Important to me was a simple leather design, with no frills, that still looks fairly chic.
In addition, I found almost only products with magnetic flap right, which I seemed to be disturbing of the haptics, as they might be in the way while typing etc. (and in Aufstellmodus probably depends on the screen?).
In addition, the processing should vote.
For this product:
The flap is perfectly designed. the snaps by itself, and can be opened with one hand, the case easily. In addition, it does not disturb because it does not protrude beyond the thickness of the phone, or over the top and so nowhere is in the way.
You get into it about 3 cards, everything else is quite narrow. The case is of course inevitably somewhat thicker - I find that although the operation pleasant - is much more secure in the hand. Especially with a mini S4 I find it not far from clunky. The dimensions correspond to the height of the phone + 1mm up and down. So it is to all side easily protected / padded.
The cable access is all exposed and thus closed dockable. the On-Off button is always free. The volume controls are indeed covered when closed - but to operate smoothly even through the leather.
Processing seems the price absolutely reasonable. In one corner were tiny adhesive residues (which normally hardly occurs), but otherwise it seems to be pretty well sewn and processed. The materials and feel are quite wertig for the price. Cleaning cloth and foil included.
In short, exactly what I was looking for, for the price absolute buy recommendation!
