Best iPad mini cases 2022: Protect a 7.9-inch Apple tablet

(Pocket-lint) – Apple’s iPad mini is an enduringly popular device – its small size is perfect for many people, and the 2019 version of the tablet is one of our favourites. It starts at GBP399 or £399 and it is the smallest tablet in the iPad portfolio with its 7.9-inch display, which is the same as all of the models of iPad mini that have gone before it.  The older models are no longer available through Apple itself but you might be able to find them on other retailers for a little cheaper than the iPad mini 2019 if your budget doesn’t quite stretch to that GBP400-mark. This feature is all about protecting your iPad mini, no matter what model you have or plan to buy.

The iPad mini has had some subtle design changes over the years, so cases for older models won’t be compatible, but some that were for the previous version should fit. Still, it’s always worth double-checking that you’re buying a case to fit your model before you proceed with your purchase.
