KHOMO iPad mini 1 2 3 Case - Dual Series - Ultra Slim Black Cover with Auto Sleep Wake Feature for Apple iPad mini 1st, 2nd and 3rd Generation

An accessory is something that complements or enhances the original product. It should be like a good relationship - it enhances what is already there, and makes it more of what it already is. So - any review of a case for Apple’s iPad mini has to start with an understanding & appreciation of the nature of the mini itself. The mini (obviously) has never been for “Size Queens (or Kings).” While using any iPad has always been a Visual experience (going back to the very first one from April 3, 2010); using an iPad mini has always been more of a Kinesthetic experience (going back to its very first generation in November 2, 2012). It’s always been “The One-Handed-iPad.” Don’t believe me ? Check out the original reviews from 2012: [...] Jason Snell of Macworld sums it up eloquently in a paragraph here: [...] The mini has always been more about Touch, Feel & Weight as it has been about sight. All of that has always made the discussion about the smaller screen size a non-starter. So an accessory should enhance that user experience. Does the KHOMO iPad Mini 4 Case pass that test? …Kind Of…(lol) The iPad mini 4 is THE lightest iPad ever made by Apple, weighing in at 10.72 oz. Even Apple’s own Smart Cover (front only) adds 2.48 oz = 13.2 oz. to that Kinesthetic experience (but it flips back and gets out of the way - mostly). Apple’s “house brand solution” of the Silicone Case+Smart Cover fits perfectly, but just makes the whole thing TOO heavy, and destroys the products very raison d'être. KHOMO’s closest competitor, the MoKo case adds 2.3 ounces on top of Apple’s Smart Cover alone. The KHOMO comes in somewhere in the middle…adding a mere 2.1 ounces (not bad) on top of Apple’s Smart Cover alone, and believe it or not, you can feel the difference between the two in your hand while using the device. The KHOMO case is a tremendous value for the price point. It shipped inside a padded mailing envelope - adequate protection for what the product is. The manufacturer packaging is more substantial than the competing MoKo, which ships only in a clear sealed bag. The nicely designed cardboard sleeve validates the “Premium Quality” branded on it, along with the expected desiccant & foam filler. * The Red/Black model I received didn’t have the advertised “Sound Boost” feature, but traditional cut-outs for each of the stereo speakers * The cut-outs in the case are accurate & functional, if not surgically precise, like Apple’s * There is a "standard gray" interior micro-fiber, as opposed to Apple's color-matched micro-fiber * The shell (back) is a rigid un-padded plastic that “snaps” firmly around all sides of the mini * The shell does pickup fingerprints, but then, that’s something we’ve all gotten used to since 2010 * The auto-sleep/wake function works well * The multi-fold case proved stable in both positions when the cover is rolled back * The case is well-engineered and the cover aligns perfectly with the edges when closed (…which, unfortunately we can’t say about Apple’s own Smart Cover when used without its intended mate: the Silicone Case) * Unlike other reviewers, I experienced no “strange smell,” and was able to use the case immediately without letting it “air out” * It comes in 16 color combinations ! For a product intended to be “serious” protection, they made it as FUN, playful & non-intrusive as possible. For someone who’s a tough case critic, who’s returned a couple of cases in less than a year - the fit, weight, and color of the KHOMO enhances my iPad mini experience, but in a way that makes me “Think Different.” It adds as much as it takes away. It’s a great value for a very reasonable investment. I can see why professional reviewers rate it so highly. [...] [...] ..and If you still value lightness in user experience, but protection while carrying - I still say consider a "combo solution," like an Apple Smart Cover slipped inside an inCase City Sleeve for travel.

Hello reader, I wanted to initially create a video review that will show you clearly how this looks on the ipad mini but because the video reviews do not work on the ipad, i figured for people who are looking for this case for the ipad on the ipad itself, to actually WRITE a review instead. To start with, I am one of those who people who hates Otterbox for the very same reason people love it for. They are sturdy and last a long time and because of that they bulk to the device. I would rather buy other good quality cases that dont cost as much and change them once in 6 months or so to make sure I continue to love the product as I did when I brought it. It just makes me feel like I have a fresh feel to the product everytime I change the case. Thats just me. That said, this case is great. It may actually last more than 6 months but I will not feel guilty about changing it if I only spent this much. This is my 3rd case for the iPad mini. The other cases were also good but i really wanted to try the smart cover for a while now and did not want to spend on it as much buying it from apple ever since i had my iPad 2. I saw all the awesome reviews for the case and decided to try it for the impressive price tag. Sure enough the item desctiption is accurate. All the ports are accessible, very very well. The smart cover itself is great. The 4 folds instead of the 3 from apple i think is working well. I am not sure why apple made it 3 folds anyway. The case just adds this slim lining to the mini itself making it come very close to holding the magical device by itself but just feeling secure about it. There is a neat grip to the case. The smart cover works like a charm. I really use (abuse) the sleep/wake function on close/open of the cover. I have hardly ever used the power button to put it to sleep even with my old cases. The only thing that I would want more is something that will hold the cover securely when you open it all the way to make it easy while reading books in the bed. But that is not a show-stopper for me. That will only be a great addition. If you are like me looking for a cover that will last 6 months or so and want a secure/snug yet slim lining to your device, go for it. If my opinion drastically changes because of the products quality, you will see an update above the review. If you dont, ALL IS GOOD.

Splendida cover, presa di colore arancio (in realtà è poco più scura della foto, ma a me piace molto) per iPad mini 2. La parte posteriore è in plastica gommata e al tatto da buone sensazioni, attenzione non è antiscivolo ma aumenta l'attrito di nn poco quando l'appoggiate. Si aggancia perfettamente al bordo smussato in alluminio dell'iPad quindi nn vi crea alcun problema sullo schermo, oltre che a diminuire lo spessore creato dal bordo della cover, credo sia 1mm. Parte anteriore calamitata, da chiusa sta ben ferma e non crea "gobbe", oltre che avere la comodità del "accendi-spegni" quando si apre. Come detto da titolo veramente OTTIMO RAPPORTO QUALITÀ PREZZO, per 18€ non so veramente cosa si trovi di meglio.

montata e usata niente da riportare è molto bella

Molto elegante e ben fatta, questa custodia non ha nulla da invidiare ai prodotti ben più costosi. Dotata di calamita che permette il blocco dello schermo e di pieghe frontali che reggono benissimo la posizione verticale. L'accessorio perfetto per il vostro iPad, rigorosamente in stile "Apple".

💯

Si adatta perfettamente all'iPad Mini. Copre bene tutto lasciando liberi i tasti. Il materiale sembra durevole e non si sporca facilmente.
