Suggestions for quality leather case for iPad mini used as e-reader
 

American Express recently sent me a branded iPad mini as a gift. I initially didn't think I had any use for it. Between a MacBook Pro and an iPad Pro I thought I'd give hot to one of the kids. But I recently became a convert to using the iPad as an e-reader, and the Pro is a little too large and awkward to hold comfortably. The iPad mini turned out to be lightweight and ideal for this.

Now I need a nice case to go with it. I want something that covers the back and front, and I don't care for the Z-folding Apple cases/covers. I don't want something big and butch like an Otterbox. Ideally I'd like a smart leather holder, but I want it to fit snugly in. I don't like those designs that have the diagonal elastics at the corner. Ideally it would open as a portrait-oriented 'book'. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't want a flashy LV case, nor do I want to pay $400 for it.

Sorry for not answering exactly on target, but I use this case which is among the thinnest and looks fine to me. It’s a sort of fake pleather on the front and plastic on the back, but it’s very thin and light.

Thanks, the price certainly seems right.

Search Amazon for "ipad mini sleeve".

Arrived today. Great value cover. Thanks.
