Smart cover fraying at the corner

One of the corners of the smart cover is coming a part. I can see the magnet.
Anyone else seeing this?
It was purchased the 1st Saturday the iPad 2 was released, so I guess exchanging is out of the question.

even though there are 4 (5?) apple stores here in nyc, i didnt want to make a special trip just for this. today i happened to be around one of them.
yup, they replaced it. was told that the cover has a one year warranty. my leather was fraying on 3 of the 4 corners. i swear didnt do anything to it to cause this, but now im wondering could it be "sweat" from the bag i put it in. though canvas, the lining is basically plastic.

Does Smart Cover Work on The New iPad?

Does Smart Cover work on The New iPad?
Jeremy

I am talking about so-called third party cases like from Zenus, not on apple smart covers. If they happen to have the wrong polarity, you can just trash them. But maybe apple has a deal with them, so that they can sell yet one more. And i guess then they reverse polarity for the next model... Extremely annoying, and, I repeat myself, extremely customer unfriendly product policy.

When the smart cover turns of the iPad does it turn off the wifi turn off too?

Am I running down the battery if I don't turn off wifi before I close the smart cover?

Jfd-
Closing the smart cover only puts the iPad to sleep. As far as I know, it puts WiFi to sleep as well.
There are some Apps such as the Music App, that may continue to play after the iPad goes to sleep. If you really want to turn off the iPad, hold down the Sleep button for a few seconds until the "Slide to power off" arrow appears. When the iPad is turned off this way, you turn it back on by holding the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears.

Does the INVELLOP BLACK Leatherette Smart Cover case fit the new Ipad 4?

Why not ask the manufacturer? They would be the best people to know.

My Smart Cover is causing the aluminum to wear off/ipad crashing

About two months ago, I noticed my Smart Cover started to wear the aluminum off. The spot is getting bigger and there are others areas now where it is wearing off. On an unrelated not, my iPad crashes apps ALL the time! Even after resetting it. My one year warranty expired in June 2013.

No one addressed those Apps crashing....
I had a problem with Pages and another Apps crashing all the time. The advice was to delete the App (data is not effected) and then re-download via wifi from the store in purchases (no charge of course).
It fixed my problem apps.
If this doesn't fix the Apps then the iPad itself may need to be restored.
PLEASE! do a good backup to a computer first! Save stuff to dropbox, reduntant backups are okay!
Then restore to factory and then setup as new with backup.

Does the Smart cover stays on the new iPad?

Does the magnets can stays on the new iPad or are incombatible?

The Smart Cover will stay on the New iPad. There have been reports that the magnets is some may not turn the screen on and off, but it will certainly fit and provide protection for your screen.

Will the smart cover be inside the box of the iPad 2 or a separate package?

I bought the iPad 2 black Friday and heard it was delivered yesterday. Not getting it until Christmas, but I have been watching unboxing videos on YouTube and found one that had smart cover in box of iPad 2. Did anybody, who bought the iPad 2 online, find the smart cover inside the box?

No you have to purchase it separately from your iPad.

Smart cover will damage the ipad mini

Just a heads up. The smart cover for the ipad mini has magnets in the spine of the cover that attaches it to the mini and will wear through the material with normal use and will dig into the ipad mini leaving large deep gouges in it. Apple Care considers this damage as "accidental damage", like dropping it, and will charge you to replace it. So If you have a smart cover for your ipad mini, I suggest you stop using it before it damages the device. I've been using it for 6 months which isn't very long, and you don't really expect that a case you bought from apple to protect your device will damage your device just by using it, until you remove the case and see that the damage has already been done.

I use a different "smart cover" than you, but try this: Go to Settings/General/Lock-Unlock. Make sure the feature is enabled by toggling it green. If you've already enabled, toggle the feature off, then on (green).

My smart cover suddenly disables the auto lock function

Hi, until yesterday the smart cover on my new ipad3 was working fine, now it doesnt work anymore, 1. it disables the auto lock function, meaning when cover is on the ipad doesnt lock and 2.if I close the cover it doesnt lock the ipad automatically which it did until yesterday / anybody any idea ? Thanks !

Yes, this is a new account I set up lastbweekmprior to my holidays. That explains it. I thought I had a problem with the operating system, so many thanks for that.
I will contact my system administrator to adjust the settings.
Thanks again.

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

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

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.

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.

HT1665 does the smart cover fit on both the new iPad and the iPad 2?

I have both the iPad2 and i just got the new iPad and I'm wondering if I could put on the smart cover that i was using for my iPad 2 on the new iPad.
Thankyou very much,
Yours truley,
Mohammed Madooh

it depends on when you bought the smart cover -Apple changed the polarity of the magnets on the new iPad - Smarcovers bought in late 2011 or 2012 should work - those bought before then will not - for awhile Apple was offering exchanges for free on smart covers that dont work on the new iPad - dont know if they still are - you can call an Apple store or Apple online

TS2634 Smart Cover has stopped locking the screen

When I open my cover the usual lock screen is no longer there. I have a apple brand Smart Cover, I have the option turned on in the settings. I hear the audible click when I close the cover, and the screen does go black. Started about a four days ago, I haven't noticed any excess battery drain as a result. Tried to contact apple about the problem but you may have noticed not the easiest company to contact support wise.

Just the home screen it is not much of an issue but it is a feature that should be working.
You should see the lock screen when you unlock the iPad by opening the Smart Cover.
Try rebooting your iPad and see if it works OK after that.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Something else that might help is to reset all Settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings. You will of course have to re enter all of the device settings again including restoring the iPad screen cover lock in the settings.

Will the smart cover damage the other side of the screen?

I notice that the smart cover magnetically attaches only on one side of the ipad. However, i on a number of occassions left the smart cover in a position where it made contact with the other side of the ipad where it doesnt magnetically attaches. When this happens, the screen blanks out for a moment, until i get the smart cover out of the way. Can someone enlighten me on does this blanking out of the ipad screen or having magnetic stuffs touching the ipad damage any parts of the ipad? Thank you so much for joining this discussion!

No, the minor magnetic interference of the cover will not damage the device. Rest easy
