Ipad 2 dimming after smart cover is opened

Why does my ipad's screen dim after I open the smart cover? Then I have to touch it first so it wakes up

I don't have the iPad2 so I can't use the Smart Cover (don't think I would choose to use it anyway from what I have read about it) but I thought this was interesting ....
What happens if you remove the Smart Cover completely - i.e. don't use it at all - and power the iPad up using the Power switch. Do you get the same problem then? The iPad has an ambient light sensor too that measures how bright it is where the iPad is being used - it turns up the screen brightness when it's bright to make the screen easier to read and turns down the brightness when it's dark, so that it doesn't blind you. Sometimes the light sensor can be inadvertently covered which can cause it to appear to malfunction.
I copied that text from this forum.

I'm having problems with iPad 2 and my smart cover. The attachment seems to be depolarized and it moves around causing the device to toggle and flash like its coming on or shorting. Anyone having problems?

I'm having problems with iPad 2 and my smart cover. The attachment seems to be depolarized, trys to connect using the back (curved) edge of the magnetized bracket. When I try to attach it, it moves around causing the device to toggle in a way that looks like the camera flash. Anyone having problems? Help.

Update. My carrier says the antenna of my iPhone 4s is not so good as the one in the iPhone 3G. They can't solve the problem. Their signal is too weak for the 4s at places I spend most of my time. Not the answer I expected, but I'm free to choose an other carrier. Hope this will help.
This was not the correct answer, I accidentially clicked the button..

How to clean iPad mini retina red smart Cover case

Hi i need to know how to clean mi iPad mini retina red Smart Cover
Thanks

Hi Leemrt,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
See this article for tips on cleaning your Apple products:

iPad Smart Cover and Smart Case—polyurethane
To clean your polyurethane iPad Smart Cover / Case, first remove it from the iPad. Use a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Wipe the front of the Smart Cover / Case and the inside with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove any dirt.
Don't use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean the polyurethane Smart Cover / Case.
iPad Smart Cover and Smart Case—leather
The iPad leather cover/case is made from natural aniline leather. Its appearance will change as you use it. It may acquire a patina and may change color due to the oils from your skin and direct sunlight, further enhancing the natural look.
Cleaning the leather may affect its color. If you choose to clean the leather, first remove the cover/case from your iPad. Use a clean cloth with warm water and mild hand soap to gently clean the leather. Wipe the outside and the inside with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove any dirt. You can also use a mild cleaner along with a dry clean cloth. Mild cleaners or conditioners may help remove some stains but may also change the color of the leather.
Keep your iPad leather cover/case away from prolonged intense sunlight, heat, and humidity. Exposure to water, oil, makeup, and dyed materials (such as denim) can stain tanned leathers.
All the best,
Jeremy

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!

Ipad 3 scratches/cracks Smart Cover

Hi ,
I have had my ipad since October and noticed a small crack on the screen. Today I looked again and it is getting bigger ! I am very very careful with my ipad and have the Smart Cover on it 24/7.
Can the smart covers cause scratches on the ipad ? And is small scratches/cracks covered in the warranty?
Cheers Josh

I am afraid cracks and scratches is not covered by the warranty.

Will iPad Propped Up on Smart Cover Be Enough to Charge Overnight?

I was thinking that instead of spending even more money to buy a dock, when I have to charge my iPad overnight I would just prop it up via the Smart Cover positions and charge it (instead of laying it flat on the table and taking up space). But will the magnets in the Smart Cover be able to hold it up all night? I'm afraid it might fall forward and break. Thanks!

Things do go bump in the night... I would keep it flat or buy a stand for the iPad.
This is the stand I bought from the Apple Store. It is small, lightweight and folds up....

Fits both the iPad 1 and 2....

Re: Random music playing after smart cover closed

My music is randomly playing after I close the smart cover. Not much fun in a business meeting. Any ideas?

i had the same issue and it wasn't music from my library. I shut dow all running apps and it continued

Is it possible to plug ipad 2 with the smart cover on the dock station?

I'm wondering if the dock station can be used while Ipad2 is covered by the SmartCover?
Thank in advance for answers !
Greetings from France

I before I bought my case for my iPad2 I had the cover on it, in order to get it in the dock I had to slightly open the cover to seat the iPad on the dock then I could close it again. There is not enough room in the cradle to hold the iPad with the cover closed (tight fit without the cover), but I did not have to remove the cover to put it in, just open it.

Case that works with iPad 2 Dock and Smart Cover

The title says it all , if possible list websites and full product details.
Many Thanks

This case meets all my requirements, however I am not sure that anyone makes one that will work with the dock, except an amoured film shield.

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 2 Smart Cover and Airport Xray

Is there any ill effects when you send your ipad 2 with a smart cover (which contains magnets) through the airports Xray scanners?
Just curious since xray scanners use magnets to scan correct?

Mine has skated through several airport scanners with no bad effects. A a matter of interest, while they still want you do put your laptop in a seperate bin, there is no problam putting a pad thru inside a briefcase or suitcase. They seem to know what it looks like on the scanner, and i have not had to get it out at all.

Does Apple replaces iPad That have been scratch by the smart cover ?

Hi everyone !
Yesterday I found that I have a big scratch on the left side of my iPad third gen... This scratch have been made by my smart cover ... I called apple and they said that it's not suppose to happen ! I also read on Internet that when your iPad has this problem apple replaces yours for free ... Is that true ... Sorry for my bad English ;)

It would be difficult to prove that the scratch was caused by the Smart Cover and not by some accident that you had.
is that so?

to be fair, apple gave me a new ipad and a new smart cover, but im pretty sure this will happen again.

Why does closing Smart Cover no longer turn off iPad?

I have had my iPad 2 and its Smart Cover for about a week. At first, closing the Smart Cover turned off the iPad, as it should. Yesterday this feature disappeared -- I close the Smart Cover and the iPad stays on. I have looked for settings that might turn this behavior on and off, but cannot find one. Am I overlooking the setting, or is my Smart Cover a lemon?

Thanks! That does work. At first I thought it didn't, because I didn't hear the little click that indicates that the iPad has turned off. But then I realized that I also had to change the setting Use Side Switch To to Mute and then change its position. I did that and the little click came back.
I had thought locking was different from turning off. I thought that if you locked the iPad 2, then you needed to enter a password to unlock it. That's why I didn't think that iPad Cover Lock/Unlock was the setting I needed to change.
