I like the Torro case, too. I’m just disappointed that I got a black one and now they have dark blue! I use the Apple brand cover at home and the Torro case when I take the Mini 6 out of the house. The Torro cover is heavier than the Apple cover. I like the flap to keep the pencil in place.
I also have the Apple Smart Folio (Dark Cherry) in addition to the Torro but I never use it - I don't like the slick feel and prefer the texture of the Torro, it's a fingerprint magnet, and it never lies quite flat against the tablet (bulges up slightly in the middle).
The Torro case looks really nice, special the dark brown, but for now im happy with this case, same as Apple Smart Folio, but much cheaper -

Depends on what you need. I spent nearly £50. Which I think is quite a lot. But I use my mini in industrial environments, gets carted around in work pockets, tools, in the van. And while I haven’t yet dropped it at work, concrete floors are harder than carpet.
(Urban armour gear, good but has a few minor niggles)
If I only used it at home. I may have spent £25 at the most. Probably less, just something to stop minor bumps and scrapes.

I got two ipad mini cases, one from Zugu mini 6 case 49.99$ used at home, the other one from Ambison magnetic iPad mini 6 case 25.99$ for my office, ZUGU is pretty good except the price?, Ambison is good enough but not than Zugu I think, but the price is pretty good for me.
I paid around $50 for an Otterbox Defender case. I have had my iPad Mini 5 inside it since day 1 and after talking it out after 2 years the iPad looked as new as the day I got it. No scuffs, marks, scratches or dinks. I have dropped it many times also so I can definitely vouch for this case.

I bought a $15 case for our original iPad and the case still looks great. The iPad looks good, too, but is completely useless.
Does that flap get it the way I don't use a pencil, does the front cover stick to the back when folded?
Hard to find a nice leather iPad case, Nomad are but like $250AUD here v $75 for the Toro. Not sure about that pencil flap though, guess it makes the iPad safer.
I like that it holds the front cover really flat, unlike the Apple cover I have that bows up in the middle. It has been a really nice case for both the 12.9 and the Mini 6.
You must of got a dud apple folio, we have 2 x 11" and I have a 12.9", also had the mini 6 and none of them do that. The mini one was sharp on edges.
I wasn't the only one -
