there are 6 pages of backs, cases and links on this thread alone....start reading to find what you want....

I looked and its all cases with features I'm trying to avoid so as not lose the device's best attributes. I'm starting to think naked is best for this.
 
Just got my Joy factory clear back case, fits pretty good and works with the smart cover :)

I went to order this for my mini and they wanted 22 dollars shipping for two day, 88 dollars for overnight. The ground shipping is cheaper at 9 dollars but its a rip off. I'm not sure I'll buy from them given the exorbitant shipping fees

wait for the Macally off Amazon - same layout with a better speaker funnel for better sound - soon and prime shipping for about 12-15 bucks...
 
I just order silver/white for my white iPad mini, since XtremeMac Micro Folio doesn't have release date confirm, Eventhough it is cheaper ($43). STM Marquee will arrive on December with $80.- price tag.

After I saw video, Fitting shouldn't be any problem. Also, I ordered directly from Joy Factory with 15% coupon that I found around this board by google. Price is around $5x.xx, which is cheaper than buy from Amazon right now.

Macmall has the Joy Factory Smart Suit mini for $37 and free shipping.

Thanks but if I can avoid waiting I will, only because I want to reduce the risk of scuffs.

Awesome - you made my day :) I found the smartfit mini smoke color for less money, so with shipping it cost the same as the what Joy Factory was charging before shipping.

Glad I could help. I ordered the black SmartSuit and since I have a trial Shoprunner account I should get it on Thursday.

I also placed an order for the iFrogz Script.

It's $39.99, but there is a 20% discount code (coconut20) and shipping is free.
 
Have they sorted out the issue with the Smart Cover moving around because the magnets aren't strong enough.
 
Which Smart Cover do you think looks better with the black ipad mini

Dark grey or light grey ?
 
iPad mini stand

Breffo have launched a iPad mini stand, the Spiderpodium.

They posted photos on twitter here: http://ow.ly/i/16kJ8#1Su7

Looking for thin, lightweight back cover


That looks nice. Does anyone know if this adds much bulk and/or weight? I am returning specks fit folio for that very reason. Looked at Griffin's thin folio but may just end up getting a thin, light back cover.

Between the two choices you presented, I would say dark gray.
I'm looking for a transparent, either clear or smoke, so the beauty will show through :)

Loos nice. I had one for my iPad 2.
 
I picked up a Gumdrop Ipad Mini hard rubber case and a STM D7 bag to carry the new mini around now that i have downsized to the smaller unit
 
I'll join in, as despite having read all 11 or so pages I didn't exactly find what I'm looking for. That is a as thin as possible leather or synthetic leather folio clip in case with smooth front and back. no latches or handles or grips or anything. Frontcover folding in a stand would be nice, but is not a must. Oh and it should have the sleep/wake-function.

Anyone any idea?

If not I guess I have to go gelaskin-smartcover with my mini. I kinda like the idea. not so much, that the corners aren't covered with the gelaskin.
