The Gamevice is a form-fitting controller case designed exclusively for the iPad Mini by Wikipad, the makers of a well-regarded Android gaming tablet.

As previously mentioned, the Gamevice will connect to the iPad over Lightning, and is being designed in versions both with and without an integrated backup battery.

Unfortunately, specific pricing and release date information is still unknown, although the Gamevice is targeted at this holiday season, and will be priced “to be as aggressive as possible without giving it away.”

The Gamevice is quite far in development, with members of the press already having been given access to demonstrations and hands-on sessions. This latest change appears to be mostly cosmetic, changing the Wii-U-esque white into a more “gamer” friendly black.

I don’t know about you, but this is WAY up on my list of most anticipated products this year. For gamers (such as myself) who primarily game on the iPad Mini, this is about as close to perfection as you can get.
