[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] SCHUMI_4EVER:
Well it's local so telling you the brand won't help but today I got one of those bottom-flip with magnet at the top pleather covers for my phone and I reckon that's the way to go. Yeah the phone is about twice as fat with one, but every possible area is protected from fall damage and the phone was quite slim to begin with so it's not so bad. Plus I think it's the best orientation a flip cover can have, cuz if you get top, then it would rest on your head if you make a call, if you use sides then you have to flip it around back which makes the phone flimsier to hold. Much cheaper and much more protection than Samsung's stupid flip covers which are basically oversized screen protectors.

Here's a pic of it still doing it's initial charge as I only just got it so you can see the case

And here's a link to the local site that makes my so you can see other pics of it (I'm only trying to show you the style/type of case I'm talking about, not suggesting you get that one specifically as you can't since it's local)

You can find cases like that on EBay going through the entire listing of cases for the S4 Mini (5K entries or so if you specify only top sellers). I was originally going to order one from EBay as well but since I saw that one in a shop here I decided just to get it rather than have my phone "naked" for 2 weeks whilst I wait for the ordered one to arrive.

I bought one of these for my phone http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Flip-S-View-Leather-Stand-Case-Cover-For-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-Mini-i9190-Film-/151106958666?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhonesCasesPouches&var=450200604234&hash=item232ead354a it protects the phone very well and the S View feature works great.

Purchased the Case-mate Glimmer Glitter for my wife.

After 2 and a bit weeks it arrived and didn't fit (it's a I9195T).

Now awaiting a replacement.

UPDATE.

Replacement arrived and same issue. Going to get a refund from Casemate and find something else.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] haki.gr:
It came in but it's too kitsch for my taste!

I will go with the S View case. Although it protects only the back it makes the s4 mini slim.

help with lanyard

Hello. I'm looking for a way to attach a lanyard to my S4M. I need a lanyard to keep it from falling, so sorry if you find that ugly.

My idea is not to mod the phone, but instead to use one of the following methods (look at the urls for examples):

1. with a gummy bumper (e.g. tr.im/4hn5d) drilling two small holes, or with a metal bumper (e.g. tr.im/4hn5g) just tie the nylon string to one of the openings

2. with a gummy cover (e.g. tr.im/4hn5j) drilling two holes in one side

3. with a cover replacement (e.g. tr.im/4hn5k) carefully drilling the usual two holes

What do you think would be the best method? Any other? The lanyard should be very safe: I use to pull on it to get the phone out of my pocket.

I do not want to add much extra weight (so maybe the metal bumper is not advisable) nor making the phone bulky; more protection for the phone is welcome.

By now I'm using a cover like the third case on my Samsung Gio, and I like it (just adds some thickness but not much), however I'm not sure it would hold a lanyard safely (the Gio has a built in lanyard hole).

Thanks for any advice!

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] Whosat:
I'd imagine the back cover would come off with the right amount of strength so I'd suggest you get a cover / bumper and drill the holes in that instead.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] graceless:
So, I've gotten 4 cases so far. 2 from Casemate, one from Cygnett and one from a random supplier. NONE HAVE FIT!!!

According to a local retailer (JB HiFi) where I got the Cygnett case from, Cygnett did a product recall on their cases due to size issues.

It's about 1mm out and doesn't go all the way over the side buttons, leaving it constantly pushing the side.

It's extremely annoying not having a case that fits and I feel like Samsung have been negligent in providing either incorrect specs to manufacturers or having made some of the phones different to others.

The model on the sticker in the back of my phone under the battery is GT-I9195T. I'm guessing it's the T that is different to other versions of this phone.

Is anyone else having this issue of not being able to find a case that fits?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] nroberto13:
+1 for this case. It's really good! in addition the surface is mat so no fingerprints. they also have mat screen protector films, no fingerprints anymore. the look it's not so shiny but I don't like fingerprints :).

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] oneofthekaramosowbrothers:
Got mine today. Just what I was looking for. It protects the cover without looking or feeling clumsy. The one I had before was of thicker rubber which would protect the phone better if it drops from the table or the pocket but that won't happen hopefully :).

buy the original samsung cover
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] captainjames:
I bought the official Samsung flip cover (None S-view) but after a few weeks of being scared of any drops I decided to look for something more rugged.

I decided on the Otterbox Defender which does add a bit of bulk but I think it makes the device easier to hold.

Not a cheap case though cost me £32 here in the UK where Otterbox do not officially sell the case so I bought from Mobilefun.

If anyone wants to see the case on just ask. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] hobbya:
I can't agree more. The case is slim, scratch and fingerprint resistant. I only got it for less than $2 as shipping to HK is free:

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] Chadie:
I used to use otterbox commuter for all my phones:

galaxy nexus

bb9780

bb9900

and it gives great protection... but it lacks style. Thats why on my s4 mini i bought the dark brown KALAIDENG Oscar Leather Flip Cover Case for Galaxy S4. Its the same as this video but for the mini instead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpWeG4x-y0Q

a bit expensive at about $8; but I didn't haggle much and I didn't know the quality isn't that good.

pros:

very elegant design and various colors to choose from

feels expensive to hold

covers the screen

cons:

the edges crack easily after 2 months of use. it isn't the perfect fit to my phone.

the left side buttons are hidden

opens to the side so it makes the phone a bit thicker when operating with one hand

i like it and if i can find another one at a cheaper price then i would buy again. A different color this time; but I just love the brown look. it the unknowing it screams elegance :). to me; its cheap, and provides enough protection for daily use (pocket-table-car) when closed.

i'm willing to buy something more expensive but it opens vertically and made more classy.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] impactor:
Here is what I use: http://www.amazon.fr/Yousave-Access...3577496&sr=8-21&keywords=coque+galaxy+s4+mini

By far the best case I owned

on any phone:

- it has a protective bezel around the screen, so unless you drop it directly with the screen hitting a corner (not the edge) of something sharp, then you are going to be fine (but I'm using screen protector anyway), I hate screwing around with screen flaps, having to open it each time I want to check my phone. With that bezel I have no need to,

- it's made of hard rubber, with rough texture all around it, which makes the grip pleasant and very secure even in wet,

- when people handle my phone, they are surprised when I tell them this is actually a case and not an integral part of the phone. It feels that solid and looks the part (at least on a dark S4 mini),

- it's thin and light, doesn't ad anything noticeable to phone's weight or dimensions,

- it looks elegant and sporty at the same time,

- cheap!

I hike a lot (I use my phone as GPS tracker) and often drop my phone either on rocks or at least pavement or asphalt, and this case protects it perfectly.

The only annoying thing was that I ordered it online the day I bought my brand new S4 mini. One day before it arrived, I was sitting on the terrace and my phone slipped out of my pocket, hit the tiled floor and then fell onto rough pavement made of cut stone slabs 7 meters below :X

I was so pissed I left it lying there for about an hour before a friend picked it up. But - to my surprise - it only had a dent on the edge.

With that case on, my phone would still be flawless.

Get it if you can find it! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] Pawel04:
Also +1 this case, still keeps that slim feel and doesn't add any real bulk. Keeps the sides and back protected except a tiny strip of the silver stripe on the bottom.

Original cover

Hey guys ! I use the original Samsung flip cover in orange color. So far I'm very satisfied with it, it looks amazing, but I have it for just a month, so I cannot tell the overall rating. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] Pawel04:
Hey guys,

Just thought id try one case which caught my attention on ebay, was only $7 with shipping so though why not. Here's a link, I've attached some shots with it on and comparisons to the phone with no case as to show how much size it adds.

I've gotta say i bought the mini as i wanted a phone that didn't take up my whole pocket and this phone adds quite a bit of size, but definitely a good case for protecting the phone. Not likely to keep it on for that long, ordered a clear "ultra thin" case so will probs swap for that when i get it.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] dbpaddler:
Just picked up the Mini from Sprint for 99 cents. Apparently they are EOL'ing it already. Better get KK before they do. I got it strictly to be a music player and to run with, so I was looking for a holster. Sadly I haven't found a holster for the bare phone. They make cheap case/holster combos all over ebay, but they have this thick back to the case because they square it off so it can fit in the holster face in or face out.

So I turned to Seidio and they're Surface case/holster combo. It's a two piece case that slides over the top and bottom and locks. Has a metal kickstand. The plastic is very thin with a velvet coating on the inside. Their cases are quality in general and expensive. But Best Buy has the combo right now for $25. So I'm giving that a shot. I picked up a basic TPU case for $5 for now, and it might even fit in their holster. Thin, perfect cutouts, and a high lip around the screen which is nice.

I'm using the KRUSELL XL water profe case:

http://www.krusell.se/sv/products/waterproof_cases

It's a bit bigger then the S4mini, but other than that it's great. You get full access to the screen as its fully operational through the silicone front cover. Even photos come out really good since the silicone on the back side is clear over the camera lens.

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.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Accessories] sej7278:
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.

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

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wedouglas:
Anyone else notice Wi-Fi randomly deciding to turn off/not connect to automatic networks, like your home or office?

I notice that sometimes I'll pick up my phone and go to use the VPN and it will say I can't connect because I'm not connected to the Internet. Or I'll get an email in Gmail while using my laptop and wonder why my phone didn't beep just then and notify me. I then look in the to corner and see it isn't connected to my network, nor making an attempt to. The Wi-Fi signal symbol just isn't there. The Wi-Fi quick settings button is highlighted meaning Wi-Fi is in fact enabled, but it isn't connected to it for some reason. The second I go look at the network list -- and it does see all the networks so I know for sure it is enabled and scanning -- it instantly tries to connect and does so perfectly fine.

I thought it was just a bad signal once or a router issue, but it has happened several times now since updating to 4.3. This has never happened before.

It's just like it randomly decides not to try and connect to the network unless I open up the network list. It's random as far as I can tell. It's usually fine, but it has happened on more than one occasion now since upgrading to 4.3.

Any ideas? I haven't changed any settings since 4.3. I thought it might be battery/idle related, but once I get it to connect again, it stays connected no matter what the status of the battery or how long it's idle. This makes me think it's probably a bug.
