Bought this for a Mini 2 to replace my original Modal case which was excellent protection. Reason I bought this is for wraparound the edge protection with a lip to protect the screen and a rubberized back to provide good protection for drops – in my experience hard plastic just cracks. The case does have the rubberized back and is well-made however has three downfalls: the worst is the little flap to close it. When you try to use the case in a propped up position horizontally the stupid flap gets in the way of viewing the screen. If you tuck it under the back of the case, it becomes unstable. In order to hold it down with the weight of the iPad so it won't stick up in front of the screen you have to adjust the angle too far forward and it slips off anyway. It also gets in the way of the on screen keyboard. Super annoying and I wish I had not bought this. Other two flaws: this is supposed to fit all the iPad mini's but the mini 2/Retina is a little bit thicker, so on one of the four sides the lip is constantly peeling back away from the screen edge and not staying in place. Not a dealbreaker but also annoying. Lastly there are two complete breaks in the wraparound protection: one at the lightning port and the other at the top center around the microphone. In my Modal case these were openings but not complete breaks; now there is some exposed screen edge. Unfortunately they stopped making the Modal in the same original design for the mini although it is still available for the full-sized iPad. I would not buy this again and I will probably end up buying something else. I cannot live with that flap. That said, I think it provides good protection and when it is closed it stays shut really well. And the magnetic sleep/wake off feature works fine. - But what were they thinking with this flap!

This case is a perfect fit for the mini. A rubbery material and comfortable to pack in your travel bag

Pricey, but, I get the value of my money. Excellent quality that could be a lifetime use.
