Very Similar to iPad Mini
341772
This tablet is very similar to the iPad mini, but much cheaper. There are a few differentiators, but in the few areas where the KMINI lacks, it's not really a deal breaker. It also has some perks that Apple can't provide. If you're looking for a fantastic tablet at a bargain price, wish Apple ran on android, or tired of wasting big bucks on technology that is quickly outdated, this may be a great choice.

Structure wise, there are a few areas where the KMINI is not as good as an iPad or even Kindle Fire. Here are the flaws:

- Heavy
- Runs slightly hotter than most tablets
- So-so battery life (3 hours)

There are also aspects which are significantly better than iPad and Kindle Fire:

- Plays any audio file format imaginable (FLAC, WAV, APE, WMA, MP3, OGG, APE, AAC and more)
- Plays any video file format imaginable (MKV, VOB, AVI, DAT, FLV, WMV, MP4, RMVB, and many more)

The browser is lightning fast. Plenty of memory. The audio quality is much better than expected (leaps and bounds better than Kindle Fire HDX). Video is also very impressive.

Everything you need comes in the box, including a bonus stylus pen and earbuds.

OVERALL: As someone who is not a fan of the Apple operating system, this tablet is an awesome way to have the functionality of an ipad without having to deal with iOS. Although it's designed to be a bargain device, the speed, specs and quality is very high quality. I would recommend it for yourself or maybe the kids, since it's affordable and won't be as frustrating if you break it. I give it a very high recommendation.

This item was sent to me courteous of Kocaso for the purpose of an unbiased review.

I own a Galaxy S5 phone so am enjoying the ease of use and compatibility of this device to work just like my phone. Replacing my Nexus 7, I notice a great difference in screen resolution and speed. From what I can see compared to my daughter's iPad mini, the same features at a better price point.

This is a great alternative to the expensive $29 Ipad Mini Cover. This case actually protects the front screen and the back of your device. Does not interfere with any buttons and allows for use of the cameras without taking out of the case. No, it does not have the sleep/wake function but who really cares. It is not that difficult to just press a button. Fits firm and does not weigh down the Ipad Mini at all. Couldn't have spent a better $9

I picked up a Mini at a great price on Black Friday and wanted a case. I've had good luck with the Marware case on my iPad 2 but the reviews for the mini version were not that great. I saw this and noticed it was similar but had better reviews (thank you fellow Amazon shoppers). So it arrived and as I unwrapped it I realized it's just like the Marware CEO Hybrid, but obviously less expensive. It's well made and not flimsy. I can't stand those thinner cases that... well.. don't stand up.

I have owned this for about 4 months. I am a huge Samsung fan. Our 51 inch plasma TV, 3x current S4 phones in use, Note 3 phone in use, S3 phone for years, Galaxy Tab 2 for years and I've had ZERO problems with All of these. Maybe I'm lucky but I am a big fan of Samsung from personal experience.

I've owned 5 different generations of Apple Ipads as well. I enjoy IOS and Android both.

I had the iPad mini 1 from Apple for a few years. When I moved to an IPad Air the retina screen on the IPad Air made it much easier to read and graphics, games, text were all MUCH better. Resolution is very important when considering eye strain.

So far I have great enjoyed the Samsung Tab A 8 inch. It is lower screen resolution than the retina display but seems better than the iPad Mini. The Tab A is quick enough and the screen looks really good. Samsung displays in my opinion look better than the Ipads. So even a lower resolution screen like this Tab A still looks great. I love that you can add memory and have tons of storage on this.

I guess the Tab A main competitor would be the IPad mini 2 with Retina display at 229.00 at most retailers. 179 vs. 229 isn't that much difference. The iPad was 269 when I chose the Tab A. The Tab A is a great tablet but the iPad mini 2 is worth a look at only 50.00 more.

Still I am happy with the Tab A and would recommend it to anyone I know.

The screen is nice and bright and still looks great.

At first thought I thought the iPad Mini 4 wouldn't fit into the case, but thankfully I was wrong and it's just a very snug fit. I found this to be great and the keyboard is completely removable from the case and can be used away from the iPad and case if necessary. Not being tied down within the case gives you more flexibility with the keyboard. The keyboard is nice and light and easy to use.

Nice budget smaller tablet.  I purchased 1 of these to replace a Kindle Fire ($50 5th generation) I gave to one of my kids to play with as he really wanted it.  This is simple to use, fast app launching, and seems quite capable at the $120 sale pricepoint I purchased this for.  I was considering a less expensive Acer Iconia one 8", but the dedicated controls and the "Promise" of Marshmallow update from Samsung support made me go with this model.

My wife and I use iPad Air 2's with the kids all having iPad Mini 2's in the house - this was purchased mainly as a toy for myself (and one for the wife) to tinker around with Android.

I am really hoping that Android Marshmallow is released for this like I see it for the larger 8" & 9.7" Tab A models to gain the full use of the SD Card slot as seamless App storage.  Having 4ish~ GB total for apps/games might be a limitation for some users.

I knocked off a star as this tablet is very sensitive to backlight bleeding with the ever so much of a slight twist to the tablet.  I first noticed this while using the Kindle App on a black screen with white text.  it is really only noticeable with a mostly black, or very dark background.  For everyday use I probably would have never noticed it.

I had ordered a Slim shell case that is plastic, and I can see a slight difference with the case on, and off as the case seems to slightly twist (or put pressure on) the tablet just enough to let the black change to a lighter grey color a the top.  I am hoping there are no long term issues with this flexible chassis.

Granted I have not (and likely would have not) noticed this until I had an all black background and was playing with the Kindle App - this does not even photograph well.

Regardless, I still would recommend this as an excellent budget tablet if an iPad Mini 2 is out of your price range.

This works great with my iPad mini! The keyboard is small but that's to be expected since it's for a mini. The keys are still big enough for me to type with minimal mistakes. I like the hard casing of it so It's very durable. I still bought a sleeve though to protect the outside from getting scratched. It's a bit difficult to pop the iPad mini out once you put it in but I hardly have a reason to take mine out so that's not a big deal for me. One thing to pay attention to is that you can't take pictures in tablet mode because the keyboard blocks the lens. I either slide it up a bit like I'm going to swivel it around or just swivel it all the way around to take a picture. Hope that makes sense. It's not a big downside so for me I still give it five stars.

I was initially undecided between this case and the otterbox defender. Our family has three ipad minis and two of which have the defender cases on them. The Spigen was a great value overall since it was about $25 cheaper than the otterbox. As for performance, the case does in fact work with the iPad mini with retina display as well as the original ipad mini.

Please bear in mind that if you do intend on using this for the original mini, the case is snug. This makes it a little bit of a challenge to use the case as well as a screen protector; however, with some patience, it can be done.

The construction of the case is VERY sturdy while not adding bulk to the mini. The inner shell is made of a flexible rubberized plastic and the outer shell seems to be more of a hard polycarbonate. The combination is stylish, durable, and compact.

Overall I'd give the case five-stars; however the ease of being able to utilize a screen protector in conjunction with the case tainted that just a bit, but not by much. So in all honesty, this should be more of a 4.5 star review due to the small inconvenience this is.

I've purchased three cases from Spigen for different devices and have yet to be disappointed, I'd definitely purchased from them again!

The ipad mini has a wonderfully crisp display and is like a larger version of the iphone without the phone. It's the perfect size to travel with as it easily fits into my handbag. The battery life is great and lasts a good 8 hours of heavy gaming. It charges up quite quickly as well. A great product!

I have tried out several iPad mini cases including&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Ionic-Brown-Leather-Case-Cover-with-Charger-and-Screen-Protector-for-New-Apple-iPad-Mini-7-9-inch-the-iPad-Mini-7-Inch-built-in-Stand-for-Apple-iPad-Mini-7-9-inch-Latest-Generation-4G-LTE-6-item-Support-Smart-Cover-Sleep-Wake-up-Function/dp/B0093RMEA0/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Ionic Brown Leather Case Cover with Charger and Screen Protector for New Apple iPad Mini 7.9 inch / the iPad Mini 7 Inch / built-in Stand for Apple iPad Mini 7.9 inch Latest Generation 4G LTE (6-item)[Support Smart Cover Sleep/Wake up Function</a>] - which SUCKS, by the way - and many other models in-store, and am happy to report that I finally found the perfect case for my needs, and within my budget.

Good: All the cutouts are in the right spots, the sleep/wake function works as expected, and the magnets hold the cover firmly enough in place. It is a very sleek case considering that it has the smart cover and full back and body plastic cover, measuring less than 1/2" thick.  It's also very nice material as far as vinyl or PU goes.  The vinyl is supple and flexible but feels sturdy enough to hold up to everyday use.  I had already purchased a generic 7" tablet sleeve, and this case fits well inside of it for travel and shock absorption.  This case fully protects the corners and edges, other than the cut outs at the various plugs, switches and speakers.  Also, the color is rich and vibrant in person, and slightly less "orange-y" than the photos show.

Not so good: The only real down side in my opinion is the slight instability when using the smart cover as a stand, but this is a small sacrifice that is well worth the slim profile in my opinion.  Also, I had a relatively hard time putting the case on, as there is a *very* snug fit to the case.  It was tricky to snap in fully, and I almost gave up and sent the case back, actually, but I kept at it and now it's IN for the long haul!  (Hint - I found the most luck putting the two "outside" corners in first, the ones away from the flap, and then guiding in the other two.) There is no way it will fall out accidentally once you get it in there properly as it is a perfect, tight and secure fit.

Overall I am very satisfied with this case and it more than meets my requirements.  Also to note, it looks pretty slick with a black mini. :)

Bought this for an iPad mini and it works well for this and other devices

Amazing for the Ipad mini 3.  Works quite well.  Will post another review in 6 months if still working.  The jtech I bought previously for the same purpose died after 4 months.

I got this for my wife's iPad Mini 2 and she really liked the design. It's a little shiny which is hard to tell from the online photos, but the image is vivid and sharp. The wood grain looks realistic and there is light textured feel to the surface. The inner lining is microfibre-like and the two ridges are adequate for horizontal viewing angles without slipping or falling out. The cover is pretty thin and does appear a little on the cheap side, but it is amazing well put together. It feels solid once you get it in your hands, but is very light weight and add very little to overall mass of the iPad Mini. I don't know how well this cover will protect the iPad from a drop, but I don't think this folio style is what you are looking for if that is you main concern. There are more robust designs out there for that. This is a simple, effective, attractive way to both protect and personalize your iPad Mini 2. Oh, the microfibre cloth and stylus are an added bonus. They work just fine and are basically free.

While the screen is beautiful and it functions well, I find the iPad mini to be an awkward size. It's a little too big and slippery to palm in one hand, yet the screen is too small to comfortably read full web pages. Having used both a 7" Android tablet and a larger iPad Air, I'd recommend either one over the iPad mini.

Very user friendly, sleek, small, and slim. Connecting the keyboard bluetooth was very simple and the keys were perfect size for my fingers. Of course, my hands are quite petite so for someone with large fingers, you may struggle a bit. A few chars such as apostrophes, quotes, and parentheses have been condensed to the function button but it is not hard to adapt to. Other reviews have been accurate in that if you have any sort of case cover on your iPad, then it will not fit to the slot that holds the tablet up. A good idea is to not use case covers at all and instead use full decal protectors which will help your iPad maintain its slimness plus give your tablet some character with all the cool designs that are out there on the market. The magnet that catches the edge of the iPad to shut off the tablet is a fantastic design. It naturally slips right in. I totally recommend this product for the price.
