So you got up early this morning and ordered yourself a spankin' new iPad Mini. Good for you! Sure, the iPad Mini might not be the best value, and that screen can be called pixel-poor, but there's still enough there that millions of people will buy one. Considering the fact that the iPad Mini is rolling with almost two-year-old guts, you might be looking to upgrade sooner than you'd like. Make that upgrade a lot easier on your wallet by reselling your iPad for as much as you can. The best way to get maximum resale value from your Apple goods is to baby them. And that means slapping a case on your iPad Mini the second it comes out of the box.
Today, Dealzmodo has worked with KayCases to bring you an awesome pre-order sale for iPad Mini cases. Today, with the code GIZ40OFF, all KayCases for the iPad Mini are 40% off. The KayCases Bookshelf Cover—that covers the entire screen—is only $7.80 today. For that price, you can buy five of them for the same price as one Smart Cover. If you do want to use a Smart Cover, you should be looking at the Slim Smart Gel Cover, which is only $7.80 today as well. If you want hardcore protection, you want the ArmorBox. It's only $15 and comes with a free case with the code BOGO4GIZ, if you want a slimmer option too. There's also an adorable option for kids that's on sale too. The cases should arrive by the time your iPad Mini gets to your door. [KayCases via Amazon]
