Once you get an Otterbox you might as well drop the "Mini" the iPad name. If you need super protection though, I get it.
Got a tip for us?

The Bestbuy I was at yesterday had this too but only in a blue i didn't at all care for and I don't care for most cases that cover the edge of the screen....so I passed it by. Just a personal preference thing.

Sorry...have to respectfully disagree. Have you actually tried it, or are you assuming?
In use....so without the front cover on....I actually think it almost seems more manageable and comfortable for someone with adult, dude-sized hands.

Whats with the Smart Covers from Navitech?

They look similar to the ones from Apple, but possible they have a better fixation (?)

Completely agree.
I passed it by the first few times because of perceived added bulk looking at it in the packaging in the store. Once I said "screw it" though and opened up the package in the store I realized that in use, w/o the front cover/stand, it was actually a pretty decent size. Once I got it home and installed my Mini I knew I had made a good decision.
I think if the Mini is a go everywhere device this is an excellent choice. I feel completely confident in chucking in my bag or setting it on the edge of the sink in the throne room with tile floors

Got my WaterField Ultimate case for the mini. Quality is top notch. A bit expensive but unlike a fitted back type I can use this for several generations of the mini assuming the form does not change substantially. My full size one fit my gen 1,2,3 and with minor cleaning looks as good as new.

see above. It has a pocket that can hold papers or earphones or a port adapter. Probably not a power supply though.

Same here, I agree with what you said and in fact, the iPad mini is so thin that putting it into the Otterbox Defender makes it really nice and easier to hang onto!
I highly recommend this case and love the cover that you can use as a stand.
I removed the plastic protective lens that's part of the case. I cant stand screen protectors or plastic covers that protect the screen. I want to interact with the actual screen itself!
I have had every iPhone to date and never protected the screens and have not had a scratch on any of my screens to date. The glass is pretty tough stuff.
I've got this one from Goji: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0WINZdnK-s
It's really great and cheap. Tried it on a Mini in the store. Now I just have to wait for my Mini to arrive
Edit: the video is for the iPad 3gen, but identical (expect size) to the Mini

The pictures on Amazon for the poetic slimline changed. Too bad, I really preferred the appearance of the ones in the youtube video.
Other than the incluision of the logo what is different?
KHOMO Folio case from Amazon
I don't know if anyone has seen this case. I originally ordered it around the time I pre-ordered the mini for $3.99 (Has since been raised to $9.99). It currently does not have the slee/wake feature, but like other cases, a replacement will be sent once completed.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009E8O25I/ref=ox_ya_os_product
The case is pretty nice considering the price.
Close up to show the pattern/texture. It's more of a dark gray than the black that is pictured here.
The cutouts are OK, but I wish there was alittle more coverage.
Stand modes are sturdy and work well.
Overall, I'm like this more than the Speck FitFolio and JoyFactory SmartSuit, but will reserve final judgement to when I get the replacement with the sleep/wake function.

Yeah exactly. I did a crap job of spamming without a link. Haha. So once it's arrived I will post my thoughts on it. Please feel free to troll somewhere else.
Lighten up, Francis. It's not like he's repeatedly posted pictures of CF strips applied to everything complete with a vendor link.

that and reviews and pics of portenzo, saddleback, timbuk2, incipio, macally, kays case, and about 20 more products for large ipads/iphones/MBA's...what have you added?....I post things I like...period...
when a person shows 15 diff products and says "I'm getting this one" - it looks totally like spam....you were not around here for "sexytabitha" or yaboo posts, I guess....spam that looked totally like this...

It's actually only 1 product in 3 different colors. (As with most cases) posted all the pictures as this is a case thread in which people might like the case and also want the case.
Either way I'm ordering it, it will take a while to be delivered as its coming from the east. Anyways. Nillkin is a make which does all sorts of cases.
good...I'm glad you are getting it, post up a pic and your likes and dislikes here....what is it about this case you like?
I looks like its well made and fits the ipad lovely. I guess time will tell but I will most definitely put up some pics.
Sweet! It appears my Devicewear order has shipped. Will post pics once I get it, probably later this week.
