Finding a case that balances rugged protection with a lightweight, minimalist aesthetic has always been a challenge for iPad mini users. Belkin is taking aim at that sweet spot with the Infinity Folio, an all-new protective case built specifically for Apple’s smallest tablet.

Designed to adapt on the fly, the Infinity Folio pairs a translucent shell with a modular magnetic cover that pulls double duty as a multi-angle stand.

A Modular Magnetic Stand Built to Flex

The defining feature of the Infinity Folio is its two-piece design. Rather than permanently locking the iPad into a bulky folio, Belkin uses a magnetic hinge system that lets the front cover snap off in seconds.

  • Multi-Angle Flexibility: An integrated kickstand locks into high upright angles for FaceTime calls or media streaming, as well as lower angles optimised for note-taking, sketching, or typing.

  • Rock-Solid Stability: The magnetic hinge prevents wobbling or accidental collapses under pressure.

  • Tested Durability: Belkin rates the hinge mechanism for over 10,000 cycles, ensuring it holds up against daily wear and tear.

When it is time to read an ebook or use the mini handheld, simply detach the cover and hold just the lightweight shell.

Heavy-Duty Protection Without Hiding the Hardware

Instead of masking the iPad mini’s sleek aluminium finish, the back panel features a frosted, anti-scratch polycarbonate design that lets the native colour show through.

Underneath the minimalist look lies serious impact resistance:

  • 2-Metre Drop Protection: Tested to withstand drops from up to 6.6 feet (2 metres).

  • Reinforced TPU Bumpers: Impact-absorbing thermoplastic polyurethane lines the perimeter, with extra reinforcement at high-risk corners.

  • Screen & Camera Defence: Raised bezels keep the glass display and camera lens elevated off flat surfaces.

Thoughtful Details

Belkin also integrated quality-of-life features tailored to how people actually use the iPad mini:

  • Smart Sleep/Wake: Embedded magnets automatically put the iPad to sleep when closed and wake it instantly upon opening, preserving battery life on the go.

  • Pencil-Ready: A dedicated cutout ensures the Apple Pencil attaches seamlessly for magnetic pairing and wireless charging.

  • Precision Cutouts: Full, unobstructed access to the Touch ID top button, speakers, and USB-C port.
