Worked Perfectly Right out of the Box
September 14, 2017
This is an amazingly perfect fit for my iPad Mini. I was worried because there seem to be so many variations of models and styles out there, but my concern was for nothing. The iPad slipped right into place and I feel it is very well protected now. The back is very rigid and sturdy. The soft cover uses a feature built into the iPad that automatically wakes it up and puts it to sleep when opened or closed. Nice feature, although it does slightly shorten the batter life if you do not completely shut down the device between uses. Most people don't. The front cover also doubles as a prop-up stand for the iPad. All in all I'm very happy with this product and highly recommend it.
It's a Go!
October 30, 2016
I was unsure about this case when it arrived as it wasn't like my husband's case. Once I put my iPad in it though, it was great, I loved it. It's so easy to open/close the cover, it folds easily out of the way & holds closed nicely. I'm sure it would be smooth sailing when needing to put it in my purse or tuck in anywhere. I got the blue so this small thing is easy to fine, my husband is often losing site of his mini in its black case. All around, this case does the trick of protecting the iPad well but also being super easy to use and seems quality enough for the job.Update: I've had this great case for a while now & I am still really happy with it. I open it the same way each time, the case shows no signs of wear at all. Nothing fraying or coming apart. It holds up well & I'm so glad I chose this one.
Not leather, but overall better!
July 3, 2014
I bought this case to replace my Apple case of the same basic design. I am absolutely delighted with this new case! My iPad mini Retina was literally falling out of the Apple case since the leather loosened over time. The Khomo case snaps over the edges of the iPad and holds it securely, while the apple case had relied on the corners holding it. The fit is tight and absolutely perfect. I really like the hinge design. The apple case had a pinched leather hinge which always poked my hand and never let the cover lay flat when closed. This hinge wraps around the side and looks, feels, and works much better than the Apple case's. Even without the extra magnet the apple case has to "hold" the cover in a triangle position for standing it up, this cover works better and stays up with no issues due to the hinge center being much further back. Overall a great purchase and highly recommended.
Best bang for the buck!
February 10, 2014
I have an iPad Mini Retina and this fits like a glove. I'm very surprised at the quality considering the cost factor involved, cannot be more happy. I've only had a few days so we'll see how it holds up but so far so good. All the ports are accessible and I particularly like the faux carbon finish I purchased. For $16 shipped you can't beat this case.
An Excellent Alternative to Apple's Smart Cover
January 7, 2013
Searching out mini covers, for me it came down to the Poetic Slim Line and the KHOMO Super Slim. They're both basically the same design, but I ordered the Poetic first, as it had a Green color that I liked. I ended up returning it because the Poetic came with a funky rotten fish like smell to it, that even after letting it air out for a couple of days, it didn't go away. So I ordered the KHOMO and have been very pleased with it.I like that the KHOMO cover goes all the way around, protecting both the front and back of the mini. Apple apparently doesn't have a companion case available for the mini to go with their Smart Cover. But that's what I love about this case, is that the front and back are attached so the Smart Cover doesn't come off. My hubby had an Apple Smart Cover on his iPad 2, and while they're nice, in less than a year he had trouble with it falling off...almost like the magnetic connector was losing some of it's magnetism.The case fits nice and snug on the mini.All the cut outs for the buttons, charge port, speakers, camera and mic are nicely cut out and have plenty of room. They don't cover anything or make it hard to get to or use.The Smart Cover is stiff, of course being new, but it only took about one week of daily use to get it broken in. At first, there was a gap between the cover and the screen (on the left side closer to where the cover attaches to the back case) when the cover was closed and it concerned me a bit, but I've been using this case for about 3 weeks now and that gap is starting to go away. I folded and squished that piece between the cover and the back case a bunch and it's helped to eliminate that little gap.The triangle fold works great! I haven't had any problems with the triangle fold or standing the mini up on the triangle. The mini sits back on just enough of an angle that there's no worry about it falling over.The wake/sleep function also works great! No problems there either.The case itself doesn't seem to add a lot of weight to the mini either. At least not that I have noticed.It would be nice if there could be a few more color choices available for this case. I didn't want just black and I didn't like the light blue, so it came down to the orange or purple. I chose purple. I've noticed that they've added pink since I ordered my case, so I'm a little hopeful that maybe they'll get a few more colors in. I would not hesitate to buy another cover if they do. A green or a different shade of blue would be nice.Ofher than that, I really don't have anything negative to say about this case. I love my KHOMO CASE!! It's a great alternative to Apple's Smart Cover! Apple wants $39 for just a Smart Cover, and with this case you get full coverage for your mini with a cover that functions exactly as Apple's does and for 1/3 the cost of Apple's cover!I highly recommend this case! :)
Underrated
January 3, 2013
I'm extremely picky when it comes to cases and screen protectors for my electronic devices and so I devote an ample amount of time debating between different products. I am a college student who'll be using the iPad on a daily basis so I wanted something that was lightweight and durable. I usually am one to follow to flock so I tend to go with the most highly rated product there is. There were only 5 reviews (this being the 6th) when I purchased this product, but despite such little feedback, I decided to go and gamble my $12.99. If you're looking for a case that covers BOTH the front and the back of your iPad Mini, is consistent in coloring (meaning the case that holds the back is the same as the flap that covers the front - NOT black or white), adds absolutely no bulk to the streamlined device, holds it well, sleeps/wakes your iPad for you, and has the most precise holes for the speakers, volume dock, camera, etc. then look no further because this product is for you. Apple has yet to come out with a smart case for the iPad Mini but you can get the same function and security for a lot less. Although it took a while for it to get shipped (I didn't realize it was out of stock when I made the purchase), I am very satisfied with this product and I believe that this is definitely worth people's money.

Good quality, great price

I knew the price was good but the quality of the case considering the cost surprised me. The print is well done and the fit is excellent. Overall i would definitely buy another one when needed.
some problem with left plastic over access hole. needs a whole hole

many stars for beauty...trouble getting a screen shot...hole is not cut out...my son used a blade ....I still didn't find it on left side a lot...
Love my marshmallow case
January 12, 2017
Beautiful, sturdy, and lightweight case. I love the vibrant colors and it fits my ipad mini 2 perfectly...it has 3 credit card slots and 1 long slot for whatever. The magnet clip is strong so you don't have to worry about it not being able to hold the cover down and the cutouts are in the correct spots for the volume buttons, headphone jack etc... when i get bored of this case I will surely be back to buy another style. I totally recommend.

Nicely made-good protection. Colors duller than picture
August 17, 2015
I just received this today when I had been expecting to get it about a week from now. It came very quickly. I bought my first iPad case from Best Buy, the brand is Modal. I'll just say I paid way too much for a case that is already close to falling apart and hardly protected my iPad at all. This has a leather-type of exterior that is hard and protects the iPad really well. It came with a charm type thing and a black stylus. The only thing that is off, or wrong, is the color scheme. It looks duller and not at bright as in the picture. It's not a big deal for me but it is quite the difference and if you like really bright colors this probably isn't the best case for you. Very nice case overall!

Pretty good case so far
May 21, 2017
I just received this case today, and am pretty happy with it. It is not as versatile as the 3-year-old, raggedy Moshi VersaCover case it is replacing, but since I can no longer get that case for my iPad mini 2, this is a decent replacement.I have three issues with this case so far: the first is that it is actually fairly difficult to figure out how to access the two different angles provided by the case. There are no instructions, and the pictures provided here and on the Khomo website were not sufficient to help me figure things out. For anyone else struggling with the same issue, basically you can fold the cover so that the insides show, or so that the outside material shows. These two folding options provide the two angles.Another complaint I have is that there is no option to use the stand and have the power charging slot facing to the left. All of my charging stations are located to my left, so that I can use my right hand and not get tangled up with the power cord. I won't be able to do that with this case when it is propped up using the case as a stand.I also would dearly love the option of propping the case in portrait configuration. I know it is top heavy, and so not as secure, but there were definitely times when it was the best option for me, and I miss having that capability.Otherwise, however, the iPad fits in the case securely, the magnets seem to work well for propping, and for turning the iPad off, and the case is light and flexible, making it more comfortable in my hand, and less weighty in my purse. I am also pleased that the color is darker than it appeared in the pictures. IRL, the twill green color is a much darker and richer green than it looks in the picture. I would describe it as a slightly dark emerald green.
Nice look; build quality a bit subpar
April 19, 2017
3.5 stars for build quality; the front cover started to fray on the bottom after a few weeks from careful use (see photo #1). The front cover does not stay put firmly as the Apple case or my previous case (Invelop pseudo-leather case). What I mean is that The front cover slides up and down easily maybe an 1/8 of an inch noticeably on the corners (see photo #2). It doesn't feel and look like this case will last. I guess you get what you pay for... please message me several months down the road from today's date, April 19, 2017, and ask me then how my case is holding up...
Recommended cover for iPad Mini 2
October 17, 2016
I usually look for bargain cases but after buying a cheapo case on eBay I decided to do some more research and get something that would really do the job. I wasn't disappointed with this case - the iPad snaps in perfect....almost too perfectly....it's not easy to get it out. The cover does exactly what it's supposed to and turns the iPad on and off as it should which is exactly what I wanted. The feel of the back cover has a rubberized feel which is nice in the hand but it is made of hard plastic and not tpu. The whole iPad feels very well protected. All cutouts are perfectly aligned to their respective ports, buttons and speakers. I'm just a little nervous how well this will hold up - I can imagine he rubberized finish wearing down...in which case I'll update my review accordingly! For now though, recommended.
Decent choice for ipad case
October 22, 2014
Now, I am the guy who does not care about case price. I am willing to pay more if the case deserve more.but I am very PICKY when I choose case. Note I will not say this is the perfect case ever. It has some drawbacks. but they are minor enough I can recommend this case.Pros- Significantly cheaper than case from Apple themselvesApple's leather case is nice, but always overpriced. If you are considering alternative case, this is one of the best one out there.- It firmly holds case.This case hold ipad very fimly. Your ipad mini 2(or 3) would not come out from case easily, unless you intentionally take it out.It's mainly because it is holding edge and it is solid. Even when you compared to Apple smart case with original condition, Khomo case hold your ipad way more stronger than Apple smart case doesNote Apple smart case has some kinds of weird inside material that works as backbone, and it is easly breakable when there is no ipad inside of case. Though if you put ipad inside of case, your ipad works as another backbone of smartcase and it won't easily break(LOL, ipad is protecting case, instead of case is protecting ipad!). However, once you break that backbone part of smartcase, which has durability of cardboard paper level, Apple smart case became one of worst cases ever. Your ipad keeps slipping out from inside of case.- It holds most of edge, too.Many of 3rd part ipad air or ipad mini cover will not cover the whole edge of ipad. It is fairly important issue, because you can easily make some tiny dents on diamond cut edge. Diamond cut edge is one of the weakest portions in terms of dent. Though one of edges, where the cover located, is not covered by case. And I have one tiny dent on my ipad mini because of that. Still, it is better than most other cases in the market. Apple smartcase is only case-I see-that covers all edges properly.- It does have big enough cut hole for 3.5mm, and it does not have any cover on button.When I put headphone with a bit large 3.5mm connector, it does not go into holes of many cases. This case does not have. How about Apple smart case? Their old smartcase for ipad 4th gen or below allow me to put connector in, but not any more with thinner ipad with thinner case without extra space for larger hole. Though smart case is soft case, so I can cram in connector.Another good thing about using 3rd party case is button. Apple's smartcase covers the buttons of ipad, and it kills clicky feeling of ipad, which is really nice feeling for feedback. I personally prefer to see holes for button, so that I do not have to deal that weird feeling.Cons- Just like all the other 3rd party case, its cover does not hold triangle shape for its own.When you fold your cover into triangle shape, every 3rd party ipad mini case will not hold triangle shape. Only Apple's genuine case or cover will do this. Still, your 3rd party stand will do the job when you use your cover as a stand, but it does not feel as firm.(This is reason I love to see old-fashion 4-type fold stand. It gives wayyy more stability)- It adds decent thickness and a bit of weight.Now, I am not talking my ipad mini retina became huge after using this case, but I can clearly feels it adds more thickness than Apple's case, and it is significant enough to mention since original ipad mini retina's thickness is so small. You do not feel than thin ipad mini after adding this. Same for weight, too.- Its cover portion is too stiff at first, and after long tern usage it became flippery.When you first use this case, you feels this case-cover is stiff as hell. It really tends to go back to original flat shape.After using for months, it became fairly flippery. Though Apple's smart case is slippery too. Also note the stiffness of cover part is different if you buy carbon fiber version of case.Overall, it is nice case. Probably one of the best cases on the market, unless you want something leather or case with keyboard, etc. Though it is not perfect case, there is no perfect case. I prefer this over smart case because of soild material with firm hold. It feels safer. I can definitely recommend this case with this price unless if you want the perfection.Side note : My personal biggest complain about this is that no manufacturer produces old style 4-way folding cover; I tend to love it because I often use triangle fold part as a handle of my ipad.
So keep that in mind when buying a product like this one
July 2, 2014
I bought this because it's described as rubberized. I was expecting it to be a no slip surface. It is far from that, it's rather slick in fact.The only redemption was the fuzzy grey material that sits against the glass is absolutely not slippery. So when I open it, my hand is actually on this surface and the tablet doesn't slide around at all. The down side is this surface picks up oils from your hand and then leaves tracks on your screen. My screen protector does nothing to help here, it shows everything. So keep that in mind when buying a product like this one.I noted some reviews that complained of a fishy odor, this worried me a bit. So I checked that first. Even pressed to my nose there is virtually no smell. If anything it has only a faint chemical smell.This thing shows fingerprints like crazy, it's a very odd surface. It has grown on me a bit since I purchased it. Mine is black, perhaps other colors would not be so apparent.Functionally speaking it is perfect. It fit well and the on off feature works as expected. All of my buttons are easy to get to and the camera has decent clearance around it. It's slim and adds little mass to the overall product. I am quite happy overall.I knocked off one star because of the serious fingerprint problems that I have encountered. It may be that there isn't a case on the market that would make me happy. So take my review for what it is, just one mans opinion.
Great looking and protective, with one minor issue
December 12, 2013
If you have an iPad Mini, buy yourself a Khomo cover - it'll take care of you and yours. The rubberized cover feels just the right amount of 'grippy' in your hand. I no longer fear that sleek little device flying out of my grip. And the cover adds only minimal thickness all around, so it doesn't feel bulky at all. The only downside I can think of with this cover is that when you stand the tablet up on its long edge (by folding the magnetic cover in on itself to form a triangular support), the setup feels just a tad wobbly. The reason this happens is that my version of the cover is segmented into four flaps, which results in a triangular support with a slightly narrower base, than if you had a 3-flap Khomo which segments into wider flaps (a friend uses one of those for her iPad mini). Definitely not a deal-breaker, but something to consider if you're going to stand up the tablet a whole lot on surfaces where it may get tipped over or nudged pretty often.Pros:+ Rubberized feel reduces slippage as you handle and carry this around+ Screen cover magnet attaches gently but firmly+ That soft, bright orange hue is fantasticCons:- 4-flap cover makes for a narrower (and hence slightly less stable) stand than 3-flap covers

This iPad case is great! The only reason I took off one a star is because my son just wishes it had a little flap or button to close the cover flap! Other than that, very good case. Looks very cool, like the art and graphics on the case.

Don't expect leather...
March 15, 2016
This particular floral pattern is an old favorite of my wife, so we were very pleased to see it as one of the choices. The description says the case is made of "PU leather"; the case appears to be made of (and strongly smells of) plastic, through and through. So I am not sure what is going on, but I am giving fair warning: don't expect a leather case.The sellers return address is from a city in the PRC called ZhengZhou, which somewhat explains why the delivery estimate is so long. The customs declared value of the product is set at 2 USD, which is probably right. We were happily surprised to receive ours in about 3 weeks.The color is subdued, the fit is excellent. All ports and function keys line up correctly, but the 'stand' will eventually let the case fall flat, because the edge has nothing but a smooth plastic surface to prevent it from sliding closed. The little green stylus helps keep the fingerprints at bay.Nonetheless, for the money spent and time waited, it is a very nice product.

great while it lasts, but cracked annoyingly and disappointly quickly
August 1, 2017
I had one for 2 yrs and it finally cracked, so I got a replacement. That one cracked after a few months (after the arduous wear and tear of being carried around in a purse), and now another side is cracked, leaving the prospect of a nice sharp shard cutting into my hand each time I use it. I don't know if it's more brittle or what, but it's a pain. Otherwise, it was great pre-crack - closed snugly, protected the sides. I'm probably going to just replace it with another one like it because I don't have time to deal with reading reviews, but ARGH. MAKE THIS LESS BRITTLE, PLEASE!!
Just Ok
August 20, 2016
I bought this case to replace a heavy Otterbox case. It's slim and much lighter. I like the look and feel of it. This case fits fine and offers decent protection. I did not keep it long enough to see it in action against a serious drop. It's just a little flimsy.The fold over to prop it up does not stay folded and it can only stay folded at all on a hard surface. No luck keeping it up on a bed.For a few pennies more you can find a better cover on Amazon. I'm returning mine because I did just that.
Nice case, but...
July 13, 2016
This case works really well, I especially like that when the cover is opened my iPad turns on. It is also nice to have so my iPad doesn't get scratched up when transporting or even just at home. However, my one complaint for the product is that when I received the case it smelled like fish...it has been months since I got it and when I open up my cover it still has that awful smell. For the cost of the case and the quality, I still really like it and will continue to use it.UPDATE: Over a year later and I am still using this case. It still fits my iPad well, but the fish smell hasn't gone away (I took away one star because of this)!
How is this not mentioned anywhere?
October 29, 2015
When I first opened it up, I thought this was a really well made case for the price. Slap it on and it was like a dream. Fit like no third party case should have. Smart cover works just as well as the first party product. Feels a bit lighter and cheaper, but that's not a problem. It works when I close it. When I'm using the iPad, I open the cover all the way and lay the cover against the back so that it's all the same size again. No triangle prop up when I'm carrying it around because that would be too cumbersome with the cover dangling there. This is where something off happened.When using it like described of carrying it around, I would notice the screen would shut off randomly. I was thinking, "That's strange", and re-unlock by waking it up and sliding to unlock. I thought it was the new iOS that was messing it up and thought it was rather annoying, but I realized it was only when the cover was against the back. I guess the magnet on the cover is strong enough to think the cover is trying to close it even when it is against the back so while you're just using it the screen would just shut off thinking you closed the smart cover. How did no one say this? This is such an annoying thing that happens. This is the one big draw back from me for this item. This will protect your iPad from a fall and unlock it when you open it, but it will lock it when you're just using it walking around. Maybe it only bothers me the most, but it is a huge issue for me.
Solid Case but Stand Functionality is Poor
September 29, 2015
I've had this case for probably 1 year now and overall it's a good case. It functions fine as protection for the screen and puts the device to sleep when closed.The problem I have with this case is that the cover doesn't work well as a stand. I've tried all the different angles and nothing seems to work that well. In the end the flap seems to cave and you lose the position that you wanted.The case is well made and sturdy, no issues there. If you won't be using it as a stand then you will be happy. I like the look and the feel of this case. It's hard material but a soft brushed feel. The price is good too.I'm knocking 2 stars for the stand performance as I wanted an all in one but it might be asking to much at this price point.
Nice looking case that is not very durable.
August 24, 2015
I was the very lucky winner of an iPad mini 2 as a result of a quiz that I took at my job that entered me into a drawing, in which my name was drawn. I decided on this case for it based on having 10,700+ reviews and averaging 4.6 out of 5 stars. It came today and I can definitely see why the reviews are so high. For like 20 bucks including tax and shipping, this is an excellent case. The materials are very nice and premium feeling. The ipad fits perfectly and snugly in the case. The sleep/wake feature works wonderfully and there are also a lot more color options than there are with the Apple cases. I like this case better than the Apple smart case that I had on my iPad 2 (which I also won, and gave to my mom after winning the iPad mini), which I paid like 50 bucks for. Even the smart cases for the iPad mini are like 10 bucks more than this one, and I think this one is a better case. If you are looking for a case for your iPad mini, this is the case for you.*UPDATE*Unfortunately, after only a couple months of use, this case has cracked in two places at the bottom, where the speaker and charging port openings are, and cracked in two places up by the headphone jack. In fact, the whole corner by the headphone jack opening is about to come off. This is very disappointing for me, because I love the way this case looks and feels in the hand. I have not been rough on it whatsoever. The most I have done is to take the iPad out of the case a couple times to clean dust and stuff off. Since this has happend, I am taking two stars off of my review. I have ordered a Jetech case. Hopefully it won't break so easily.

Love Case but Disappointed Did Not Receive All Items Promised
March 21, 2017
I'm a little disappointed. I ordered this case because it was supposed to come with a loop to hold the stylus and cloths to clean the screen. Neither of these items were included in the package. There was no paperwork in the package.
A few tiny flaws but overall I'm happy with it.
January 5, 2017
The skull and flower graphics look exactly like it's shown in the picture; very vibrant and pretty! However, the photo showed that there was a loop for the stylus pen but mine doesn't have one. Also, the tab to latch the cover shut is a little off. It is at an angle. I chalk that up to poor magnet placement. When I have it in portrait mode the tab is just kind of in limbo in the air and can fall in front of the screen. If I'm watching a movie I just hook the stylus on that tab and it holds it behind it and out of the way. The sleep/wake function isn't triggered by closing/opening the cover but having to push the home button doesn't bother me. Other than those tiny issues, I am satisfied with the case. I just feel better having my iPad in a case, especially since I take it out of the house and shove it in my purse. I feel better knowing that something in my purse isn't going to scratch it and I can be a little clumsy sometimes too! I shook the iPad after locking it in the grooves and it didn't budge. I feel like my iPad is secure and the camera lens matches up perfectly which I noticed some people having an issue with. Overall, I think it's really pretty and protects my iPad which is really all I was looking for.

Came packaged well. The case is super cute. The one thing I wish was different is that it doesn't stay closed so I have to either turn my iPad off or set it upside down!

Disappointing newer version
July 10, 2017
I had my old black khomo case for 2.5 years until it finally started cracking on the bottom. I replaced it with this edition in white and was immediately disappointed with two features:1- The bottom is now slick plastic. The older version was rubber like, that gained traction so if you grabbed your device it didn't immediately slip out of your hands.2. The top doesn't lay flat (see pic). Not sure if they took away the magnetic strip that used to be there but now I'm afraid gunk and dirt can get on my screen much faster.Overall, this updated product feels much cheaper. If you're looking to replace an older model, I would encourage you to do your research before you impulse buy again.
Not a good fit for the iPad 2 mini.

The case looks and feels fine, but it doesn't fit the Mini 2 iPad.The hing side sticks up too far for the iPad to snap in like it should on that side.If you want to use the earphone jack, which I do, you have to push that side down hard to get the jack in. It's almost like you are bending the iPad to get it in.I don't know if I just got a bad one or the case was not really meant for the iPad mini 2.Will have to check to see. If it's the case design, I will be sending it back.Am attaching a picture.
Weak magnets
March 8, 2016
WAY too tight a fit (I thought I was going to have to break the case to liberate my iPad!) and the magnets are weaksauce, letting the lid flap open and shut while I was carrying the iPad. I don't expect anything like those neodymium magnets you see on YouTube, but a LITTLE grip would be nice. The carbon fibre looks pretty sweet tho, gotta admit. The back was nicely grippy, too.
Nice case, but the cover is very cheap!!!
March 5, 2015
I was really excited for this product by all the high ratings but it did not live up to the hype. The case itself is pretty solid while the cover feels very cheap. My iPad fit well and there was no issue of it falling out of the case. The issue I had was the magnet and the cheapness/ stiffness of the cover. The smart cover has the magnet that allows the iPad to turn itself on out of sleep mode when opened and then fold upon itself and latch into itself to form a stand to watch movies, etc. My cover was very stiff and the magnet was not strong enough to compensate. After trying to loosen up the cheap cover material to no avail I just wound up returning it to amazon.Even with my bad experience, the case still worked well with all functions besides the cover stand. Maybe I got a dud or something.

December 18, 2014
I ordered 2 iPad cases at the same time for different iPads, the Khomo and the ESR Yippee. I was disappointed in the Khomo because the inside lining on the cover is chipped on an upper corner. It looks to be a defect caused during manufacturing, like the pattern cutter was dull. I like the back hard case of the Khomo because it's a bit more rubbery than the ESR, seems like it would add more protection. The magnet works well on both covers but the Khomo has a slight gap when closed, doesn't fit quite as well as the ESR. I would send this back but really need the cover now. I wouldn't recommend this due to the defects and fit.
I really, really wanted to like this case
October 9, 2014
I'm not sure why this case has gotten so many 5 star reviews. KHOMO's quality standards and/or QA process must have taken a nosedive as of late.The material quality of this case is great. It feels good to the touch and is dense enough to take a bit of a beating within one's backpack. The multi-angle stand works well enough. The headphone jack is a little unforgiving; If you use headphones with a particularly wide plug base you might be out of luck with this case, as it only accommodates a narrow range. My default iPhone headphones and my L-shaped Bose QC20i headphones work with this, but my Grados and Sony DJ headphones do not.My real problem is that this case promises Sleep/Wake functionality, and it does not deliver. When I close my case, the screen stays on, which is inexcusable. Futhermore, when I open the case fully so that the cover flaps around the back, it has absolutely zero magnetic hold.I assumed my case was defective and so ordered a replacement from Amazon, only to have the same problems. I'm going to pony up to buy a more premium, name brand case that lives up to it's billing.

Not my favorite cover. On the plus side
April 18, 2017
Hole for charger either not big enough or improperly positioned, makes it difficult to fully insert charging cable without taking part of the ipad out of the case. Stands awkwardly, and can't fold back cover when taking photos. Not my favorite cover. On the plus side, it's pretty!
Beautiful case! I wish it fit!
April 5, 2017
I just received my new case today. I was excited to get it for my iPad mini..it matches my iPhone 7 plus case and I love it. Unfortunately the mini case does not fit. It had a tight fit which was fine but the holes were off on the column side which made the volume graphic stayed on. Also,the picture hole covered part of the lens. I am so disappointed.....

The leather part of the case is nice however the plastic covering for the charge port does not allow the charger to fit so I had to remove that part in order to charge the phone. They could have done a better job opening the case so that the charger can fit.

Looks good but but after 2 months it has cracks all over (where it folds ). Also paint is wearing off on the borders along the edges. Now I will be ordering a different one.
Cut out for camera does not match iPad mini
November 3, 2016
i like the design however the cut out for the camera didn't match the iPad. Alsot was a struggle to fit the iPad mini it it, its too tight. The cover itself is cardboard wrapped in vinyl which I expected. I Ill return it bacause I cannot use my camera
• lightweight and thin • sturdy material the cons
September 11, 2016
For the price of less than $10, this case is decent.the pros:• the pattern comes exactly as shown.• lightweight and thin• sturdy materialthe cons:• if you were to put your iPad on its side, let's say on a desk to watch videos, the rubber holding the iPad slides right against the "leather" (more like plastic) case, causing it to not stand. kinda useless, I would've bought an open case if I knew this wasn't going to stand up.• shown in pictures: sometimes the magnetic mechanism for locking your iPad doesn't work. the top fold of the case must not be heavy enough, idk, but it doesn't stay against the front of the iPad very well. the slightest movement will unlock the iPad, even if it's in a bag. I've tried laying it flat, upside down, smushed between some things, and it seems to kill my battery because it just does not cooperate. if I could remove that part, it would be better. I'd rather unlock it myself than kill the battery and hear constant clicking of the lock while sitting in my bag.• I had a screen protector on my iPad and it was the one that's not quite the thick glass, but not paper thin either. the rubber case was too harsh and kept peeling my screen protector off. I had to use a lighter to slightly melt the inside edges of the rubber case to prevent it from peeling the protector off. after that, it worked fine.overall, I wouldn't purchase this again. I love this pattern, but it was too much hassle. spend the extra money for one that stays shut, doesn't kill your battery because of it, doesn't peel off your screen protector, and actually has the use of standing up the iPad itself to watch videos or read hands free on a desk (unless you like rigging things with double sided tape)

Don't buy if you want to use your headphones with the case!!
July 21, 2016
I bought it for iPad Mini 3 (Model 1600), and while the product is of good quality, the headphone socket is no longer accessible once the cover is on the ipad, the hole seems to be slightly misaligned. Don't buy if you have any intention of using the headphone socket, you may discover that your headphones are unusable. Never had this problem before with other covers, so can't blame the headphones for this issue.
You can't plug in anything once the cover is on.
August 31, 2015
I have had a few different cases for the iPad and iPad mini over the years, but this is the worst one that I've come across. It is cheaply made and does not feel great to the touch, but given the price, it is acceptable (but there are others that don't feel as bad). My biggest issue is that once the cover was put on my iPad mini, I couldn't plug anything in!!! The plastic cover surrounding the precious few inputs on the iPad (lightning connector and headphone) block many connectors from making enough contact with the device. The manufacturer designed the cover to create small openings just around the camera, speaker, power button, volume, speaker, and dock. These are very form fitting and looked nice at first, but really limit what you can do or plug in to the device. The camera connection kit did not plug in. My adapter for 30 pin to lightning did not fit. Even my headphone plug did not fit inside the space allocated in the case. Basically I would have to take the iPad out of the case in order to plug in headphones or anything other than a straight lightning cable. I am not sure who actually uses this or how it has 10,000+ reviews that are generally positive? I would avoid this.
Fingerprint/residue magnet, but the magnet itself won't keep it closed.
March 14, 2015
Was really hopeful about this one. From the description it seemed great, the reviews even seemed good, but they must have not been for this specific one (black). It's a fingerprint magnet. It gets residue on it every time you touch it, even if you go to great lengths to make sure you have no oil/chemicals on your hands. It's impossible to clean. Once the residue is on there, it's going to have that shiny fingerprint for good. Magnet also doesn't hold it closed if you invert it or carry it on it's side.It's good if you plan to leave it flat, face up, and don't care about it looking filthy. Fingerprints happen, but whatever material it's made from.. It shouldn't have been. Because as I said, you can't clean it at all. Maybe other colors are better at hiding it, but avoid black. Very disappointed
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS!!!
December 11, 2014
This was the most useless piece of crap I have ever purchased online, and I have made plenty of online purchases! It was a waste of money for 2 reasons: the thing does NOT stand or prop up at all, on either of the folds, and it does not have a strap to hold the top flap in place, so when you want the top flap to close, you have to hold it in place in the back. The other nuisance with that is if you drop the iPad, since the top flap isn't secure, the iPad will crack. I am really disappointed with this purchase. I have no idea how this useless garbage got so many positive reviews on here.
Poor quality and functionality
August 15, 2014
This case looks great, but it's cheap, flimsy, and unsafe. The flap is really thin and the back cover doesn't fully wrap around the bezel of the iPad. I dropped my iPad and the case immediately released it, which caused serious damage to the bezel. My previous case was cheaper and much better at protecting against drops. Furthermore, this case doesn't have anything that keeps the iPad in a permanent upright landscape position. When viewing videos or browsing the internet, I constantly have to re-adjust the stand because the case keeps slipping.
Case not good quality and doesn't hold up to time
February 15, 2013
The case looked nice and functioned as expected for a time. Now, after 7 weeks of use, the case is falling apart at the seam; same as reported by another user.

July 23, 2017
Disappointing! Unlike the Apple original covers, the IPad does not turn off automatically when you shut this cover. As a result the battery drains. You have to shut your IPad off manually each time to you close the cover. Also the edges are already unraveling.

No Cut Outs...Just Stencils
November 13, 2016
It's poorly made junk! The open holes for the camera, volume and power on/off switch weren't cut out, ugh. It wasn't worth me sending it back after I tore one side trying to cut out holes so I just dumped it and took the loss. I'll never buy from KingCool again!
I don't like the way the iPad fits into it
July 29, 2016
This case, in my opinion, is rather cheap and flimsy in appearance. I don't like the way the iPad fits into it. The blue plastic that the iPad secures into actually sticks out beyond the cover when you close it. Really not thrilled with the way that looks. Looks cute online but was disappointed with the real deal.
It's way too bulky and I just don't like it one bit
May 28, 2016
Bulky, cheap and doesn't hold up well. This case got a weird crease in it after very little use. It's way too bulky and I just don't like it one bit. The only exception is the pattern which I think is cute. However, I'll be purchasing a different case in the very near future.
