Curious what others are ordering/using for a case. I bought the Apple one but it’s actually really uncomfortable to hold. It sticks out slightly and digs into your hand. I love the color but can’t get past the discomfort. I have the purple mini. Thanks in advance

I got a purple folio case and apple care for $69 for 2 years, I figure if I break it (case or no case) i get it replaced, seems a cheap solution to the case situation.

The Apple Folio. With the Mini 6, its magnetic, like the other newer iPads are. I like the ease of removing them if I need to lighten the weight.

I think I might be the only one who doesn’t like the folio.
I have a love hate relationship with cases. Apple products look so cool that I never get to see them after I put a case on. If I don't, a cracked screen seems inevitable.

Yes, I wish they were leather, in more colors, and protected the sides.

no case yet, using the mini naked same with my 13 Pro. Been using xs for almost 3 years no case, no cracks but dings and scratches are inevitable

I never used a case on my Mini 5. But the Mini 6 fits good in my most beloved handbag, very small one and would get scratched. So I am thinking about a case. And a TPU, not glass, screen protector.

But I want the same case as on my iPhone 12 mini. It is a naked case. A case barely there, weights 6g. You can even hardly see it but it protects the device from scratches and makes it grippier to hold. Does anyone know of a case like that for iPad mini 6? I only see those book covers and thick cases there. I will buy AC+ anyway but don't want the device to get scratched easily.

I have a thin leather sleeve for it but it still might be too much for ma small handbag.

I like the ESR Case. Besides being a good solid case it has the benefit of having a smart flap that holds the Pencil firmly in place, ideal when out and about.
