I have the dark gray Coverbuddy to go with my white iPad mini and red Smart Cover.
 
Anyone order a cover buddy post Xmas and actually receive a ship confirmation or any communication? I ordered one early on the 26th, so far nothing has happened other then they immediately got my money upon clicking "place order"... And a PayPal email confirming placement of my order.

You can try contacting them and they should let you know if there's a hold up.

Thanks, will do. Not the first time I've ordered from them but they sure aren't the most efficient at processing orders...

I ordered a CoverBuddy a few weeks back and it seemed like it took a day or so to ship out. I can't remember the exact time, sorry.
 
I ordered mine in early December, got an email saying the delivery was to be delayed until early January, and it suddenly arrived on Dec 20th.
 
Just got the Devicewear from Ridge (on Amazon). They had a post-Xmas 10% off promotion. Love the case. Protection where I need it and pretty lightweight. Also can be used as a stand.

After rolling naked with my iPad 3 (actually had it in a felt sleeve) and recently dropping it, cannot take risk with the new mini.
 
Guess I jumped the gun... 😱
Just got a ship confirmation w/tracking email. It shipped on the 28th. Walked out to the mailbox and voila! 😀

It's a good looking cover. Glad I ordered it.

What case?

I got the smart cover and putting a Zagg back shield on.
 
My Sena Ultraslim that I preordered showed up today. Wasn't supposed to ship until mid January. Pretty nice so far. Includes magnets for sleep/wake.

I got apple care and will just replace it when it gets scratched up.

I just hope you're aware Apple doesn't have to replace it, even if you have AppleCare+ and want to pay the $49 fee.

From the AppleCare+ Terms and Conditions:

"ADH (Accidental Damage from Handling) coverage does not include (a) protection against normal wear and tear, theft, misplacement, reckless, abusive, willful or intentional conduct associated with handling and use of the Covered iPad

4. What is not covered?

(v) The Plan does not apply to cosmetic damage to the Covered iPad, including but not limited to scratches and dents, that do not otherwise affect the functionality of the Covered iPad;"

The Ultraslim is a sleeve/pouch, right..??

Yeppers!
http://www.senacases.com/apple/ipad-mini/ultraslim/

Note that for pre-order it was discounted $5 and then I was able to find a 20% off coupon online. I ended up paying around $35 for it.

I think I have all the bases covered now. I have an Otterbox Defender for those time when I want my Mini to be a little more protected, a Switcheasy Cover Buddy and Apple Smart Cover and now the Ultra Slim.

Here's mine with an iCarbons skin installed that I did yesterday. The sleeve is one I found on Etsy.

How does it fit? Nice? I might get the clear one just to be safe. I don't want to much bulk.

I have the clear Cover Buddy.. it doesn't add much bulk, especially when compared to most of the other cases out there. Its not as thin as a skin of course but its not bad at all.

Here's a few quick shots.. Let me know if theres anything else I can show ya..

I have a Dark Gray Smart Cover, I like it. I'd prefer leather but for now it'll do. I know some of the reviews I've seen said it comes off easy but I haven't experienced that at all. the CoverBuddy is great, I really like it. I'm debating whether or not to go to a skin instead but I do sorta like having something protect it from a dent or ding. Also, I have a black iPhone 5 and see how the bezel has taken some abuse and the Coverbuddy protects from that, a skin wouldn't.

Would the coverbuddy fit ok with a skin protector on the back of the mini ?

And can you post that wallpaper
