Compatible Case with Smart Cover

I just got the iPad 2 16 GB with wifi only. I also got a leather smart cover for it. My question is...are there any covers out there that will protect the back of the iPad and still be able to use the smart cover? I did a quick search on amazon and did not come up with too many results.
Also, I'm looking for a screen protector, which models would you recommend? I noticed some protectors worsen the resolution.

ditch the smart cover and get the targus 360 case it is awesome. I got it from amazon. I saw someone with one over the weekend and I ordered mine the same night. received it yesterday and the rest is history. It protects the front and back
Too bulky for me. I have an Otterbox Defender on my iPad 1 and decided to get the iPad2 primarily because of the decrease in size/weight.
I don't want to add back the weight/size with a cover/case so I have the black leather smart cover and an Xgear clear rear plastic shell. Works great, size is only slightly increased and effectively protects the rear.
When I first saw the smart cover I asked myself what happens if the microfiber of the smart cover picks up a bit of grit--will it grind a scratch in the display. To cover this possibility I have the PowerSupport HD anti-glare protective film on order to be delivered Monday. I've tried several different brands of protective film on my iPhone4 and my original iPad and for me the PowerSupport was the best.
There are others supplying similar rear covers but Xgear was shipping soonest so I went with them. All of the suppliers providing rear snap on covers do so in several different colors. The best thing for me about the Xgear was it passed the "Wife" test

    Best case for iPad 2 compatible with smart cover?

    There are a lot of options, depending on your needs and aesthetics, and some users just use a skin on the back. Do you want a case or a cover?
    I like using the iPad with just the Smart Cover, but I needed something for the back to make the iPad less slithery for teaching, so I just got this Cover Buddy back cover, which I love:
    http://www.switcheasy.com/products/CoverBuddy/
    It is rubberized like the front cover, comes in compatible colors (mine is blue), weighs almost nothing, has well-designed dugouts for all the openings, and is easy to put on and remove. There is also a clear option.
    For field work or traveling, I have a neoprene case from Built NY which has a rigid interlinear to protect the back and sides. My iPad, with or without Smart Cover or back cover, just slips into this case.

  • IPhone dead after resting on iPad with smart cover

    Last night I set my fully charged iPhone 4s on top of my iPad2 with smart cover and went to bed (both powered on).  This morning my phone was completely dead.  Does this have something to do with the magnets in the iPad/smart cover, or is this just signal interference between the devices?

    Probably neither, just coincidence. Plug in the phone to the wall charger for 15 minutes, then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears.

    I use the i-Blason Cushion Sleeve. The iPad Mini fits great and there is a little zipper pouch for a charger and stylus.

  • Case that works with smart cover on?

    Has anyone seen any shells or cases that work with the smart cover on? I have only come across one.
    Thanks

    SF Bags, aka Waterfield Designs, has several designs made to fit the iPad 2 with the Smart Cover. I, too, have the original Ultimate Exo Sleevecase, but it is a bit large for the iPad 2. They recommend buying the "non-Exo" Ultimate case for the IPad 2.
    One case that I particularly like is the SmartCase, and they make a model that fits with iPad 2 with the Smart Cover; it has a pouch on the back for earphones, etc.. I have a similar one for my iPhone and it is very well-made and offers a lot of protection.
    They have seven different iPad cases and several are designed specifically for the iPad 2 with the SmartCover.
    If you have any questions, you can write them, and they answer them promptly.

  • IPad 2 cases for smart cover

    Any suggestions for a back cover for an iPad 2 with a smart cover?

    I did A TON of reasearch and I've narrowed down this choice to two options that work perfectly for home, travel and professional use.  I rotate between the two. 
    (1) Smart Cover Set Up:  II love my smart cover, but I only had to see a friend drop his iPad once to know the back needed protection.  I didn't want to loose the slim esthetics of the device, so this thin, clear back cover has been perfect.  I've had at least 5 friends buy the same one.

    (2) CrownCase Black Leather:  It is really faux leather, but it works for me.  It is the highest rated case on Amazon and it's as good as advertised.  This case fits perfectly, allows access to all controls, and doesn't impete the speaker.  Love it!

  • Some bugs on lock screen with smart cover

    On iOS 6 when you flip smart cover iPad automatically prompts you for password and you can see time on the center of the status bar. On first iOS 7 releases you cant see time in such scenario. But after 7.0.3 update I have found that when iPad prompts for password you can slide a little and time suddenly appears, every time you do this time is blinking like it getting bold. And when you finally unlock screen font and icons in status bar is getting a little bit smaller. With all of this iOS 7.0.3 looks like it is still beta.

    Hello Rond27,
    You can adjust whether your smart cover will lock and unlock your device at the following location.
    Set your iPad Smart Cover or iPad Smart Case to lock and unlock iPad. Go to Settings > General, then turn on Lock/Unlock.

  • Ipad sleeve with smart cover

    Hi,
    I am looking for some type of sleeve for my ipad when I travel to/from work on my motorcycle. The plan would be to have the ipad in the saddlebag, but have a bit of extra protection from vibration and such. I have a smart cover and the thin back protector installed. I would like something with some extra space to keep those on and just slide the ipad into the sleeve.
    Thanks

    I would just find a generic neoprene sleeve. Look at office supply stores or the such.

  • IOS 7 not working with Smart Cover

    I have 3ipad minis and a iPad 2 and we have updated to iOS 7 on the three iPad minis and none of them now auto switch off when you use a Smart Cover however on the iPad 2 with the Smart Cover it turns off after two sec is there a problem with the new ios7

    Just need to change the setting
    Open Settings > General > Lock/Unlock
    Change the switch to on (as noted in small print below switch)

  • How long should battery last with smart cover closed?

    I charged my battery yesterday, closed the smart cover, and today my battery is dead and I didn't use the iPad at all.  Is this normal?

    On mine it says "Wake for Network Access". That would be one.
    on mine this is only on the "Power adapter" tab, not the "Battery" tab.
    I may lose a couple of percent battery power per 24 hours when my MBP is in
    sleep mode. I have nothing connected (external drives, etc.). And a good
    battery.
    wow! Something is definitely wrong here.
    Unless you have a bad battery, I think there's something running on your MBP
    in the background that's not letting your MBP go to sleep. I've had that
    happen with a couple of programs. And once with Flash (the worst piece of
    programming ever).
    As an experiment, try to shut down every program running. Kind of defeats the
    purpose of sleep.
    oh boy. ok thanks.

  • ICal alerts don't work with smart cover closed?

    Is this by design?  If I have an event set for an alarm in ical, then i have my smart cover closed to cover the iPad...the alarm won't go off until I lift the smart cover.  It could be an hour or so past the event, but I won't know that until I open the cover.  This basically eliminates the use of using iCal alert system.
    Am I missing something?  Would love for the alarm to go off to remind me of meetings etc regardless if the smart cover is closed or not.
    Thanks for any advice.

    Alarms beep on my iPad 2 with the cover closed.  You must not have it set up correctly.  Is Calendar included in your Notification Center alerts?  Mine is set for Alerts, Badge App Icon ON, and View in Lock Screen ON.

  • My ipad 3 won't go to sleep with Smart Cover or no cover at all

    AFter installing iOS 7 my iPad 3 won't go to sleep after closing it's Smart Cover or no cover at all regardless of how long it goes unused.

    Hi Gamguyphil,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    I would suggest you check the settings for the Smart Cover -- perhaps toggle the Lock option on & off. 
    See page 10 of the iPad User Guide below:
    manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1595/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
    If that does not resolve the issue, then follow these steps:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    For additional troubleshooting if necessary, see page 119 in the iPad User Guide above to Reset All Settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset, then choose an option:
    Reset All Settings: All your preferences and settings are reset.
    Cheers,

  • IPad (4th gen) screen scrambled (static) with smart cover.

    Hello-
    The screen on my iPad becomes scrambled when connecting/disconnecting smart cover.  (image attached) I am afraid that something has been damaged by the magnets.  Is there a solution to fix this?  I could not find much help doing various searches.
    Thank you

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • I have an iPad air with Smart Cover. The Smart Cover switches off the ipad, but when it is lifted, the lock screen appears rather than just starting again

    Depending on your Settings this is normal behavior. Check the Settings app as JimHdk suggested.
