## Description

Designed in Australia, the STM Dux case for iPad Mini 4 offers the perfect balance of heavy-duty protection and practical functionality. The Dux passes the Military Standard Drop Test (26 drop from 4 feet). The fitted bracket is made from super-durable polycarbonate that is reinforced with beefy, rubberized edges to provide an extra dose of confidence for even the most accident prone among us. The STM Dux also features a water-resistant polyurethane cover to ward off an occasional drip or spill. Just because the STM Dux is rugged doesn't mean that you need to sacrifice function, however. The protective cover doubles as an instant on/off smart cover that wakes and turns off the device. Fold the cover back, and the patent-pending magnetic closure secures itself for the perfect typing or viewing positions. A unique, clear panel covers the back of the device, which makes the Dux compatible for institutional asset tagging or customizing with your own images.

Review: Easy to use and sturdy - After breaking my last iPad by sitting on it accidentally, I wanted to make sure that the replacement fared better. It is much easier to use than the magnetic cover from Apple that I had been using - doesn't fall off if you look at it the wrong way and provides much more protection without making the iPad look like a brick. Very happy!
Review: Second time purchasing; we like it. - I had one for another ipad and liked it, despite that it is a bit awkward to hold. It has great corner and screen protection, a stable mount, and foolproof unlocking of the screen. It’s also lightweight and smallish; these qualities are important for my small hands.

### ⭐ Zero star. 1st amazing 2nd bad 3rd money lost
*by M***A on October 31, 2024*

Zero star. Third time buying it. Used the 1st for five or six years and only bought another because it was really falling apart. 2nd one had the red surface peeling off in few months. Third one arrived already falling apart. Just look at the pictures. STM lost quality over the years and now no quality at all had left. Only explanation possible would be a product fabricated years ago and stored for all this time until expiration date.
