I'm not sure I understand how you think the mini is in a case from those photos.

Maybe because it's the dark version of the phone you can barely make out the shiny apple logo, but it's there, you can see the metal edge of the phone.

It's not in a case.. obviously, that would be a stupid comparison.

Fair, zooming in I guess I can see that. You may want to correct the label on the photo though, it shares dimensions with the 5 but you've clearly photographed an SE (original, it turns out, which was part of my confusion since you switched at some point from talking about the 2nd gen to the 1st gen) not an iPhone 5.

No, I was comparing the size difference of the 5 (and lineage) to the 6 (by way of case) and Mini.

"SE" is a nondescript product line and the only physical differences are the tone of the chassis and a stamp; it's a fair representation of the size of a 5.
