This premium cover has a durable polycarbonate shell, with soft, felt padding inside, which fits around the back of your iPad mini. The shell is covered in a padded, synthetic leather material, with an attached lid that folds over the front of the tablet, providing all-around protection for your iPad and a professional appearance The lid is hinged in three places, allowing it to be rolled into a triangular base that supports the iPad in a horizontal/landscape orientation, perfect for watching movies or other video content. A magnet in the front-most portion of the lid provides a light grip on the frame of the iPad, keeping it in place when closed, yet allowing it to be easily opened with just a gentle pull on the edge As with other iPad covers with a magnetic latch, this cover will automatically turn your iPad on when it is opened and off when it is closed. Note that this feature will not function until it is enabled in the iPad settings. To enable it, first install the cover and close it. The iPad will detect the magnetic latch and will reveal the settings for the automatic on/off function.
