One thing I just realized - the Smart Cover comes in a little white box. Apple has done some interesting things with little white boxes in the past. Like the new Ear Pods - that box is the exact shape and dimensions of an iOS icon. So I started looking at this box, and it hit me - so I measured it, and sure enough, this Smart Cover box is EXACTLY as thick as the iPad mini will be!! So if you want to get a feel for the iPad mini, turn that packing box for your Smart Cover over and put the Smart Cover on top. That's the thinness of the Mini. Can't wait for Friday!
