I don't think so cause its tight fit and snaps in the back case.

Ya it's nice but only one small gripe is that there is no soft cloth or anything on the back but it's not moving or anything to I guess it would be okay ( only time would tell)

Exactly why I'd want to (try to) use a back protector as well. I don't want dirt getting trapped in there and scratching the back of the iPad.

Good point. I didn't think about that. I might just keep it though cause so far this is one of the best smart case i've seen.

Outside dimensions are 8 1/8" tall, 5 1/2" wide and a very slim 1/2" thick. The stitch work is very fine. The design is very form fitting. I Love It! ! !

This looks great! Can you confirm whether the upright viewing position is stable? I've read some comments that it tends to fall over.

BTW, it's apparently not available at Amazon US anymore (and the UK and German stores don't ship it to US addresses).

I just received mine and was as equally unhappy with the fit as the other folks that have been posting their reviews on Amazon. It appears as of today, Kavaj or Amazon pulled them from sale.

Hm, the reviews in the Amazon UK and Germany stores seem to be mostly favorable?

If you look at the amazon.com reviews it has a perfect 5 stars by 35 people. All within the last couple days and each reviewer has NEVER reviewed anything else on amazon....

be careful!

While the kavaj looks good in black it has only 2 viewing angles. Devicewear still wins in my book

I have a Kavaj Hamburg for my iPad 3 which is more versatile, and is absolutely superb. Perhaps they'll bring one out for the Mini.

I got this case too in all black but I didn't have the grey inside lining to the Smart Cover. Mine is just all rubber, was hoping for microfiber. Is the grey lining microfiber?

i ordered a nillkin case from china and its now turned up.

here are the pictures.

Amen to that!

I picked up a rooCASE from amazon for the iPad mini. I plan on using the case for travel so the mini is not loose in my bag. The iPad mini with Smart Cover fits perfectly inside the sleeve. The outside pocket is great for my charger and camera connection kit.

Thanks.

I pre-ordered the red version of this Toffee case and received it yesterday. I must say I am very impressed with it. High quality leather, very well made and fits perfectly with all the cutouts properly aligned. Toffee customer service is very good too. One minor gripe is that tab must be used to keep it steady in viewing position.

I have iPad mini (black) w/ RED smart cover...

I'd like to be able to take my iPad mini outside, so I'd like to protect it from scratched as such, so I purchased screen protector and now I'm looking to cover back of it. I'm looking for something slim (I dont want to add bulk)

any suggestion (that would co-exists w/ apple's smart cover)?

I watched and dont agree. Devicewear is still better although its not real leather. But at $26 ...

You don't agree with what? I wasn't comparing it to the Devicewear (which I have never seen). I was merely stating the FACT that the Kavaj Hamburg is more versatile than the Kavaj Berlin.

Each to his own.
