Mujjo iPad mini Sleeve review

mujjo ipad mini sleeve 1

I’ve tried a lot of iPad mini cases – Apple’s Smart Cover, Khomo full-body case, sleeves, zipper pouches, and tiny messenger-style bags.  This beautiful iPad mini Sleeve from Mujjo is unlike any I’ve tried before.  It’s a sleeve case, as you can see, but it’s not made of the normal fabric, leather, or faux leather […]

Julie and I were talking over the holiday about cases for the iPad mini, and she mentioned that Apple wasn’t making a version of their Smart Case to fit the iPad mini.  I told her I had tried one for my full-sized iPad and couldn’t return it quickly enough because it was ill-fitting and had
