Ordered one too. What are good cases? Can't believe the apple one is 55!

I have a "3rd" gen ipad and my other half has the mini retina. Just been using them side by side and I don't get this spongy screen... They feel the same.

Just received the Invision case from the rainforest and it's excellent
I've not had chance to put it on my iPad Mini Retina but certainly looks and feels up to the job and a bargain for £13.50!

Ended up getting a 32gb from a friend who didn't want an unopened one for a good price. I may end up with my 16gb from zavvi so if they send it on will put it on MM unopened for the price I paid if I can't return

I use the iPad 2 at work and the touch screen feels very stiff and doesn't flex, it really get tiring after a while.
The iPad Air like the Retina Mini feels softer, more forgiving. I actually really prefer the touch screen on the Air and Retina Mini for this sole reason. It still feels well built, and still responds just as well, simply feels more forgiving on the fingers

just be careful with ipad mini cases. The non-retina is slightly thinner so some cases don't fit. Anything clip-on probably won't fit.

I'd love to know what the deal is with these spongy iPad screens. I handle lots and they all feel the same to me.
Is this the new 'Safari seems snappier'?

I don't get it either, i tested out the iPad, iPad Air, iPad Mini and iPad Mini Retina. I don't understand the spongy screen or colour thing.

Same here in red. It's pretty good for the money. It fits the casing really well.
The screen feels like it is flexing slightly under pressure. Like I said earlier, it might be due to the size of it in comparison to my phone or the slight gap between the screen and the glass or a combination of the two.
Now I've had the iPad Mini Retina for a few weeks I don't notice it. It was just noticeable at first after coming from only using my HTC One.

I still don't get it lol.
I have a HTC one and a Mini Retina right next to me.. You punching the thing or something?

The iPad Screen and the covering glass have a small amount of air between them IIRC, I have read this is to reduce repair prices, as such it causes the sponge effect when you press it. I guess some can notice it more then others. The Mini also has a pretty low colour Gamut which is a bit annoying in 2014 for what is an all round premium device. If you compare it to the Air it really shows.

Completely agree, just had delivery of a 64GB retina and the screen feels spongy to me also.

Indeed, the lightness of the Air/mini is amazing but I somewhat miss the denseness of older versions.
