Spigen Tough Armor Case for Retina iPad mini Review
The Tough Armor case for the iPhone 5s has won Spigen our esteemed Editors' Choice Award, and now there's a Tough Armor version made for Apple's new and powerful iPad mini 2 with Retina display. Spigen's toughest iPad case ever is once again claiming that its the slimmest case that provides even more protection than other bulkier cases out there. Judging by our past experience with the Tough Armor case for the iPhone, it's easy to believe that the iPad version of it will impress no less. And in fact, as soon as we slapped it on our IPAD 3 CASE we knew that it would be added to our all-time favorite cases for Apple's new powerful pico-sized tablet. With that said, the Tough Armor isn't perfect and it indeed comes with a few caveats worth reading about before pulling that quick-scoping trigger of yours. So be sure to jump over the hedge for our full in-depth review of the new Tough Armor case for the iPad mini!
Some things are best left open for discussion, but not this. Because we truly believe Spigen has achieved the unachievable with the Tough Armor. It's probably the best looking drop protective case ever made for the iPad mini, and that may be a fact not just a personal taste. Whether you like the gaping hole around the back or you cannot stand the sight of it, as soon as you put your hands on the Tough Armor case you'll want to know two things. How much does it cost, and where can you get one. The latter will have us say it costs $40, but you can find the Tough Armor case for the IPAD 4 FOR KIDS CASE on Spigen's not so secrete Amazon page for a lot less. While the prices do fluctuate a bit, a Tough Armor on Amazon will set you back just $28, which is a pretty fantastic deal considering that most iPad cases run for around $50 a piece. Although we even think that at $40, the Tough Armor is a steal bargain. It's that good. But not everyone will find it as amazing as we do, because the Tough Armor for the iPad mini does come with a few little drawbacks.
The first is that it adds significant weight which is noticeable no matter how you cut it. But chances are that you are already willing to accept the additional heft since the Tough Armor is all about providing drop protection, and that comes at a cost. It by no means is a good alternative for an ultra-slim and lightweight hardshell case, but it will most likely save your $400+ investment from utter disaster. And isn't that more important than some lightweight case you can barely feel adding protection? We don't think it is, but then again if you're not known for dropping your precious gadgets on the floor then you might be better off with something a little less shielding.
The Tough Armor adds about 5.5mm to the overall thickness of the Retina iPad mini which isn't very bulky, though the added weight is more noticeable.
