When ordering my Mini I purchased the Apple cover, same as I use for my iPad but also purchased the Otterbox. I ordered the Mini so I could carry it almost all the time so I have decided to keep it in the Otterbox, never even opened the magnet case. I want to be able to just drop it in my purse and run. I don't think I would feel comfortable doing that with my cover only because it could open and come loose in my bag. ~~ Diane
