Apple had an insoluble problem, and they failed to fit the iPad Mini into a man's suit, sportcoat, or blazer inside chest pocket.

  Apple iPad Mini width (Apple specs):   134.7 mm

  Man's jacket inside pocket (size 41R): 124.0 mm

  Google Nexus 7 width (Google specs):   120.0 mm
Result: the Nexus 7 with comfortable bezels fits very neatly in the pocket of any jacket I'm wearing (and I carry it there all the time invisibly);

The iPad Mini with troublesome bezel will not fit into any of those same jacket pockets.

Such a tiny difference, but it separates Nexus convenience from iPad Mini serious inconvenience (note that the thickness makes no difference here).
