IPad 2 smart cover sleep/lock problems?

Been using my iPad for a good month now.  I'm loving it.  I have noticed that using the smart cover, you have to have the pass code on in order for the cover to put the device into sleep/wake.  When I have the passcode setting off, the smart cover aligned to device fine but does not give the audible click upon closing.  When passcode if off, I also notice a higher battery drain versus the lock code turned on and I hear the sound click.  Do I have a defective cover?  Suggestions??

Mine has worked fine.  What model do you have, the leather or the other?  I've read of others using screen protectors like Zagg absorbing some of the dye.  Of course considering the cost they are to produce ($12 is what I read for the leather) it doesn't surprise me some of the dye is coming out.  I have wiped my black leather down with high grade leather cleaner / oil and you can clearly see it on the rag.

    Smart Cover isn't functioning correctly.  When lid is in place I can still see my iPad on with screen light.  No click sound after lid is place also.  I have remove the Smart Cover and fitted it to my iPad but still Smart Cover sleep mode is not working. 

    Go to Settings>General and make sure the switch to iPad Smart Cover On/Off is set to On.

  • Ipad smart cover auto unlock clock and status bar issue after ios7

    Im using an ipad mini with apples smart cover (auto lock/unlock enabled), it used to show the lockscreen(before swipe) whenever I opened the case, but after ios7,whenever I open the case,its already swiped and I have tu enter my code.
    the bug is that you have no clock in the status bar on the code screen. whichs forces you to enter your code each time you open the cover just for checking the time! or swiping back to the lockscreen. 
    any fixes?

    I know.. it was better in iOS 6..
    To make the clock (time) appear without entering the code simply Tap the Screen once.
    For example:
    While holding the ipad in the landscape position peel the cover open just enough to get your thumb under the cover and tap just below the battery indicator.

  • IPad (4th Gen) What is a good case that goes with the "iPad Smart Cover"?

    Hi,
    I'm currently looking for a case that covers the aluminum back that also goes with the iPad Smart Cover. Thanks!

    I've bought a ton of back covers. It's been hard trying to find the right one. I've settled on two really good ones though:
    Caudabe Shell: This one's my daily driver, so to speak. I've got the frost version and it looks really good and has held up really well. Price is very reasonable too.
    Switcheasy Cover Buddy: I like this one as well. Only thing is that they don't seem to have a frost version. They just have opaque colors, which I'm not a huge fan of. This is also a little bit more expensive than the Caudabe cover.

  • TS2634 Why would my ipad Smart Cover suddenly stop charging?

    HHI my ipad Smart Cover suddenly has stopped charging when I close it. Can anyone give me a reason it might do that?

    Gotcha...figured it was worth mentioning.
    What I would do next (provided you've exhausted everything else) would be to backup the device using iTunes...backup your media as well. Then restore the device as new, not using any backup. After the initial setup, don't install any apps or media. Test for the issue. If the issue is present after restoring as new, that a good indication that there's a hardware issue. If the issue is not present after restoring as new, the issue a likely a botched/borked setting somewhere in the backup of the iPad. In this case (and assuming you want to clear the issue), you'll have to rebuild your device (apps media, settings, everything) from the restored as new state. This won't be pleasant or enjoyable but it may need to be done if you want to clear the issue. I had to do this recently to clear a different issue and I know it's not easy, especially all of the settings involved. I may have it a bit easier than most since I keep my iPads pretty empty...my 16 GB devices have more than 8 GB free on average (3 - 4 GB used).

  • IPad smart cover cannot come on

    my iPad smart cover connot stick together pleasget some instucions to put my smart cover on!!!!

    If you look at your Smart cover, there are 3 places where it's thinner to allow the cover to fold up and be used as a stand.  Since these parts don't touch the screen, the screen doesn't get cleaned right there.  If you remove the cover and fold it with the microfiber side facing out, you can wipe it across the screen for a complete cleaning.

  • HT204158 how do you fold an iPad smart cover to prop up the iPad?

    I have seen the iPad smart cover folded so that you can prop up the iPad to watch a movie.  How do you do that?

    You basically just "roll up" the cover. See the video included on this page:

  • Smart Cover Sleep problems

    I have an iPad 2 and a polyurethane smart cover. Sometimes when I open the cover, the iPad wakes up then dims the display indicating it's going back to sleep. I just open the cover and it pretty much prepares itself for sleep mode right after. Is this normal? Is it a bug in the OS? Does anyone else have this issue?

    I have this issue, too. In my opinion, it's a software bug, but is only my opinion. Do you have notices about this?

  • How can a new iPad smart cover of polyurethane having moister problems

    I bought the New iPad with a smart cover, Now after 3 months one side of the smart cover is getting lose and I sent it bach to the store after investigation he said apple doesnot give any garantee becos of moister issues. How is this possible as polyurethane doesnot absorbe moister.
    What can I do?

    Yea, I know, I figured it out shortly after. I feel kinda silly now but it just seemed too easy after all the fuss with Apple support. Like I said, if they don't really know what their talking about they go off in all sorts of crazy directions. I wasn't even having Compressor issues like so many others do (told ya my computer never lets me down). Not sure what the lesson here was, Apple Care is usually pretty helpful (or atleast moreso than other tech supports), but next time I'm having trouble with anything remotely music related they will be the last ones I call.
         By the way, thanks for the reply anyway and reading my lenghty complaining. I really needed to blow off some steam after that needless ruckus.

  • Smart Cover bypasses lock screen

    Am I going mad?
    I'm sure that when I opened my Smart Cover it used to take me to the lock screen?  Now it unlocks the ipad and returns me to the last page I was looking at even if I lock it before closing the Smart Cover.
    Did ios7 change it or am I doing something else wrong?

    Nope. Closing the Smart Cover puts the iPad to sleep and opening it wakes the iPad again. If you have a passcode set to lock at some specific interval and that interval ends while the iPad is sleeping it will, upon opening the Smart Cover present the number pad to unlock the iPad.
