If you want to keep things strictly Apple, then we’d recommend the Smart Cover for iPad mini 4 (£45/US$39)– which is also compatible with the iPad mini 5 and comes in a new colour, Papaya (pictured).

It’s ridiculously easy to use, with a magnetic rubberised spine that clips neatly to the left edge of the device.

Repeated daily removal won’t scratch the metal in any way, and the cover’s two folds mean you can safely stand your iPad to watch videos or lay on a desk to type on-screen.

The microfiber lining also cleans your screen subtly while it’s closed, and also auto-wakes and sleeps the iPad – a typically well thought out case.
