I have an iPad mini (non-retina) and travel with it a lot. My first holds an iPad securely and holds up well to everyday use. It is comfortable to view in lying and vertical position. The camera and buttonholes match, although the volume buttons are covered when using a pen holder (I'm not). Why did I get a second cover? A year later, the first shows signs of wear, especially on the corners. So while the suitcase is still in great shape, I have a trip ahead of me and I want a new suitcase. I recommend this case.
