The Week in iPad Cases: All about the mini
The iPad mini is front and center in this week’s roundup of protective accessories for Apple’s tablets. And why not? The new form factor gives manufacturers something different to sink their teeth into, and they've come up with exciting new design ideas that will, no doubt, eventually expand to fit the mini’s larger cousins.
Ballistic's Smooth Series
Ballistic: The Smooth Series (iPad mini; $40) is a slim snap-on shell case made of durable TPU material that offers excellent protection while adding minimal bulk. It features a stay-flat construction that protects the iPad mini’s screen by raising from its resting surface, and comes with four interchangeable “ballistic corner” bumpers. It’s available in black, purple, pink, or charcoal grey.
BoxWave's Swivel Stand
BoxWave: The Swivel Stand (iPad mini; $30) is a jack-of-all trades. As a case, it keeps your iPad mini safe from bumps and scratches, covering it in its entirety during transport. Once you open it, though, the back swivels around, allowing you to prop your tablet up in both landscape and portrait orientation, while the grooves built into its interior cover support multiple viewing angles.
Cygnett's Workmate
Cygnett: The Workmate (iPad mini; $40) was designed to provide heavy duty protection against bumps and drops. The dual-material case helps absorb shocks without adding any significant bulk to your tablet, and is a perfect companion for both work and play. The case features all the appropriate openings for cameras and ports, and comes in slate grey or red.
