Leather Smart Cover for iPad Mini?

I hope Apple creates a leather version of the Smart Cover for the iPad MIni.
The polyurethane version - while effective - feels rather cheap and flimsy.
Surely, it would be quite easy for Apple to design a leather version.
Perhaps they are waiting to release it with the Retina version of the iPad mini.
Fingers crossed.

Apple has not announced such a cover that I've seen, and until they do, none of us will know more than you do. You can express your desire for such a cover here, if you wish:

  • Apple iPad 2 Smart Cover For iPad 1

    Helo folks
    Since no difference between first and sec gen. Of pad's screen , length and width sizes, i want to get a ipad 2 smart cover for my original ipad 1 , possible ? .. It should
    ?

    The display size and resolution are the same, the iPads themselves are not exactly the same dimension. Also, the new iPad has magnets inside of it help the smart cover attach itself to the new model.
    You would be wasting your money, the Smart Cover is for the iPad 2 only.

  • Smart Cover for iPad Air does not stay closed

    The iPad Air Smart Cover is a different design to the previous versions of the Smart Cover, it has no metal spine on the left side and the magnets do not appear to be as strong as the previous versions. Presumably Apple has done this to reduce the production cost, and increase profits.
    The result of this is that if one holds the iPad with the spine of the cover in the left had and the thumb on the first section of the cover and then tips the iPad over to the left the cover opens when the iPad is tipped past the vertical, towards the left side. This is made worse  when the iPad is fitted with a third party back protector case which fits over the front edge slightly.
    This problem did not exist with the earlier iPads and their Smart Covers. We have an iPad 2 and iPad 3 both fitted out with Smart Covers and third party back covers. Both of these can be tipped over completely, upside-down, while holding them (in the manner described above) and they do not open.
    We tried our new iPad Air Smart cover on other iPad Airs at the store (not Apple) and we also tried other Smart Covers on our iPad Air. They all had the same problem.
    The only fix will be if Apple recognise the problem and improve the design of the Smart Cover
    NOTE: We also tried the Smart Case and this had the same problem.
    So, my questin is to Apple: When will I be able to exchange the Smart Cover for an updated version that does not have this problem?

    I also have an iPad Air, and a genuine Apple Air Smart Cover. Cover stuck fine in the closed position (even if upside down) for several months. Cover also stuck to the right hand back of the iPad Air when open and folded back, even if upside down.
    About a week ago, the right hand edge of the cover started being slightly repelled from the right hand edge iPad Air when closed. This left the iPad at risk of not actuating the on off switch, or at least being very sensitive to any movement.
    The cover still stuck to the back of the iPad Air when open and folded back.
    I believe Apple have magnets in the right hand edge of the cover, not just a passive strip of iron. If so, the polarity between back and front of the cover will be opposite. I believe Apple are somehow arranging the magnets in the right hand side of the iPad Air to change position depending on whether the cover is closed on the front, or open and folded to the back. I suspect Apple somehow allow the magnets in the iPad Air to pivot or move to provide a decent attraction both front and back regardless of cover polarity.
    When I get hold of some magnetic viewing film I will check the magnet locations further.
    My iPad Air went back to attracting the cover to both front and back a day or so ago. I had made no alterations. This correction happened after leaving the cover closed (and hovering mid air by a milimetre or two) overnight.
    I believe the problem is in the iPad Air, not in the Smart Cover.

  • Will there be a leather smart cover for the iPad air?

    Right now Apple only offers polyurethane smart covers. I really liked the 'look&feel' of the former iPad's leather smart covers. Are there any plans of releasing those for the new air?

    You will know as soon as anybody else. Apple do not announce their product intentions.

  • I'm confused about buying used smart cases for iPad mini 1, 2, and 3.

    I'm trying to buy used smart covers for the iPad mini 1, 2, and 3 but I'm not sure which smart cover versions will fit which mini.
    So far, in pink, I've been able to find MGNN2ZM/A and MF061ZM/A. But I want all the other colors too.
    MacMall.com says MGNN2ZM/A is compatible with iPad mini 1, 2, and 3 and MF061ZM/A is compatible with iPad mini 1 and 2. (Apple doesn't provide the part numbers on their web page)
    Basically, I could really use a list of iPad mini, iPad and iPad Air accessories' parts numbers,  and the device/cover compatibilities, if such a list exists.
    Eventually, I want to buy smart covers in every color for iPad 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (Air), and 6 (Air 2).
    Thank you for your help in advance ^^

  • Why only leather Smart Cases for iPad Air 2?

    Why do Apple only sell the more expensive leather Smart Cases than the cheaper plastic Smart Cases? The price for leather case can be a little to expensive. Do anyone know why they only sell the leather ones? And is the leather case worth to buy even with the high price?

    I was also surprised by this. I'm not a fan of leather but I orderd the new Smart Case. I love having the Smart Cover and definitely needed something on the back to make my iPad less likely to slither off smooth surfaces.
    I love the new Smart Case. The fit and finish is superb and it provides some nice edge and corner protection. Great Midnight Blue color also. It's well worth the money for me.

  • Can Smart cover Damages ipad mini's SPEAKERS ?

    HI am from India,
    I was using a Smart cover since 7 Months. It was iOS 6 when i started using it Now i Updated my iPad mini to iOS 7 and i experienced the Distortion in Left Speaker everytime whenever i use to restart my Device & Destortion was use to clear automatically when i restarted device again. So i was just curious about this. So i just want to know is there any relation between Smart cover's Magnet and the speakers ?
    Note :I dont know the Smart cover is Original Or Duplicate.I restored iOS 7 from service center and now theres not problem YET. So now i was just thinking wether i use smart cover Or not ?

    An easy way to tell if the cover is affecting your speakers is to remove it and use the device as you normally do. If the cover is/was indeed affecting your device's speakers, then you'll get no distortion and continue to get no distortion. Then go back and use the device with the cover again to see if you again get the distortion. Do this "with cover"/"without cover" a few times to verify. This is also known as "the process of elimination".
    If the cover is causing the issue (not likely in my opinion), your ultimate solution is to get a new cover.

  • ICase Smart Cover For iPad What Do you Think?

    Just come across this iCase
    http://www.icasecovers.com/ and wondering if any of you have used it?
    Cheers

    Restart - hold the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut down. To power up - hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset - Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider.
    Restore - Hold off on that one for now
    You can try this as well - close open apps from the task bar. Double tap the home button and the task bar appears with all of your recent apps. Tap and hold down on one of the icons until they all wiggle. Then tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the icon to close the app. Close all of the apps in the task bar. Then restart your iPad as described above.

  • Soft back for iPad Mini Retina?

    Having moved from a Nexus 7 to the Mini, I miss the soft padded back on the Nexus. I did purchase the leather Smart Cover for the Mini, but it's a bit more than I need. Does anyone know if there's a soft 'leatherette' back? I'd ever consider a gel-like material, though I've found them too grippy and artificial feeling in the past.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you. I'll return the 10,000mah and order the 15,000.  I wonder how many times I can charge my iPad with it.

  • Clicking magnets inside of iPad Air after using Smart Cover for some time

    I have read that many people experience clicking magnets inside of iPad Air after using Apple Smart Cover for some time.
    I experienced the same thing and returned the device to the shop where i bought it, while still having the warranty.
    They wrote me after 11 days of having my iPad that it is fixed and i can come for it, i was not yet there.
    Please tell me, how can i realize that they warranty serviced my iPad?
    I have read that many people get new device with same issue, and mine just got fixed somehow...
    It is not Apple Store it is Apple Premium Reseller, was their service OK or they just did not wanted to give me new device?
    How can i get to know they were acting correctly?
    Thanks for the answer

    Everything is OK, they gave my whole new iPad Air

    I love the Smart Cover. It fits the way I work and I love the instant on/off and the always available screen protection. I wouldn't use my iPad without it.
    I got a Cover Buddy for the back, because I wanted the back to be less slippery when I'm using the iPad in the classroom, teaching. I picked this back cover because it's VERY lightweight, easy to get on or off and, protects the corners, has accurate cutouts for the ports, and (in the colors) has a rubberized surface:

    I have a Built NY "hoody" slip on case with a hard internal shell that I use when I'm in the field and I can put the iPad with the Smart Cover and the Cover Buddy inside this . But for everyday use, the Smart Cover with the Cover Buddy is a terrific combination.

    I have a smart cover for my iPad which works brilliantly, but I don't know how to clean it ? I was very naive in choosing the "cream" colored one and now it doesn't look so neat ... Any ideas ?

  • RED smart cover for new iPad

    Hi guys,
    Does RED leather smart cover available outside US?
    Perhaps Singapore?
    Thanks before :)

    Actually I live in Indonesia, on the website, it shows the red leather smart case as well. Unfortunately, it's not available in any reseller here and there's no apple store in Indonesia. Shipping is also unavailable for Indonesian region. So I'm just wondering if it's available in store at singapore's store or reseller.
    Thanks btw. :)
