not a red flag and not to worry as i got one myself. i ordered the brown one and shipping was fast. nice fit and it's really a nice design. plus it's amazon fulfilled so if you're not satisfied you can return it with free shipping. also there is a 15% discount so it will cost you less than $20.

Lol, unless of course YOU also aren't a verified purchaser. :)

Still preferring my Poetic Hardback case since the launch of the Mini. Though, I may look into a Dodo case for my Mini as a slight change.. I do love there look.. :cool:
 
I was going to get a new ipad 4 to day, but when i got to the store they had a great deal on the mini, i havent really looked at the mini before but it felt great. I will replace it when a retina mini comes, but well :)

Anyway i was looking at the Jisoncase vintage brown case for it. It was a bit high price but they was on 20% off so about 65 dollar. Is there any better cases out there? I dont mind to pay for a nice one! Been checking the forum and youtube but cant find any other i really think look good.
Edit: What i compare it to now is the i-Blason + smartcover.

Where is it 20% off?? I have the black version of this case...and I LOVE it. The best out there in my opinion. Leather is supple, and its so streamlined and sleek. I'd pick up another if you tell me where its on sale.

I received my full case from Saddleback Leather (www.saddlebackleather.com). I think it provides excellent protection, looks smart, and is an investment that I will not regret. The quality of the product is unsurpassed, and the customer service is excellent.

That really does look like a lovely product; (having spotted your post and link, I investigated the company's website - it really does seem excellent, and very well made with attention to detail and solid craftsmanship). I'd be interested in your feedback, and how you find using it, and may well consider buying one for myself at some stage as I love such beautifully made, elegant products.

This past week, I ordered an iPad refurb (64GB wifi and cellular) and have also ordered a Twelve South (BookBook iPad mini) case to go with it.
 
I have a hodgepodge of cases on my mini, but it works for me.

Incase Neoprene Sleeve for carrying it around.

Apple Smart Cover on the front.

Rocketfish Hard Shell on the back.

When it's all packed snugly into the neoprene sleeve I feel like it could take a bullet and survive. Lol.

Seriously though, that combo gives me everything I want/need.

When actually using it in hand, I like the naked mini, but i need a stand, I don't like putting it down on random dirty/rough surfaces, so the trio of case solutions I have employed are kind of a must.
 
Is there an easy way to add a magnet (or a magnet tape) to a case that doesn't automatically turn on/off the screen when opened/closed?

I'm just not sure where the magnet trigger is and can't find a suitable case for my Speck case.
 
Is there anyone who buy this kind of washable paper case bef?

This kind of case look different but seem not good as leather ones, right?

Here's what I got for my iPad mini, a LifeProof fre with the LifeProof Smart Cover (works and looks like the Apple Smart Cover).

I bought a BookBook (made by the Us company Twelve South) cover for my iPad mini; it is a beautifully made, solid piece of work, made of leather, and designed to look like a rather battered leather book from the 19th century.

My case has held up well for 5 months now. Inexpensive but looks great. Very thin and not bulky or heavy. Magnetic flap and felt interior. Not leather but PU. Smell disappeared in 2 days.

nice sleeve. would have been great if it's real leather.
 
Anyone who had tried MicroShell Folio from Marware?

http://www.marware.com/microshell-folio-ipad-mini-case?sc=70&category=51748

I have Belkin Leather Tab Cover. But i don't really like it up to 100%

http://www.belkin.com/uk/F7N018-Belkin/p/P-F7N018?q=::devicePath:/Device/IPAD/APPLOTHAIPADMINI

Sometimes it seems not screen go to sleep. Does the second case feels smoother and has a bit more angles. Like the one where bands that holds the case closed. How does the quality of Marware? Anyone have it and used it for a while who can tell?
 
I just purchased an Incipio NGP case in black for my black mini. It's great because it keeps the device thin, doesn't feel cheap, and protects the bezel from scuffs (which is good for the black model, which is prone to obtaining silver scratches there). It also comes with a high quality clear screen protector. I imagine it will protect it from bumps, and maybe even minor falls, since it is touted as beng shock absorbant. I have not come across any negatives so far. I would recommend that anyone who doesn't care to use a Smart Cover give this case a try.
 
Well since we're apparently rehashing old threads, here's my two cents:

Apple Smart Cover with a Caudabe Mini Shell on the back. Wouldn't go without the Smart Cover, just love that thing. The Caudabe is inexpensive and feels great on the back. I have the white mini and the Caudabe matches well. http://www.caudabe.com/products/mini-shell

Well, I spoke too soon. The case scratches pretty easy and when wiped down with a cloth, it apparently wears, leaving it looking like it has a white residue and scratches when viewed on an angle. This might not be a problem on their colored versions, however. Oh well, back to using my Red Smart Cover with a naked iPad and a soft sleeve for storage.

Nobody's rehasing old threads. We are commenting on an on-going, relevant topic. It is generally frowned upon to create a new thread for the same topic.

iPad mini case thread

Just got this mini case.

Similar to the snugg and only $16. Real leather, multiple color choices. Like snugg has handle in back. Also comes with great velour like felt pouch for even more protection.

Seems well made, but for such a low price, really can't go wrong or complain. Feels great in my hand. Smart Cover and strong magnets keep cover closed.

Wonderfully reviews on amazon. 3550 nearly 5 star reviews.
