[iPad Mini] Just got my iPad mini at Walmart!

identity · 12:18 PM

Got it today in exchange for my Nexus 7 16gb version. I went in to exchange for the 32gb Nexus 7 and saw the iPad mini instead and got that. I got the black 16gb iPad mini.

First impressions is that it is indeed a little fat like what the reviews said. I can hold it with my thumb and two fingers and the rest sitting on the back. It's comfortable to hold IMO. The Nexus 7 is more natural to hold and the display is more crisp on the Nexus but the Mini's not bad.

edit - here's proof!

edit 2 - I'm at school so I can't post any pics up. Will do when I get home in a couple hours.

edit - ok finally back home from school. ...And yes, I only had my iPad mini to take a picture.

Really? Not doubting some guy that started a thread and hasn't even replied in it except for the initial post? Ok.

steve dave · Oct 31, 2012, 12:45 PM

Walmarts POS system wouldn't have even allowed it to be sold. This is BS.

Jacoblee23 · Oct 31, 2012, 12:48 PM

Just someone wanting attention. Nothing to see here folks.

bigjnyc · Oct 31, 2012, 12:51 PM

Thats odd so far all the reviews I've read say that the Mini is really thin... Like almost ipod touch thin.

token787 · Oct 31, 2012, 12:54 PM

I see the receipt but wondering why you didn't include the mini in the pic??

Pics of the actual product please?

725032 · Oct 31, 2012, 12:57 PM

The OP does not have the unit.

Simply paid up front to collect on release day

What a silly childish liar!

nidserz · Oct 31, 2012, 01:01 PM

Wouldn't expect a regular since a year to lie... maybe like others said, paid upfront for pick up on Friday... Will wait to see if there are pics, but I doubt it.

bigjnyc · Oct 31, 2012, 01:03 PM

He said pics will be up in a couple of hours.... By a couple of hours he means about 48 hours.

At school but you have a receipt that says 11:33 CDT as the time of purchase and then you created this thread ~45min after that. Yet you can post a picture of the receipt but not the box?

I'm just curious how the SKU would even be live in Walmart's system since they don't go on sale until 11/2.
