This is a case for the iPad mini 6. It's said that cases for the latest iPad mini (A17) can be used with the same size models, but I haven't actually tested it, so users of the A17 should use it at their own risk. The back is made of semi-transparent hard plastic, allowing the body to be seen through it. The cover can be folded and used as a stand. I was planning to use it myself, but I ended up storing it without using it. Thank you.
