![]() ![]() It turns your iPad mini (or any sized iPad, for that matter) into a proper notepad or sketchpad. I never thought I’d say this about a screen protector – they’ve never been ‘me’ in the past I hate the idea of attaching a film to the beautiful screens on my devices.īut Paperlike is different. Secondly, their products are absolutely superb. Firstly – and for full disclosure – they are a long-time supporter of my brand, which is rather lovely. I talk a lot about Paperlike for two reasons. Price-wise, this little setup isn’t cheap (the case is $79, while the stand is $129) but considering the fact it grants your iPad mini wireless charging and includes one of the best magnetic stands I’ve come across, I think you’re getting a fair bit for your money. There are even reusable sticky pads on the base of the stand to ensure it doesn’t budge when you attach and detach your iPad. The magnets are the strongest I’ve come across, and the swivelling head is also notched, so you can angle it perfectly in landscape or portrait orientation. There’s even a charging surface for your phone on the stand’s base. This combo has been game-changing for me by having my iPad mini attached to the stand while working in the studio, the tablet is always charged up and ready to go. However, things get even more interesting when you add Pitaka’s wireless charging stand into the mix. You’ll need to provide your own adaptor, but the cable is nice and long, and it’ll charge your iPad mini at 20W, which is absolutely fine. There’s a wireless ‘Pita!Flow’ (Pita’s accessory ecosystem) charger in the box which snaps pleasingly to the rear of the case when you need to juice up your iPad mini. You plug it in while attaching the case, and bosh – you’ve got an iPad mini with something akin to MagSafe. The MagEZ does this via a built-in USB-C connection within the case. It enables your iPad mini to be charged ‘wirelessly’, which is something the device itself isn’t technically capable of. On the rear of the case, you’ll find a magnetic charging pad, denoted with a shiny, dotted cross. However, this iPad mini case actually has a trick up its sleeve. This didn’t quite work for me (the magnets on the case are plenty strong enough) but thankfully you can detach it. It’s also fully compatible with the Apple Pencil and includes a slightly odd holder thing for Apple’s don’t-call-it-a-stylus. ![]() It looks pretty nice, fits perfectly, and doesn’t add too much bulk or heft to the iPad mini. No dramas, really, although it is definitely one of the better options on the market. It’s actually two products, and we’ll focus first on the MagEZ Case Pro. But they recently sent me something which has genuinely transformed the iPad mini in terms of its capabilities and how I use it. Pitaka makes some awesome accessories for Apple stuff – I’ve been a big fan for a long time.
