I wanted a case that was extremely thin, one of the things I liked about Mini of course was how small, thin and light it was, so the last thing I wanted was a case that added excess bulk to it. For greater protection I liked their bamboo bordered “solid” designs, but I didn’t want the extra size or thickness, so the Hardcover versions were perfect. It uses a reusable double-stick adhesive to hold the iPad in place, so it doesn’t add any unnecessary bulk to the case or extra clips, clamps or covers to grip on to the ipad in the front. It does have a camera hole and all of the normal ipad features (doc, volume, headphones, etc.) are easily accessible, yet still somewhat protected from minor impacts or bumps as I carry it around.

I paid $34.95 for mine, and just knowing it was hand made and manufactured in San Francisco sealed the deal for me.
