Size increased to fit Apple Pencil

I had many versions of this case with different iPads. This one has extra space to accommodate a magnetic Apple Pencil, which I don't use. It's a bit heavier and the volume buttons are not easily accessed. Love the multiple position stand and color options.

Not A Good Case

This is just not a good case. The iPad does not snuggly fit into the case so the corners are always slipping. The metal magnetic rod keeps coming out of the case, and is effectively useless. I did have an instance where the iPad hit the floor when my cat knocked it off the couch, and my iPad popped out. I would not buy this case

Excellent Case

I like the multiple ways the case props up my iPad. Also it is very easy to get the iPad into the case. This case was exactly what I was looking for, and I would recommend it to others.

Great case with a big flaw.

There very many things to like about this case. It definitely will protect your device well (as all Speck cases do). I like the multiple viewing angles. The inclusion of a spot to securely hold your Apple Pencil is a key feature that many cases are lacking. The magnetic flap covering the camera is meh. Nice to have but seems like a frill. The biggest drawback is no wake/sleep functionality. I don't really understand how this could have been omitted. This is a basic feature every case should have.

Speck's customer support drove me to return it

The case is probably fine, I know people who love Speck products. But their customer support team really rubbed me the wrong way when I inquired as to whether they were going to actually ship the item when the label had been created five days prior, so I decided to return it upon receipt and go with another brand.

Great products to protect your valuable devices

Great product that fit my iPad perfectly. It is very sturdy and exactly what I wanted to protect my device. I always use Speck products for all my electronic devices.

Poor Quality

This case is not properly made. The top and bottom (front and back) are not the same size so do not fit on the iPad correctly. It's a struggle to get the latch to line up correctly and latch. A piece has broken off the bottom already and it was not dropped. Cheaply made. So disappointed because I have used Speck for my devices for years now and highly recommended the brand to others.

Great cover for Ipad mini 7

very sturdy; does not tip over or move while typing; love the door style camera lens protector that easily opens for camera access; the speaker and control openings are spaced properly; the main latch is much sturdier than previous ipad covers from Speck

NO WAKE/SLEEP FEATURE

It's perfect I thought upon buying, only to realize later there is NO WAKE/SLEEP feature. Disappointing.

Good quality, but heavy

Fits fine and protects the iPad very well: the only issue I have is that it is fairly heavy: especially as the new tablets are typically much lighter.

Clip is hard to open

I returned because it has a strap with clip on the side to hold it shut. I couldn't get the clip open due to limited hand strength so back it went.

Does the job

This iPad mini cover is a replacement for the one I've used for several years on an older model mini. I preferred the older cover's material and clasp, as I don't intend to use a stylus. Other than that, it's perfectly acceptable and a nice color (Berry).

Quality still there

We purchased a replacement to an old Speck iPad cover that did a great job for years. The new green one looks great & ready to take back to college.

Nice fit.

Well made, better than last one I purchased. Last one was clear plastic with top and bottom. Bottom fit, top did not.

It works and it looks nice

It is a good case that is soft but durable. I don't like folio cases, but this one isn't bad. I put stickers on it since gray is boring IMO and they are sticking well despite the material being soft. I recommend this case.

So good I just bought my second one

This comes very close to being the perfect case for my iPad mini. After 3 years of constant use, it has got a little "saggy", so I have replaced it with exactly the same model. It has done a great job of protecting the iPad when it travels with me and from inevitable falls, and it props it up in several very useful ways. I have two wishes: (1) that it could also prop the iPad up in vertical orientation, and (2) that Speck made the identical case for my phone! (iPhone SE, if anyone is listening.)

I love this case!

I'd been looking for a new case for a while and nothing fit what I wanted. I found this case on sale and decided to try it out. I'm pleased to say I love it. There are so many ways to hold and support the ipad and I never feel like it's going to fall out or break. I appreciate the simple slim design and high function!

Great case

I love this case. Fits very well. I have dropped my iPad several times and the case protected it. I gave it 4 stars because when I dropped it the plastic frame broke at the top. This has happened on 2 of these cases. The first time I thought it was a fluke, but the 2nd one broke in the exact place as the first one. An obvious flaw in the construction of this product.

I bought an IPad case.

I would use Speck Products again. And, I would recommend it to a friend or a relative.

Sturdy and light weight

By Harki

The product is perfect for my ipad. As I wanted a durable as well as light-weight case for my new ipad pro, which apple made as thin as possible this time.

Much better!

By CNav

I use my iPad for work related studying. I am constantly highlighting and writing on PDFs. I was a little disappointed that Gen 1 of this case did not support Apple Pencil charging. Speck, amazingly, sent me the Gen 2 product for free when it was released. It's a beautiful, sturdy case. The Case is now fully compatible with Pencil charging. Speck took care of me by fixing their own design flaw. They have won over a new customer.
