Going to transfer Google nexus 7 2nd to new iPad Mini with retina for the impressive display, and going to arm it with a protective case, have no idea if the former iPad mini case works on iPad mini with retina screen ? thanks!
Hard snap on cases won't fit. Tpu cases might tho, just make sure it has the extra hole for the mic, I've noticed some cases already have them.
Actually the size/dimension of mini and mini with retina is almost the same.(only the difference is mini thickness is 7.2mm and mini with retina is 7.5mm, this could not effect any case normal using). The point is, if you do not care about the back mic hole was covered by the case, then you can use mini case for mini with retina. <mini ipad with retina add an additional mic on the back which is not present in mini ipad, so most of mini ipad case has no corresponding hole for making that back mic without covered.>I would like to know this too.
Want to buy the amazon basics clear case.
I would assume not.
They originally had that case listed with support for both the mini and mini with retina, I emailed them and asked them if the retina really was supported since it was thicker. They changed the label, but I never got an email back so...

My english is not well, hope this make you understand.
Will the .3 mm not matter though?
I suspect that the added thickness is no the screen part, so the body would have the same dimension. But I may be wrong.
Just did a quick test to see if the rMini works with the current LifeProof Fre and it does!
According to the Belkin website the Shield Sheer Matte Case works for both the mini and the mini with Retina display. It is the same model number listed as the original one sold for the mini.

@sealos-
I just tried the LifeProof Fre with my new rMini, and it wouldn't snap on...
it seemed like the 0.3mm extra thickness wasn't allowing it to snap the front and back parts together, and I didn't want to push it too hard.
Did you have to force it closed pretty hard to fit? I ended up returning the Fre because I thought it didn't fit...

That is just the case. It takes a little pressure to pop the case together at the start. After that, you continue to pinch the halves together until you're done.
