iPad mini ipad mini retina case that is similar to apple official one?

[lolwatpear]

I'm trying to find a case that is thin like the official case, and entirely surrounds the body of the ipad.

The problem is that every case I've seen leaves sections exposed, mainly the top and bottom bezel, like this: http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Lightwei...qid=1384728807&sr=1-1&keywords=ipad+mini+case

Does there exist one that covers all sides?

I am looking for the same thing. Something slim and protective that doesn't leave the bezel exposed. And also has a Smart Cover attachment.

Incipio Lexington

Note, the Lexington for the rMini does not include sleep/wake magnets though.

The Lexington for the original Mini does and it will fit the rMini but it covers the 2nd mic on the back of the rMini.

[Update]: I do not recommend this case. I took delivery of it today, and found that it does not fit. It's not as though it kind-of fits, it just flat out doesn't fit. It's as if it were left in a dryer too long, and is now too small for the iPad to wear.

Other than the whole not-fitting thing, it feels pretty nice. I like the materials used, and will seek out a similar case.

back case is hard plastic

Any danger that the hard plastic back case of the Photive will scratch the back of the iPad or the bevelled edges? Thanks.

I loved this Joy Factory Smartsuit for my iPad 3. Will be getting it for my Air. It's magnet holds the case open for one handed reading:

They've got a choice of colors and they've also got the one for the iPad Air.

Yeah, real awesome. They use Apple's description verbatim, and steal all their photos. Of course it looks like Apple's case...it IS. Fact is, you have no idea what you'll get, if you get anything at all from this unknown company. If you send these people money, you're an idiot.

Be on the lookout for the MoMo smart case. This one is the iPad air version: http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Apple-iP...id=1386644076&sr=8-1&keywords=Moko+smart+case. I contacted MoKo and they say the mini retina version should be available early January.

I am recommending this case as well. Buttons are covered and are very responsive.

Ty Kisey, I will wait for this case.

Darn, thanks for the update. I've been checking every few days to see if it has been released. I only planned on using this Apple Smart Case for a few days til I can find something else I like. I may just end up keeping it.

Here's a 1:1 (supposedly) knockoff: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Magn...a-Original-1-1-For-Apple-iPad/1555219519.html

Is this one close enough for you guys?

http://www.amazon.com/KHOMO-Retina-...UTF8&colid=14D5Y43ERYKP2&coliid=ITHYFP89J05IQ

I was considering it. Looks to have good reviews. Buttons aren't covered and it's rubber/polyurethane, but it seems to be as close to the apple case I've seen. Food for thought.

 

[Tassiecelt]

I use the Apple leather smart case, why go past it? It's very good, works well, protects and looks very classy, I have the black one.

The Poetic Covermate seems like it'd be what you want. I have one on and it's flawless.
