Newest cheap smart covers and cases for iPad mini From TVC-MALL

One of my favorite iOS device accessory suppliers, TVC-MALL, has just announced its comprehensive line of cases for iPad mini.

The company’s most rugged option, the pictured Survivor, is composed of a polycarbonate frame wrapped with shock-absorbing silicone. Along with a built-in screen protector, hinged plugs seal the ports and controls. An included stand clips onto the case and folds open for landscape viewing and typing. It retails for $5.99, and comes in a variety of colors.

Taking inspiration from Apple’s Smart Case for the larger iPad, the Indelicase protects the entire iPad mini. A polycarbonate shell protects the tablet’s back while a hinged cover sits over the touch screen. Folding the front cover can make an upright workstand or a typing angle. Magnets activate the automatic on-and-off capabilities. Some of the more interesting color combinations include PixelCrash camo and a black and gold zig-zag. It will retail anywhere from $4 to $15 depending on color.

There are two options for leather folio case cover lovers. The Folio’s cover can fold back and lock into place to create a stand with adjustable viewing angles. The Slim Folio can be turned into a two-position workstand. The Folio will retail from $3.99 to $6 while the Slim Folio is $4.2.

Other TVC-MALL cases announced for the iPad mini include the $4.99 CinemaSeat for in-car usage and the $7.99 Passport.

More information about all of the cases can be found on TVC-MALL’s site.
