ZooGue ipadmini case

so far I really like my ZooGue case for my iPad Mini. it does add weight to the iPad but it also feels like a quality case. I like the way you can use different angles for the stand. the iPad is very secure I am not afraid it will slide out of the case.

Well, it looks like Caudabe finally got around to releasing a back cover for the iPad mini. I was a huge fan of the Shell for my iPad 3. Just got the "mini Shell" on Amazon for 13 bucks. Great quality. It even has that smart cover lock. I didn't think I'd like that, but I actually love it now.

Now I have to go return the other mini suit keyboard I brought

Can someone recommend me a full case that covers all sides and doesn't look tracky. Of all the leather cases I've seen, they either don't cover the top and bottom or covers all sides but costs 100+

Thanks

Awesome, I've been holding out for the Caudabe. How is the fit? Seems good in the pictures.

Perfect, no complaints. Snaps on easily, secures the Smart Cover and all that. It covers the entire back and leaves holes for all the ports. I've had pretty good experiences with Caudabe stuff in the past. The Mini Shell is no different.

I received my full case from Saddleback Leather (http://www.saddlebackleather.com). I think it provides excellent protection, looks smart, and is an investment that I will not regret. The quality of the product is unsurpassed, and the customer service is excellent.

I just got this Caudabe Mini Shell last week for $10.95 on Amazon. Arrived in a couple of days with my Prime membership. Very happy so far (well technically it's my hubby that's happy, but we know who rules the house. ). It feels very nice, just like the Caudabe Shell we got for our iPad 4, but this one actually holds the smart cover in place. I wasn't sure how much I'd like that feature at first, but it turns out I love it. Highly recommended.

Just got this case and typing on it right now. Takes a little getting used to because it is so small...but it really is awesome how they were able to design such a smart case. Opens and closes just like a macbook, Very smartly designed. Review going up on gadgetmac soon!

I posted this on another thread but here are some pics.

That looks just like a little computer. very nice. I love my Zoo gu. totally better then a $10 case. you don't know it until you've tried a better one.

 

[TyPod]

Very nice looking indeed!

I'm still very happy with my super sweet leather Joli sleeve.

With my old iPad2 I had a Incase Origami with an Apple bluetooth keyboard in it, but with the iPad mini that seems a bit weird. I'm doubting to go for a logitech keyboard case, but I wonder how it is, any of you already used it? How is the keyboard fine or too small?

The Joli folks just told me that they are looking into make a sleeve that will fit both the iPad mini and the logitech kb-case, so if the keyboard is not too small it looks like the perfect travel companion.

What I fail to understand is why people buy the small, lightweight iPad Mini and then proceed to stick it into a bulky, cumbersome (and often ugly) case which increases the size and does away with the intended benefits?

Yes I agree. I use this instead.

New Pad and Quill Aria iPad Mini case. Hand made with real boot leather and I'm enjoying it so far.

I still love my dodocase with the 3m sticky backing, I cannot stand the 'bulk' of the bamboo cases..

That looks really sharp - what's the case maker? How thick is it with it on - I love the apple smart cover because it really doesn't add too much to the iPad mini

I picked up the Caudabe Mini Shell last week. Very happy with the purchase. Nice attention to detail and it adds some grip to the iPad.

Got my mini a week or so ago, and have been looking for a nice thin hard case for the back only, without smart cover compatibility as I'm not going to use that. Bought the Incipio Feather for $20, and it is nice and thin. But, the case has a "velvety" feel to it which I can't stand. Makes the mini very slippery.

Also ordered this $4 clear case off ebay, and like it a lot better. Nice and thin, and easy to grip. Also allows the back of the ipad to be seen in all it's glory. Only question I have is why is there a small home up at the top center? Doesn't really seem like this is needed here. Regardless, nice case and my incipio is going back to Amazon.

for an ipad mini, this folio type case is as thin as it can be but with robust design and good protection. they claimed it's made of genuine cowhide leather too.

I did a search for "Concerti" and nothing came up so I'm pretty surprised no one mentioned this one here.

Soft touch
Elegant (enough)
Full protection
Some shock absorbance

medium (high) priced.

I really like it.

not a red flag and not to worry as i got one myself. i ordered the brown one and shipping was fast. nice fit and it's really a nice design. plus it's amazon fulfilled so if you're not satisfied you can return it with free shipping. also there is a 15% discount so it will cost you less than $20.
