I got the replacement JETech Gold Serial cases yesterday and the fit is perfect. Magnets also hold the front cover closed front or back for those that require this. It's not the last word in protection since it is such a thin case but I hate to add bulk to my iPads and this is a nice compromise and great value for money.
Does auto-wake on/off function always work with your new JETech case?
Sometimes it does not work with mine.
I have bought mine on Amazon.de, JETech told me that I recived the updated version.

So far yes. I tested it a few times then turned that feature off but the missus has the updated case too and she uses that function. We only received the replacement cases on Sunday but so far so good. The front cover on the updated version will fit perfectly with no overlap just so you can confirm this is what you received.

I have small overlap. Could you post a picture of the updated case? (I assume your pictures from Sep 17 are of the old version)

I'll post a pic of the new case shortly. The pics from the 17th are of the old case and the overlap is around 5mm.
 
Pics of new case - the front cover is perfectly in place...

Some more pics. I took pics with the case closed as well front and back to show the magnets are strong enough to hold in place.

Thank you for the pictures, I will compare when I get home, to make sure I have the updated version like JETech says.
 
Anyone know of a clear plastic back cover that works with the apple smart covers? I had an amazon basics one on my mini 2 and loved it.
 
I'm using Impact Mesh from Tech21 for iPad Mini. Ordered the wrong version, snugs in nicely but the camera and volume rocker is out of alignment, so does the headphone jack. Need to try if the smart cover fits too?!
