Anyone who thinks this shell feels like cheap silicon that is known of mobile phone cases and sheer dust properly disgusting feels the passage of time, you are wrong. Much more it feels like a softer plastic, how to find it, for example in a similar form in Inenraum of vehicles: Although tight, but somehow slightly resilient and flexible. For this reason, the iPad can also quickly insert and remove in the case. It has no sharp edges, so that the iPad Mini is expected to take no damage when it takes common and used. Who a keyboard, such as the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard used the edge on the long side must remove, because of the stand is the iPad Mini Case with a bit too thick. Who does not have a Smart Cover, also runs the risk that the iPad also takes damage as a result of the recess on the side. As someone wrote in another review, this cut for the Smart Cover is indeed a few millimeters too big, but probably by the distance through the cover in normal use, nothing happens. When cover is closed this lies on the edge of the envelope on evenly. Since the Smart Cover is already slightly above the edge of the iPad out, that's not bad, by the shell, it acts more or less congruent and the magnet holds it closed. Between cover and screen may be 1-2 mm square, but not too disruptive and the luggage is perhaps also a buffer that display nothing happens. Also, I had no problems, neither insert Lightning charger cable and USB Camera Kit, which fits through the shell. Due to manufacturing tolerances, it might be different for other specimens but quite. Of course, the cover makes the iPad a bit thicker, which is probably inevitable in an all-round protection. Those who prefer to enjoy the aluminum feel and can mainly take out minor scratches in buying, maybe goes better with a neoprene case. The advantage however, between this cover in conjunction with Apple's Smart Cover is that the iPad always ready for use and is also folded together quickly and stowed. However, this should be obvious to potential buyers before buying.
Given the high quality processing, the well-feeling material and the extremely reasonable price a strong buy recommendation. The only thing that could disrupt Apple friends, is no longer visible in landscaped shell apple on the back. Who needs this status, the iPad should be used with Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard, this looks really really classy, then costs but also a lot more.
