3. Barbour Julie Dodsworth iPad Mini British Waterways case

Pretty floral cases that also function as stands are hard to come by, but this countryside-inspired book-style cover from Julie Dodsworth for Barbour ticks both the ‘twee’ and ‘useful’ boxes.

£24.95 from Barbour

4. Belkin LEGO Builder Case for iPad Mini

This kind of brand innovation doesn’t come cheap, but hey – YOU CAN BUILD LEGO ON IT.
