Ipad2 smart cover is  not smart !!!!!

my ipad 2 was scrached on the back from the smart  cover magnet, does apple cover that ?

I have always suspected that this could happen but I am always ultra careful if I need to reposition or remove/reattach the SmartCover.
I even keep the Ipad2 & SmartCover in a tightly fitting slip case when not in use, without scratching issues thus far.
So far I have no scratches but do have to remove a powdery black hinge residue occasionally.
Apple may be more sympathetic but I would put your issue down to fair wear and tear.

    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.

  • My smart cover is not working with the new iPad

    The smart cover for my iPad 2 won't work with the new iPad.  I have verified the toggle is enabled in settings.  Does anyone have a solution or is experiencing the same issue?  Thanks :)

    It's the polarity of the magnet in the older Apple Smart Covers (and many third-party cases and covers) that is causing the problem.  All you need to know about this situation is detailed at my blog post:

  • IPad Smart Cover does not fit properly.

    The Smart Cover that I bought with my iPad w/retina display (iPad 4) pops of the left side of the iPad when I flip the cover all the way around. The cover I received has the cutout for the 30-pin dock connector if that makes a difference.  It is also personalized. Can I get it replaced? Can it be done in-store or do I need to mail it somewhere?  Thanks.

    Chris,
    This isn't something we'd be able to answer for you I'm afraid, it would depend on numerous factors such as where it was purchased from.
    If you've purchased this new from a store recently then I'm sure retailer will be able to assist.
    Regards,

  • 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

    SSmart cover on iPad air not working as it should

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

    Thank you
    My email for contact: [email protected]

    If I deciphered your message correctly, you dropped your iPad and now you want Apple to pay for it?
    Should you ever have a crash with your car, are you also going to blame your car manufacturer and say that you are not satisfied with their product?

  • My iPad Air doesn't lock with a Smart Cover

    I have an iPad Air first generation with iOS 8.2 on it. I purchased an official Apple Smart Cover and the smart lock/unlock does not work. I have the lock/ unlock setting enabled in settings>general.  I have also tried an aftermarket smart case and it doesn't work either.  The screen doesn't lock and I don't hear an audible lock sound.  I have tried restoring my iPad. I took my iPad to the Apple Store and they told me the iPad was out of warranty and offered to sell me a refurbished iPad of the same model for $299.  I was disappointed this was the only option they gave me. What else can I try?

  • 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.

  • Smart cover is plain dangerous

    The smart cover does not hold firmly enough in place, and it causes all sorts of problems. Few times I've nearly dropped the iPad because of cover detaching, and now to top it all, my wife was lying in bed holding iPad it by the cover and the **** thing fell of on her face, breaking her lip.
    It could be argued, that the cover was not designed for holding the weight of the iPad, but then it is the example of a bad design. as it's only natural to grab the iPad by folded cover, and not by it's smooth metalic body.

    Only natural for you maybe. It is a cover that is held in place by magnets. Really - do you actually think its a good idea to hold the iPad by what is really just a glorified screen protector? It is not a handle. Bottom line, that is all that the Smart Cover is. It is a screen cover that folds around into a stand.

  • 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 ;)

    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.

  • Old Smart cover on iPad Air...?

    I have a lovingly kept 2011 black leather smart cover on my iPad 2. Will this work with a new iPad Air, or must I buy a new cover?
    Cheers

    The older Smart Cover is not compatible with the iPad Air. The Air is quite a bit smaller so the cover would overhang. Also, the magnets that hold the cover to the device will likely not line up either nor will the embeded magnets in the cover that trigger the sleep/wake function when the cover is opened/closed.
    Just splurge for new Smart Cover for the Air. It's worth it.

  • SMART COVER FALLS OFF EASILY

    I suggest that you visit an Apple store--perhaps they can solve your issue.

  • Can Smart cover Damages ipad mini's SPEAKERS ?

    HI am from India,
    I was using a Smart cover since 7 Months. It was iOS 6 when i started using it Now i Updated my iPad mini to iOS 7 and i experienced the Distortion in Left Speaker everytime whenever i use to restart my Device & Destortion was use to clear automatically when i restarted device again. So i was just curious about this. So i just want to know is there any relation between Smart cover's Magnet and the speakers ?
    Note :I dont know the Smart cover is Original Or Duplicate.I restored iOS 7 from service center and now theres not problem YET. So now i was just thinking wether i use smart cover Or not ?

    An easy way to tell if the cover is affecting your speakers is to remove it and use the device as you normally do. If the cover is/was indeed affecting your device's speakers, then you'll get no distortion and continue to get no distortion. Then go back and use the device with the cover again to see if you again get the distortion. Do this "with cover"/"without cover" a few times to verify. This is also known as "the process of elimination".
    If the cover is causing the issue (not likely in my opinion), your ultimate solution is to get a new cover.

  • Smart cover?, or st o o p i d cover?

    oh right, first day sale ipad 2, made the line, buy my device, and, of course, the s. cover (smart, or sto  opid?) sinc i start using it, i realize my device is undercover on the back, i don't like that, but, what the ****, s. cover is nice, when the problem comes? it turns out that my device is the one of the "only few" that has problems on the screen, decolorations on the back of it, i run to the apple store, what's my surprise! i don't have warranty, my decice has a scratch 1mm x 2mm(milimeter) on the top, warranty is no good.
    so, who's the blame? of cour mine, for trusting on apple and his advertising, and for running to the store to buy a product that is not 100% quality control, my device works perfectly, but it has a defect that i can't do nothing, carefull everybody on scratching a device on you back pack, and having smart cover,  you will no longer get warranty for a device with defects

    1) I don't work for Apple.
    2) I don't see how I "want to make you crazy" by saying that a scratch is different from a dent, and that as you were told by Apple user-caused abuse sufficient to cause a dent voids your warranty 
    3) A Smart Cover is not designed to provide protection for the entire iPad. That's why it's called a cover, not a case.
    There is nothing defective about the iPad nor the Smart Cover. You damaged your iPad, apparently expecting the Smart Cover to do something for which is was not designed. As a result of the damage, your warranty is void.
    That's all anyone can say on the subject.

  • Smart Cover with Passcode?

    Hello, I was thinking about purchasing a Smart Cover for my iPad 2. I was wondering if when you open the Smart Cover, if it bypasses the passcode prompt or not?
    Thank you for your help!

    There is currently a "bug" that allows you to use the Smart Cover get around the passcode and access the home screen, search and/or an open app (if you had an App running in the foreground when you locked the screen).
    The exploit goes as follows:
    With the screen locked, press and hold the power button until the "slide to power off. . . " screen comes up.
    Close the Smart Cover
    Open the Smart Cover (it should show the power screen still) and click the Cancel button
    If you had no running apps in the foreground, you will see your home screen and can page through your different screens as well as access the search function.You can not launch any apps, but you can see what is installed.
    The Search function does return results, and although you can't open the results, there is still data available in the preview lines of the returned results that could be a risk.  Such as typing in Contacts returns your contacts list where you can see name/phone/email information, or Calendar shows calendar entries and location, attendees, etc.
    If you had a running App in the foreground, you may have some limited capabilities within the App itself available.  For example if you had the Mail App open, you would be able to scroll through your inbox list and see some of the information that is there.
    The above info is intended to be educational so you are aware of what could happen, but there are a couple easy things that you can do to minimize your risk:
    Go into Settings > General and turn the iPad Cover Lock / Unlock to Off . . . at least until the bug is fixed.  You will need to lock it with the power button on top instead (quick press of the button) or rely on the screen lock timeout to lock the screen.
    Don't let your device go outside of your possession.  If it gets lost or stolen remotely wipe it as soon as possible (either from iCloud or if you're using Exchange ActiveSync you can log into your Outlook Web Access page and under Options > Mobile Devices)
