I was happy to have gotten a new iPad for my birthday (and I can use the Apple Pencil now! Great for my design work!) but was bemoaning the fact that my old iPad mini fit so perfectly in my NFTD.

Lo and behold, the new larger iPad tucks in just fine on top! I can live with that 🙂

EDIT: looks like my search fu in the Tom Bihn forums let me down. This (and much more good info) was discussed.  🙂
