I have just ordered the new iPad Mini 4 from Apple. I want to order a case and screen protector and have them here when the Mini 4 arrives. I note that the new Mini 4 is supposed to be the thinnest yet. Does this mean that cases for the MIni 3 will be loose or not fit? Are the other dimensions and button placements the same? Will Mini 3 screen protectors fit? Thanks for any help.
iPad Mini, iOS 8.4.1, 4
There is .13 of an inch of difference

also the 4 is a bit thinner.
There are photos and specs there.
If your case is a portfolio or other type of case it may be ok, but if it's a tightly machined hard plastic case, then probably not.
My recommendation is to wait until the Apple On Line Store displays the proper cases.
Actually they can be found here: https://www.apple.com/ipad-mini-4/accessories/
Enjoy your new iPad.....
Will iPad Mini 3 cases, etc. fit on Mini 4?
