Going to be ordering a mini in the next few days, and just want to know if the blue display is hard to see in the sunlight like the green? Also how durable is the Metallic bronze finish? I keep my e-cig in my pocket with my keys and and cell phone in the other. Does the finish get scratched up like the satin black?

The metallic bronze and the satin black are the same finish types. So, I'd guess that they would show wear about equally. I've had a metallic bronze provari since June 10, and there's not a single mark on it. However, I do actively avoid doing things like putting it in the same pocket as my keys.
I can't help you with the blue LED as I have the green. I do agree, it is a bit hard to see in direct sunlight. But, it's not like I'm interacting with anything in the menu more than a couple times a day. So, for the way I use it, it's really a non issue. But, I could see it being annoying if you had some reason to spend a lot of time in the menu while outdoors.

Thanks for the info Bang0gh. I guess I'm just going to have to put the phone in the keys pocket. Lol
This is one, among a Lot of Things, that I like about a Provari. There is No Problem seeing the Display in Bright Light.
BTW - Have you seen this Thread.

I have both a blue (blue display) and a black Provari (green display). I rarely have to read the displays in direct sunlight; if it ever becomes a problem just shade the display window by cupping your hand around it. I will say that the green is slightly sharper (and maybe slightly brighter) and easier to read than the blue, but the difference between the blue/green display is very minimal.
I have found the carokote finish on my two Provari's to be very durable. One or the other is used daily, and often slid into a pocket when I'm out. Any mod is going to suffer scratches or dings if you are going to mix keys or a phone in the same pocket. Use some common sense and keep a pocket free reserved for your $200 Provari.
My blue Provari is one year old this month. It has taken more tumbles from my lap to the pavement when getting out of my car than I'm willing to admit. It has two minor dings from this abuse, as can be seen from this image (the white specks between the Provari logo and the power button). That's a pretty tough and durable finish IMO.

I just turn the Tube Slightly so the LED is in the Shade of the Window and I can Read it Fine. It isn't as easy to read as indoors, but that bad.
I agree with the others. In bright sunlight, just cover the screen with your other hand or give it a little twist and you'll be able to see it.
For what it's worth, I've had my hands on the satin silver with the red LED. To me, the red seemed quite a bit brighter than my green LED.

I have Both... A Red and a Blue one.
The Red is Definitely Brighter. But the Blue is Cooler IMO.
You guys are not helping! I want 3 of the now! Silver with blue, bronze with green, and black with red. I so need a better paying job!
The blue is much easier to read in bright sunlight. Not a fan of the green, personally. Ihave had the bronze for several months. I throw it in my purse daily. No scratches or wear on it.
Got the blue with blue last month, just ordered the pink with blue, and September's purchase will probably be the bronze with blue.
All my twists/spinners are on their last legs, not going to buy throw-aways anymore, so, of course, they must be replaced

I haven't owned a ProVari with the red or green LEDs, but I don't find the blue hard to read in direct sunlight (and we get plenty of sunlight in Arizona in the summer!).
