Disclosure: I was provided a Speck iPad Mini DuraFolio and ShieldView for this review.
Protecting all my gadgets is serious business. That’s why I protect with Speck.
I don’t just go out and get the cheapest iPad case on Amazon and call it good. I’ve done that in the past, and it ended up being a waste of money. It failed to guard my device from scratches, dents and scuffs.
Lesson learned.
Being the tech-lover that I am, I did hours of research on my future cases. I realized there is a big difference in a $10 case verse a $30 case and that name brands do count for something. During my internet research, I found raving reviews about Speck products… I hadn’t even heard of them!
“Speck is inventive, bold and make the most exceptional products.”
Based on the Speck product reviews, I gave them a go.
From that day forward, I was sold on the excellent cases, screen protectors and covers that are made by Speck. And when I got a new iPad Mini 2 for Christmas, I knew a Speck case was in order.
Behold, the DuraFolio from Speck.
The Durafolio is a top-of-the-line iPad case. Speck currently has the DuraFolio for the iPad Air, iPad and iPad mini tablets (along with other strong cases).
This iPad Mini case is the leader in durable iPad cases. It’s military-grade drop protection is incomparable to other brands of iPad cases.
Speck has tested the DuraFolio and determined that the identified cases meet or exceed certain standards often used by the military to determine effectiveness of protection.
Beyond it’s ultimate protection, it is actually reasonably light and slim. The case has that durable feeling, without the bulky feel.
When it is completely closed it uses magnets to detect sleep mode. When you open it up it will automatically wake your iPad. Handy, dandy!
This case can be set in a number of different positions, upright and flat for convenient use. Whether you are watching a movie, typing a story or just browsing, choose the right angle.
Overall, this Speck case is just what I was looking for. It has the ultimate, durable protection. It is sturdy and strong, yet slim and small. It has a number of different viewing angles and stays in place. It also comes in 5 color options, to fit any personality.
A trusted case is just one of the two important items needed to protect a tablet, smartphone or computer. The other, which is sometimes forgotten, is a high quality screen protector.
Of course Speck has those too!
I decided the ShieldView was the perfect scratch and smudge protector for my iPad Mini. It came in both a glossy and a matte option. I settled on the glossy, because I like that shiny new-look vibe. The ShieldView came with 2 high clarity protective screen films and a cleaning cloth to wipe away dust.
The iPad mini screen protector was easy to put on, on the very first try! No bubbles anywhere! If there has been any, I could easily redo it though! They instructions make it quick and simple to apply this fingerprint-proof screen protector.
This screen protector works on the iPad mini, iPad mini 2 and iPad mini 3.
Last Thoughts
Speck Products are really the best of the best. I am so pleased with both the iPad mini case and screen protector. Just like the products I have tried in the past, Speck once again exceeds my expectations. I can tell this case will last the life of my iPad mini.
