iPad mini Cases for the iPad mini 6

[tpfang56]

Is anyone else also wanting a rotatable case for the mini for portrait mode viewing? This one looks gorgeous, but it'll be a while before it gets in stock.

At this rate, I'm gonna end up with 4 or so different cases 😹. Together they'll still end up being around the same price as one folio case from apple.

Great for returns….if you want your spontaneous-purchase-turned-return to wind up in a landfill.

they sell returns. i always look to see if they have used items of whatever i want. they do a good job of classifying the items as Like New or Excellent condition. i save a lot when buying obviously returned items. i wish i knew beforehand if i would like the things i buy, like you.

I'm a big fan of the smart folio in this smaller form factor

I’ve just ordered this magnetic folio from ESR. I chose it because it resembles the Apple folio but without the cost and because of the magnetic clasp that secures the pencil. I don’t need side protection, to me the magnetic folio (Apple or knock offs) is the best compromise between slim profile and decent protection. I also like that it’s easy to remove the folio to use the iPad naked.

I ordered this one in green and already got it before my mini.

It looks really nice and well built. Can’t wait to actually use it when I pick up my mini tomorrow!

Too many cases that supports the Apple Pencil. I feel like the majority isn’t going to have one. I wish companies released more cases without pencil support.

I'm looking for a leather case, ideally magnetic with apple pencil Protection or slot. Anyone have a good one?

 

[Macalway]

I strongly recommend that anyone who is not familiar, to at least look at a magnetic case . Apple makes these now for the Mini, but you can save $40 by getting a cheaper clone.

I bought a cheap Amazon version, and it's good. I'm sort of a cases junkie, so I know about these things

It seems to work particularly well for the smaller Mini. Just make sure if go the Amazon route, that the case is the same type as the Apple one. There are several types of magnetic cases.

I’ve planned to use it naked! Let’s see if the experience deserves the risk!

I would really love to use it without a case but it’s hard for me to hold. I wish it was also MagSafe so that we could use something like a pop socket on it when needed.

PS I actually am using my pop socket on it but the magnets aren’t strong enough so I did try. Lol.

If I had to add a case, undoubtedly I’d choose the Smart Folio. Actually the cold aluminum touch is kinda uncomfortable

I’m torn between the Dark Cherry and English Lavender Apple Smart Folio for my Purple mini.

I have one here but I'm going to return it, my own fault as I didn't realise it had a pencil flap (I don't have a pencil). I loved my ESR case on Mini 5, so hopefully they have the same case but without a flap as I'd rather avoid paying smartfolio money. Quality sure seems solid for the price though on the ESR.

I also bought the esr magnetic and plan to return it. It does not stand well while watching videos. Does anyone have any recommendations of a case that stands well?

I got black and the dark cherry because I was torn too. Does the DC look more brown or maroon in natural light? I like the lavender more for the purple mini it just matched really well.

Does the Apple Smart Folio provide protection from drops? I'm especially concerned with the corners?

I have a Ztotop Magnetic Smart Folio, much like the ESR, it is nice as a slimline cover, but not very sturdy as a stand.

I also have this one from Ztotop which I have for my 12.9 and loved it, so was pleased to see them release it for the Mini 6. It is just brilliant.

Looks great, feels premium, offers protection and the magnetic support for adjustable viewing is spot on!

Highly recommend..

As a thicker-bezelled iPad user, I'm curious about this: now that the mini has a protruding camera, it will wobble if naked flat on a desk; and it would be harder to hold naked with one hand if accidentally activating something on the screen were to be avoided (these are how I use my naked iPad) - how will you use yours?

The truth is that my use is to read as an ebook and watch series, it is my new night table companion. I always use it by holding it in my hand, so far I haven't put it flat. And it is very comfortable to hold, no problem with touching anything on the screen. Maybe the metal is too cold for me and I'll end up buying the Smart Cover!

Of those two I happen to like the Dark Cherry the best. I personally ended up ordering Apple's electric orange smart folio for my iPad Mini 6 (Space Grey). I know, I'm an odd duck for sure.
