Just got mpero slim fit case gun with metal blue and grey back covers ... i can say this case is really amazing its HQ materials and very very good fit but makes it a bit bulky but its okay
I have the Monoprice case. It's very thin & light, does not add any bulk at all. On sale at BesBuy right now for like $4. Probably wouldn't protect it from a fall very much... I don't usually drop my phone so that's not an issue for me.
As far as screen protectors go, I've got the Nuglass off of ebay for like $8. It's pretty good.

I got an Otterbox Communter, first one i sent back to the retailer as the screen protector (just a regular one not a hard one like the Defender) was dented, took almost 2 weeks for a refund. second one from another retailer the screen protector was scratched really badly so i tweeted to otterbox and they fedex'ed me a whole new case, so the moral of the story is don't bother getting support from your retailer, go straight to the manufacturer.
other than pretty naff screen protector quality control, i'm happy with the commuter. cheapest i could find in the uk was £18, which does seem a lot for a glorified gel case with a plastic back, but i couldn't find another case that had consistently good reviews. most of the ebay ones looked like they wouldn't even stop the screen getting broken if it landed face down, let alone chipping the corners of the case.
its less bulky than the defender but not by much i don't think, and does spoil the look of the phone. bloody hard to find stock in the uk though.
does anyone else find the usb port very fiddly to get a cable into, my heart skips a beat every time i try it. much finnickier than the zte blade/nexus4.

I have been using a FlexiFrame bumper for year and half, and after several drops, even from higher than a table, phone is OK and bumper transparent plastic is broken at tree points (thin areas with connectors), but still doing his work due to black rubber remains in perfect condition.

+1 for the official Samsung Protective Cover +. I purchased one in Light Blue. My phone has survived two tabletop drops unscathed. My take is that is gives the phone a more substantive feel, some protection, and looks good!

Leather pouch for S4 Mini
Hello 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 from Alin.jp 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've got the Otterbox Commuter. It's not the cheapest, but it beats buying insurance, and is very very durable. I've dropped my phone plenty of times, even to demonstrate and it's been fine.
