what are the best ipad mini cases

the iPad mini was just released for sale and while there are some available cases now, there will be many more available in the coming weeks. I'd wait to buy a case until more variety is available.

I bought a Smart Cover for my iPad 2 and fine that is all I need for my iPad.

There are many available at Amazon I know. Have always been a huge fan of the Bear Motion and it is, imo, the best iPad mini case. Had it for my iPad 2 and now iPad Mini

I have to say that for any iPad case questions, you have to mention the otterbox series. Nothing keeps the iphones and ipads better protected in this house. Especially since the iPad Mini is smaller than the original iPad, I would espect that having a sturdier case will make this thing last even longer.

Needing a BlueTooth keyboard case to go along with my new iPad Mini, I search for a few. Being a new gadget in the market, there are not many choices. Gauging from the positive reviews of other users, I decided to take a bold choice and picked on the QQ-Tech iPad mini case that I saw on the website that I bought my last keyboard case. http://bit.ly/RdqJI7

After I receiving it , I immediately charged the device, I started pairing it and using it, cool and simply loved typing on it ! Alike with other reviewers : With my mini ipad and the bluetooth keyboard , I its a netbook/ iPad mini !

I agree with the earlier post, you gotta go with the Otterbox Case. I purchased this case for my IPad Mini. It is a perfect fit and does not add much weight at all. It is great protection and a necessity to have this for the IPAD Mini. The stand is nice for both upright and side display of the iPad Mini on my desk.

It depends, are you looking for a case or folder design?

If you are looking for more of a case then I would also recommend Otterbox. It is known to have strong protection against drops and sctratches. There is also a protective cover over the the screen.

If you are looking for more of a folder design. Then go with either Snugg or Poetic, depending on your budget. They both have a polyurethane material to protect your ipad mini. It also features a smart cover where if you close it, it sleeps, and awakes when you open it.

I'm what you consider a gadget junkie always trying out new products and since the introduction to tablets (iPad's) I've been searching for that perfect case as well. I've owned the clamcase (keys broke three months from purchase date and yes, just after the warranty expired), hard shell, soft shell, leather cases, and the Otterbox Defender case for the iPad2. The previous edition I was not as impressed with. The silicon was a bit loose and felt too bulky but it did do it's job twice, when I dropped it on concrete. I just purchased the iPad Mini and shopping for a case, a young man sold me this otter box that was his display. This case rocks!!! The silicon wraps tightly around the plastic case which feels like one entire piece. It does add to the weight of the mini but definitely better than the larger version, not to mention, the peace of mind knowing it's protected. Also, the rubber port covers for the plug, earphones actually stay in place when pushed in.

A brief word about some of the AMAZING features of this case... The screen protector is built in to the top part of the case, and although I had trepidation about that initially, my fears were allayed; the screen sits on the screen directly and there is no space between the screen and the protector. The removable cover doubles as a stand in several positions, and feels like Cole Hamels could throw a fastball at it and it would still protect the screen. Also, you can use it on the front or the back so if you're throwing your mini in a backpack or luggage, you can do it without fear.

Obviously there's not too much to say about this case that hasn't already been said. It's tough, it's stylish and it's functional. But that should be no surprise... OtterBox is renowned for their cases by now. All I can recommend is this: to those who are wondering whether it is worth the money, imagine what it will be like to take your iPad mini out of the OtterBox in a year and have it look exactly the same as the day you bought it. No scratches, no scuffs, cracks.

It's just an amazing case, well worth money for the peace of mind it brings.

I definitely second the Otterbox suggestion. But if you're going to go for a keyboard case then I would suggest the Belkin keyboard case. So far it's the most sleek and easy to type on keyboard case (better than Zagg and Logitech, in my opinion). I do a lot of writing on the road so having a keyboard case is essential for me.

I am looking for a case for my mini as well, because i am so disappointed in Otter Box!

The disappointement came today when i discovered that the otter box that i had on my mini did not protect it from the screen breaking when it dropped about 4 feet onto a bean bag chair...the breakage was disappointing, but the bigger disappoinment came when i found out that the otter box doesnt "warranty" the contents of their case, just their case. So if you drop it and the case breaks, they will replace the case, but they wont replace the broken ipad mini.

So my real response to this question is ...who cares about the case. Be sure to purchase the apple care extended warranty.

I think the best case is the Spigen Air Cushion Slim Case. Great protection in a sleek design. I have one for my iphone and iPad mini.

I really like the Apple smart case but couldn't bring myself to spend that much money. Fortunately the Jetech Smart Case is an awesome knockoff for only $12.
