I have the first mini and its fine. However i don't think that there is any external changes on the mini 2 - you should be fine.

Don't know anything about retina display. Is IPad retina the same size and thickness as regular mini? If so, it should be ok.

Depends on how important retina display is to you, if you want the pro wait for the new one this nov

I just got my iPad mini last week (cost of $460) so I'm fairly sure it is the iPad mini 2 (I know it's funny I'm not sure... my husband actually bought it for me) and it works great with the iPad I got

I have the mini without retina display and it fits great.I purchased this brand for the mini after buying one for my Ipad 3 with retina display. It was to replace the apple brand one which was pretty expensive. This one is so much nicer. It comes with a back cover, stylus and clear screen cover (although I dont use this part)I would recommend to anyone.

I accidentally bought the Invellop iPad Mini I case for my iPad Mini II (with Retina display). The fitting was very tight since the iPad Mini II is thicker than the iPad Mini I. Still, it kind of work and I am not afraid the iPad will fall out from the case even one corner does not totally go in. I bought an iPad Mini II case anyway because the iPad Mini II has a rear mic which the iPad Mini I does not have so the iPad Mini I case is missing a punch out. I suspect the reverse is true for using an iPad Mini II case for iPad Mini I. You will get an extra punch out at the back of the case for no purpose and it may be kind of loose but you can shim it thicker if you really want to use the iPad Mini II case. The difference is paper thin.

Do you want something big or something small? I have never owned an iPad mini but from what I have heard, they fit in the palm of your hand and that would drive me insane after a while. I think either or would be fine for what you want an iPad for but I would go with the iPad 2.

The OLD version is the iPad mini 1st generation which is equal in specs to the iPad 2. The NEW version is the iPad mini with retina display which has a better processor (A7 chip) and a much better display due to a lot more pixels in the screen. Words and images look far more seamless and just better overall. The iPad Air has the same specs but is more expensive because it is full size. I opted to get the iPad mini w/ retina display with 32 gigs which is a better deal than getting the iPad air with 16 gigs (about the same price).

It came out just before the 4 and is the last version of the iPad 3 and it has all the bells and whistle and OS as the 4 the only difference is it doesn't have the HD retinal display; everything else is just like the iPad 4. Hope this helps. I don't even notice the difference and for the money it is a great deal. Kristina D.

Yes because both minis are the same size. It might be a bit tight at first. I have had no problems with mine. Got it for the first mini and now use it for the retina mini.

Retina yes, that's what I have I'm not sure about the mini 1. But if they have one for it great cause I love mine 100%

I think it is faster than iPad air but its screen is easily broken... So be careful or u better get a case. Mini is smaller and I like it cuz it is easy to carry

Absolutely not! I purchased a used "like new" iPad mini. It worked great for about a month then went completely nuts. I've tried everything to fix the problem with no luck. When I went to amazon to return it, the 30 days was up and now I can't return it an I am stuck with a $400 paperweight. My advice would be STAY AWAY FROM WAREHOUSE DEALS INC!

I agree with the other respondents. I would guess so. The retina screen model should not be much different size wise. I still absolutely love my Photive Ultra Slim cover. I have not yet seen anything else that compares to it. I hope it works for your mini ipad.

I have a Zagg on a retina display iPad and my wife has one on a mini w/o retina. both work perfectly, mine for over a year. Zero problems and I would highly recommend.

The iPad Mini w/ retina display is a slightly thicker than the regular iPad mini. I'm assuming the clasp/hinge that holds this keyboard to the device is slightly bigger to accommodate the the retina display model.
