I only found bad quality custom back covers for my Samsung S4 mini. I think there isn't a good solution out there at the moment but it would be a great accessory

You can try expansys uk, They have the S4 version on pre order, I will also try to check if these are available in hong kong and china in the next few days.

Does anyone know if the Black Edition (faux leather back) is also compatible with other protective covers? (plastic (tpu) covers).
It looks like the leather back has a slightly different edge/rim height (the stitched part) compared to the standard ones

I don't have any cases to try on, but I do have the phone; the 'stitching' is just molded plastic bumps that are at most 0.5mm tall.
All cases should fit with no problem.

Thanks. (i know it's not really stitched but it was easier to point to that part by saying so :))
But i did not really mean the fake stitches' height itself but the whole lowered part around the stitches, the part that takes a fall down instead of a smooth curl compared to the default edition.
See image:
It probably won't be a problem because that's not a really important part for a covers unless the leather cover also changes the thickness of the mobile.

You can buy it in http://www.rbconnective.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=654

Here, most people from the S4 forum, have bought this cover, and looks and feels amazing!

In the image I see "duos" printed, but i don't know if it will come with or without it... I will write to clarify it.

Edit: The seller confirmed that comes with that print.

Have a question about this leather battery door... Is it really LEATHER or just hard plastic that "looks" like leather?

My reason for asking is that I have ordered one for my phone and indeed it is not leather but hard plastic :eek:

Thanks!
