does it protect both sides of mini with a shell or is the mini exposed?

The mini is inserted in the outer shell protecting its back and when closed the keyboard area protects its display , thereby providing full protection of the mini.

When the Mini is closed it protects both sides. When it is open it looks like a regular notebook. The cool thing is you can twist the display 180 degrees and fold over and use it just like a tablet to view or read a book.

It protects both sides of the mini. It is a great keyboard/case. Would highly recommend it.

Only the backside is covered, the screen side does not have a clear casing over it. But when it is closed it protects both sides. I personally really like it for the price. Hope that helps.

It protects both sides. I have had some trouble with keeping it charged/connecting the bluetooth so I found it a little too high maintenance for my liking. It's definitely sturdy.

The only part of the iPad mini that is exposed is the front surface, the side and back are protected.

I put a Spigen protective cover on my mini, and it works great inside the sleeve. I really like the added protection.

Yes - a tiny area near each corner close to the spine is exposed but it's still protected by the stiff edge on the sides. I've been using my case for 2 months and it's still the best one around IMO. Excellent quality and good looking

corners are covered partially as well as both edges along the long sides. Both, the top and the bottom are exposed when out of the belt-clip outer case, but it does not seem to leave the phone too unprotected and allows for super light case. Great case. So far, after 2 weeks of taking it everywhere, and clipping it it to different things, it still looks brand new.

I am not 100% sure if it covers it or not. However Apple only sells one Applecare Protection Plan for iPads. They do not sell one specifically for the iPad mini. I bought the full size iPad three years ago and this did cover my iPad.

The case provides some protection when closed. When open it protects the back only, I also had to install a screen protector. As long as it is closed it will be protected. I am happy with mine.

Well ... My 2 year old tosses the iPad mini around. The screen stays safe & does not touch the ground because of the padded protection around the iPad.However, if it is thrown and lands on the corner of the sofa or bed, the screen is exposed & can get damaged. Although, that's quite rare & overall it protects the iPad pretty well.

There is a little bit of a lip on both sides so it does protect the entire area.

It is tpu cover over a hard plastic shell. Buy the dualtek case instead you will be glad you did

The corners are exposed, but protected well. If you drop it, it's protected. Well made case.

No it doesn't, unfortanetl its not a case in which it would protect the back side of the ipad mini.

One side. I'm assuming it's that way to give it stability and protection. It folds in half making the black buttom part the harder shell

It does not cover both sides. It only covers the screen when closed. I looked for a cover for the other side. However, I was unable to find one. Your best option in that case would be to purchase the portfolio version of the keyboard.

Yes, it covers the sides, but there is less coverage on the top and bottom. It's a hard snap on case, not silicone.

It is a tight fit. Hard to zip but it works. Nice case just needs to be a bit larger Probably fits better without the shell on mini But I use it all the time and I like it.

This does have the front cover to protect the screen. As for it fitting the s4 mini, you should look in the description or in the amazon search bar simply enter otterbox defender for s4 mini. I hope this helps!

I just bought this a week ago for my mini 2 and although it doesn't fit exactly, it is very secure. I can't seem to get the top horizontal edge of the mini 2 inside the case, but it's very tight. It's just off by a tiny fraction. I can close it and I've taken it everywhere with no slippage.
