The action happens on the screen. I don’t get this obsession with bezels. Also don’t understand why you want to remove parts of the iPad you can hold without obscuring said display.
I carry a cellular Mini 4 wherever I go that does everything for me except make phone calls, and I don’t think that the people complaining about the bezels actually use an iPad Mini the way I use my Mini. I NEED the bezels to comfortably hold the Mini without triggering the screen in some way, or obscuring my view. I use always use it in landscape except when I play a game that requires portrait, and I love the extra space to hold it.
