iPad Mini 5 Case, iPad Mini 4 Case with Pen Holder/360 Degree Swivel Stand/Hand Strap& Shoulder Strap, Three Layer Drop Protection Rugged Protective Heavy Duty Tablet Case for iPad Mini 5/4 7.9" 2019

This is just OK, not great - I'm a bit suspect about every review (other than mine) being 5 stars.First, the good: Product is pretty much as described, and generally functional. It does have a decent hand-strap on the back (which is the most important feature), the little kick-stand generally works (though it has limited functionality, see below). The case seems rugged and should take minor dings and hits in stride. It's not expensive, it shipped and arrived quickly. Worth noting: there is no screen protector - which I think is the right design choice. If you take care of your expensive devices, you don't need (and don't want) anything on your screen. "Screen protectors" (in my opinion) are only appropriate for careless users or small children, who can't be bothered to take care of their devices.So far, so good.The disappointments: It's a bit bulky and clunky, at least to my tastes. The iPad Mini itself is quite slim and an elegant little tablet - one of the iPad Mini's best features is it's thin, smooth, minimalist design. This case makes it feel bulky and chunky, and a bit cheap. The case includes multiple layers, two hard plastic layers and a silicone/rubbery layer sandwiched in between. This just seems to add more bulk than is necessary. The top layer extended about 1/4" above the surface of the screen; that's how it provides some protection for the screen, but it's a lot more than needed (I've seen and used other cases that just barely rose above the screen).The hand strap on the back is pretty well designed and well implemented. It does swivel 360 degrees. Unfortunately, it swivels too freely - on other cases I've owned, the swivel mechanism (which also swiveled 360 degrees) clicked into positions spaced every 30 degrees or so. This one has teeny, tiny clicks as you swivel it, but it does not click into place - more problematic, it does not remain at any angle of rotation that you choose....it will continue to rotate back and forth much too easily. It would work much better if it remained at the angle you choose. This could be improved greatly and pretty easily.About the kick stand: yes, it works, but I could only get it to click into a single position, so there was only a single viewing angle. Also, it was more difficult than it should be to click into place and also to then release (so it could then fold back flat). This too could be greatly improved if they made it so that one could choose multiple positions/viewing angles), and because it's hard to click in/out of the single location, I suspect the kick stand will break pretty quickly.Instructions: The instructions are bad. I know, you really need instructions? Yeah, for the initial setup, you do. The instructions just say to "release the 8 clamps" but there is no hint of what or where these "clamps" are...I spent 20 minutes hunting for them, eventually just forcing the thing apart, almost breaking it. (The "clamps" they refer to are actually just some hidden plastic "tabs" which you can't see until you tear the thing apart...instructions are obviously written by a non-native English speaker; hey, I don't speak Chinese so thanks for translating to English, but you need a better translation and there should be a diagram that shows where these "clamps" are - they're hidden and really difficult to find).Overall: this isn't a bad case, it's not horrible. I think if I was going to hand an iPad to a 4-year-old, it would probably work as well as any other I've seen. But it has a few features that are weak and make the user experience clunky. It's certainly not elegant.I continue to look for a nice, minimalist case that's thin, elegant, and includes a rotatable hand-strap and kick-stand on the back. One company used to make these but has abandoned the Mini. I keep hoping someone will start selling something better. Hope this is helpful. Good luck.

My biggest complaint, and it’s BIG, is the thickness of the front bezel and cutouts. The cutout for the screen is perfect, but so close that with my iPad mini it’s nearly impossible to swipe up to get the task switcher, and interferes with thumbprint ID on the button. This is because the bezel is so thick and cut so close.It seems like a very protective case. I’ll be using it with the shoulder strap daily (if I keep it), so I’m also a little concerned about the strength of the small plastic loops for the strap attachment.I don’t see any vignetting with the rear camera , but there is some with the front due to the thickness of the bezel and cutout. That cutout is a little off.The three buttons work well.ONE MONTH UPDATE 5-27-2020Well... I still have this but I've removed the plastic bezel (front shell), so the silicone is the only thing holding the iPad in (seems like it will hold). That's the only way to get the swipe actions and thumbprint ID to work reliably because of the ridiculous thickness of the bezel. And even then I have to pull the silicone away from the screen first, without touching the screen, to be able to swipe and get to the various controls. I didn't realize how much I use those controls, including the thumbprint ID. The silicone doesn't bother the thumbprint though, just the swiping actions. I tried a couple of folio type cases but the material that holds the iPad has the same problem, it blocks the swipe from edge function. Those got returned right away (thanks Amazon!).I've also cut off the silicone cover over the Lightning port, that was just too awkward. Haven't cut the cover on the headphone jack yet (also awkward) because I don't use it that much. I may even trim some silicone away from where I swipe from so I don't have to pull it away as much, but I'm wary of weakening it. But then constant pulling on it might do the same thing... A dilemma...I left my rating at three stars because I'm still using it, but it's not without modifications. It's not designed to allow full use of the iPad and I think it could be much better without any added cost.

I bought this case for my dads Christmas gift. He has really enjoyed it!! Here’s his thoughts: iPad mini case came today. Hard case with silicone rubber padding around edges has a good quality Otterbox feel to it except it does not have the clear plastic sheath over the screen so it is not waterproof. Will make a good travel case or would make an excellent kidproof case if it comes in colors other than black. Install was a breeze. Camera holes lined up no problem on iPad mini 5. The hand strap on the back rotates with a nice clicking sound and feels solid. The hidden kickstand is a nice plus. Five stars!

This iPad mini 5 case is bought for my husband, he is usually a little careless, with it no longer have to worry about falling, the quality is very nice, the color is also pretty, he likes it.

Great fit. Love that it has a stand.

There is a small donkey in my house, bought a armor specially. The iPad mini 5 case is quite suitable, does not affect the usual use, anti-fall, can be safely played to the child, fell twice, no problem.

Tight and robust. I believe it will protect my ipad very well.

Having lived through2 disappointing OTTERBOX covers for my phone , i was ready for something cheaper for the mini tablet!Only drawback it has no screen shield. The rest is perfect love the adjustable velcro handle / kickstand combo . I can strap to almost anything in the garden while working :)
