The tripartite division of the front is also valuable and stable. Magnets hold the lid in place and also when you open and putting down everything stays in position without it sliding. Inside the cover is the cover with fleece or microfiber fabric covered, so the Mini is well protected. In addition, the shell is touch dry, which means it will not slip out of your hands.
The shell is very light in weight. Packed it is in a plastic box.
Smell I could not tell. With me everything fits perfectly.
