Probably sounds silly as they are virtually the same and no difference in size or dimensions were mentioned but I compared iPad models and the iPad Mini 2 is thicker by 0.3mm. Now this might sound miniscule but cases are made to fit perfectly and I'm afraid even 0.3mm would make a difference in using a case? Am I paying too much attention or should I get cases specifically said to be compatible with iPad Mini 2?
I think it depends. If you're looking for a tight fitting snap case then you may want to look for Mini 2 cases specific, or get it from a place with a good return policy. If it's a portfolio case or a silicone case you should be fine because they have more wiggle room.
i've found that some retailers don't care if you 'try it on' in the store, you just have to ask for their help or be very careful when you open the packaging so that it is still resellable.
I have a Touch 5 and have found that iPhone 5 cases fit it, the bits of millimeters in difference doesn't pose a problem (Biggest issue I have is buttons being in different places, not case size)
Would iPad Mini cases fit the iPad mini 2?
