I just got this smart cover for my iPad 2. Mine is not awaken it,when I lift it. Did I do something wrong?

You need to go into your settings>general then turn on the iPad Cover Lock / Unlock.

  • How to use the Smart Cover for FaceTime and Videos?

    Hi,
    I bought a new iPad recently with a Smart Cover. I find the Smart Cover very good for typing, at the low angle. The angle is very nice, it feels very comfortable and it allows fast typing. But then what is called the FaceTime/Video angle seems way too steep for me, like 80 degrees. I need to be like 3 meters away, at least, to watch a movie correctly or to be captured by the FaceTime camera. I'm rather tall but still, I don't really get it. I thought for the first couple of days that I was folding the cover in a wrong way but it seems not.
    Am I the only one to experience this issue? Or is there another way of folding the cover to get a correct angle? I haven't tried another Smart Cover but I would doubt that mine is faulty. But if it is how the Smart Cover is designed, I'm surprised that Apple went with that, I mean, I can't see the use of this angle, if you need to be so far away from the iPad. I actually bought one (and the Smart Cover) to use it as a support for books/tutorials when I'm coding on my Mac, and I'm finding that I can't find a place for the iPad with the cover on my desk because it ends up to be too steep anywhere I place it...

    My experience is the same as yours (and everyone else's, I suppose.)
    Other than the various ways you can fold it, Smart Cover is not adjustable.
    This link shows what Smart Cover can do.
    You have already found the best workaround for Smart Cover: reposition yourself, the iPad, or both so the camera view shows what you want in the picture.
    You decide the best location for your iPad while you capture video.  Because iPad connects wirelessly, you need not worry about dangling cables.

  • How to repair the smart cover

    The hinge section of my smart cover has separated from the leather portion. Anyone know of an easy home repair?  Nothing damaged and just separated...

    just tried shoe goo with binder clips to hold it while drying.  looks like it'll work and if it doesn't I'll give the super glue a try.  (regular electrical or black duct tapes in small pieces won't hold at all)
    thanks!

    The setting for iPad cover lock/unlock is in settings > general for iPad 2.
    The iPad 2 and new iPad if both are using iOS 5.x or later the setting exist in settings > general.
    So, if you worked at an apple store I think you should have known that the setting exist.
    You are right, a hard reset (force restart) should only be used if iOS device is unresponsive or apps crashing...etc.
    But, a simple restart helps as well.

  • Is there a silicone skin that works with the Smart Cover??

    Got my iPad 2 last week and the only issue I have so far is finding a silicone skin that works in conjunction with the Smart Cover.  I need the grip the skin will provide but all those I've seen don't allow for the Smart Cover.  Any suggestions? The skin has to be thin so the iPad will fit into its case.
    Thanks!

    Hi PinkiPad:
    Take a look at the ACase cover on Amazon here; http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004YHWI7S.  I just purchased this cover and am very happy with it.  It fits well and provides full protection to the back of the iPad and works well with the Smart Cover.  It comes in black and clear.  I got the clear.  It is more of a frosted cover but you can still see the Apple logo and iPad markings through the cover, and the price was right.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I turn off the time?  The lock screen appears each time I open the smart cover.

    No matter which app I'm in, when I open the smart cover, the lock screen with the time shows.  This is on an iPad Air
    On my iPad Mini, it goes right to the app and skips the lock screen.
    It's sure nicer not to be reminded what time it is in the middle of the night--and not have the brighter lock screen flashed!

    Appreciate the reply.  The settings are identical, so that's not it!  I do not use the pass code lock, in any event.  The behavior I'm describing is, in fact, turns out to be unrelated to the lock settings! 
    It depends upon whether an alert has occurred after the last time you closed the cover!  In iOS 7, that will show the lock/unlock screen with the alert when you next open the cover.  In iOS 6, more properly, it will show the alert over the screen you were last looking at--no lock screen at all.
    On our iPad Mini, iOS 6, we do not use the calendar, so no alerts, and we never see the lock screen or its glaring time (count me among those who would rather not know it's 3am when I decide to read in the middle of the night!)   On the Air, we return to where we left off if there hasn't been an alert--but to the lock screen if there has been one!
    Truly wish that Apple would give us options as to displaying the time or not--on the lock screen and on the status bar!

  • Hi, I'm currently browsing the web looking for a case that is compatible with the smart cover for the iPad 2. If anyone has any suggestions I would be glad to read all opinions! Thanks!

    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.

  • Cant get the smart cover to click on to the ipad 2 anymore

    The smart cover doesnt come to place the right way on my ipad2 anymore. It stopped working. The magnets are there but its like they have been pushed to the side inside the ipad.

    The only way to fix this problem is: send it back to apple and order a new one...
    hope this helps

  • I want to know how to remove the back cover of my HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15 to install new memory?

    I want to know how to remove the back cover of my HP Product name: HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15 to install new memory?  All the HP website shows is how to remove memory covers.  Unfortunately, with newer models like mine, the whole back cover needs to be removed.  I have tried unsuccessfully to remove it but so far all that I have succeeded in doing is to scratch my cover.  So can anyone help???
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    The procedure is detailed starting on Page 67 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.
    Note:  I don't work for HP, but looking at the degree of disassembly required, I would say the procedure may well void the conditions of warranty.

  • 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.

  • I have scratch marks from the smart cover(polyurethane)

    I got this APPLE iPad2 early Febuary 2012 & now it's April. I took the smart cover off only twice. When I took it off today a piece of metal came off. Also the smart cover left a 2 marks on the side of the ipad & there's a dent on the magnetic strip on the smart cover. I do not have protection for this ipad. With the one year limited warranty does anyone know if APPLE could replace this or am I out of luck? I do not like how it looks seriously.

    I, i think I had the same problem as you ... I had a big scratch on the bottom of my iPad .. So I called apple and they set me an appointment at the apple store... At the apple store They did persist but they finally changed my iPad and my smart cover for new one ... I hope it helped you ...

  • How Well Does the Smart Case Protect the iPad Air if Dropped?

    Would it stop the tablet's screen from cracking from a drop of, say, chest height?

    How can anyone answer that?
    Depends on so many factors. What angle the iPad lands at. What surface it is dropped onto. The exact force applied to the screen on impact.
    You could drop a dozen iPads onto a floor identically, and they'd all suffer different damage ranging from none to catastrophic.
    Due to its design the Smart Cover is more effective at protecting the screen from being struck or scratched by objects hitting the screen.
    If you are considering dropping your iPad from chest height (or any height for that matter), I'd recommend not doing so.
