I just ordered the Kudocase Solar battery case for the mini. I've bought their solar powered battery cases for the iPad and iPad 2 and really like them. Hopefully the case for the mini will be just as good.

Doesn't that mean that you have to take the case off - or at least unplug something - before you can attach the USB cable? That doesn't sound very convenient.

Some battery cases will pass through, others you have to take it out. The older style Kudocases required that you take the iPad out of the case. I'm not sure about the new ones since it's not scheduled to show up until sometime Monday. It's not nearly as much of an issue now that you can sync to your computer via wifi.

I've just bought a snugg case for my mini. It seems to be high quality and functional.

Actually this will only be number 2 .
The Apple Smart case went back on Saturday as I felt the front did not offer enough protection for transporting in a handbag. The ISKIN Vibes case was returned on Friday as I didn't like the texture or the solid plastic stand strips which would have laid against the screen. The Kajauli case went back today as that weighs 280grams , which is far too heavy. My first case was the Lente designs Crazy Daisy which is lovely, and only weighs 124 grams, but its a tri fold which as a stand is too fragile and unstable. I am keeping this one though. I wanted a flat front case but I have given up looking, we have Snugg cases on both my Air and hubbys ipad 3 so we know the quality and a friend of mine has one for her mini and she weighed it for me, it weighs 154 grams, so weight should be fine. |

I feel the same about the smart cover. Its what I use at home, but if I am out and about I switch to the kensington leather which does *not* have a magnet in it to turn it into anything smart. That way, I know its not going to be randomly switching on in my bag whilst out. I used the smart cover on a longish train trip and it switched on in my bag, and was on for 3 hours it seemed. All it takes is for the cover to shift slightly and there ya go. It was really hot, too, when I took it out at the other end.

That's why I've given up looking as I scoured the high street too. Snugg is a known product as we already have two. It's not a flat front but it's seems the best I can find now. |

Amazon is one retailer I'm loathe to order from too be honest. I'm anti Amazon right now anyway over what they did to my account (privacy issues) and most cases are supplied by third parties and are too unknown in quality/weight etc for me to risk ordering any.

FYI, I heard that next year companies like Amazon and Apple will have to charge a higher VAT in the UK that might raise purchases by up to 20%. Something about the UK closing a VAT loop hole wherein some companies were selling through other countries where the VAT was as low as 3%. |
