Hey Mike, when the iPhone 6 comes out, is their any chance I can buy your gold iPhone 5s at a price we can both agree on? If so, I would make the purchase between December, or January. So there's more time for you to decide, if possible please let me know, thank you.
Hey DetroitBORG how are you doing? Love your videos. Always well shot, presented and rounded out. The commentary is great as well. I see you put a lot of effort shooting and editing your videos and I give you kudos for that.
Wow, I have an old iPad Mini from back around this time, 2013 but I don't use it, haven't for years as I use my iPhone 8 for everything, but my mini had one of these Smart Cases and I legit remember that from so long ago, it was the grey color... what memories! Now that Mini is really slow, stuck on iOS 9.3.5 won't go further and the mic is done for on it, has been for years.
Great job on the vid. Helped me understand what the covers looked like. The weathering away of the color shouldn't be too much of a problem as well because I'm sure you use your iPhone way more than you'd use your iPad mini. Thanks again:D
As always a very nice video. I really enjoy watching them, you have so much attention for details in your reviews, its awesome ! Thanks alot for doing this
you sold me on this case and the iPad mini retina display lol I'm really picky on my cases and I love it can't wait to flood the back with stickers >:]
Great looking cases but wayyyyyyyyyy too expensive in my opinion. For a case I mean. Like 70 dollars? You could buy an ipod shuffle or an off brand case for the iPad like I did that has just as much protection. Still i think they are very nice cases. :)
The cutout for the lightning cable wore out easily. Now the ipad won't stay in the cover. And the leather hinge isn't soft enough so the cover won't close properly.
Hello, since the smart cover for the iPad 2/3/4 was available in leather, did that leather wore off overtime? Thanks, I really hope you reply. Im planning on buying this case for my mini with retina but i was curious about that.
hey i'm curious how the iPad cases have held up over time? now that you have had them for.. two years. how is the fit, is it still snug or is it loose, i read a few reviews about it becoming very loose after a few months... any comment on that? - TIA
Here is a weird question. Should I exchange my iPad air 16 gig for an iPad mini retina display 32 gig? The full size iPad had become so light and thin and I don't know if there is a strong case for iPad mini.
I went to Best Buy to get the iPad Air smart case, but they were all sold out. I got a Belkin case that works great. It has slots for business cards and a pen holder, but it doesn't have the magnet in the cover that shuts off the screen when closed.
hi detroitborg!! I am a really big fan of your videos but I've a question. you just buy altimes two versions of iPads, iPhones and like that stuff but do you use them all after the reviews that you make?
Seriously man how much use do you get out of all your gadgets.? I was under the impression that you bought them, reviewed them and then either gave them back or sold them on, however this vid gives the impression that you actually keep all of your devices...? Did you have a big lottery win at some point? Lol
Not a big deal, these are RUclipsrs so it's tax deductible because a lot of people can use this for their "business". Check people like Ty Moss, Soldierknowsbest, or Chris Pirillo, they buy their own gear but it's a write off.
I would have loved for the screen cover to be detachable from the case, so when you want to play a game the thing isn't dangling around. even rolling it up it just seems weird.
Some food for thought, Apple no longer sells that brown color iPad Smart case. They do have a much darker olive brown case that might not show as much wear.
Go to aliexpress.com and look for 'original Apple smart case'. They have a lot of fake ones that look identically like the real one, and they're like $10. I had real Apple cases for my iPhone 5, 6 and iPad 3 but they're so expensive and I found exact replicas on that site, so I ordered 2 leather iPhone cases (look like pretty much identical to the real ones) and some are real leather, some are plastic that looks and feels like leather (you don't notice it, I have both). The non leather ones don't wear out that quick (if you're planning on choosing a light color) and no cows were harmed and killed for it.
Arne Maeschaelck The original apple case is too smooth and hard compared to the Baseus case which is softer and has a slight rough texture that leather normally has. So even though it isn't genuine leather, its texture makes it feel more genuine than Apple's.
I personally think that the black smart case goes better with the white iPad mini than the brown case. I also think that the red cover DOES go best with the black iPad mini
Sweet!
Hi Mike. Can you do a giveaway of this? :)

+DetroitBORG That brown iphone 5 case discoloring makes it look more antique.
+Aleksa Tadic you look like a weirdo in your photo

I watch your videos ALL the time! I wake up watching your videos. I love them!!

FloridianBowler there’s a way to downgrade to 8.4.1

I am happy because people will know which one to have to buy i pad mini smart case. nice job you did
I love your videos! They are such quality videos! I will always come here for my tech reviews! keep up the good work!
1:18 "Well we have instructions on how to install it here.

Excellent review; answered every question I had! Thanks, DetroitBORG!
As always a very nice video. I really enjoy watching them, you have so much attention for details in your reviews, its awesome ! Thanks alot for doing this
What does he do with all of his devices?
Hey, CAN YOU DO A FOLLOW UP IN THIS CASE? I want to get one but I wander how it has hold up to you over time.
I have the space grey/black iPad mini and the Apple smart case in midnight blue and it's awesome!!!
you sold me on this case and the iPad mini retina display lol I'm really picky on my cases and I love it can't wait to flood the back with stickers >:]
thanks, now i got it because you tell and describe it REALLY well!
Do you think it's better to have a case with a keyboard built in, or a separate bluetooth one? Would the new mini fit any cases for the older one?
Michael , Seriously i like your review and unboxing
Nice case, no doubt.
Why are you verified?
Great looking cases but wayyyyyyyyyy too expensive in my opinion. For a case I mean. Like 70 dollars? You could buy an ipod shuffle or an off brand case for the iPad like I did that has just as much protection. Still i think they are very nice cases. :)
On ebay they are like $8.00
Wal-Mart has them for 30 bucks
Lauren Gaming But those are counterfeit.
Red with white ist the best combo!
The cutout for the lightning cable wore out easily. Now the ipad won't stay in the cover. And the leather hinge isn't soft enough so the cover won't close properly.
Hello, since the smart cover for the iPad 2/3/4 was available in leather, did that leather wore off overtime?
Thanks, I really hope you reply.
Im planning on buying this case for my mini with retina but i was curious about that.
If you dont mind me asking you think you could do a unboxing to dre beats im thinking about buying them but im not sure if ill like them
hey i'm curious how the iPad cases have held up over time? now that you have had them for.. two years. how is the fit, is it still snug or is it loose, i read a few reviews about it becoming very loose after a few months... any comment on that? - TIA
Watching on my iPad mini and getting a smart case tomorrow
Here is a weird question. Should I exchange my iPad air 16 gig for an iPad mini retina display 32 gig? The full size iPad had become so light and thin and I don't know if there is a strong case for iPad mini.
What about keeping shut in a purse for instance? The cover doesn't so I simply discarded it. Great vid!
Are you going to review the nexus 5 case I've seen one in one of your videos.
Would the black case stay cleaner for a longer period of time?
I went to Best Buy to get the iPad Air smart case, but they were all sold out. I got a Belkin case that works great. It has slots for business cards and a pen holder, but it doesn't have the magnet in the cover that shuts off the screen when closed.
This is a boss cover but heat is a concern for me as the Mini's tend to get warm.
Is this iPad mini with Retina display?
hi detroitborg!!
I am a really big fan of your videos but I've a question. you just buy altimes two versions of iPads, iPhones and like that stuff but do you use them all after the reviews that you make?
what is your day to day iPad Mini? The black or the white
I like your reviews :)
Seriously man how much use do you get out of all your gadgets.? I was under the impression that you bought them, reviewed them and then either gave them back or sold them on, however this vid gives the impression that you actually keep all of your devices...? Did you have a big lottery win at some point? Lol
I got the same question here..
Not a big deal, these are RUclipsrs so it's tax deductible because a lot of people can use this for their "business". Check people like Ty Moss, Soldierknowsbest, or Chris Pirillo, they buy their own gear but it's a write off.
$80 Canadian seems to be a good price for it, seeing as it's real leather, an all the neat features it has
hi.. smart case or smart cover? what is the best option
I really wish they still made these
Are you gonna do a giveaway for the iPad mini?
What color should I get for my iPad mini 2 because I don't know if I want to get the red or blue
so, should i upgrade from my current mini to this one with retina?
What do you really mean by protection? Drop/impact protection?
Are the sleep\wake buttons on your retina mini loose? If I tap on mine it sounds loose where as my Air's buttons are very tight and don't move.
Will this fit with the original ipad mini
Its just auto oN and off or there's a setting That we have to set??
Good stuff Mike. Thanks for the review.
Is it able to use it with the previous ipad Model ?
For the love of God why do people fold the cover on its felt side! Do it in reverse so that the felt side is not expose GOOD GRIEF!
Great review! Thanks for doing this.
I like the smart cover in my opinion because it’s only covering the screen and it’s not really thick
Where can I get this on eBay, please? Apple store not working for me in Peru.
How do they hold up over time? Does the color fade or anything?
3 months til now, iit looks the same
hey im getting a ipad mini for my birthday mabye and what happens if the flap hits the screen would it break
really crossing my fingers that these as well as the tablets aren't going to be gone tomorrow. go Black Friday!
I would get the smart case but I want to be able to just use the smart cover if I want, I think they should come as two separate parts in the same box
Which ipad do you use more often
Ipad mini or ipad air
i had a fake smart case for my old iPad which used to leave lines on my screen, do the original smart cases/covers do this as well?
Yes.
The Smart Cover does but the smart case doesn't
+Yasir Ali I have the smart case it also leaves the lines.
I would have loved for the screen cover to be detachable from the case, so when you want to play a game the thing isn't dangling around. even rolling it up it just seems weird.
Watching on my iPad mini 2 with a red smart case. 😊
Championship Zed I’m in the blue one
also watching this on a iPad mini with cellular on a brown smart case 🙂
will this case work for the ipad mini first gen
Can you use for normal iPad mini
Is it worth it to buy this or the cover and a separate case
And which is better mini or air?
they both have the EXACT same specs expect the screen size and camera.
Lorenzo Parra No. The cameras are both the same too
well, from some reveiws that iPad Air looks better for some reason
you didn't show it work in the keyboard position.................. probably because it doesn't what do you think?
what is the name of the case that you have on your iPhone?
How much money do you have, i have to ask???
He is not allowed to say
You just sold me the cases P great job
Will a screen protector effect the Smart Cover magnet?
no
choose the smart case or the smart cover both are good
do the iphone docks
Great review! as usual
would this work for the iPad mini 5?
I got this case today 2nd hand in great condition for just £20
How does it hold up when it comes to drop tests? I don't want to spend $70 on something that will break when it gets knocked off the table :p
How many phones and tabs you have...
Will this fit with an iPad Mini 2?
I have a black ipad mini what color of the smart cover should I buy
Some food for thought, Apple no longer sells that brown color iPad Smart case. They do have a much darker olive brown case that might not show as much wear.
whats the name of the case u r using on ur iphone 5s ?
What do you work please tell us
Great vid mike!
What colour do you lot think would suit best with a black iPad?
Red colour smart case for your black ipad ,very nice
sandwich sushi yeah i think so too!
It's darker than air. At least the brown one. Also, the mini smartcase closed fully unlike the air
Looks great, but it's too expensive. :(
I found a nice case called the Baseus Primary Series. It has the same design and is also made of leather. Can be found in aliexpress for $17
***** Glad I could help! Where did you purchase? It took me 15 days to get it after purchase, so I'm jealous that you got it in less than 14 days haha

Can This Case Work on The iPad Mini Without Retina Display(1st Gen. iPad Mini)
THANK YOU.
yes it work
This is slightly bigger so I'm not that sure
i want an ipad to use for art (sketching and graphic design) which should i get, the ipad mini with retina display or ipad air?
ipad air, bigger screen, and since its now lighter i would prefer the ipad air (i've got the old ipad mini)
with so many less expensive options out there, this should be your last option
Modal Ipad mini case just as great. i got mine on sale for $15.99
Good video,that red case look nice.But for $70 that's overprice and yeah i know it's Apple lol.
Does this work with the original ipad mini
Yes!
I personally think that the black smart case goes better with the white iPad mini than the brown case. I also think that the red cover DOES go best with the black iPad mini
Love your videos
Woo just picked up the brown one
:-D
I bought one of these and returned it in literally ten minutes back to the Apple Store and got a much better case for $49 (not by Apple)
Hey guys, Mike here.
Your famous line. XD
It's "It's Mike here the Detroitborg
Is it me?? Those the leather look wrinkled in each of the four corners of the cover?
What kind of watch is that.
Who won the giveaway?
Nice vid :)
I like the brown one. :)
Why do you always get product red?
