HT4101 Which is better Ipad smart cover or case

I am getting a new Ipad 3rd Gen 32GB and I wonder if it is a good thing to purchase either a smart cover or case?  Another question I have is it wise to get a wireless keyboard?

There is no one right answer -- it's like asking what kind of car you should buy.
The smart cover only convers the front.  The smart case has the front cover and adds covering for the back and sides.
Whether you should get a wireless keyboard depends on how much typing you do, as well as how easy or difficult it is for you to use the on-screen keyboard.

  • Which cover is better whether smart cover or smart case

    which cover is better whether smart cover or smart case

    It is really a choice to personal preference.
    The Smart Cover provides some protection for the front of the device but no side/back protected. However, the Smart Cover is much more easier to use in my opinion and makes the device feel better.
    The Smart Case provides all around protection for your iPad and is worth getting. It is not as tough as some of the crazy cases out their that like protect from 100ft drops lol.
    So, just go to the Apple store and talk to a representative and he/she will help you out!

  • 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.

  • IPad smart cover ripping at sides

    My iPad smart cover at the sides is breaking and separating. I lost the receipt will apple still give me a new one if I take it back With out the receipt?

    Mine has been good thank god, but I know with the smart cover they were having problems with the early ones. I read somewhere that people even without a receipt could go in for an exchange. You never know.

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • What is the warranty on an iPad Smart Cover purchased in India?

    I purchased a smart cover along with the new iPad in India from an Apple Authorized reseller. I was wondering what is the warranty offered for genuine Apple accessories purchased from an Apple Authorized reseller in India, in particular the Smart Cover. There should be a simple "Yes or No" answer to this question.
    According to Apple, they offer a one year warranty for all Apple accessories. http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/products/accessory-english.html
    And yet, I was denied warranty coverage by the AASP and Service Center stating that Smart Covers are not covered under this warranty.
    To extend the question:
    1) Is the Apple Smart Cover NOT an Apple Accessory?
    2) If it is an Apple Accessory, then is it not subject to the same warranties granted for all Apple Accessories?
    3) If there is an undisputed understanding that a smart cover is flawed, should the smart cover be replaced within one year?

    King is nearly absolutely right. When you restore your iPhone in iTunes (Restore iPhone), new software is downloaded and installed on your iPad. However, if you "Erase All Content and Settings," this simply does what it says. It removes whatever you have on your iPad and wipes it allowing you to start fresh.
    It's important to note that this does not install new software on your iPad. If you are having trouble with your iPad and are attempting to restore to troubleshoot or resolve an issue, it's always best to restore from iTunes for new software.

    In regards to your device not being recognized by iTunes, King hit the money. The article he linked will absolutely resolve that issue providing the issue isn't with your computer's hardware or software and isn't related to Apple's products in any way.
