New iPad Mini Cases Surface, Line Up Perfectly With Leaked Specs

As Apple’s iPad Mini comes closer to it’s anticipated fall launch date (where it could easily crush the competition with its sub-$300 price tag), leaks surrounding the device are becoming more common.

 Following last week’s report from a trio of credible sources on the specs of the smaller iPad (including a narrower bezel,  and an ultra-thin profile), new images have surfaced showing cases for the device – and interestingly enough, they match up perfectly with the rumored specs!

The images appeared on Chinese blog Giz-China.com (via MacRumors), and show multiple types of cases. Also interesting is that all of the cases feature a hole for a rear camera – something which hasn’t been heavily supported yet as a feature f the smaller iPad.

The iPad mini is expected to be as thin as an iPod touch, and feature a narrow bezel. The device is also expected be announced alongside the next-gen iPhone on September 12th (although it will likely be launched at a separate event), and is expected to be priced between $200 and $300 (12).

As always, rumors are rumors until Apple speaks up for themselves – but things are stacking up in favor of this design…
