The 7.9-inch Apple iPad mini has just been officially announced, but case manufacturers seem to have expected it and are quickly coming up with beautiful cases to protect that gorgeous piece of unibody aluminum.

How do they manage to make those cases so quick you might wonder? Well, our guess is that since there were so many rumors about the upcoming 7.9-inch Apple tablet, companies made one big assumption and worked off of that. Plus, with so many different form factors in Android land, the process should be pretty much worked out.

It’s a totally separate question whether a device looks good with or without a case or a cover, but you can’t argue that as the mini lacks a Kickstand, most cases do a good job in doing exactly that, keeping your device up right.

But covers and cases also give an extra layer of protection and often times beauty to that glass screen. So here are some of the first cases for the iPad mini, check them out below.
