is it very protective because i do tend to drop my iPad mini. and how perfectly does it fit with the smart cover.

It is great at protecting the backside and edges of the Ipad Min. It is actually crystal clear and not frost/clear as shown on the website. It would not protect your Ipad Mini from drops. It does help in holding onto the Ipad Mini as it is a flexible material and not slippery. And yes it does work with the Apple Smart Cover. Hope this helps.

The cover works well with the Smart Cover. It is thin plastic (not padded) so it will protect against scratches but probably not drops.

I have had this case and the Apple smart cover on my iPad 2 for almost 18 months now and they work seamlessly.. It is almost like they are designed for each other.. I have had absolutely no problems with the two together.

We have the iPad mini and the case is about the same weight as the iPad. We really like it. We have had it for two weeks. It feels rugged and strong. It seems like it will protect the iPad. It does not have plastic on the cover. We don't mind because we have a screen protector on it anyway. My daughter ordered the purple case with the blue teim and it is not purple, it is more of a dark pink. Hope our comments help!

I have an iPad mini w/ a smart COVER and the fit is perfect. I believe the fit would be fine with a smart (hard) case. There is a foam pad that can be removed if you need the room, but that shouldn't be necessary.

Yes the iPad Mini with a Smart Cover fits. It's slightly snug along the sides, but it will zipper closed and comes rite out.

No. I do not have a smart cover for my Mini. When I use the leather sleeve the Mini fits snug. Do not make the purchase if you want to keep your smart cover on the Mini.

It works perfectly well with the iPad Smart Cover. I do not know if it would fit over the smart case.

It does keep the ipad safe when you accidentally drop it. It does get a little dirty due to the light color combination. I use a Lysol wipe to wipe it, doesn't get off all the marks though.

The case edge curls over all of the edges of the ipad, with the exception of a tiny bit of metal showing at the top of the four corners. Though the metal shows a bit, the ridges of the case bulge out from the metal a bit, so there would be no damage to the metal if the ipad were to be dropped. I am very satisfied with this case, and feel my mini is protected so well that I regularly throw it into my purse without a thought about how it goes in. I get an occasional scratch on the case, from use/abuse, but it clears up nicely with a bit of wax or oil, and actually adds to the patina. Looks fine with age, feels nice in the hand.

Yes it seems to have pretty good protection. The iPad fits tight within a rigged edge surrounding the back side of the case with a nice magnetic cover. I think if dropped it is well protected.

Yes, it works with the Smart cover reasonably well. When set up to stand horizontally, the iPad stands a little taller, leaning back on it at a bit less of an angle, but it is not in any danger of falling forward. Had one of these on for three weeks now and had no issues. A few minor light scratches show up if you look for them, but I haven't babied it. Nice to know that the vulnerable back of the iPad is largely protected from scrapes, marks and dents.

Yes it does. It feels a little tight on when trying to remove the ipad out of the sleeve with the smart cover but not so tight to irritate you. Other than that it fits perfectly on with the smart cover.

Hmm I want to say maybe not bc it fits quite snug, which is part of why it protects it so well...so if you are asking bc u would like extra protection I can assure u its not needed...my 2 year old has done things that should have destroyed her ipad mini a long time ago if it were not for the iguy!! It's the best case out there!!! Hope this helps

Mine is a perfect fit. It's quite tight to pull over the iPad Air and it fits snugly.

It is very snug - it keeps the profile of the phone slim without a lot of overhang. I don't believe this is the best case to do drop tests with, but as far as protecting the phone from scratches and minor drops, I believe it's fine. I haven't had the flap loosen, but I've only had the case for one month now. Also, invest in some good screen covers - they are cheap and worth the extra protection. My last phone was in really good shape and I got nearly $200 when I traded it in at Apple on the 5S.

I have no idea what a "smart cover" is. I used this for my iPad. I don't recommend this product for an iPad because it isn't very sturdy. The channels where the iPad fits does not hold the iPad upright. My iPad constantly falls over. And the color in the picture is not accurate. It is a much lighter pink with a beige strap to keep it closed. Can't wait for it to completely break so I can justify purchasing a new cover.

I use it for my iPad mini with smart cover and clear back case. It fits nice and snug but not tight. Hope that helps.
