For those who prefer shopping for their electronics from brick and mortar locations, so they can get a hands-on before acquiring a device, we have good news.

Apple’s iPad Air and Mini have hit the physical Staple stores, after having previously been available only online, reports Ubergizmo.

So from now, customers dropping in for a visit in Staple stores will be able to pick up the iPad Air starting $499 / €365, while the Retina enhanced iPad Mini’s rates climb up from $399 / €292.

On top of that, if you have an older iPad lying around, you can now trade it in at Staples and receive $300 / €219 in exchange and 5% back in rewards credits.

Apparently, not all Staple stores are fully stocked with both models, so you might want to make a phone call to your local retail store beforehand, to spare you a from making a sterile trip down there.
