Rock Case iPad Mini 6 (A2567 A2568 A2569) Review: Stylish Protection for Your Tablet
Table of Contents
Introduction
The iPad Mini 6 is a powerful little tablet, and protecting it from the daily grind is crucial. Enter the Rock Case, a trifold smart cover designed specifically for the 2021 iPad Mini 6th generation (models A2567, A2568, and A2569). After several weeks of using this case, I’m ready to share my thoughts on its design, functionality, and overall protection.
Features and Design
The Rock Case boasts a unique textured PU leather front cover, which feels surprisingly premium for its price point. The texture provides a nice grip and prevents it from slipping easily. The translucent frosted PC+TPU back is a clever design choice, allowing the iPad’s color and Apple logo to shine through while still offering solid protection against scratches and drops. The built-in Apple Pencil holder is a welcome addition, securely holding my 2nd Gen Pencil. It’s worth noting that the Apple Pencil is NOT included.
The auto sleep/wake feature works flawlessly, instantly putting the iPad to sleep when closed and waking it when opened. The magnetic closure is strong enough to keep the case securely closed, but not so strong that it’s difficult to open.

Performance and Protection
In terms of protection, the Rock Case has exceeded my expectations. The combination of PU leather and PC+TPU provides excellent resistance against minor bumps and scratches. I’ve accidentally dropped my iPad Mini a couple of times from waist height, and the case has absorbed the impact without any damage to the tablet. The raised bezels around the screen and camera further enhance protection.
All ports, buttons, and speakers are easily accessible, and the case doesn’t interfere with the functionality of any features. The cutout for the charging port is perfectly sized, accommodating various charging cables without any issues.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Stylish design, good protection, built-in Apple Pencil holder, auto sleep/wake feature, affordable price.
- Cons: May not offer the highest level of drop protection from significant heights; the material might show wear and tear over prolonged use.
Final Verdict
Overall, the Rock Case for the iPad Mini 6 is a great value-for-money option. It offers excellent protection, a stylish design, and convenient features like the built-in Apple Pencil holder and auto sleep/wake functionality. While it might not be the most rugged case on the market, it’s more than sufficient for everyday use and protects against minor accidents. I would confidently recommend this case to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable way to protect their iPad Mini 6.
