So they sell a normally overpriced accessory.....which doesn't offer any meaningful protection.....so they can offer repair and warranty, at an additional cost.
A suggestion for a better accessory is the Moshi Versacover. It has front, back, and edge protection. As well as a foldable cover which converts into a stand, but unlike the single upright position that Apple's cover has, Moshi's cover has 3 different positions that are much more stable due to the increased surface area.
And at MSRP, Moshi's Versacover is cheaper than Apple's Cover.

at the same time, maybe i shouldn't be using an ipad at all to limit my screen time
It's actually way better. What I didn't understand is that it attached magnetically while all the amazon cheap ones surround the sides of the mini, which makes it bulkier and hard to take off, while slowing wireless charging to the pencil.
This one is also very thin, and when you fold it back to open it, it adds almost no thickness unlike the amazon cases.
Ended up buying one of these for each of our family's minis.

I had an ESR trifold smart cover case on the iPad Air 3, and it worked well. It provided the tri-fold cover protection and stand features like Apple's Smart Folio case, but the iPad snapped into a clear shell for protection on the back and sides. Zero complaints.
I ordered the same style ESR case for the iPad Air 5--but I am not as happy with it. With the case covering the more squared off edges of the 5th gen, it is not as comfortable or nice to hold in the hand as the 3rd gen. The sleep/wake and volume buttons are also more difficult to interact with. The volume buttons are covered by buttons on the case, making them more difficult to press--I think their low profile and lesser amount of travel cause this. Sleep-wake being recessed in a cut-out in the case makes it a less reliability hit target for Touch ID.
The case functions well as designed, I just don't think the design of the Air 5 lends itself well to that wrap around style of case. I'm going to pick up a Smart Folio---once I find a deal--as I think using the bare iPad will be a better experience, and having protection in a bag or for setting on a table, etc will be sufficient. I handle iPads more like laptops than phones---so it's not as likely to be dropped or damaged on the unprotected edge as my iPhone may be, for example.
