Though spoken in various reviews of "leatherette" - I mean that's genuine leather (as alleged in the production description). It feels at least like real leather and smells slightly after ... Not only that feeling in the handling is good, and the processing is clean. The seams are uniform and high quality. The plastic shell of the Mini is then plugged has a velvety surface coating. It looks classy, chafing should better avoid and is anti-slip as smooth plastic. Pressing the cover or back together, it also feels really an elastic cushioning layer. This should catch a lot of bumps! Of course, the protection does not come for "zero tariff" - the bag wears neatly in thickness. But for that I have the maximum (display) protection eg in the purse or pocket ... All in all, convinced of the appearance and functionality ago me the case!
For a critique of problems in Photo mode with flash, I can not say anything. I use the phone camera little and almost never with flash.
November `14: The case is still in use. Clearly one sees now the odd quirks in the outer shell. But the functions and processing are still without flaws - really a great value for money!
