it a lot!
They say it's genuine leather; it feels really good in the hand. It's not too slippery, and it's not to stiff. Protection wise, it's nothing special because it's one of those cases you just slip the phone into that doesn't have top/bottom protection. This case is thick enough and covers the corners enough that I'm sure if it dropped, it would still be ok. All access to the ports/s-pen work fine.

The stitching on the back looks cool; it's red to match the red leather that runs up and down the back, and around the camera. The brand name Pierre Cardin is punched into the back at the bottom, along with a logo.
There is a nice small lip that runs around the bezel so that you can easily put the phone face down without having to worry.
The cutouts on the side for power and volume are shaped well and easily accessible.
All in all, this is a really cool case. It feels nice, it fits the phone nice! This seems to be an UPDATED version of this case that fits better than the original, and I can report that there are NO fitment issues with this one as opposed to the older reviews of it.
check it out on amazon:

it has the built in magnetic ring in the back but doesn't pop out too much. pretty happy with it so far.

Planning to get a magnetic "slap on" through eBay...
I am currently using the Nillkin Carbon style case, it is really nice, quite slim an fits super well, but not oversnug, though it offers nearly no brim to protect the front.
I also ordered one of the Spigen style cases, but the fit is too loose and it also barely sticks out in front...
I would really like to know about something like the Tudia Slim Fit cases, that also protect the front a bit
I had a good experience with X-Level leather case on my HTC 10 ordered one for the mi8.

Oh wow i never knew, no wonder it has a little heft to it
I've been looking for a phone casing with a S-pen holder but have not manage to find one that is minimalistic, slim and comes with a holder that doesn't add much to the overall width of the phone. So I decided to make a holder out of 48 pieces of block magnets (5mm x 2mm x 1mm) and I stick them to the phone casing and S-pen using double sided tapes.
Things to note :
1) The magnets should be strong but not too strong to cause issues with the screen.
2) Magnets should not be too near to the tip of S-pen to cause issues with the pen.
3) Double sided tapes must be strong enough to hold the magnets to prevent it from detaching from the Pen/Casing. Super glue may be better in this case.
Hope the above helps for anyone that is looking for a similar solution.

I advise against super glue as it only binds plastic to plastic. Initially it gives the impression that it works with other materials but after a while it fails catastrophically.
The dual sided tape is pretty thin so thats good. If however is starts falling, you should consider an alternative glue, NOT super glue.
Otherwise, acceptable creation.
Why so crazy ideas boys? Just buy Nillkin Aoge Leather Case : 12 USD on Aliexpress + Pen from Note 8 (black version) which suits this case much, much better than the latest Samsung pen (and is way cheaper ofc). Case quality is really good. It holds the phone perfectly well, there are no problems with the screen protectors. It also protects camera section. Leather is also good quality. And it looks expensive I do reccomend it. I have bought 2 pcs just in case.

What's the inside look like?is it hard plastic? Or TPU type of material?
The frame is made from TPU (I think 2mm thick) - something between elastic TPU and a hard plastic. Back is from plastic, covered by leather.

Very nice ! Congrats. I do reccomend also an alloy/metal cover for camera section (without glass). It protects from scratches. I did not buy it earlier and now have some of them. Why without the glass? It does not produce reflections
