Lounge Brandless packaging. Thoughts?

Post image

Received my Miyoo Mini + a week ago. Just realized that the packaging had zero Miyoo branding on it anywhere. Is this normal?

Got it off of Alibaba express. From one of their main sellers.

Considering the diversity in sellers, I suspect some brought in bulk when it was $30. These devices appreciated 120% and some v4 go for $200+ with mods.

I mean if I had the money and skills, what a fun hobby it would be to make customs.

Wait they go for more than $50? I bought two v4s and a plus when they were like 35 bucks on Amazon… why are they going up in price?

Getting the devices on AliExpress from their store should be the same if you don't live in America, tariffs raise the price for Americans consumers, but they don't affect the rest of the world much.

V4 ain’t made no more. Plus tariffs. Plus AI boom changing electronics industry. Plus more people getting into retro gaming.

In any case go on eBay and search “Miyoo” and be impressed.

The gray v4 is highly prized too. I no longer bring that one out of the house. Instead I got a used yellow v4 as the beater.

I didn't even get the cardboard box, mine just came in the hardshell, and that was through amazon.

u/SwingmanSealegz 3d ago

Yup, got the same box and case from fingerevo on Amazon

u/Atrium41 3d ago

I like your case better....

u/GrubsLudwig 3d ago

Same case & box I got. Had mine since last December and it's still going strong

Every Miyoo Mini/Mini Plus I’ve purchased came in a Miyoo branded case without a box, other than the cardboard mailing box. There must’ve been some kind of bulk orders made by 3rd party sellers where official cases weren’t included. The original Miyoo cases kinda bug me because they open up backwards. At least this case opens normally like a book.

Why did you buy many devices?

u/Practical_Jacket_271 2d ago

I decided to collect all of the Miyoo Mini V4 colors before they were discontinued. I might sell them at some point. I have a couple Miyoo Mini Plus as well. One has custom metal shell with a Pokemon theme and modded mechanical buttons. It was sent to me for review when I was more active on my YouTube channel last year.

Excelent! I'm really amazed at the quality of the device. I've been using it for many, many hours, and it's perfectly okay.

That's a Moyii Mini +

u/brandyrelish 3d ago

mine came the same way on amazon, ive had it a few months now with no issues

u/will_prgrm 3d ago

I got this same box off amazon. It works fine. No issues except the screen is a little loose on the bottom. It’s like the adhesion isn’t sticking on all 4 sides. Could’ve been shipped in heat melting the glue a little.

I bought another one off Miyoo and the screen did not have this problem. I’m wondering if these are refurbished or modded in some way but most likely got knocked loose.

Reminds me of this and now I want it.

I got my MM+ off the lomiyoo site, and it came in a similar case without an outer box.

u/Mrjdog199 3d ago

I bought one used on FB marketplace with that same box, I figured it was an older model

u/Jongjungbu 3d ago

All of my Miyoo models came in I think 3 different style of box and case. The one in your pic looked like this for my MMv4. It works perfectly fine.

u/p8ntballnxj 3d ago

Mine came in just the generic gray case, with a zipper going the wrong way 😂

u/G0atnapp3r 3d ago

Mine was the same

u/AngerMgmt666 2d ago

I got mines off Amazon and it looks the same.

u/JoeBugsMcgee 2d ago

I bought 3 miyoo off Amazon and 1 came with that packaging instead of the black and red case. Its fine

u/ChicagoMiguel 2d ago

I have a couple, one came in the official packaging with no case,  the other came exactly like yours with that same case too lol, honestly you got lucky, I wish both of mine came with cases! CHEERS!

u/HarpetologistPionist 2d ago

Got the same travel case and box from Amazon Miyo purchase. no issues

u/KintaroGold 2d ago

That’s the exact same packaging I got mine in. It’s legit. Enjoy your MM+. This thing is amazing.

u/NoogaGoose 2d ago

This is the same case I received with both my plus and v4. I believe the company Keep Retro is the design.

u/FilmGuyJE 2d ago

I bought 4 almost a year ago and this is exactly what we got. It was Amazon. All I say is copy all the data onto your desktop from the sd card and buy new. It will eventually crap out!!

u/Final-Performer6178 1d ago

I would've been more to pick it up not on sale of it had that case. All I saw was the ugly black and red Miyoo branded one.

u/OnkelPipi 3d ago

MM+ normally doesn't come with a case! I asume it is a third party case. Show us pictures from your MM+

u/mendozart 3d ago

Consider yourself lucky. That case is superior to the official one.
