Looking for original Ocean Blue back cover - Xiaomi Mi 9 Accessories

I'm looking for original back cover, Ocean Blue version. Already ordered two pieces from Ali (cheap ones) but blue is not "blue" and both overall feels weird in hand. Glass is not even close to stock one in terms of used material.
So if someone bought one or is sure that it's going to be orginal, please post some links, thanks!

I bought this one a while ago because I broke the back cover, it's identical to the original (and I think it IS an original one):

It's definitely fake. There are missing logos in the back panel in both the links posted here.

The logos (CE) are only present on the global version. All fake ones seem to have protection sticker the foil the same size as the cover, the real ones with QR code inside have the foil with a little extra tab on the top part of the cover. If it's really really real.. Not sure, but worth a try

No, it's the exact same print as i had previously.
And yes there was a QR Code inside

I received mine today ( Explorer version). It seems to be the real deal:
-It comes with much more protection film than the fake ones
-It includes the same barcode on the inside as the real ones (not present on the fake ones)
-The adhesive color is the same as the original one (light grey)
-It includes adhesive for the camera
-It has a better fit
-It has a much better shine
I love mine

About QR code I'm not 100% sure because stock/original cover from black version had small sticker with QR, not "dot" printing, like you posted here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80102727&postcount=31
So all I have left is hope that blue going to be also as good as you described yours.

First look after package arriving and sadly I think it's fake.
Cheap blue version with some sort of reflection but it's definitely not "ocean" blue.
Photo coming soon...

Well at least mine (Lavender one) doesn't look cheap at all. I compared it with the original side to side and they looked exactly the same.
Sorry for you

I have ordered from witrigs an OEM rear camera glass replacement, since i dropped the phone and cracked it, not sure if 100% OEM but there is back cover too w ww.witrigs. com/oem-battery-cover-for-xiaomi-mi-9-blue anyone has ever ordered by witrigs?

It's not that bad as I was thinking after quick first look.
So... aura effect is visible, adhesive tape that is already attached is great and it's also around camera cutout. Glass quality and feeling is much better than previous.
Is it original? No, I don't think so.
Aura/holo effect isn't as good and reflective as original. QR code is missing. "Mi" logo was fully covered by black tape, maybe they were afraid that someone would see it.
Overall it's better than two of my previous ali orders and it's worth that extra $$$.
At this point I'm going to end my journey around Ali "original" covers.
Thanks for links and help

New Official HTC Silicon Case available now

http://www.expansys-usa.com/p.aspx?i=176956
I'll be interested to hear people's thoughts on this case when they get it. I've pre-ordered it from the UK site, it's not available until the 25th here.
I get it on Friday and will post a short review

I dont think it is that great. I bought one off ebay (the most common black silicone case that shows up in the auctions) and its very well moulded.
That official one seems to have the back cut out to expose the entire metal back where the camera is. This is probably the next most vunerable part that gets scratched since you put the phone down on its back all the time.
The one off ebay actually covers the entire phone and fits tight too while not adding to the overall thickness of the phone. I use this in addition to my invisible shield for that added protection.
i reckon its open because of the speaker
its about time HTC got some decent cases out, in colours.
Just received the cover/ short review as promised
1. All cutouts line up perfectly - mic, USB, stylus and camera.
2. Power button and volume rocker work very well.
3. Cutout for the whole metal area around the camera looks attractive. The material is slightly thicker than the metal so if the phone is set down, the metal does not contact the surface.
4. The general fit is very good with the case just slightly overlapping the touch surface.
5. The material feels similar to the HD back and not like the other silicon cases I've bought.
I now have 3 silicon cases - the Ebay grey transparent and widely available black and this is by far my favorite.
Hi PGMMA,
Thanks for the review. When you zoom in to the picture at expansys site, it gives you a view from the bottom with a tiny hole for the mic. I was wondering if there is something similar on the top for the led light which makes it visible...

Nope, no extra hole for the led.
Thanks for the feed back on this, would like to give this a try, and at the same time am really enjoying the transparent grey one.

No hole but the silicon over the light is thinner than the rest of the button area so it might be easy to make a hole. I just can't figure out how to make a perfectly round hole. Black and Decker makes drill bits with something they call Bullet tips that might make a nice hole but I'm not sure if they come small enough. If I find a solution, I'll post here.
By the way, the case is slightly different from the picture - the edge around the screen does not have such a tall ridge and the microphone hole is bigger.
Thanks again PGMMA for the reply and thanks to you also vincentvega.
Good luck with the hole thing and don't blame me if anything goes wrong
Can you please post some pics from different angles?
Alright, here are some pictures!

Right,the difference is in the protection of the camera that is better protected with Brando ...
Thanks, Great pictures! Can we get one from the side?
Thanks for the pictures and comments. I have to admit I was a little sceptical over paying so much for a silicon case compared to the (ebay) alternatives, but your comments are encouraging.

Backplate ?

I recently saw the leatherlike backplate of a Blackberry.To have also a leather like backplate would be a nice third party addon to the Diamond 2 which lacks a bit of quality on the original shiny black plastic one.
http://www.wmexperts.com/alternate-back-touch-diamond-2
anyone know where to get this yet?
looks awesome! can't wait to get rid of this piano-black-fingerprint-magnet backplate.
any1 know more about this? i'd really like to buy one asap!
Alternate Back Cover
You can take you phone to a Plastic Paint workshop and ask then to add a Dull coat of paint. there are different standard and scale that goes from 1 to 10. 5 is best because when painted above the logo text and the metal piece arround the camera lens hole it, it will not affect their apperance. I have done so with my Diamond2 from the first day I got it. And it look now exactly as shown here : http://www.wmexperts.com/alternate-back-touch-diamond-2

Backplate
That's the easy part. Look at the yellow pages arround where you live. There should be lots of industrial companies that undertake prototype developpement or Just do paint job specialized in plastic for the industry.
You probably need to make few calls and one will lead you to another.....
wish you good luck. Mine cost me 20 dollars.

I just check the post-office in Taiwan
that backplate is 1350.NTD
and the postage is about 550-650 NTD.
if it all cost 2000.NTD = about 60.USD = 45.ERU

I think is better to buy an invisible shield for our TD2 (for now) and wait for more accessories after-market that I hope they would be aivable at soon at possible since the device is quite new!

i'll see what comes next on the market, maybe if more alternatives will appear, prices will drop.
What I really would like is a backplate that is similar to the HTC S710 (and probably other phones aswell). That one is in a really nice rubber material, really liked that on my old S710.

i like the one on the Touch HD. it has a nice granulated/rubber-ish feeling, leaving no fingerprints. i hope something like that will appear soon, with a correct price...because i actually like the one on the Taiwanese site, but i think it's way too expesive.
It looks nice, i want that cover

Clear case?

Has anyone come across a clear case similar to a Spigen Ultra Hybrid, or a Ringke Fusion, I have searched every site imaginable and cant find one. Its weird that Spigen would make one for the Nexus 5 which is basically a non textured rubberized back but not one for the Note 3 which has that pleather back to it.

Well I dropped my phone from counter height and it landed flat and face down with no damage or screen cracks so it's durable in my opinion.

Time to get a white permanent marker :highfive:
BTW if you buy a replacement cover from eBay (i got mine because I wanted to shave it down a little so the QI pad wouldn't buldge.. for about 11 bucks?)
it's slightly thinner than the OEM one. Feels & looks exactly the same though. I bought it from a seller named "playebuy8". I can't vouch for any other seller but i'm quite happy w/ mine

Thinner would be better since I have to apply a coating over it to keep the sharpie from rubbing off. Im going to try and find that buyer you suggested, thanks.

With the back on it fits snug. With it off you can tell the difference but it doesn't feel like it moves. I shook it to see if the battery would come loose but it didn't. The camera sticks out a little further than the case.

I kinda wish they had a transparent housing now, so you can see all the internals and not just the battery/microSD
that back panel IS just plastic. it should not be too hard to "hack it up" with a dremel leaving all the important bits in place.
are there replacement back panels available yet ? I won't do it to mine but I would do it to a replacement I do NOT like how the camera sticks out.
I wish UAG would make a clear version of their case for the Note III (they do for icrap) they we could use the nice replacement battery covers you can get on ebay.

Rear panel replacement (DIY) Camera LED hole offset

So, I got my hands on a used Sony Z2 the other day...
The rear glass has previously been cracked, and a new one that was proabably bought from eBay was fitted.
The thing is that the hole for the camera LED is slightly offset, so the LED itself is partially covered, which messes
up the light and causes the images to turn out with a heavy blue tone when the light is used. It is supposed to
be OEM, but I'm not so sure that I trust all the sellers on eBay claiming the product they sell is OEM.
Here you can see the offset and how the LED is covered:

I have already ordered a new back panel to exchange this one with from an eBay seller in UK, but I'm curious to
know if this is something that's common with replacement back panels bought off eBay? Is it pointless to try
getting one with the hole correctly aligned?
Currently hoping that the new panel that should arrive next week solves all the problems with the light so that
I can at least take some decent pictures even though the light isn't too good.
I have changed my back panel several times with parts from eBay. Some are really good, but some are not so good. They are quite cheap, so I usually order a few.
Im satisfied with the overall quality compared to the prices.
That back cover is not OEM. It is likely made from a third party. An original back cover is usually more expensive and the camera lens is noticeably higher quality. On an original back cover, the metal circle around the camera lens is actually a separate piece glued onto the lens, rather than painted underneath it (like the one you have installed). The only original back covers I have come across include the nfc sticker.

Alright, so I was right about that one. I have only seen this one since I haven't looked at another Z2 before and mine was delivered like this. I looked closer at some pictures, it looks like this metal ring is usually raised a bit from the glass, is that true? Mine has a flat edge. So, that might be part of why most of my pictures turn out very grainy. I'll give the new glass (Likely not OEM either) a shot next week, and if that does not help I'll have to order a real OEM glass panel.
Here is an example of how extremely bad the pictures can turn out. This is one of the more extreme examples, shot to show the blue/purple tone I wrote about earlier, and the result is absolutely horrible.
This is the reason why I still stay with my broken original back, rather than buying an eBay/amazon -fake - there are to much bad comments / experiences with the replacements....

This is caused by the flash bleeding under the cover. Try posting a picture without using the flash.
I've encountered this myself. To fix it you have to remove the back cover, and make a small shield of some sort between the flash and the camera lens. I used a strip o tick tape, and the blue tint disappeared. You can also try pressing on the back cover while using flash to see if the blue gets less visible.

This is exactly what I meant. Since the LED is covered the light spreads itself behind the cover.
I'm going to replace the back next week, I might try something to keep the light out then.

I bought one from this vendor and it doesn't fit quite right. It's slightly too long. If you put a bumper case on it, removing the case pulls the back off. I'm still looking for real ones.

I understand this is not "color". I just received this, shipped from China and I cannot tell the difference of the black shell from the real ones that my kids have on their Moto G4s. Even the markings on the inside are pretty much identical and it fits perfectly. I purchased the white G4 Plus and wanted a black cover for a change.

Keep in mind that any supplemental back covers or protective cases will negatively affect the cooling of the phone internals. Battery life gets shorter, and even some components might fail.

Actually for sure any SUPPLEMENTAL back covers and protective cases are leading to overheating. It doesn't apply to an OE replacement cover, it was just a generic information.

Purchased another one from ebay (China). Took a little over two weeks for shipping. The cover feels a little thinner than the black and white originals I have but it fits the phone nicely. It has the same texture as the OEM covers. Unlike the black one I described on the previous page, this one does not spell out OEM in the ebay description.

Thank you for sharing this info! Nice to know that it fits well, despite not being a 100% copy of the original.
I was looking for OEM shells, but they are impossible to find. Especially in Europe. Quite strange, hence the fact that usually revenue on OEM accessories is off the charts! Seems that Lenovo is missing an opportunity here

interesting. with ePacket shipping ($9.34) it's cheaper to get this to the US from Switzerland than from within the US ($11.87)
To be fair you are pricing the 'custom' cover from Witrigs to the OEM cover at DYI. The OEM covers at Witrigs are two dollars more.
So they are still cheaper, but less than 50cent.
From what I can tell, the chances are high that the customer covers are of high quality, as the inside color matches their outside color.
