Pretty kool.
The sound was weird and scratchy the first time, but after rebooting, it sounds fine now.

I'd pay the big price for the original case...

The iPad (2*) Mini pricing makes sense since..
iPod (AKA iPad Nano*) is 299.99
iPad 2.1/2.4 Refurb. is 319.99
iPad Mini is 329.99
My guess was 349.99
How did you guess 299.99?
