Ultra-Thin TPU Protective Case Cover For Apple iPad Mini 4 Clear (IPM4-101-C) Review
Table of Contents
Introduction
The Apple iPad Mini 4 remains a popular choice for many, and protecting its sleek design is crucial. This review focuses on the Ultra-Thin TPU Protective Case Cover (model number IPM4-101-C) for the Apple iPad Mini 4, a clear case promising slim protection against daily wear and tear. I’ve been using this case for the past few weeks, subjecting it to the rigors of everyday life to provide you with a comprehensive and honest assessment.
Features
The IPM4-101-C case boasts a minimalist design. Its ultra-thin profile adds minimal bulk to the iPad Mini 4, retaining its portability. The claim of being made from a transparent TPU material proves accurate; it’s clear and allows the iPad’s color to shine through. Access to all ports and buttons is readily available, thanks to precisely cut-out openings. The anti-dust material is a welcome addition, although its long-term effectiveness will need further evaluation.
Performance
In terms of protection, the case provides a surprisingly good level of scratch resistance. I’ve dropped my iPad Mini 4 a couple of times (accidentally, of course!), and the case has successfully absorbed the impact. The TPU material is flexible, preventing cracks and chips. The case’s lightweight nature makes it easy to forget it’s even there. The tactile buttons provide good feedback, and accessing the charging port remains effortless. While the anti-dust claim is valid, it’s not a miracle worker; some dust still manages to find its way inside, but significantly less than without the case.
Installation is truly hassle-free – simply slide the iPad in. Removing the case is just as easy. However, due to the slim profile, the case offers minimal protection against significant drops or falls from considerable heights. It is primarily designed to protect against minor scratches and bumps that are commonplace in daily usage.

Pros & Cons
- Pros: Ultra-thin design, lightweight, easy installation and removal, good scratch protection, maintains easy access to all ports and buttons, affordable.

Final Verdict
The Ultra-Thin TPU Protective Case Cover (IPM4-101-C) for the Apple iPad Mini 4 offers a decent level of protection for everyday use. If you’re looking for a slim, clear case that adds minimal bulk and protects against scratches and minor bumps, this is a solid option. However, users seeking robust drop protection should look for a more heavy-duty case. I would recommend this case for users who prioritize a slim profile and ease of use over extreme drop protection. It’s a good value for money, especially considering its price point.
