rooCASE Slim-Fit Case for Apple iPad Mini and iPad 4

I ordered this case along with the RooCase Dual Station Folio because they were offered for a very nice promotional price. I think I like this case better because it is slimmer and has a curved piece at the edge of the case that snaps it closed quite securely. I haven't had a chance to use it much, since I just received it today, but the strap to slip your hand through while folded back is one of the nicest features I have seen in an iPad case, and definitely better than folding a Smart Cover into a triangle to grab a secure hold like I do with my full size iPad. The case holds the mini securely and then releases two corners to stand in the multiple viewing angles. When I ordered my RooCase it was advertised as having the sleep/wake functionality, and while the case I received does not support this feature, I was sent an email from PC Micro Store even before my case arrived to inform me that the issue was known and a replacement would be sent to me without any further action needed on my part. That was wonderful customer service, it is not often that I experience such proactive communication from a vendor.

Great case. It is soft material over a hard shell. My iPad Mini locks in snuggly. It doesn't obstruct any of the ports. I feel like it gives great protection without adding a lot of heft. It has the ability to stand on its own in the horizontal position for movie watching. I love the strap for holding with one hand too. Craftsmanship is good. I recommend.

I hope all those that bought the new iPad mini are enjoying it just as much as I am. This is my first tablet ever and I must say that it has been perfect for my needs, I am very pleased that Apple came out with this form factor. I am not here to talk about the iPad mini, rather I am going to give my thoughts on the case that I bought for it. Accessories are almost always a must when it comes to new devices, but you do not know always what to pick.

I found the rooCase Slim-Fit Folio Case Cover through Amazon.com and have been using it now for the past couple days. I must say for the price that I paid, I am very thrilled at the product I have received.

Now, I will say this case advertises a Sleep/Wake function, however I received an email stating the manufacturer knew it was defective and would be shipping out a new version very soon to me at no extra cost. At this point I cannot comment on that feature, but I will let you know when the new case arrives.

I love the slim factor of the case, it really adds very minimal bulk while adequately protecting the iPad. In my eyes it adds the right amount of bulk needed. One thing I will note as well is that the sleep/wake button is a *touch* hard to press, the one flap covers it every so slightly, but it is not a huge issue.

I was concerned about how well the iPad would retain in the case. I must say I was pleased to see that it was very secure in the case. I suspended it in the air over my bed, shook it around and it remained firmly in place.

The case allows you to view your iPad mini at 3 different viewing angles. I find the 2nd and 3rd angles to be the best myself.

Honestly, for as little as this case costs ($6.98 with shipping) I was not expecting a whole lot. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well made the case was and how well it does securing my iPad mini in place. It has a soft lining on the inside to protect the screen and back and all ports/buttons are easily accessible (with the minor, minor exception to the sleep/wake button).

For under $10, you are getting a solid on the go case, that even has a hand strap so you can hold on to the case. I am extremely pleased and hope you find this review helpful as you possibly pick out a case for your new Mini!

Unlike other reviewers, I have not received an e-mail offering a complimentary replacement as my early version does not have the sleep/wake function.

I also wish there was an elastic band to hold the lid folded back. Otherwise, this is a decent case overall.

Edit: As other early purchasers, I was offered a revised version of this case when it is released. However, since the seller has found out that the sleep/wake function is not available on the current version being sold, it is not being advertised with the sleep/wake function. So be aware of what you are buying and wait about 2 weeks from this review to purchase if sleep/wake is important to you. Otherwise, it is still a great case at an excellent price.

Case doesn't "lock" to front flap when using hand strap which makes it uncomfortable to use one handed when laying in bed. The flap with the iPad keeps falling due to gravity. Will try to post pic to demonstrate. Very annoying!!
