Ipad 3G  & Apple case  as well as other protective  skins

Hello,
Just wondering, if it is Ok for a Apple case to use with 3G model since it came with a black bar on the top of the device to work with 3G network. Also will be Ok for it to be covered by such protective skins?
Thank you And Happy ipadding

I am using it and it works great. The apple case doesn't seem to block any signal at all.

  • Using iPad 1 Apple Case On An iPad 3

    Does anyone have an idea on how to make an Apple iPad 1 case fit an iPad 3 snugly? I don't care about the cutouts for the mic and camera and controls. It somewhat fits, but because the iPad 3 is thinner and has beveled edges it moves around a little in the case. I have tried a cuple of cases made for the iPad 2/3 that are similar in design to the original Apple iPad case but they're not as supportive as the Apple one. Also, I like the material the Apple case is made out of. If you know of a case made for the iPad 3 that's virtually identical to the original Apple case, please suggest it.

    Do you mean this Griffin Elan Folio?

    I tried that one but the material seemed a little too flimsy.

  • I cannot get my IPad air to connect to wireless in home. Two other iPad 2's connect as well as laptops. I have already exchanged one iPad air and none want to connect. Husband has taken iPad air to the apple store, connects here but not here. Who can help

    Can someone please help???  I received am IPad air in November for my birthday and have not been able to use yet,  I could not get it to connect so I returned it for another iPad air. And cannot get it to connect to wireless either. I have three other iPad 2's and laptops in home and everything connects with no problem. What is the deal with these iPad airs? My husband took the iPad to Apple store, it works there but didn't change anything so it won't work at home. Do I need to step down to old IPad since that's all that will connect in home.  This is crazy,!!! How can I get my IPad air working in my home.???

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

    Try a soft-reset and see if that gets it to boot up properly : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should reappear and it will hopefully boot up.
    If it doesn't then try recovery mode and restore/resync your content : If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

  • Will the protective skins and Apple case for ipad interfere the reception?

    Will the protective skins for the ipad (especially on the back) and apple case for ipad, interfere the reception performance on both WIFI and 3G?
    Thanks

    I have a case (apple) but no skin and I have had no problem with wifi connectivity when using it. Can't speak to 3G as my iPad is wifi only.
    Hope this helps!

  • Awesome Apple case, but could it stain my iPad?

    First of all kudos to Apple for designing such an innovative case without traditional materials, such as leather.
    I am curious if anyone's ipad has become stained by using the case.
    After a week, I have used mine in humid conditions and even dampened the case slightly just to see.
    So far, I have not had a single color mark on the aluminium!
    I hope that it stays this way, but would love to hear from users who have had their iPad for longer.
    Many thanks!
    Cheers,
    bob

    Has anyone been able to get to the bottom of this discoloration issue?
    I've been using the apple case from day one (no zagg or other film). Yesterday I took it out of the case and the back is terribly stained from the case. 
    It's had normal use in a climate controlled environment and has never been wet.
    The apple rep who sold it to me never mentioned having to take it out of the case to charge as others have mentioned, but it does not get noticeably hot when charging.
    It's very disappointing to use an apple product only to find it has cosmetically ruined my iPad.

  • Apple case design flaw - broken ipad

    Having recently just purchased my shiny new ipad, I made use of the apple supplied case by putting it in the stand position so that I could watch the screen without holding it.
    The audio noise was enough for it to lose its balance and topple of the side breaking my ipad. Not a happy customer.
    Please be aware of using the case as a stand as it is not fit for purpose.

    2 things:
    i have this case and there is NO WAY i have enough volume, even at full blast with MANOWAR playing out of it that it will topple anywhere!!
    2nd: you used your ipad in its case, in the bathroom whilst you were having a bath??? and now your hunting out an exscuse that your ipad mystically flipped into the bath and got ruined??
    if the case is used correctly the chances of the ipad "falling" over are VERY slim! its sits very stable and erect when the back of the caqse is slotted into the slot correctly. on a STABLE SURFACE its not going anywhere unless its wobbled or knocked quite considerably!
    i would suggest you had it "balanced" on the edge of the bath..and it wasnt anywhere near stable! the thing that isnt "fit for purpose" is your foolishness at using your ipad, unprotected, next to a bath of water!!
    sorry for your loss, but your gonna have to bite the bullet and accept its user error rather than bad product design!
    EDIT:
    in fact to give you the benfit of the doubt im sitting here with my ipad (in its case standing upright) watching SIN CITY (plenty of gunfire and violent LOUD action!) and typing away on my keyboard replying to you! the Ipad is perfectly stable with me hammering away my keyboard and watching the film! its simply not going anywhere! and it certainly wont go anywhere at full volume watching this movie!!

  • IPad - OK to charge while in officeial Apple Case ?

    Just curious since the case is a snug fit, I would hate to have to take it out all the time.
    What is every doing ?
    TIA.

    I haven't removed my 64GB 3G iPad from it's Apple case since I purchased it a few months ago. I've always charged it using the supplied charger...often leaving it plugged in overnight and no problems to date.

  • Apple configurator - Passcode Restriction saving on one ipad but won't save on the others

    I have read a few different posts about the ipad restrictions passcode not transferring to the rest of my ipads but can’t understand why it saves on one of them ?
    I have 2 cabinets with 10 ipads in each both linked up to an imac using Apple Configurator.
    On iPad One I’ve set up the available restrictions within profile, added apps, changed wallpaper/background etc and the enabled restrictions using a passcode on the actual device and backed up.
    I then apply the backup and profile to the remainder 19 ipads and everything looks fine except enable restrictions is set to off on all of the 19 ipads.
    So I think this can’t be a setting that’s transferable. I then un-tick Automatic Refresh in Preferences and go through all 19 ipads and enable restrictions manually choosing the exact same passcode for all devices.
    I plug them back in and refresh the devices. All 19 loose their passcode except for ipad one ?
    Why does ipad one save this setting yet all other 19 devices cant save theirs ?
    I intend of giving out the 20 ipads for public use but can restrict users from going in to settings, then reset and erase the device back to factory settings.
    This seems like a basic requirement for anyone deploying ipads for public, business or education use.
    Is there a smarter way to do this that I a missing?

    HI nsdjoey,
    Many thanks for your reply.
    Hopefully this will be an update within Apple Configurator soon. The configurator has the potentail to be a great tool but lacks soem really basic features.
    I'll take a look at making an encrypted backup in iTunes, although none of my iPads are showing up as devices within iTunes. Maybe becasue they are in supervise mode ?
    Also just noticed that iPad 20 is not appearing in the Configurator even though its conected and lit up in the sync cab. I've change leads and ports in the cab but getting nothing.
    Thanks for your advice.

  • Bumper type cases that are available other than Apple's brand...

    Are there anymore out there...i do like the Apple Bumper...also there is the SGP Hybrid Neo Ex case, looks the same but different feature...any one teied this by any chsnce...what other alternatives are there aside from these two?

    I got the free black Apple bumper when they first started shipping them. I can't definitely say if I get better performance with or without a bumper. However, I can definitely say that I'm not getting any scratches under the bumper(s). The reason I made bumper plural is that I bought the "lime green" Apple one after using the black one for about a month.
    The reason I switched is because the IP is SO much easier to see when it's laying around waiting for me to pick it up. The black model just fades into the background and is NOT easy to spot when I'm in a hurry and want to get out the door.
    Also, I've dropped the IP a couple of times since I "bumpered" it and no nicks or other damage occurred. Whether I would have the results without a bumper, I can't say.
    My previous IP's (3G and 3G S) all got scratches on the back using cases. I suspect sand/dirt gets under the cases and acts like sandpaper when the case is rubbed.

  • What will happen to my ipad and apple phone if I reset daughters ipad mini to factory settings, we are getting each others messages and mail

    Hi   I have my laptop, ipad and apple 4 phone.  Youngest daughter has ipad mini which I connected to my laptop to download free games, music and photos, now the ipadmini thinks its me and we are getting each others messages etc.     If I reset the ipadmini to factory settings, will this delete and/of effect my Ipad, Apple phone, I don't want everything DELETED on my devices.  HELP
    Thanks

    Yes it would be her device you remove your account from, but she would need an email address to have an Apple ID.
    I guess if it's only messages that you want her to use, you could create an iCloud email address alias and let her use that for messaging.
    First you'd need to create an alias for your iCloud address, you can do this at iCloud.com > mail, click on the gear icon in the bottom left corner and select preferences, then choose the accounts tab. The alias could be her name.
    After creating an alias you will need to add it to her device as an ID for messages, go to settings > messages > send & receive > Add another email.
    While you are there make sure she only sends and receives messages from that address, you also need to ensure the same settings on your devices use anything but that address.

  • Why does the iPad Air Smart Case not sit flush?

    I bought one today and was immediately disappointed.
    When the cover is closed the first 1/3 sections (closest to the hinge) is raised above the screen. When it's fully opened in 'reading' mode, the cover lumps up on the back of the iPad. This makes it uncomfortable to hold in the hand and it's strange this design decision was allowed to make it to a final product. Additionally, when in 'standing' mode for watching video, the folding stand has a tendency to fall on itself every now and then.
    Why wasn't it designed so it lies flush in both open and closed mode? I've been using a cheaper 3rd party case for the last 6 months that was better designed. The only difference is the quality of materials. However if I'm paying $100 for an Apple case I expect perfect design, function and quality. It fails in the design and function department. The leather feels nice to touch, but it doesn't compensate for its flaws.
    Reading through Apple forums and other review sites, it appears I'm not alone. I haven't made up my mind yet but I'm leaning towards a refund.

    The stiffness of the leather hinge is probably what is causing this. I'm assuming that it will get better as time goes on and the leather "breaks-in" from use and becomes more flexible. You can possibly help it along by periodically creasing the hinge manually where it bends, like you'd crease a sheet of paper. You are by all means entitled to a refund so that's your choice & option as well.
