Check our our quick review after the break.
You aren’t buying a Ballistic Tough Jacket for iPad mini just because you want protection. You want the casing to protect everything, so here are the features you would expect from the casing.
Ballistic Corners — your iPad mini doesn’t drop the way to instruct it, corner drops will result to crack screens and Ballistic is prepared for that.
Raised Lips and Corners — if your iPad mini drops face down, are you going to close your eyes and just keep your cool? This feature is taken cared of by the Tough Jacket. Don’t worry, I have tried it few times and my iPad mini is still working. 😀
Integrated Kickstand — watching movies and viewing photos is not a problem because Tough Jacket has an integrated stand that is not annoying.
Multiple layers — you have paid for this. For maximum protection, the Tough Jacket is multiple layered, the first later is a rubber that holds the iPad mini directly, and then there is another plastic case and finally an outer hard plastic cover is in place for the total protection.
Reversible cover — the outer hard plastic is reversible, you use this during travel or if you want to put your iPad Mini in your bag. You can take off the outer plastic cover from the back and put it to cover the screen.
So, it is an awesome casing for your iPad Mini? I say yes, if you have kids playing your tablet most of the times. I say yes, if you are the clumsy type of person that drops anything that comes close to you, or you are the type of person that brings your iPad Min outdoors.
But you super thin iPad mini becomes bulky with the Ballistic Tough Jacket. Yeah, that’s were the argument comes in. While there are slim casing that comes cheaper and does not add too much weight to your lovely tablet, choosing the Ballistic Tough Jacket is not all happy endings. Because Tough Jacket come heavier and tough, it will double the weight of your iPad mini (this is my guestimate only). Aside from the added weight, I am sold to the Ballistic Tough Jacket protective case for iPad Mini.
Not all products are made to be perfect. Say good bye to your earphones, or you need to buy an adapter with a longer length or a slimmer one. I tried connecting my speakers using the standard 3.5mm plug, it wont fit now.

Conclusion.
If you spent P15,490 for your iPad Mini, why not add few thousand more or P2,490 to be exact for your total peace of mind.
