by Though not specifically made for the iPad mini, STM’s $25 Blazer D7 Sleeve fits the tablet well, is light (just five ounces), and offers solid protection you can carry alone or inside another bag. The zippered, water-resistant case is lined with soft material over thick, high-density foam, and it’s large enough to accomodate an iPad mini clad in a Smart Cover or other thin case.
On the outside, you’ll find a handle, attachments for the included removeable shoulder strap, a slip pocket on the back for small (folded-8.5-by-11-inch) documents, and a zippered pocket on the front for accessories and a smartphone.—Dan Frakes
