Since quite a few folks have indicated that they're keeping their Mini 5 and not upgrading to the 6, I though it might be fun and a little helpful to post pictures of your Mini 5 and accessories. It could be helpful for those who think they have to "suffer" by sticking with the Mini 5 that there are still plenty of ways to customize the Mini 5 ownership experience.
Here's mine. The "Mach 5" is a 256GB Space Gray Mini 5. In this photo is my on-the-go configuration that is the ultimate in portability. The cover is a Product (RED) Apple smartcover. The back of the Mach 5 is covered with a clear skin to improve grip and protect against scratches. (it's actually clear Con-Tact paper... super durable, easily removable with absolutely no residue)
Next to it is the iOS version of Logitech's bluetooth Keys-to-Go keyboard. Beneath the keyboard is a foldable stand that is super light and super thin when folded.
Here's everything set up...
The screen is covered with a matte screen protector. Not only does it significantly cut down glare, but it doesn't attract fingerprint smudges and gives a nice resistance for the Apple Pencil. I love the ability to easily remove the smartcover and have the bare iPad on this mini stand.
Sometimes I'll take the Apple Pencil with me. For those occasions I have a 2nd smartcover that has a sling attached to it for toting the Pencil. Very convenient and doesn't interfere with using the cover as a stand.
One of the great things about the Mini 5 is that all of the accessories for the Mini 4 work with it (with minor adjustments to be made for the rear microphone). Accessories are dirt-cheap and prices on them are dropping even further now that the Mini 6 is here and shipping.
I've got a ton more things in my collection but I'll let others join in before posting more.
