Does the zipper scratch the back of the iPad when taking it in and out? Also, will a mini with Smart Cover fit?

No, no catching. Yes, it would fit: I use it when I have the keyboard cover and there is plenty of room.

It does not scratch - the zipper is painted or coated. Definitely will fit with a smart cover. Actually had a keyboard cover on mine.

No the zipper does not scratch and the smart cover fits, I have smart cover with one side cut out so it can fit with my magnetic keyboard (Logitech). It fits great; compact, safe, and easy to access on my flights.

I haven't notice any scratching on mine. I don't have the Smart Cover, but the V7 is roomy so I would think it would fit fine.

No, the zipper does not scratch, and the ipad fits very nicely with the attached keyboard

HiNo the zipper does not scratch the back of the ipad, and yes we use the sleeve with a Smart Cover on the iPad mini.RegardsJodi

I have a smart cover for my ipad mini and the smart cover/ipad fits easily in the case. I also have the logitech wireless keyboard for the ipad mini and it too will fit in the case with the ipad mini. The zipper does not scratch the ipad. This is a great case at a great price. I left a 5 star review for it.

I put my mini in a ballistic drop-proof protective cover. The mini still fits in just right in the v7 ultra protective sleeve. The zipper will definitely not scratch the ipad because there is enough room to maneuver it. Even with an extra layer of protection with my ballistic cover, the zipper has enough room to move without stratching the edges or back. The sleeve is very good though.

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

I've had mine for a while and it's never been scratched the case is well padded

It will be too big for the mini. It is somewhat too big for my iPad Air, which is bigger than the mini.

I purchased it for the same purpose. My iPad comfortably fits in with its Apple Smartcase and I can close the zipper. I also put my wallet and iphone and keys.

If you mean the front zippered compartment then I'm not sure but it isn't as crush proof as you might think. The material is semirigid but I wouldn't put my iPad Mini in there even though it's in a Pelican housing because I'm afraid that the screen could still be cracked because the zippered cover is only about as stiff as a credit card. It is padded on the underside but I don't know how really crush proof or would be.

It's not really "padded." The Ipad Mini itself fits into the case and the cover is just like an Apple brand "Smart Cover." It has the magnetic thing that auto locks and unlocks the Ipad Mini when you open and close the cover. Maybe look at the "Smart Cover" from Apple for details. The Apple one is much more expensive, but maybe take a look to find out more about the magnetic cover. I hope this helps.

I was very concerned by this, too. There is a tiny bit of padding where the iPad connects, therefore if you are careful, it will not scratch.

Yes, as long as it isn't in a bulky case. My iPad mini in a simple Smart cover with back case cover is a snug but easy fit.

I bought it for my wife when our son gave us our first iPad. She likes it so much that when I got her an iPad 2 with a hard shell for the back and a Smart Cover, she put the Smart Cover back in the box and left the hard shell on so it would fit inside this case. Of course, she has to take it out of the Squish case to take pictures, but that doesn't bother her. I think the same configuration would fit the new iPad (4).bz

Yes. There is a zippered pocket on the side. My iPad mini fits with room to spare. I also have Nook hd+ that fits.

No! It fit my ipad2 perfect. Think the mini is too small for the compartment

Yes, in my opinion it is an ideal fit. About 10mm (or 1/2 inch) wider and taller than iPad mini retina with smartcover. Easy to put it inside or take out, but not too much free space, so that it doesn't wobble.

I fit my ipad with case/keyboard on it. I use the Belkin Keyboard case (the metal looking one) and it fits snug...if yours is bulky, it won't zip up.

Hi, I have iPad mini (original) and it fits perfectly. As far as I know iPad mini retina is pretty much the same size as iPad mini. One thing I need to let you know is after I use this cover for awhile I notice the leather gets too soft after you bend the cover to stand for a while. It is impossible to make it stand at the first track now. :( (Not sure if you understand what I mean). And, this cover doesn't have auto shut off function. Just to let you know what you should expect if you buy it. The price is good and the color is pretty though.

I am not familar with the KHOMO case. My iPad mini wears a in elope case which is like a Smart Cover with a back and it fits inside the Blason neoprene case very well - not too tight, not too loose, but just riight. I have droped my iPad in its neoprene case several times. No problems. It has saved me. I recommend it highly

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.

My iPad Air is slightly larger - 9 -3/4" & it fit fine. I also changed to a heavier cover to protect the iPad better. The Smart Cover does not cover the back. If you drop it ...

The smart cover snaps onto the iPad, then the back cover fits on. The smart cover is not removable with the back covers, but works well for my situation. I would not go without a back cover.
