I do. I have a blue one coming (256gig, wifi only) and I got the denim smart folio case and a paper like screen protector (I've never used them before so we'll see if I like them.)

I already have a 13 inch iPad Pro but I really really missed the size of the mini for travel, reading, and just lounging around on the couch. I also think it's a really useful office tool.

I, like many others were hopping for more from the update but I missed the form factor so much I decided to bite.

I've ordered a couple of cases (both JETech, bought one then saw a different one I preferred, will probably return one or the other), pack of screen protectors (JETech again, used them on all my iPads and iPhones since time immemorial) and stumbled across the Metapen Pencil A11 (ASIN B0BCWGC7GJ) which looked interesting so got one of those too. I've also ordered an Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter from CeX because I realised that with the move to the iPad mini A17 I no longer had a device with a Lightning port so needed something to use my thermal imaging camera with.

I have an M4 13Pro and have a mini on order for tomorrow, it's just better for long reading sessions and epub, even when compared to my Kindle paperwhite - the 300dpi and low contrast gets annoying after awhile.

Still in search of a thin frosted back case(not TPU)...if anyone know of one please post a link!

I bit. Upgrading from a 5th generation Mini. Ordered a Zugu case for it which is what I had for the older one. Unfortunately the new IPad isn’t compatible so had to buy again.

Just a pencil for me. Case & holder from the mini 6 are compatible; I just upgraded to get Cellular & 512 storage.

I’m getting a purple 256gb cellular. I got a folio, the pencil pro, and a magnetic screen protector (since it will mainly be a notebook for me). All the accessories are here and I’m excited for the mini to arrive.

I have an 11 next to me right now, and a mini on the way, and I still want that 13 with the nano glass even though I don’t have the foggiest idea what I’d do with it that I can’t do with the other two.

I bought one of those keyboard cases with the trackpad, that swivels around for a tablet mode. Costs $30 USD, which isn't bad for that. Weighs 1 lb, almost exactly.

Space Gray mini 7 coming today. Ordered the Charcoal Grey folio and then found out the mini 6 folios are the same so got the Dark Cherry instead. Had it a week sat in it's box waiting patiently. 🙂

Shame my Pencil 2 isn't compatible but doubt I'll order another for the mini.

Blue 128 GB cellular to pick up today. I have a couple of iPad mini folios so I don’t need to buy new. I didn’t order the pencil pro yet but I’ll probably get one at a discount from Amazon.

My new iPad Mini is due to be delivered today…any second now actually!

Going to be using either of my existing Orange or Black Cherry folio covers that I already own with it and maybe buying an Apple Pencil Pro as I will also be able to use it with my 13” M4 iPad Pro too!

No, I'm not helping. I think you should succumb to your illness and get a new mini :p

Honestly if it's in your budget I would, it's so nice to have a tiny iPad for lounging on the couch, travel, reading books on, drawing on, etc.

Lucky! I'm an end of the day delivery. That being said I do have a haircut early afternoon so I'm sure it'll come exactly then.

As for the pencil I use mine for drawing a lot but it's great to just use for navigating as well. My parents both have one and use it all the time on their iPads and they don't do any drawing.

Thought I wouldn't keep 2 iPads (Mini and Pro 12.9) but for me, they both have use cases. When the 12.9 is too large, or I want something smaller/lighter to travel with in my bag or on the couch. You make em work ;)

Just got back from my nearby Apple Store with mine. 128GB Space Gray WiFi only version. I didn’t buy any accessories at Apple. I’ve got an Otterbox Defender case that’s scheduled to be delivered tomorrow.
