Where did you find the release date. I loved this same case on my 3 before I got rid of it.
I just got the Devicewear Ridge a few days ago and I really love it. Exactly what I was looking for.
Previously I had purchased the Invellop case from Amazon because of all the positive reviews. Then the case came and it looked incredibly cheap.
The Devicewear feels great, looks great, and functions flawlessly. The one very minor complaint I have is that the case doesn't sit completely flat against the mini after using it in typing mode. But it seems that with a little more use, the fold that causes this issue will become less stiff, and I think the problem will go away on its own. And even if it doesn't, I like this case too much to go shopping for the perfect one again.

me too....smart move - every one of these cases that sells for <$10 looks it... up close....the khomo is the only one I've got that's a good deal of the cheapos... the poetic went from the package to the trash once I looked at it..., but still use my coverbuddy as I like to take the cover off...
Just got my JoyFactory Smartsuit in today for my slate mini! Awesome product! Only thing I'm having trouble with is the typing angle using the folio is not functional. Does not want to stay put! Other than that, I am very happy about my purchase

I picked up the photive ultra slim just because it had a stylus holder.
It's actually perfect with one exception and that's it's not really my style. But it does everything I need it to, that stylus holder's huge

I just ordered My iPad Mini Smart Cover
UGH.....
got my smart cover yesterday that i ordered from DX-Box... it's freakin' dark grey... not black
and now that i go back to their site, they no longer have black listed....
AND it STINKS... horribly!
the packaging is just like the apple smart cover... i mean identical!!
i emailed them about sending me black (which i guess they don't really have)...
at this point i guess i'll just be going coverless... i bought my phantomskinz once i found what i thought was a black smartcover... i've been using it fine without the Smart Cover... and i got a gorgeous sleeve (coach e-reader) soooo.... unless i find something else down the road....
I have the same product and I'm very happy with it, with the exception of one attribute. The lock button and volume buttons are a bit deep and somewhat difficult to press because of the case.

Hope you didnt pay more than $7! That looks exactly like the Poetic and Moko cases on Amazon.
I have the Moko right now and it is very similar.
The black version might look the same but the silver/white totally different since hard back case is white for Joy Factory and is black for Poetic and Moko!!
have any cases like the zum sc ultimate or incipio smart feather for ipad 2/3/4 that lock the smart cover hinge down come out?
It seems all the cases i've found for the mini either just have a cutout for the smart cover latch or dont allow for one to be installed at all

I have both the Poetic & the Joyfactory. The Joyfactory case is defiantly constructed better and has a better grip than the Poetic.
I did pay more than $7 for it haha but I believe in the whole "you get what you pay for" thing and I don't regret getting it at all! I'm sure the Poetic and Moko are awesome cases
Got my Booqpad for the mini yesterday. Very nice for $39. As advertised it is of high quality regarding its stitching and overall construction. Getting the iPad in and out is easy, so it can be used as I am using it with little hassle: only when necessary, otherwise left in my laptop bag as a notebook.
Highly recommend for those looking for a pen and paper along with their mini from time to time.

Key word here..... I have both the poetic and moko and neither are made of quality materials. They look fine and work good for the price but they are by no means made as well as many other $40+ cases Ive seen
iPad mini case similar to smart case
Has anyone come out with a folio style case similar to smart case that secures the case when the cover is folded all the way back? Or smart cover companions similar to those by Belkin (Snap Shield Secure) or Incase (Magnetic Snap Case)?
