The best iPad Mini 6 cases will offer good protection, great value, and perhaps even a little personal flair to your tiny tablet, but there certainly are a lot to choose from.

We've looked at as many cases as we could get our hands on to find the best for different people's needs, considering the value, build quality, protectiveness, brand reputation and customer reviews to help you find the right iPad Mini 6 case for you.

Best all-rounder
+ Perfect fit
+ Great looks
- No edge protection
Apple's own Smart Folio is the best all-round iPad mini 6 case in terms of looks and function, the only downsides being the price and lack of edge protection. The heavyweight polyurethane is durable and feels good to use.
Best budget case
+ Highly affordable
+ 360° protection
- Not super durable
This case is a great cheaper alternative to Apple's own folio. It offers decent corner protection and an attractive look, and can store your Apple Pencil 2. It may not be the most durable, but for the price we can't complain.
Best luxury option
+ Premium feel
+ Pencil 2 clasp
- Expensive
This case is crafted from premium cowhide leather with a microfibre lining that prevents scratches. Like many of the best iPad mini cases, it can be used as a stand and its magnets will ensure the fit is perfect for your device.
Best for Apple Pencil
+ Excellent value
+ Pencil protection
- Weak magnets
This case doubles as a stand and has auto sleep and wake – it even has an additional magnetic clasp on the side designed to hold your Pencil 2 in place while it's charging on the side. There's also some very nice colour options to choose from.
Best protection
+ Great protection
+ Slim
- No stand
If you're wanting solid protection, this case features air cushion technology that acts as an effective shock absorber if you drop it. This case also fits around the device and provides decent edge protection for those that are a bit clumsy.
Best case for kids
+ Ideal for kids
+ Ample protection
- Not very subtle
This chunk of brightly-coloured plastic and foam comes complete with a screen protector, handle, strap and kickstand. Versatile, cheap and properly protective, this is a must if you're getting an iPad mini 6 for the kids.
Best transparent option
+ Yellowing-resistant
+ Drop protection
- No cover
The case offers a tough protective shell that leaves the iPad's design completely visible. It protects your mini with a hard back and soft, flexible frame, and it provides drop protection thanks to shock-absorbing corners and raised edges.
Best stylish option
+ Lots of designs
+ Durable design
- Slightly looser fit
This is a great pick for bolder looks. It has the standard trifold magnetic cover that'll wake and sleep your iPad mini, and it acts as a stand. On the back there's a translucent soft TPU shell that provides drop protection. There's plenty of other designs available too.
Best sleek option
+ Auto wake and sleep
+ Translucent back
+ Great value
This case comes in a range of colours at unbeatable prices. There's a magnetic PU cover that'll wake and sleep your device, and a translucent frosted back cover that provides drop protection. It also has 2 different viewing mode angle.
