    Love my iPad Mini. For me it’s the perfect size. I like to read in bed at night and because of smaller size it’s easy to hold up. We also do a daily free jigsaw puzzle at breakfast every day. I use it for texting, placing orders, research, keeping a journal & appointments. Because it syncs with my iPhone all info is always there.

    We bought this for our son to use for school apps his teacher recommends. He loves playing on it not just for school. I enjoy using it also. I have always had android devices. I find it easy to use, and with the crayon we purchased also it makes using it a lot easier as I am not accidentally touching other letters.

    I needed to take all my games off my cell phone. They were slowing my response time and draining my battery. This little mini iPad did the trick. Now I can play all my games on the iPad with lightning speed response time plus I was able to add a lot more games. Small and lightweight, easy to take anywhere. I love it!

    As I type this review on the iPad.. great purchase & a definite upgrade from the iPad I purchased from Best Buy 4-5 years ago.. camera quality is great.. storage capacity is great.. seamless transition to previous installed apps.. and I still have yet to use all of its features..

    This was such an easy purchase, wanted a smaller lightweight iPad (mini) right away. Unfortunately my local Best Buy did not have it in stock but I was able to purchase it and it shipped immediately and I received it the next day, amazing. Thanks Best Buy!

    Bought this to use as the display for my Garmin GDL-39 3D. Works great. It’s small enough to clamp comfortably to the yoke of a Cessna 172 and the new anti reflective coating of the screen makes it a lot better than the old one. Twice as expensive as the old one, too.

    I am not tech savvy but I am a huge fan of Apple products. I am very pleased with this item, the storage is sufficient and I don’t have the fear of using all my storage space. I don’t know what else to say, except I love it and it’s convenient to carry around. Love it

    I love my new mini IPAD. I upgraded because I wanted to be able to use my Apple pen with it. The size and weight are perfect to slip into my purse. Now I can take notes right on my device and share it with my phone as well as other people.

    Excellent open-box purchase. Under $350 iPad mini 256gb and looks brand new. Saved a couple hundred off new. Best Buy has some of the best deals out there. Yes, apple is overpriced but you can’t beat their quality and ease of use with comparable iPhones.

    I love it!!!!!! It’s exactly what I needed. I love apple products and always had a iPad but the mini256 is just what I needed fits discretely in my purse and I take it everywhere. I do wish I could have gotten one with WiFi and unlocked but this will do.

    I didn’t expect too much of a change from them. I use this iPad more that my phone. It is a must have for people who type, shop online or text. Don’t do like I did and forget to get the protection plan for it. No problems though.

    Bought this for my daughter's birthday to replace a 3 year old Samsung Tablet. Even thought she misses her tablet because she was used to it she says she loves her new Ipad mini. Bought her a screen protector and sturdy case to go with it since ahe is only 7 years old.

    I love this device. It’s the perfect size for almost every use. If I needed a mobile tablet the size of a computer screen, I’m better off buying a full power laptop. This size is the perfect right off of screen size and ability to carry around. Only challenge is that nobody will sell me a cover. :-)

    It works great. Faster than my older one. The only down side was the price. The choices in storage size were virtually no storage or so much storage you’ll never fill it. So I spent the money to not worry about storage space. They really need to bring back the middle choice.
