It's a good case and it will protect my phone. My only gripe is the hole for the fingerprint scanner: It's too small for my over-weight, chubby fingers. I use my smartwatch to validate who I am when I log in to the Redmi 9C but some of my 2FA apps still use the fingerprint scanner. Shoving something big into something small can be problematic. Oh well, I'll just have to force it in as best I can.
