This thing fits perfectly as if it were an official product of Amazon. Great protection and it even looks like a miniature  composition notebook. Better yet is the low cost. My only complaint is that I paid $19 for this case and at the time of this writing it's is down to $13.

I purchased the champagne color and put in on my iPad mini today. First off you should know that the gold color looks almost EXACTLY like my gold iPhone 5s. It's not gaudy looking and it contrasts really nicely with the white faceplate on my iPad mini. Second, the case feels really solid and the back feels slightly cool to the touch (not like metal but not like plastic either). The gold color also doesn't show so many fingerprints. Some people say that the screen protector on their iPad mini lifted up at the edges. This didn't happen to me and my iPad mini fits perfectly with its screen protectors on its top, bottom, and sides. The key is to take the case apart by removing the colored plate, then first put the silicone (or whatever material it is) piece on first, and then snap on the colored backplate. The case feels really good to hold and it doesn't add much bulk while still providing protection. The other thing I love about this case is that every opening for every port is perfect. Nothing is covered and there's plenty of space to fit a lightning adapter, and I can even fit my large Bose headphones cord into the headphone jack. The dimensions of this case were really thought out well. The buttons are also large and very easy to press. The one thing that would make this case even better would be if it had a built in screen cover, but that's just my opinion and you can't have everything.
Overall I am very satisfied with this case and I highly recommend purchasing it if you want a light, good looking case that provides protection for your iPad mini.

This is a sleek, attractive, and really rather elegant folio case for the iPad Mini 4. It fits perfectly (snapped right in without any problems). I am a chronic dropper of devices. My iPad mini is no exception. Fortunately, this case offers excellent protection. I haven't had any scuffs, chips, or other damage since I started using these folio cases. They're lightweight, very professional-looking, and of course tough as an OtterBox case should be. Highly recommended.

I was very pleased by the OtterBox Defender for my IPad mini. Its sleek, stylish, and most important, it gives the proper protection needed. I also loved the case. It not only acts as a case but also is a stand, that can be used as hands free when doing something else, or if you're just wanting to watch a movie or read a book on your iPad. I just absolutely love it. Great job OtterBox. Everything I imagined and some.

I was truly impressed by this case.  In my opinion, it's a 3 piece design.  The rubbery silicone skin has a little pocket on the top portion that you slip the phone into. That's what protects the screen from getting abraded by the top piece. The back piece fits firmly onto the silicone due to the 4 ribs molded into the silicone.  The ribs line up and fit snugly in the slots on the outer edges of the back piece.  The top piece covers and protects all edges of the phone and it snaps into the bottom piece in several places.

The silicone ribs that protrude through the slots on the back piece are placed well enough so that you do not lose your grip.  The back piece is very smooth so it's a little slippery but it shouldn't be too big of a concern.

I haven't tried to take the case apart yet. I'm concerned that if you switch cases around a lot, that they will eventually break and the case won't stay together as well.  If I could do it all over again, I would have bought two of these in case I break a piece or wanted to mix and match the color combo.

This is a really cool case. I love the way you can position it by sort of bending at the fold. It holds whatever position you bend it to perfectly. Will this last? Time will tell but for now this is a very nice slim case to protect the ipad mini.

I've been looking for a notepad and case for my iPad Mini but the only option so far has been the Booq Notebook. While cute, the Booq wasn't exactly what I was looking for and then I stumbled upon this Moleskine that another Amazon user purchased for their Mini. The Volant Notebook triples the width of the Mini but it provides a good amount of protection, the ability to write and type (I do both based on what I'm focusing on, such as interviewing a person versus jotting down ideas), and looks very minimalistic. Great purchase!

Love the case. It fits my iPad mini perfectly and provides the protection from bumps and minor drops that that I need. The color is a little lighter than the picture, but it is still quite handsome.

My wife has been using this case for more than 1 year and not only looks nice but its quality has protected the iPad mini in many occasions . It has been dropped by the kids many times and still looks like new.

When I bought my GS mini, I knew it was something I wanted to travel with, but needed something small enough that I could get it to the plane as a carry on, but sturdy enough that it could stand up to things being dropped on it when I got forced to gate check it.  This case is a perfect win.  Other reviews are correct this case is only for the GS Mini, I can't imagine any other mini fitting in there.  The plus of it being so snugly designed, is that the case is no larger than it needs to be.  When placed next to other hard shell cases, you can really see how much smaller it is.  I had a little wait after ordering it, and didn't even know what it was when it arrived (I'd forgotten about it actually).  It was a really pleasant surprise.

I'm not crazy about the the look of the claps, and I worry they could get torqued if twisted when open.  However, when closed, they are rock solid offer very few snag points.

I got this case because I wanted a case that would protect my iPad2 against small drops or bumps as well as protect the screen. This case does both and more. The cover can be used as a stand to prop it up in 2 basic positions - one for typing, one for viewing. The case also has kind of a 'funnel' for the speakers to redirect the sound back towards the user - kind of nice bonus. I was very reluctant to get a case for my iPad2 since it is such a beautiful device I didn't want to take away from the look and more importantly the weight! I actually weighed the case and it is less than 3/4 of a pound and is barely noticeable when holding a 'naked' iPad2 in one hand and one with this case in the other. The only odd thing about the cover that I couldn't figure out is that there is a small notch about 1" by 1" in the bottom corner where it doesn't completely cover the screen. Not a real big deal, since the case itself has a slightly raised lip to provide protection when the iPad is laying face down or against another object.

This is so cool, looks great, and is functional as a step and bumper protection.

This case looks great and doesn't make the phone even bigger (which is a BIG deal for such a large phone).  While I cannot necessarily vouch for the actual drop protection of the case, it does offer a degree of protection against scratches and minor drops.  I like this case a lot!

I was looking for a little more robust of a case because I travel a lot.  With the changes in luggage restrictions, we're forced to cram more stuff into fewer bags.  Because of that, a few of my electronic devices have gotten damaged while traveling, mostly compression fractures on the corners of their cases.  So for my mini, I was looking for something more robust than just a screen cover.  I'm not really concerned about the "smart cover" aspect or the fancy folding stand part, but they are nice features.  I'm just happy I found a very economical solution to protect my investment from "travel rash" and keep it looking nice.
Surprising extra, very speedy order turnaround by the vendor.

I found the inserts easy to remove and the case is hardy enough to stand the traveling I do with it. The only problem I have with this case is it could be a little bit deeper, along with the inserts, to handle miniatures with additions, such as flared capes or an add-on such as a piece showing effects the miniature might be producing. Sill, I'm very happy with the product.

This is a great case if you use your Mini in landscape view most of the time. It's not good for Portrait without a separate stand. It's a stable and secure platform that protects the back as well as the front. The cover folds back nicely to use when handheld. The corner attachments provide decent protection against limited falls. It also has a very rich feel and the look of leather.
