Thanks so much Beebers but I tried all the kiosks in MOE today and no joy! Will try MCC.
If I am lucky enough to make it to the Malls or Satwa in the next couple of days, I will let you know if I can confirm they have them for iPad mini. Good luck with MCC!
The mini has been out long enough that the random kiosks at the big malls like Mall of the Emirates, or even Dubai Mall, that sell iPhone and iPod Touch covers should have them. I can't speak of the quality, as I have never bought one, but that's the only type of place I have seen blingy ones.
