Our take on the Apple Smart Folio for iPad Mini (6th Generation)

The Smart Folio is Apple's own slim cover for the 6th-generation iPad Mini. It protects the front and back, folds into a stand for typing or viewing, and attaches magnetically with no straps or clips. It wakes and sleeps the iPad when opened and closed. Rivals like ESR and Spigen cost far less and add pencil holders or rugged edges, but none match Apple's fit and finish. It suits people who want a light, minimal cover and don't need drop protection.

Questions and answers

Does it fit the iPad Mini 7th generation?
It is made for the 6th-generation iPad Mini. The 7th-generation Mini has the same dimensions, so it generally fits, but Apple lists it for the 6th generation.
Does it protect the screen and the back?
Yes, it covers the front and back. It does not wrap around the edges or corners, so it is not drop protection.
Can I charge the Apple Pencil while the folio is on?
Yes. The folio leaves the magnetic side edge open, so the Apple Pencil attaches and charges as usual. There is no separate holder for it.
Does it put the iPad to sleep when closed?
Yes. Opening the cover wakes the iPad and closing it puts it to sleep.
How many viewing angles does the stand offer?
Two: a low angle for typing and a more upright angle for watching.
What colors does it come in?
Black, white, red, orange and purple.
