Considerations before purchasing an iPad Mini (2024) case


The first thing to consider is whether you need one. If you are upgrading from an iPad Mini 6 to the new 2024 model (known as the iPad Mini 7 or the Mini A17 Pro due to the chip upgrade), your existing case will fit your new device. If you’re buying your first iPad Mini or have a model older than the 6th generation, you’ll need a case designed for the Mini-6 or Mini 7, because they have the same dimensions, despite there being other differences.


Then you will the level of protection must be taken into accountthe main reason to buy a protective case. If you tend to drop your devices, consider a rugged case. If it doesn’t have a screen protector, you can buy one separately. However, make sure the case has slightly raised edges to protect the screen and camera when you place (or drop) your iPad face down. Corner protection adds another layer, and if you need it, a waterproof and dustproof IP rating (minimum IP67) is a bonus.


If you’re an artist or note-taker, you’ll be happy if your new case has a storage compartment for your Apple Pencil. Charging compatibility is another bonus. Other things to look out for are access to ports and buttons, although most reputable case manufacturers like those mentioned above will undoubtedly have these. If you type a lot, you’ll benefit from an adjustable stand with multiple viewing angles and a keyboard if you don’t already have one.


Design is also essential for many iPad users. After all, we want our new purchase to look good. However, think twice before putting design over build quality. The case is there to protect, so make sure that it consists of materials such as polycarbonate, TPUand PU leather or combinations thereof. Genuine leather also provides good protection, but can be heavy and require maintenance. Reliable brands like Otterbox and Spigen have been making excellent cases for years, and these are the cases you can trust.
