Returning two iPad leather smart covers

I received a red and a black leather Smart Covers two days ago and tried one of them out. There is a "cool factor", and the cover works just like it shows in the video. But actually installing, using and holding an iPad 2 with a cover on it did not meet my expectations or needs.
1. I could not find a comfortable, safe way to hold the iPad with the Smart Cover attached, and I tried several folding combinations. I used an iPad 1 for this past year with the Apple neoprene case, and always liked it, but the Smart Cover does not give a person a feeling that the iPad is "safe" or "comfortable" to hold. It feels better with the cover off. I know this is mostly subjective, but the practical reality is that I need a "case", not a "cover" to get that useability feeling back.
2. I'm getting return labels because I am within the 14 day return period(the Apple Store person was very efficient and friendly, with literally "no questions asked".
3. I've ordered a black and a red version of this instead:

It's leather, it's a case, it's much like the iPad 1 case, and it will feel the same. It also will provide some protection if I or my wife happen to drop our iPads. That glass screen that goes right up to the edge of the iPad 2 are a concern, so having a little bit of leather on the corners makes me feel better.

I got the red one you posted here, I wasn't completely happy with it.  It is kind of hard to get to the port on the bottom with the camera kit attachments.  you CAN do it, you just have to work a little harder to get it attached.  it also drove me crazy that the top part of the case does not line up with the bottom of the case.  as far as protection is concerned, if you drop your ipad in this case on concrete, i think your ipad would be a goner.

  • Ipad 2 smart covers

    I have a smart cover fro ipad 2. is there a cover available like for the ipad 1 totally covered black latex type cover. i have had an ipad1 for more than a year and it looks brand new. the ipad 2 i have had for a month and it looks like second hand. the smart cover only protects the front and not the back. so much for a "smart Cover". all covers that i have looked at for ipad 2 do not make accommodation for the camera on the reverse side. is there a reverse side protector that can be applied that can work with the smart cover.

    Incipio makes a backing for the iPad2 that is compatible with the SmartCover.  It comes in matching colors too!

  • Will there be a leather smart cover for the iPad air?

    Right now Apple only offers polyurethane smart covers. I really liked the 'look&feel' of the former iPad's leather smart covers. Are there any plans of releasing those for the new air?

    You will know as soon as anybody else. Apple do not announce their product intentions.

  • TS2634 What is the best way to clean the polyurethane smart covers?

    Hate the polyurethane Apple "smart" covers, but for some reason Apple did not create leather smart covers for the iPad Air. I know there is a leather case for the Air, but it's too bulky. I like the smart cover concept, but the polyurethane gets really dirty and smudgy and gross.
    What are best ways to keep this thing clean without ruining it? Thanks!

    Hi DGL23,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This page has some helpful tips for cleaning Apple products, including the iPad Smart Cover:

    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.

  • Does Anyone Make A Leather iPad mini Smart Cover (Not a Case)

    I'm looking for a leather smart cover for the iPad mini (not a case that also covers the back). Does anyone make one?

    I found a few options by doing a web search for "ipad mini leather smart cover". Whether any would suit you I can't say, but you can look into the available options.

  • How well do the ipad smart covers work?

    I think I am going to buy the new ipad mini w/ retina display & want to know how good the smart covers are before I spend 40$ on one

    Having owned each generation of iPad (and a different protective case for each) I'd say:
    the smart cover is a so-so solution. It does a decent but not great job of propping the iPad up at different angles. Call it a C+
    It does a decent job a keeping the screen clean - what you'll eventually notice is that the display gets a line of finger prints corresponding to the folds. Call it A-
    It does a decent job of protecting the display but it does tend to flop open if it isn't held in the right way (gravidty can cause it to open) and the magnets can pull lose leaving it totally unprotected. Call it B
    It leaves the back totally unprotected and the aluminum will scratch. Call it D-
    With the iPad 3 I added a back case (from Speck if I remember correctly) which solved the back problem and it covered the magnet so the cover never came off. The other problems remained, however.
    I got a smart case with the new iPad Air and while pricy it seems to have resolved all my complaints but the first two. But since I've not found any case that keeps the fingerprints off and the cases that offer better solutions for hands free use have also been thicker (or ugly) I'm happy with it.

  • IPad 2 - Smart Cover =Polyurethane vs. Leather

    Finally, got my White iPad 2 last week, the thing is all smart covers were sold out at that time, however they're back in stock now. So i was trying to figure out which is one better, in terms of durability, quality. Also which color goes best with the white ipad.
    - Thanks guys.

    HI, I PURCHASED THE IPAD 2 ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO, AND OF COURSE THE PINK SMART COVER.
    I  LOOOVVVEEE IT! THE COLOR IS "VERY COOL" (LIKE STEVE WOULD HAVE SAID)!
    SO FAR IT HASN'T GOT DIRTY AND IT HASN'T BLEED EITHER.  I TAKE IT EVERYWHERE AND MY FOUR KIDS PLAY WITH IT CONSTANTLY.  I ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL IPAD WITH THE APPLE COVER THAT CAME FOR THAT MODEL.  THAT COVER STAINED THE INVISIBLE SHIELD SCREEN SKIN. 
    ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MOTIVATED ME TO BUY THE SECOND EDITION IPAD WAS THE VERSATILITY OF MANY COLOR COVERS.  MY PLAN IS TO BUY TWO OR THREE MORE.  EACH TIME I SEE AN IPAD 2 WITH DIFFERENT COVERS, SEEMS THAT IS A NEW ONE.

  • Why only leather Smart Cases for iPad Air 2?

    Why do Apple only sell the more expensive leather Smart Cases than the cheaper plastic Smart Cases? The price for leather case can be a little to expensive. Do anyone know why they only sell the leather ones? And is the leather case worth to buy even with the high price?

    I was also surprised by this. I'm not a fan of leather but I orderd the new Smart Case. I love having the Smart Cover and definitely needed something on the back to make my iPad less likely to slither off smooth surfaces.
    I love the new Smart Case. The fit and finish is superb and it provides some nice edge and corner protection. Great Midnight Blue color also. It's well worth the money for me.

  • Two iPads, One iTunes-- Is This Right?

    Dear Folks,
    If it's all it's cracked up to be, I plan to upgrade to the new iPad when it comes out and pass on my current iPad to my housemate. We both use the same iMac, same user account. I think I understand how to manage this properly, but I'm hardly sure. I want to run it past you folks, since a mistake would be, ummm, unfortunate.
    I have iTunes set up to "Manually manage music and videos," but otherwise my iPad content is automatically syncced to iTunes.
    So, assuming I have my new iPad2 in hand, it goes like this?
    1) Sync the iPad1 to iTunes, just to make sure the iTune's backup record is 100% up to date.
    2) Unplug iPad1, plug in iPad2, and click RESTORE in iTunes. That will move all my apps, personal settings and associated content from iPad1onto iPad2, right? Basically, iPad2 acquires the personality and memory of iPad1.
    3) Manually port my iPad1 music/video library from iTunes into iPad2.
    That should leave me with my new iPad set up exactly the way my old one was, right? Same accounts, same functional software, same permissions, etc., right?
    Now, returning to the old iPad1, go into Settings/General/Reset and select "Erase all Content and Settings." Then I can hand the machine over to my housemate and she can set it up from scratch, just as if she'd bought it new.
    My understanding is that from this point on iTunes is smart enough to recognize that there are two different iPads with two different configs. When we each plug our iPads into the iMac, iTunes will automatically sync iPad1's stuff to the ipad1 backup and iPad2's stuff to the iPad2 backup without us having to tell it which is which (remember, we're handling music/video manually). We don't have to worry about the contents of the two iPads getting somehow commingled.
    Did I get this all right?
    Thanks!
    pax / Ctein

    Dear Chris,
    Wow, really is just that simple. Thanks; life is rarely that good (even Apple life, which is pretty good).
    And thereafter, once my housemate has set up the scrubbed iPad1 as her machine, iTunes really will track them both separately, maintaining separate syncs and backups for each? (again, noting that we don't auto-sync music and video)
    Thanks for the hand-holding. I know it's a bit early to be asking, but I like to be prepared.

  • Two IPAD 2s with same IMEI # - horrible customer support to resolve issue

    A week ago my boyfriend discovered that Verizon had disconnected service to the iPAD 2 I gave him from his account 7 months ago but continued to charge him $11.21 per month for the phone line on a non-existent device.  To date I have spoken with more Verizon employees I can count on two hands, been passed back and forth between customer care and the fraud prevention department repeatedly, had to recount this entire story each and every time as well as provide passwords, last 4 digits SS, IPAD IMEI number, phone numbers for the account, named and address for the account, original purchase receipt for the iPAD, and yet, a week later nothing has been resolved, service has not been restored, calls have not been returned as promised, and charges for a so-called "test phone" (that non-existent device) continue to accrue.  I have no promised resolution date and there doesn't seem to be any urgency on Verizon's part to either apologize or fix the problem for us.
    A year ago my boyfriend purchased a Verizon iPhone and added the IPAD 2 to is data share plan as a second device for $10/month.  Apparently last July another Verizon customer walked into a store with an iPAD claiming they were having connectivity issues.  Supposedly it was determined that the IMEI number on that individual's device matched the IMEI number for the iPAD 2 on my boyfriend's account.  Without bothering to research the issue or contact my boyfriend, Verizon simply removed my boyfriend's iPAD 2 service, converted his data share plan second device to something simply identified in his account as a "Test Phone", and assigned his IMEI number to this other customer's account.  My boyfriend isn't the most tech savvy person, so when his iPAD 2 quit accessing the internet he assumed it was something wrong with the iPAD, or a function of where he was at - he spends 5 months of the year in Alaska and coverage is often spotty at best.  So he just tossed it aside opting to browse with his iPhone instead.  Then last week he just happened to be reviewing his latest Verizon bill and where he expected to see the $10/month charge for the iPAD he saw an $11.21 charge to a phone number he didn't recognize.  So he elected to go into a Verizon store to learn what that was about. 
    There at the Verizon Store the customer service rep informed him that he was "in possession of a stolen iPAD" .  This brain trust of an employee went on to explain to my 65 year old boyfriend that since two devices could not possibly have the same IMEI number, and since the IMEI number on his device (which he took with him to the store) matched the IMEI number of the iPAD on another customer's account, the only logical conclusion was that he had somehow acquired this "stolen iPAD" illegally.  At that point I was contacted to talk to this Verizon employee since I was the original purchaser of that iPAD.  No matter that the customer that now had the iPAD IMEI number on their account acquired that IMEI number after my boyfriend originally registered his iPAD with Verizon.  All of a sudden we are the bad guys that stole an iPAD.  We were informed that we would have to produce an original receipt before they could discuss this with us further.  In other words, guilty of steeling an iPAD until we can prove innocense. I guess the idea that we would register an iPAD, then sell it to another Verizon customer a couple months later, but continue to pay to have the device on our account, then steal the device back from this other customer, and then bring this stolen device into a Verizon store in an attempt to fraudulently register it back onto our account, just seemed like a more likely scenario to this employee.  More likely than the one where another Verizon employee maybe fat-fingured the other guy's IMEI number into their system resulting in the system identifying a duplicate IMEI to the one we had already registered, thereby causing this other, highly trained and intelligent, Verizon rep to simply remove the IMEI number from our account and assign it to this other, obviously more honest appearing individual, without bothering to inform my other half his iPAD was no longer going to be registered, and that he would continue to be billed monthly for the service he no longer had.  Yeah, right.
    I could only think of one other possible scenario, that two iPADs could have the same identical IMEI number.  After spending hours on hold,recounting this story to  numerous Verizon customer service and fraud reps to no avail, and becoming exceedingly frustrated with the fact that you can never get a direct line to a specific rep you've already worked with and can never speak to the same rep more than once, I decided to contact Apple about the likelihood of this possibility.  In spite of having an iPAD that was no longer on any sort of technical service warranty, Apple tech rep answered the phone with less than a 2 minute wait.  Listened intently to my story, and expressed complete and utter shock at how I had been treated by Verizon thus far.  He stated emphatically that two devices will not have the same, unique IMEI number.  Further, he was able to verify that the iPAD I purchased and registered with Apple matched the IMEI number we registered with Verizon in February 2013 and the same IMEI number of the device my boyfriend presented in the store a week ago and that according to their records, the device has always been registered to me and only me.  He then called Verizon on my behalf and spoke to the Verizon Customer Care rep - of course, another different one, and vouched for me as the original and only known owner to Apple of that iPAD.  He then connected me with that Verizon rep.  Ten minutes later with the Apple tech rep off the call, the Verizon CC rep actually told me the Apple tech did not vouch for me during his conversation with her.  She did admit he called her, but did not seem to understand why he called her.  Wow.
    So, next I proceeded to secure a duplicate sales receipt from Best Buy for the purchase I made the day the iPAD 2 first hit the shelf on March 2, 2011.  No problems with Best Buy customer service.  Back home with an electronic copy of the receipt I called Verizon for what seemed now like the 100th time in 3 days and waited on hold the obligatory 20 minutes, made my way through the automated answering system obstacle course, provided all the various security pass codes, account numbers and answered all the requisite questions which, by now, I am convinced are designed to get the less determined customer to simply give up in exasperation.  Only to be told by this new customer care rep that I could not send this receipt electronically to them because "that would be illegal". OMG
    I was told I would need to wait until so and so from the fraud department returned his promised call to me - by then two days overdue.  Sorry.  So, I waited another day and called the fraud department.  Got a new person after all the **.  Only to have this person give me an e-mail address to send the receipt and then they needed to go as they were so busy and I could call back later.  Called back again to see if now that they had the receipt they could tell me what the status was for closing out the investigation and re-activating our iPAD.  Got another new person.  Of course they can never connect you with anyone you've worked with before.  Either they've never heard of all those other people you've talked to or that other person is simply not there.  This time it was the latter and I would have to continue to wait two more days when that other person handling the case was supposed to return.  Supposedly this other person entered into their notes that they tried to call me.  Funny, they had the right contact information for me and I had my cell phone with me the entire time as I was expecting that call.  Yet, it never rang, there were no logged missed calls, and no messages on it.  So, at this point I am totally out of my mind and I'm sure there are lots of notes in the case file about the irate and unreasonable woman customer that keeps calling about this issue.  I ask to speak to a supervisor.  I'm told I can't because the her supervisor has already left for the day due to all the long hours they've all been working.  I asked to speak to another supervisor.   I was told, you can't speak to another supervisor, "you can only speak to my supervisor as I'm not allowed to connect you with anyone but my supervisor.  I'm sorry, you'll have to wait.". 
    So, here it is, now 2 days since that last incredible conversation.  Still no one from Verizon has bothered to contact me.  I can fully understand that people make mistakes.  I can understand that something like this might take time to investigate.  I get it.  But, what I can't accept is this attitude that the customer is wrong and Verizon never makes mistakes.  I can't accept being accused of stealing as the only plausible answer for what has happened. I can't accept that Verizon's Customer Care reps and Fraud Prevention reps make promises to call you back on a specific day and then they never do.  I can't understand why they wouldn't at least touch base to let you know they haven't forgotten you.  I can't understand why you have to explain the situation over and over again to a different individual every single time you call them.  Each and every rep seems to have gone through a very thorough training program where the very first words out of their mouths is "I'm sorry you are having this problem. But, rest assured I am here to fix this for you."  After having heard that at least a couple dozen times now, I know how shallow and meaningless those words really are coming from Verizon.
    Verizon, shame on you.  You've treated us like dirt.  You've fraudulently charged us $80 to date and continue to charge us for a non-existent phone on a non-existent service. You don't return calls as promised and I have had to resort to this discussion in hopes of getting resolution.  Anyone else feel like they've been treated this badly?  I've been a loyal customer for many years.

    MatthewS_VZW,
    As indicated in the original post, I did contact fraud.  Today I contacted them again to get a status.  I was informed they closed the case as "not fraud" on the 22nd, but could explain why I was not contacted back regarding this latest status.  However, the rep then proceeded to tell me they thought I should send a new photocopy of the receipt because the one I sent in was cutoff.  In looking at what I submitted, it was indeed, slightly cutoff at the very bottom.  But what was cutoff was entirely irrelevant as the total cost, applied gift cards and final charge to my credit card were all clearly visible in the middle of the receipt.  The only thing cutoff was the last line of details on the 4th gift card applied to the payment and the line was only cut in half and still decipherable.  Just another stall tactic.  Finally the rep agreed that sending a new receipt wasn't really necessary since the case was already closed.  She said all we needed to do now was go into a Verizon store with the iPad and they could reactivate it.  However, being now very doubtful of anything Verizon has to say, I called Customer Care and that rep said that while the fraud case was indeed closed, nothing has yet been resolved because the other party still has an active device with the same IMEI number.  They could not activate our iPad until the mystery of the duplicate number is resolved.
    The customer care rep offered to call the other party and see if they would be willing to bring in their device and sales receipt as well.  So, he promised to call me back after he tried the other party. Well, Raul at Verizon wins the prize for best customer care so far since he really did call me back!  But, apparently the other party told him to pound sand and hung up on him.  Raul was uncomfortable with simply deactivating the other customer's device - wish the Verizon rep that deactivated our device last July had been as ethical as Raul.  So, we are still in limbo with a device we can't get activated.  Raul did at least agree we should be reimbursed for the last 7 months of charges for a non-existent device and supposedly has submitted a request on our behalf to credit us with $80.  He also promised to call back tomorrow with an updated status.  But, at this point it appears there is no clear path to resolve yet.  I don't know what we're going to do or who to elevate this to next.  If they can't compel the other party to prove ownership, or if the other party can prove ownership and indeed there are two devices with the same IMEI number, it seems the only solution will be for Verizon to issue a new device to one of the parties so we both can use iPads.

  • IPad 2 smart cover, mine is falling to bits and has stained my screen protector. Anyone else had the same problem?

    iPad 2 smart cover. Mine is falling apart and has marked my screen protector with black lines. Anyone else experienced this?

    Mine has worked fine.  What model do you have, the leather or the other?  I've read of others using screen protectors like Zagg absorbing some of the dye.  Of course considering the cost they are to produce ($12 is what I read for the leather) it doesn't surprise me some of the dye is coming out.  I have wiped my black leather down with high grade leather cleaner / oil and you can clearly see it on the rag.
