And glass from ebay
Will a rubber bumper protect against a drop (say, from table height)? Will the S-view cover protect against a drop?
I wouldn't be bothered by scratch or bumps on the plastic housing. Mainly looking for protection against the screen/digitizer/glass breaking from a fall.
I have the official Samsung case. Its a perfect fit and good protection from falls (dropped it from about 2, 5mtr onto steel deck the other day and all good) but it does add quite some bulk. A thus use the phone "naked" under normal circumstances and snap on the case when im working...

I have bought a tempered glass and me too I' m very happy with new snapshot of cm 13 with pitchblack themeHello folks,
I recently purchased a refurbished S4 Mini from an AliExpress store, bought some tempered glass, and swapped the cheap, slippery batter door with a classier matte black version. The rom was flashed to the latest CM13 snapshot, and so far I am very happy with the device overall.
Up until now I have been using a Sony Xperia Ray, which I firmly believe is one of the best designed phones of all time. The Ray has run CM11, CM12.1, and now even CM13, however, despite my affection for this phone, the limited ram and cpu specs are really showing their age.
I therefore bought an Xperia SX (Docomo Japan only model), which many believe was the natural successor to the Ray. It's also a very compact, lightweight phone, but with more modern specs. Unfortunately, the rarity of this phone means there is almost zero third party development, although similar, larger, international devices based on the same hardware are running CM13. The stock Jelly Bean Sony rom isn't terrible, but It's a long way from the frequently developed CM running on my Ray.
So, I decided to give the S4 Mimi a try. It's a little larger than I'd like, however I appreciate it's probably the best 'compact' phone available, other than the Sony Z compacts.
I try to look after my phones, and have purchased leather pouches to keep them clean and protected. A new pouch arrived for the S4 Mini this afternoon, so like a true mini phone otaku, I snapped some pictures of all the devices and their respective pouches together.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
James

I ordered the following in blue/black. It looks somewhat...different! I hope it's not too much when I put it on the phone. It came to six euros which is reasonable. I'll post my impressions when it arrives.

Does the S-View cover also protect the edges?
After almost 2 months I notice that I already have a couple of bumps right on the edge of the screen. I don't want to buy a thick shell since I bought the Mini exactly because of the sleaziness and the S-view looks quite nice..
