I know this is a trivial question, but no more so than a lot of other junk posted here. I am ordering a black mini tomorrow morning and can't decide which cover to order - the dark grey or the light grey. Which cover are you ordering (that is assuming we can order covers tomorrow).

Get the crazy green one!
 
You probably already know this, but I advise you to do separate orders for the Mini and cover. Never happened to me, but I've heard tales of shipping being delayed when there's multiple items in a preorder.
 
I was thinking white, but without the silver hinge then it kinda looked weird so I'll just get black to keep it looking even.

(Edit. Just looked at cover colors. Why didnt they make black rather than dark grey. This ruins my Darth Vader theme)

I've had the black leather cover since I got the iPad 2, and I'd really love to have another...so I hate that dark gray is the only option.

I may get the Product Red one, though.
 
Definitely would get black leather, but as it stands, dark gray.

What I am having problems finding is a snap on case for the back. I don't want to risk scratching that black backing. And I also think the black back is a bit of a fingerprint magent. Incipio has the Feather for $35 but I was hoping to find something a bit less expensive.
 
The only color I don't like is the light gray, so I'm having a really hard time deciding. I'll probably go with the dark gray.
 
I have two fears with getting a colorful/bright smart cover:

1) I'll get tired of it quickly (eyesore).
2) The loud cover becomes this beacon to criminals to maul this person and steal his precious iPad mini.

I'll probably get the dark grey one.
 
Anyone know if the Smart Covers will be available for sale when the Mini goes up for pre-order at midnight?

Also, can you only get the (product) red one through Apple?
 
Ordered the Product (RED) one last night. Now to wait in line at Best Buy on the 2nd. If it wasn't for my gift cards, I would have already ordered it from Apple.
 
black mini/dark grey cover/red incipio feather back

Black CF strips for cover from icarbons or stickerb*y when avail....

The Incipio won't work with the smart cover...it's not a SMART feather...it's just a feather.
