Targus - Versavu Slim 2 Case for Apple® iPad® mini and iPad mini with Retina display - Fiery Red

Very durable. Flexibility of positions is excellent

In my opinion, these Targus cases are the best. My husband got our iPad Air mini handed down to him along with this case. When the mini was mine, I loved this case so much that I bought 2 Targus cases for my iPad Air 2's. Once, I tripped & fell on our hardwood floors with my iPad in hand. Hurt myself & was certain that I broke my iPad but all was fine. Honestly, I fell on my face & got a fat lip. I was carrying a thin blanket so maybe that helped. These cases are well padded with formed foam padding under the coverings & they rotate nicely for vertical or horizontal positioning of the iPad. In fact, I am typing this now, using the Targus case. It has nice grooves to hold the base in place for typing. I use it a lot for taking notes. They are a bit more expensive than I would like to pay but still worthwhile in my opinion.

I am very pleased with this case. It is a very lightweight case and feels like it protects the iPad mini well. There is a great closure strap, so you iPad is secure and the cover won't open. Love how I can benefit from viewing the screen horizontally as well as vertically. I do find that because the screen can swivel, it can make it a bit more challenging when reading, but I have found a comfortable way of holding it. The grooves are a bit shallow for holding the screen on an angle you want to view it, but has not been a big issue. The cover does get a bit dirty easily, but it also cleans easily. With some of the issues I have had, I am still very pleased with the case and would recommend it to anyone looking for a very effective ipad mini with retina case.

Pros: -Hard plastic shell protects iPad on all sides and corners. Openings for speakers, headphone jack & iPad controls are perfectly placed on shell. Moreover, there's an opening for the rear camera. -Mini w/ Retina Display snaps & fits perfectly into shell, and keep iPad securely in place. -Slim design & not bulky at all. Inside of case is soft & not abrasive on iPad screen. -Cord keeps cover closed when not in use. -Back of case rotates so you can view iPad in vertical & horizontal position. Cons: -Grooves are too shallow. Press on screen hard enough & iPad will collapse on its back. Grooves does not securely hold Mini in position. -When in vertical position, last 2 grooves are not usable because Mini will fall back on its back. -No position for typing mode. -No hand strap

I wanted a case that would provide protection for my ipad mini and that would make it more functional; this case does all of that. My ipad mini is protected, it can stand up and I can turn it on it's side to use for recipes while baking or watching shows, it's great.

I enjoy the color but most of all the swivel feature of this case. It's easy to take on the go and is sturdy enough to protect my iPad and yet, not heavy like many other cases. No other case compares.

I like to oil paint, so I bought this case because I like the ability to rotate the screen and stand it up so I can watch painting videos online while I paint. It's exactly what I wanted and I retuned it for one reason only. It smells, I have a sensitive nose and I could not get pasted the smell. I took it out of the box and laid it on my table for a full week. I even tried putting it in a container with a box of odor absorbing backing soda and no luck. There is something in the black liner that I couldn't get past the smell and had to return it.

I saw a similar case in my Best Buy store and was considering it; then when I saw this one online, I ordered it. Though slightly different from the one I got to hold in my hands, this case protects my iPad mini very well. I especially like that I can set it up as a stand for viewing. Having purchased Targus products before, I knew I could expect quality.
