Finally, a case that can match the beauty of an iPad Mini 4 !

This is a remarkably high quality case. I have been using my iPad mini 4 in this case for a few weeks now and it feels just right for a variety of reasons - 1. The case snugly holds the precious iPad and it is a good secure feeling knowing that the iPad is not going to get hurt if it accidentally drops. 2. The access to ports (audio, charging, camera) and the buttons is perfect. No struggle required to use any functionality. 3. The stand works as promised - holds the iPad steady at any angle. The Velcro is not too desirable, but the design is as seamless as possible which takes very little away from the overall aesthetics of the case. 4. The auto switch off works properly when the case is closed. I really hope to get several years of life from this elegant and professional case. iPad mini 4 an the ZooGue case are made for each other. If you have invested in an iPad Mini 4, protect it and celebrate it with a case to match - this one!

I really like this E LV Cover for the IPAD Mini 2 with Retina Display. The color is a deep purple and is a lovely color.  Even my husband, who when I told him I had ordered a "purple" cover & he was dismayed about that, turned out to love the color!  The cover looks very expensive for what I paid for it. It snapped in very snuggly. This is my first experience with a snap in cover. I own the larger IPAD 4 and have a slide in rooCase for it and honestly, for traveling, particularly plane travel, I do think I will use the rooCase slide in case that I also purchased just for that extra security of not worrying about the possibility of the IPAD falling out while being handled.  However, the IPAP feels extremely secure in this case and I'm sure this isn't an issue and is just my personal OCD!  The swivel feature is a nice feature. I'm not sure at this point if I will use it, but may find I will in the future when showing my husband something.  Closing the cover does turn the IPAD on and off as it should and it has all of the necessary openings for headphones, power plug, etc, that I can tell anyway.  I'm very happy with this cover!

Love this case...fits my iPad mini 4 perfectly! The pen + stylus is a nice addition and I'm absolutely certain that it will come in very handy as I purchased this case primarily for everyday travel.

With a snug fit and decent protection from minor bumps and dings, the Belkin Orla Kiely Summer Flower Case for iPad mini provides a colorful flare to your device to match the personality of many users. The floral design is actually very subtle and reminds me of a more geometric concept. But it is still a design that may appeal to girls and ladies more than boys/men. I was thinking I could get away with using it for myself, but it really didn't fit my style. What it did fit well was the actual iPad mini device. I hate buying a case for a device and the fit is not snug or allow proper access to buttons/input ports. The Belkin is extremely well made and seems to be handling the bumps and bruises of being thrown around in a school bookpack. No complaints from us.

This case is even better than it looks, micro-thin and feels good in your hand (you have to feel it to really appreciate it) it's design leverages minimalist yet effective protection that accentuates / retains the beauty of the original Apple product design rather than covering it up with a big plastic or rubber box...the elegance of the 'Brewster' woven Kevlar looks similar to a Fendi or Louis Vuitton signatutre look.

I received this product today...and am quite pleased with the quality and design of it.
-Designed specifically for Apple iPad Mini. Access to all features and controls...All the holes are in the right places.
-Ultra slim lightweight protective hardback with premium quality PU leather. The no-scratch microfiber interior adds comfort and an additional layer of protection...The back is plastic (makes a little noise when you put it down on a hard surface)with PU leather (fake leather but looks and feels nice)Also, both the front and the back have the microfiber interior. Because it has a slim design, it doesn't compromise the thinness and lightness of the ipad mini (which is, in my opinion, the best feature :))
-Built-in stand with two angles...Tried both angles and worked perfectly. The stand is quite stable for a soft cover.
-Smart cover auto sleep/wake feature. Magnetic closure....This works well. With the magnetic closure, the case closes easily and stays close but is also easy to open.
-The fit is snug. And it could be a little hard to remove your ipad mini after placing it in the case. However, I was able to do that within a few minutes and did not see any scratches on the edges.
-Overall, this product looks higher quality than its price suggests. Hopefully, the front cover will stand the test of time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It has started cracking on the edges. I will throw it away because I don't want it to scratch my iPad. But I guess you get what you pay for.

This is Anker's second generation ultra-slim case for the iPad Mini/Mini Retina and it is almost identical to their previous version, with only a few very minor changes. After researching and testing a variety of different cases for the Mini I settled on the Anker case as the overall best for the following reasons:

1. It adds the absolute minimum thickness and weight to the Mini. Why buy one of the thinnest lightest tablets if you are going to add a case that erases of those wonderful benefits?

2. But yet you want the most protection you can get. The Anker encases the ENTIRE iPad around all sides and the entire back with a rigid hard rubber/plastic material without covering even a millimeter of the front panel. There are strategically places holes/slots for the camera, second microphone and rocker switch as well as access to the top microphone, earphone jack, power switch, lightning plug and speakers. Unlike some cases the access ports are large enough that they don't interfere with any conceivable accessories.

3. There are no fancy folds, origami tricks, tabs, cutouts, rivets, pockets or anything else to add complexity or wear out. Simply a spine hinge and a simple hinge along the backside to permit setting the iPad at a wide range of horizontal angles.

4. The inside front cover is lined with a durable and attractive plush material that does not come in contact with the iPad's screen and can't possibly scratch it.

5. The entire exterior is an attractive semi-gloss material that looks remarkably like leather and is durable, non-sticky and relatively non-slip.

The only difference between the newer case and the previous model is that the older one had a matte diamond-pattern embossed surface that was even more "unslippable". Its personal preference which one looks nicer, probably most people would think the newer case looks richer but my preference is the older material based strictly on how nice it feels when holding it.

Despite being ultra-slim how well does it protect the iPad Mini?  Surprisingly well. The wrap-around cradle gives total protection against bumps, dings or even dropping the tablet (which I accidentally did from a standing height to a hardwood floor) and the rigid-but-thin front cover does an excellent job of protecting the screen. There is no need for additional fastener straps as the front cover magnet is strong enough to keep the case close (it stayed closed when I dropped it) and also serves to activate the sleep function.

And ... final bonus, this case now comes in colors. Four right now with hopefully more to come. To summarize, this is the one and only case to own and keep your iPad Mini in 24/7.

Having had no luck finding what I liked at several brick and mortar stores, I turned to the internet. Selections went up exponentially and prices were better.  I finally decided on the Snugg Ipad Mini case as it had all the features I wanted at a great price.

I was not disappointed.  It is a  great fit.  The quality is superior.  The built-in hand strap is a fatigue reducing feature that is much appreciated when on the go. I got the brown, suede model: very rich to the touch and looks expensive.  The simple, functional design makes an attractive, protective case at a good price. I keep my mini in the case 100% of the time. I would definitely recommend to a friend.

A bluetooth keyboard would have made it a 5 star rating.

Got this case in black leather. I love how slim it looks and feel on the ipad mini.
it folds back so you can use it as a kickstand. It has a really nice snug feeling onto the ipad mini.

Con: One thing i did notice, was that sometimes the sleep magnet will get unaligned with the sensor and ipad mini will turn on and off.
It gets unaligned periodically due to movement. When it does, you will hear a shutter of on and off.

On the innerside there is some felt-like material, so if you do drop your ipad mini the inside of the case won't scratch your mini.
Sturdy built on the corners. I feel safe with this thin case on my ipad mini, and you should too when buying any case for an electronic. :)

I was unsure of which case to get for my new iPad. Torn due to reading reviews. I had the apple case for my last iPad, and loved it, so wanted something similar. I finally settled on this one and am so glad I did! It is super nice! The color matches the rose gold, which I love perfectly. It is a hard case that the iPad snaps into. Perfect fit. Love! And the price point makes it even better!

The case fits the iPad mini 4 nicely.  All buttons, cutouts, etc are in the correct location.  The tablet easily slides into the back tray which is made of a translucent plastic.  The attached cover correctly turns the iPad on and off.  For the price you really can't go wrong with this case.  The front cover while made from "PU" leather is really plastic.... this one has more of a rubber look and feel than that of leather.  It is similar to the polyurethane covers that Apple sells.  If you are looking for something that has the look and feel of genuine leather you might be disappointed with this one but if you don't mind a rubbery looking cover then look no further than this case.  The front and back together are very slim and add very little depth to the iPad.  It also doesn't add much weight.  The downside is that it may not provide as much protection in the event of a drop than a thicker case may offer.  Overall though this is a well made, inexpensive case that does the job and does it well.

After 14 years as a customer on Amazon.com, this is probably my fifth review. That should indicate how incredible I find this case. This is the perfect case for those who don't want a bulky case, yet who also want to protect the back and front of theiPad Mini. The front and back portions connect via stitching on the sides. The front is a smart case That works exactly like the $40 Apple iPad Smart cases. However, with this case you also get a back protective covering the looks sleek and smooth. I have already spent well over $100 trying to find the best case. That search ends here

I love the case.  Looks very sharp and fits my mini-4 perfectly. The iPad does shut off when the cover is closed.  The built-in stand is very handy.
I like UAG products and have a case for my iPhone as well.

I ordered this case the in the same day I ordered my iPad mini. I looked through different cases and found that this case covered my iPad everywhere except, the cut out for the camara, home button and the sensors and front facing camera. Since the moment I installed the case I fell in love with it. It is not too slippery and it is also not too grippy. As long as this case holds up pretty well the next couple of months, it is going to be a well recommend case for anyone with an iPad mini 4.

I really wanted a plastic case to better protect my iPad.  And this one was just so pretty I couldn't pass it up.

The design on the case is very pretty, and there are a few pockets that are perfect for cards and notes.
The plastic casing inside has all the correct holes for my iPad mini 3.  However, the plastic is a bit softer than I expected, and doesn't fit tightly on one side.  However, the iPad doesn't fall out.

Also, the case does not have a magnetic/Smart Cover like in the item title.

The sellers included a screen protector and stylus. :)

There is a lot to like about this latest generation NUUD case for the iPad mini4. Lifeproof has done some refinements and the case looks and performs awesome. It may be the best looking case out on the market for the mini4.

Please note that this case is ONLY for the mini4, NOT any previous versions. It is lightweight at 4.72 oz (134 g). It is form fitting without bulkiness, measuring 8.61 x 5.89 x .62 (219 mm x 150 mm x 16 mm). The overall look and feel is excellent. The mini4 still feels like a thin, small and nimble iPad that is easy to carry around and keep with me. If you want to use headphones while still maintaining the waterproofness of the case you will need to purchase the $10 Lifeproof brand General Use Headphone Adapter. (I am not sure why it didn't come with the case, as they do with the iPhone cases. this would be my only gripe). However a carry strap is included, which I have found to be very useful and practical, keeping it on most of the time, as it is not hard to attach and remove. The loop at the end of the strap simply hooks to itself with a clip.

The case is fairly easy to install, but if you haven't installed one like this before, there is a process to follow to ensure a good water tight seal. Here are the steps as outlined in the owners manual:

- Check O-ring and seal. 1. Case back: make sure charge port seal is in place and free of dust, dirt, hair and debris. If dirty: remove, rinse in warm water, shake off, reinstall. 2. Case front: make sure integrated gasket and removable o-ring are free of dust, dirt, hair and debris. If dirty: rinse in warm water and shake off moisture.

- Water Test. Your case has passed a factory water test. But before exposing your device to water, its important to conduct your own water test to ensure correct assembly and a leak-free seal. 1. Insert test unit into case front and snap on case back. 2. Close charge port door and headphone jack cover. 3. Submerge in water for 30 mins. 4. Remove, dry and look inside for moisture. 5. Open charge port door and use the included case key or a coin to separate case. 6. If dry inside, go to Install Device. If wet inside visit Lifeprooofs website support section.

- Install. Note: program touch sensor before installing case. 1. Remove any screen protectors and clean device with included cloth. 2. Insert into case front and snap on case back. 3. Close charge port door and headphone jack cover.

- Remove. To remove the case: 1. Open charge port door and use the included case key or a coin to separate front from back. 2. Pull case apart and remove device.

- Shoulder strap. Feed loop fastener through corner eyelet and hook over strap clip.

- Care + Maintenance. Save water test unit and case key for future use. Keep o-rings, covers, seals and/or gaskets clean. Water test before planned water use and retest every 3 months. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to soap, chlorine or seawater. Backup your devices data regularly. After major impacts: Inspect for damage and ensure case, ports and covers are sealed. Redo water test before water use.

Thats it in a nutshell. If you do want to use a screen protector it will need to fit within the footprint of the front case screen gasket and not go under it to maintain warranty status. There are those who have installed a screen protector that runs under the front case gasket without incident, but apparently that will be done at your own risk. If you need a rugged case for drop protection I would also consider the Otterbox Defender case with built-in screen protection. It doesnt have the waterproofness nor sleek design, but has more dry environment protection IMO. I really do like this case and it is at a good price on Amazon at $87 (time of review) versus $119 direct from Lifeproof. The best thing about this case for me is that I can take my iPad mini4 with me without much fear of the rain, the pool, drinks on the table. It allows me to take it to places and environments that I otherwise wouldnt consider using it in and that is the best part for me.

Excellent case, I have ran through a gamut of iPad cases and I whole heartily believe I have found the perfect one.  This case both satisfies my three whole necessities

1)Slim, but protective on both back and front of iPad.
2) Magnetic latch for the cover of the screen so it adheres to the back when using.
3) Cover turns screen off when cover closes on screen.

This case satisfies all my core essential needs and then some, the origami style stand is an added benefit for various viewing angles.  I use this case on a daily basis for school, so it's in and out of my backpack on a daily basis.  My only concern is the microfiber lining on the opposite side of the cover front.

I would recommend this case to anyone who looking for slim minimalist case, that provides functionally and the ability to still hold the iPad in one hand and not feel weighed down.

On a side note I would not call this case rugged by any means.

Update: December 8th, 2015

I have had this case for almost a year now. Unfortunately I have swapped it out for another case, due to some issues I was having with this case after the extended use.

- The case began to create an abrasion mark on the back of my iPad Air 2, so now I am stuck with a abrasion blemish on the back aluminum casing.
- The sides that cling to the iPad have seem began to crack slightly. I am guessing it will progressively get worse, thus opting to switch to a different case.

Overall it's an aesthetically pleasing case still. I just couldn't get past the idea of how the back casing has created a rubbing abrasion on the iPad casing.

I knocked it down one star, due to the abrasion and the cracking of the sides.
