If this is anything like the FitFolio for the regular iPad then the back is completely covered until you use it as a stand.
That's good. It also looks like the regular iPad version can fold back completely. I hope this one works the same way.

Anybody here just going to use a sleeve ?
I'm looking for one that's just a hard case for the back. It will be for my mother & she will never take it anywhere so she just needs something to help her grip it.
What do you guys think of this ?
GreatShield VIES Protective Zip Sleeve Nylon Carrying Case for iPad Mini BLACK

I don't like using cases , so when I'm not using the ipad it will be on this or my stand
I 'treated' myself to one of these
Arrived already and I like it a lot (ok still waiting for the actual tablet) but its grippy, feels solid and the stand works well. It folds back nicely (for when I am reading in the car as will be 80% of my mini's use).
as cheap cases go I like it. The only improvement I would want is a magnetic latch; but its not a deal breaker for me.
I like that. It's nice looking. Protective.

so it just flips open? Nothing keeps it closed? i'm an animal print person also as i sit in my Leopard onsie.
you can certainly find that in your purse.
What do you mean by *grippy*
Here's a strange one... Speck still does not have an iPad mini cases listed on their site (http://www.speckproducts.com/ipad-mini). However, Amazon claims to have the Speck Fit Folio available to order right now on their website for $35. http://www.amazon.com/Speck-Products-FitFolio-Leather-SPK-A1512/dp/B009UQ2L7U/ref=br_lf_m_1000844061_1_13_ttl?ie=UTF8&s=pc&pf_rd_p=1408874522&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_t=1401&pf_rd_i=1000844061&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0YXP1AWJ504HBNB3YAS0
I was really wondering about this as I don't want to order a case that's like really made by Speck so I did the live chat with them and at first the rep didn't know of any iPad case but after showing the Amazon link and some checking being done, he/she says it's legit but that there will be a larger selection once it's posted on their main site.
Here's the chat log.

Now that the new mini Apple smart cover is on the ground who will be the first to make a back cover that will integrate the smart cover??? Thats the one i'm waiting for.
Now that the new mini Apple smart cover is on the ground who will be the first to make a back cover that will inegrate the smart cover??? Thats the one i'm waiting for.
Here's what I ordered.

You can currently order it for 40% off with code GIZ40OFF thus figured not much to lose if it doesn't work.
They also have a hard shell version as well. Also 40% code is only good thru today!

this looks to be the first hard back compatible with smart cover...I'm in....
I'm buying this one, too. I'm trying to decide which color. I ordered the Black/Slate iPad Mini and am debating between clear and smoke. Did you get smoke also?
I have a clear now and it shows scratches - so smoke this time...gonna run a dark grey and red smartcover with it....still though, I see none so far that lock the cover on....
This is a pretty nice and slim case for the iPad Mini that's available now:
http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Ultra...&sr=8-1&keywords=roocase+ipad+mini+ultra+slim
I've got the magenta but it also comes in 4 more colors.
Do it have the Kays Logo slapped all over the back? Or does it blend in with the case?
Mind uploading pictures?
