After buying the terribly designed Otterbox Symmetry case (which Apple should be ashamed to push in their stores - it fell apart on day 2 under light use), I went looking for reviews. This site offered multiple thorough, clear, well-demonstrated reviews of iPad mini-6 cases (including one where the author updated and corrected an error he had made) that led me to this Zugu case - from a company previously unknown to me. The review was absolutely on target, the case is superbly designed for function and looks. It’s hard to find trustworthy and thorough tech reviews, but “Average Tech Guy” is way above average in my book. Great work. I’m now a subscriber.
Thanks to your review, I actually bought both the red and the black variants last week. I had never heard of this company before, but I’m so glad I pulled the trigger on then now. Fantastic cases for the iPad Mini 6.
I wore this case out after heavy use. Its been on my ipad mini, since i first got it. Its in my tool box. Fits in my pocket often. The cover is peeling apart. The magnet in case is great for hanging it off roof top ac and heating systems. Im ordering another one. Most cases are bigger making it hard to out my ipad into one of my pockets when i am on the go.
Love Zugu cases. Only downside is that it weighs as much as the iPad mini. The folio case is a third of the weight of the Zugu case, but a lot less protection.
Dude. You should get commission from Zugu. I bought it middle watching your video. My main concern on this, or any case for that matter, is when reading the flap is annoying to be loose. That happened so much on my Kindle that I remove the hard cover altogether and remove it. Really appreciate you going that deep on this review.
I'm with you 100% regarding the flap. I got the amazing Otterbox Symmetry 360 case and love it... except for the flap. It ticked all the buttons for me except that. I ended up getting the official Apple case because the flap would stay in place via the magnets. I love the slim look of the official case but I really dig this as well. I'm very much considering it.
I take my iPad Mini out of it's current case on a regular basis when attaching to it to my car mount when I use it as a GPS. How easy is it to remove the iPad from the Zugu case & do you think that the attachment points will endure this type of use over time? I ask because my current case faired well considering "years" of use - but the camera corner cracked open & needed some tape to keep it in tact.
The case has a big design flaw for right handed Apple Pencil use. The cutout on the side forces you to place it facing up. The natural and quick way to grab it or place it from a writing position in the hand is facing down on the magnet. You can even see it in the video at 3:40, he had to spin the pencil in his hand to get it to writing position. This would be annoying for someone who constantly goes back and forth between pencil and free-hand use.
I’m a fan of Zugu-have one on my 2018 12.9 Pro (with issues)-have the Apple keyboard on my 2021 12.9 Pro. I have a Mini 5 and had a sort of similar case on it but I use the Mini a lot at night in bed to read-and a case was awkward and made it heavier so got a clear back for it so it handled better (not slippy) and put a glass screen saver on it. BUT-if I would use the Mini out and about (I don’t very often) i would add a Zugu-especially if I had a Mini 6 so I could carry my Pencil 2 and keep it charged. I have to use my old Pencil 1 with my Mini 5 and no way to carry it-the 6 is in my future but can’t justify it now. Really glad Zugu has made a case for the Mini-all pluses and no cons really.
Thanks for the review was browsing cases on Amazon and saw this one looked pretty promising so decided to check RUclips and I think your video sold me. Yeah $50 is a little pricey but for a new expensive device I just bought I think a high quality case is worth it. Thanks for the review!
I was looking for a decent case for my new iPad mini since there are many cases to choose from but most not what I wanted until I came across your review of ZUGU case. Since I did not know about ZUGU, your demonstration of the case made me to order one from Amazon. I tell you, I am glad I did and it is exactly what you were talking about. Thank you for sharing your video.
I just got this case and to my surprise, they no longer have Microfiber lining under the front cover. Plus is it normal that the side part of the case for the pencil slot is a bit flimsy?
I looked for your amazon link in your "shop my recommendations" list but I did not find it there. I only see the direct manufacturer link. I've seen several reviews about the ZUGU but you were the first review and I'd like to purchase through your Amazon link.
Have you experienced the Apple Pencil all of a sudden stop charging while attached in the case? Reached out to customer service and can’t get a response.
I have the mini 5 woth zugu case and I absolutely love it (the case too). I like the design of the mini 6 but with the exception of the placement of the touch id. If this had face ID, it’d be a no-brainer. But for now i’ll enjoy my mini 5. Maybe i’ll end up updating in a year or two but for now im content. Zugu does make the best cases tho.
really very nice, as indeed all your reviews on these products!! could you put the subtitles in Italian? I would be grateful 🙏🏼 I kindly asked you for advice with a message in Instagram!! thank you very much and keep it up!!!! 🤙🏼🍻🙂

And the pencil holder sucks
The weight of the case was my only issue as well. Nicely made case. Great protection too!
Does it make the mini noticeably heavier
No, not at all
@@TheAverageTechGuy thank you for the info ☺️.

Yeah - just got a case and I HATE the flap - I edit videos in mjne and that made it almost unusable - gonna grab a zugu

For me it’s the best case what I ever had for a tablet
I just got the same case and the Apple pencil 2. Now just two months to wait for the iPad Mini 6 maxed out.

Welche siliconhülle ist das für den Pencil. Eventuell mit link bitte 🙏
What do you have on ipad pen to make it look like a pencil?
Good review. I just ordered a Zugu case (finally), I have several cheaper ones already. I like the iPad and pencil wraps you have on your devices.
Thx
Zugu cases are my go to for all iPads
Great video. Which pencil case do you have? I’m curious because it fits inside the zugu case.
The akin is from DBRAND
@@TheAverageTechGuy Thank you for replying. So it's a wrap for the pencil or a silicone case?

Hi liked the video, where did you get the yellow IPad mini😀

never had that issue

Why are the cutouts for the speakers on the top so much smaller than the ones on the bottom?
Because of the placement of the Touch ID and volume buttons
Thank you for this video! I plan to get the ipad mini 7 and I hope this company makes a case for it.
@@razbwife they do
Great review. What is the name of the brand of the yellow skin you have on the mini? Thanks!
Thx. It's from D Brand
What pencil like case skin works for the iPad with the zugu case iPad pro 11 inch generation so I can get the pencil to charge?
🤙🏻Do you find that you actually use the 7 viewing angles much ?
Why is the back of the iPad yellow? I love it!!
It's a Dbrand Skin
@@TheAverageTechGuy Looked it up, I love it! Thank you!!
Please, the yellow back, what is this? Where do i get this?

@@TheAverageTechGuy Thank you very much for caring and your answer. I'm shopping in the EU store, does that make a difference?

Does it work in portrait stand mode?
Nah chief, not meant for that mode
Thanks for sharing.
I really wish they made an iPad mini pro
