How the heck do you fit an iPad any jean pocket? I can't stand my iPhone in my jeans, and I don't even wear skinny fits. You must be wearing some kid of super-relaxed fit.
Got a tip for us?

The main difference I see with my mini in my pocket and an iPhone in my pocket, is the mini does not go all the way to the bottom of my pocket but the iPhone sits all the way to the bottom. My pocket seems to taper off towards the bottom. The mini sticks out above the pocket about 2.5 inches. Yesterday and today I keep testing it in my pocket and it is not uncomfortable for me at all.
Curious as to which model of iPhone you can't stand in your pockets?
I have a Nexus 7 which is even more portable than the Mini and other than cargo jeans, I would not put it in any other pair of pants.
About cellular, you never know when you may need it till it happens unless you have data access with something else but then you are carrying two things.

I've been carrying my mini in my inner jacket pocket since I got it last Nov. But, since Spring could arrive in Minnesota any week now, 
I need to figure out something else. Might have to look into a man bag (hmmm, that still sounds like something else to me ).

Apple should delve into a clothing line to carry around their stuff, especially for warm weather.
There is a big difference in how noticeable the weight difference is for items you hold in your hand, and items you keep in a backpack. If you were talking about the difference between holding a full size iPad vs. iPad Mini in your hand, then your hammer analogy works. I don't think the analogy works when comparing what it feels like to have them in a backpack though.

Ha, spring in Minnesota....if you couldn't tell I'm also a Minnesotan.
My mini is so convenient. You really can take it anywhere and have all of the information that you need.
i5 with a Speck credit card case. I don't carry a wallet or keys or change in my pants pockets. My pants are fitted but not suctioned on.
An "everywhere device"? The iPad Mini is not a phone - so that means you must carry a phone if you are that type who needs to be constantly connected to the world. The mini is way to large for any pocket of mine - so if I had one, which I don't, I would have to carry it in a backpack. And if I am going to "lug" around a backpack all day, I might as well have the largest tablet size money can buy....
I thought something about your screen name looked familiar.
They should have had a "shovel day" promotion the other day -- no need to postpone!ritmomundo said:Haha

What I was thinking. Next time I buy new clothes, I am making sure they are iPad mini compatible!

Had to lift mini upwards about an inch to reach volume button (to snap picture).

It told me something when I went into the Apple store and saw all the geniuses had iPad minis as their personal devices in their pockets.
I am sorry, but this looks like one of most ridiculous things ever
Why would you do this to yourself? Why not just carry an iPhone 5? Do you hold this thing to your ear when making a phone call too?It looks fine to me. Now, doing this all the time instead of carrying a phone is an entirely different story. I guess it depends on your preference.
I don't plan on carrying my iPhone all the time anymore this could work for me.
That must be the biggest jeans pockets I've ever seen. I can't even fit my fiancés mini in my jacket pockets... Does not really look that comfy...
Well, it does fit. And with a case nonetheless. But I can't imagine it being comfortable having something so big in your pocket over long periods of time.
In my opinion, I would recommend to carry either an iPhone or an iPod touch. The iPod touch would give you all the functionality if the iPad mini (except 4G, which it doesn't look like you have anyway), with the portability of the iPhone (especially if you don't want an iPhone for what ever reason).
It's ideal.
Mine goes in my laptop bag, or backpack, or messenger bag.
So thin & light it's as though its not there
The same can be said about the regular iPad and even the MacBook Air.
