We expect a lot out of our iPad cases: open-to-wake, close-to-sleep functionality; the ability to prop up our tablets for typing or watching the latest episode of Downton Abbey; protection from nicks and scratches; and, of course, a little style. Moshi's new Versacover line ($50) for iPad mini delivers all that in a lightweight, minimal package, plus bright colors ready for Spring.

The überbendy cases impressed us on the MacWorld showroom floor, with its unique folding cover that acts as a stand in both portrait and landscape modes (which is hard to come by these days). The covers are superthin and soft to the touch, and are attached to a hard plastic translucent back cover that keeps the soft aluminum backing safe.

Take a peek at Moshi's Versacover protection for the iPad mini and check out all the colorful options available now.
