I have an iPad Mini that I put in an Otterbox because it's sometimes used to sedate my children in restaurants. It's taken a few pretty good thumps (and lots of greasy, sticky fingers) so far with no damage. The Otterbox is a tad bulky, but it's quite comfortable to hold.

As an aside, the Mini is also an amazingly credible mobile game platform. I had written off on-screen controls as garbage, but they actually work on the 8-inch screen. Games that were unplayable on my phone are downright enjoyable on the Mini.
