Material still using glossy plastic material is good when new , but will look slightly slouchy if it is often held hands , not to mention a convenient surface for scratches dull .

For glass screen protector , Galalxy S4 Mini still uses Corning Gorilla Glass 2 over the S4 that has Corning Gorilla Glass 3 . Even so the quality is still quite good , the screen under sunlight exposure is adequate to maintain the screen unreadable .
