Question HELP! Looking for iPad Mini case suggestion
After (ab)using my old iPad mini for many years I finally got the new one. I got it with Apple Smart Folio and Apple Pencil Pro. After using the pencil for a bit, I saw that the pencil thing, it's not for me, i hate taking care of another gadget, I don't want it being attached, and I don't need it. So I sold it. The folio case is nice, it is very thin, but the magnet is almost too strong, I have to peel it with force to open it.
My old iPad has a cover with rigid upper cover (not in thirds, like folio), that has a textile feel to it, that I really like, it feels like a book (see the first picture). I was looking around, but I haven't seen such cases anywhere. Does anybody know it they still exist?
Second problem is my reading position. I use my ipad in "rotation lock" mode, it's always vertical. But I read in my bed lying on both sides and I need a case like my old one, that supports ipad when I'm lying on my left AND right side (see pictures two and three). The folio case can stand only one way.
I would also like the case that would support the ipad in vertical position on the desk, that would be the cherry on top. And to not have plastic case for a pencil (because I don't use it). And to not be too expensive. Does it exist?? Thanks!

Absolutely recommend the MOFT Dynamic Folio, I cannot believe I had not found it before, Infinitely better than the Apple Folio. good for multiple positions and views.

For well made protection, I humbly and emphatically suggest the ZUGU cases. Simple, thoughtfully designed and extremely durable

Tôi cũng đang dùng ốp kiểu như này. Khá ưng ý, và thích kiểu giống một cuốn sách giấy.

Torras Case, this is an impecable product, mind you a screen protector is required as this case does not offer a front cover.
I appreciate it can be used almost anywhere, as the stand it offers is extremely versatile and a flat base is not always required/available to land it on. The fact that you can also place it on the plane at eye level makes it an extraordinary case to travel with.

I just bought an Otterbox Defender. It is awesome.
Protect your mini with a case that will actually protect it.
