I went from 4S to SE (1st gen) to 12 mini. No doubt the 12 mini feels like a big ass phone compared to the previous ones. It’s the biggest phone I ever used.
However on the whole it is fine for me. There is no smaller choice available so it is as good as it gets. Very important is to find the thinnest case possible if you use a case. I use this one - https://www.amazon.com/Meifigno-Compatible-iPhone-Designed-Blocking/dp/B08MFDY6MD/ for the best balance between price and thickness. Any case even slightly thicker than this makes the phone feel a lot bigger.
And no I don’t miss the home button. Face ID works much better than Touch ID.

I use this, it's less than $10 for three, comes with frame for perfect installation, and works perfectly https://www.amazon.com/ESR-Tempered-Glass-Protector-Installation-Case-Friendly/dp/B08CXF9L9G/
These are the ones I use, I prefer them because they cover the FaceID sensors without interfering with them:

I’ve got this spigen one and I’m really impressed with it! It seems pretty capable of taking some drops and the sides are VERY easy to hold onto and not slippery at all. The magnets seem pretty strong to me too. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NFDH2LF?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
The Anker Nano 20w is by far my favourite. Small and works extremely well.
In comparison I’ve that one for about the same price and not only it charge the Apple Watch too but it looks great: WAITIEE 3 in 1 Magnetic Wireless Charger Fast Wireless Charging Station with QC3.0 Adapter Compatible with iPhone 12/12 Pro Max/Mini/AirPods Pro/AirPods 2 iwatch Series https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08W44B2TN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_DHDQP6K39JQDC7DJ1TKE?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I think is great but beware is a pain in the ass to apply. My first try was so bad i took it off immediately, and even the second one is just barely ok. But helps a lot with grip and fingerprints. Before i used a glass one but when you use those most cases won’t fit if you happen to need one every now and then.
Unbreakcable on Amazon, decent slim black cases with a bit of grip?
Wallaroo Leather Wallet. I got fed up with the rubber ones always cracking and ripping at the corners. I highly recommend.

I’m using the native union one and I honestly think it feels a lot nicer than the Apple one, plus it’s cheaper too
I switched from an SE so I’m not taking a single chance with this thing and intend to keep it looking new for 4 years. I know you aren’t interested but for anyone who is this is the one I got and it’s great.
I went with a Caseology as well.. Great case. Fits well, raised edges and feels like it would protect

I use the Anker 622 with the foldable stand, but the Anker 621 is $10 cheaper and a bargain. The manufacturer doesn’t recommend it for the mini as it protrudes slightly and can impact the experience, but after the initial impression I haven’t noticed it.

Never heard of it before. Is this it? Or do they make a specific cleaner for those holes? I have a lot of dust built up in my speaker holes, so I’m ready to buy it.
Not the same kind but I bought this one from eBay and LOVE it:
It’s a metal frame that feels super premium and the magnet is strong. The only caveat is buying a MagSafe wallet. I bought this one on Amazon and find it far superior to the Apple ones as it expands to fit more:

The fabric on the back makes it feel really nice to use.
This is a case with an inbuilt screen protector.

Technical info about battery can be seen with iMazing too.

Btw, I'm wondering what is standby time on your mini? How long does it last? Apple says Audio playback: Up to 50 hours which is 2 days and 2 hours when it plays audio. But my standby time is roughly 1,5 days, 36ish hours which is way less then Audio playback time when my phone just sits on the table with mostly no interaction...
I have Apple Watch, so, notifications won't turn iPhone screen on and won't play sound which supposed to improve battery time too, right? Not in my case.
Overnight charge consumption rate is another data to look at and it is 10% ish for me with a brand new (1 month old) 12 mini. Cell reception is not good where I live so phone is always use WiFi Calling. I also use LTE instead of 5G.
I don't think 12 mini battery is that bad, I think I got a faulty device... =/
The Humixx Diamond Crystal Clear case has rounded sides and corners that feel comfortable. I had the same pinky pain that you described, and the squared-off cases helped with that problem a bit, but not as much as a rounded case.
Spigen Mag Armor. It’s kind of rounded and feels good in the hand. I am using it right now.

Home grower and 12 mini owner here. Photographing seedlings is very challenging, regardless of equipment. Autofocus systems almost always latch on to the medium rather than the seedling. For macro photography with my mini, I use a jewelers loupe held over the iPhone camera lens. The results are awesome in my opinion. Btw not all loupes are created equal. I have this one and it's much better than others I've tried. You can look through my history to see some macro shots of my grows.

I use these ones. Comes with 3 of them and a guide to help you place them. Plus it feels like you’re touching the actual glass of the screen. They’re really good
I'm very happy with this case which I've used for the past 7 months.

It is way thinner than any Apple case. If you've been using a thicker case, it will feel like a totally different phone. The only downside is that it does not support MagSafe charging, which I do not use anyway.
I quite like this one which is pretty similar.

If you're talking about mounting the phone in your car with this case on, I use this Spigen magnetic mount:
https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Magnetic-Holder-Compatible-iPhone/dp/B01C6HSDG2/
I remove the adhesive layer from the metal plate - it's not needed because the iPhone 12's MagSafe magnet will hold the metal plate in place - the removal of the adhesive alone shaves a few mm's off the thickness of the metal plate and you hardly feel it is there under the case.
I go hiking a lot and like taking pictures while listening to music so it uses up the battery. But you know what? I bring a battery pack with me. Problem solved.
In fact, there are Magsafe Batteries that allow you to do your thing while charging, even giving you the option to fast charge with USB C cable or standard charging thru MagSafe.
love it love it love it. Battery def is not the best if you’re out for long. Bought an Anker MagSafe Battery Pack and it helps. The weird thing is, I find myself using 2 hands to use it anyway, so I could’ve been ok with a 12/12 pro. But I love how this mini easily it fits in my pocket
Turn off 5G if you have it on. That thing sucks the life out of my mini battery. When I put it back to LTE it was a lot better. I go on long hikes a lot so I take pictures videos listen to music…the battery does go down fast even on low power mode. Recently I bought Anker’s MagSafe battery charger and it’s been great! Charges slow on MagSafe, but it also charges via USB C so there’s an option to charge it quickly. I recommend trying that! :)
As stated above, if you drop often go for the more rugged case. And then depending on color / whether or not you want to show it off.
I have a black 12 mini, nothing too crazy. I almost never drop it thanks to the easy-to-hold-in-one-hand-form-factor. I use this (below in link) which is by far one of the slimmest and sleekest designs to hold while seeming to provide enough protection to minor falls and dings. The side grips work amazing in helping get a hold of device. Absolutely love it.

I got the one from Anker for my wife and I. I think it works perfectly for its intended purpose. Of course it’s bulky but because it’s MagSafe you only have to put up with it long enough to charge your device and then it pops right off.

Made the back of my 12 mini matte and finger print friendly thanks to a matte back panel protector i found on Amazon and thought about sharing it here. Best way ever if you want to keep your phone without a case on but don’t want the back to look too messy. It makes it way grippier as well! Only problem is that it’s super hard to apply.

It feels solid like it will protect the phone but isn't too bulky. The buttons feel good. It's not incredibly easy to take off.

I personally went for the Spigen Liquid Air for my mini. It’s not bulky, keeps the shape nice, is durable, cheap and only adds 0.11” in thickness:
Also went for the full coverage Tempered Glass of you’re into that like myself:
I’ve got a good one you can get here Unlike a lot of the super expensive ones I see, this one covers the whole screen, including the notch. The adhesive is really nice and it feels just like the normal glass. It’s really nice
i’m using this one right now. haven’t tried magsafe with it but it’s super thin and other metal stuff sticks to it.
