Looks more like peach than papaya, but what do I know?

Do the 10.5" Pro covers not fit the 10.5" Air?

The smart covers for the Mini 4 (but not the Mini 1, 2 & 3) will work with the Mini 5.

The iPad Mini 4 cover should fit the Mini 5 per the compatibility section on Apple's accessories page.

With my Mini 4, I found I preferred a third-party stand type cover over my original Smart Cover. Hopefully they same company will make new ones optimized for the new Mini.

I had one of these on my old iPad 4, and liked it a lot. Wish the new ones came in gray, like the old one!

Do the 10.5" Pro covers not fit the 10.5" Air?

Since the new Air uses the exact same Smart Keyboard, probably yes.

Am I the only one who thinks these colors are just awful.

Any idea why they got rid of the silicone rear cases?
