Any Silicone/TPU light back cases for the Mini 5 yet?

They do not have to be Smart Cover compatible. I see one or two on Amazon but the reviews are from before the mini 5 came out which is suspicious. Anyone buy one yet that fits right?

I bought one of those but the jury is still out on whether it fits properly or not. It ships to me tomorrow. I’ll post my findings after I receive it.

The silicone back cover for the Mini 4 fits the Mini 5, although the camera cutout is misaligned. However @BasicGreatGuy showed that the misaligned cutout doens’t affect the camera’s ability to take pics at all. You can find Apple silicone covers on eBay if you’re interested.

I have one of these in my Mini 5. The volume buttons work fine, as does the camera. I’m not interested in the Mic. I’m not looking for anything else.

I am happy to report back that the silicone back cover works perfectly. All the cutouts seem to line up and the insert says it is for the Mini 5. I am very happy with it. This is what I bought

Thanks for the report. Is it very light weight?

Yes, not heavy at all. I can’t really feel the weight to be honest.

ETA: it only weighs 0.16 ounces

I've got this particular one arriving in the afternoon (ESR Rebound, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P249QDS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), it's not the traditional hard plastic style smart case, it has a TPU back this time around, which I haven't seen many of. I'll edit this post with my impressions and pictures once it arrives!
