iPad mini Thin mini retina case with strip to hold open Smart Cover?

[Matth3w]

What are our options? The speck has one for the non retina that will cover up the mic but it doesn't get great reviews on Amazon. And so I'm hesitant to buy it at almost $40 with shipping and not even through Amazon prime.

There's not too many cases with a magnetic strip. Some people have put their own.

 

[Matth3w]

What's the best way to do that?

I think they just go to their local hardware store and get a magnetic tape or something similar.

I still haven't found a good solution that looks good. 🙁

The retina version of the Smart Shell is available in Apple stores now..

Here's the SmartShell http://www.staples.com/Speck-SmartS...Retina/product_SS2220001#id='dropdown_1208456'. Doesn't show the hole for the second mic, but it says for iPad mini retina. Might want to confirm with Staples.

Edit, when you choose a color, the photo will change.

Oh, nice. I'm also considering just forgoing the smart cover now and buying like an aluminum bumper.

I think Spigen has one. Ultra Thin something or other for the iPad mini.
