iPad mini iPad mini case thread

I got my white iPad mini pre-order in and immediately went to Amazon to look for some cool cases. Here are some I found:

Almost all of them have Prime shipping too, so they should get here before the iPad mini.

Looks good. Did you order it directly from them or another seller? I was thinking about ordering from JoyFactory, but their shipping charges are a bit high.
 
I received the iBlason case that I ordered. Unfortunately, I'll be sending it back. The cutouts for the connector and speakers are not as is depicted in the product image.

Here's the cutout on the one I received:

Because it is missing the strips in between the connector and speakers, the long strip isn't solid against the iPad and will likely stretch. Why would they make that one big hole? Dumb. Also, I just noticed that the logo is different and in a different location.

The search continues.....

If you are looking for a TPU case, have you considered Incipio NGP?

What are my options? Don't want anything covering the bezel, don't want a clip on the back as a slot for something that sticks out, want it as thin as possible, want the case to use a magnetic to shut not a curved clicking thing. Basically I want a Smart Cover front attached to a back that is as thin as possible.

I picked up one of these at Bestbuy on the way home from work but it will be going back. I don't particularly care for the way it closes. The cover does not lay flat because it hits on the overly bulky "hooks" at the corners. Also, the apple on the back is not centered in the hole. The "leaf" at the top is under the edge of the case.

My OCD simply will not allow me to keep it.

On a positive note it's a nice looking case and plenty slim.

Will have to keep looking.

The first thing that comes to mind is the Joy Factory SmartSuit.

http://www.thejoyfactory.com/product/CSE101

I believe it's available now, and there is a youtube review for it (not mine).

I've been looking at the Incipio Lexington (https://www.incipio.com/cases/ipad-cases/ipad-mini-cases/ipad-mini-lexington-hard-shell-folio-case.html) for my mini's case. I like the leather look and thinness. Anyone know if there is a similar case I should be also be looking at before I'm ready to buy this one?

I actually found one that looks very similar and from a fairly well known brand, Macally.

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.
