Recommend an iPad mini case?

I know it's a bit early, but has anyone seen anything notable available yet?

Much to my surprise, the iPad mini became available on the AOS Thailand, so I ordered one. Two weeks to shipping, it sez...

There's two aisles of Mini cases at the Yodobashi Camera in Kawasaki. Cheap plastic through to tooled leather. Time for a trip into Bankok!

A thousand klicks is a way to go for an iPad case!

I'll be there for neetings soon enough, so Pantip Plaza, or MBK should have something.

I posted a mini case search from amazon for 4 stars and up

I own the non mini Bear case. Its very good a little heavy though. I had previously a slimmer leather case for my two Ipad 2s that lasted about 1.5 years. Actually only one of them started do fail. The other is still fine.

I would think with the mini you want something on the lighter side.

I have the Smart Cover, but for upright typing in landscape, its useless. Just tips over.

Yes, thin is good.

Can't. Pachyderms are banned from populated areas!

No kidding!
