I have recently bought an iPad mini 6, and am also trying to find a suitable case. I have had a look at the suggestions in this thread (thanks, all) but none seem to be quite what I want.
My old iPad is a Mini 4 and I have the STM Dux case for it, which has served me very well: strong, rubbery, grippy, protects all sides and corners well, and with a folding cover/stand that stays up fairly well (most of the time, as long as it doesn't get dislodged from the tiny clips that hold it at the right angle). So I am naturally looking at the
STM Dux Plus Case for iPad mini 6, but I'm a bit less keen on how the slot for the Apple Pencil has a large open gap in the middle to pick up the stylus, rather than a push-through hole that most other similar cases seem to have (especially as I don't have, and most likely won't get, an Apple pencil).
I am also using my iPad more often as an ebook reader nowadays, so I am also tempted by cases which have a rotatable stand which can be used in either landscape or portrait orientation. However, most of these that I have seen on a certain well known shopping site seem to be from a plethora of anonymous Chinese manufacturers, with mixed reviews and comments that often either the fit is often poor or they fall apart or break easily if the iPad is dropped, not often providing much protection. Many also seem to have some sort of screen protector as an integral/required front part of the case (which holds it all together), and I'm worried that either these won't rest cleanly against the screen, making the screen less responsive, or possibly that they have to adhere themself to the screen(?), which worries me that they might cause damage or be difficult/impossible to remove in the future (or am I worrying too much about this)?
For example:
SEYMAC case (with integral screen protector),
Philenta case (without screen protector) - but not many reviews and one particularly negative one.
Does anyone have any good (or bad) experiences with these cases, or suggestions for similar models (it's the more sturdy (but not too chunky) case style that I want. not the minimal folio flap style).
