Can't beat the price.

I needed a case for my new budget iPad mini 2. I picked this case up in store. This item was on clearance. Installing the iPad mini 2 into the case required a little finesse. The hardest part was installing the snap on cover and to make it flush with case. The trick is to start near the home button and slowly branch out along the edges until you hear faint snaps which locks the screen cover in place. Once you reach to the top center, roll your thumbs up and over each edge starting from the rear of the edge. This will create a few more faint snaps. Roll you thumbs from rear side to front of each edge a few more times. Eventually the unit will be flush and completely sealed.
I would recvomend this to anyone that is on a budget.
Pros: Price (alike cases are almost double in price). Solid feel. Not as bulky/heavy as other cases.
Cons: Patience is needed while installing the front cover.

Mini-Display Port to VGA Mac Mini

Upon my decision to break free from the Microsoft world, I decided that I would be using my old 1366x768 VGA monitor for my new Mac Mini. I was a little hesitant on purchasing an expensive premium adapter such as this. I know I've had had problems in the past with 3rd party adapters from various manufactures for multiple devices. I didn't want to risk anything and shoved out the few extra dollars for the Apple brand converter. Make sure you purchase the Mini-Display Port to VGA. DO NOT purchase a Mini-DVI to VGA adapter/converter (error in my review history). Set-up was very simple. I unboxed the adapter from the box, screwed my VGA cable from my monitor into the adaptor, plug the smaller end of the adapter into my Mac Mini, and hit the power button on the back side of my Mac Mini. I was up and running in within a few minutes.
The adapter cable can be on the shorter end for a larger desk. But no complaints. The adapter displays a clear image upon my 1366x768 VGA monitor. No shadows or interference from my day to day use. All Apple products are high quality even down to basic adapters. I'm sure this adapter will last me for years to come.
(Sorry i got Mini-DVI and Mini-Display Port mixed up in my review history. Honest mistake.)

What's great about it: Connects Mac Mini to VGA Monitor
What's not so great: Apple Pricing, Short cable

This handy adapter lets you connect your Apple iMac, MacBook or 12" PowerBook G4 notebook to an external VGA monitor or projector, so you can enjoy a larger display at home, or give outstanding presentations at work.
