Smart cover leaving marks in iPad screen

I have the new iPad and purchased a leather smart cover which I am disappointed with due to the fact that rather than he microfiber cloth side of the cover cleaning the screen it actually marks the screen exactly where it folds.
I am not the only person I know who experiences this and would like to know if anyone has had any response from apple regarding this or knows of a solution to this problem.
Many thanks

I see the horizontal lines at the fold places of my leather smart cover too. I think though that the cover is just rearranging the dirt on the screen. I periodically clean my screen and the inside of the cover and this markedly decreases the problem. Other than that I ignore it.

Smart Cover doesn't put iPad into Sleep mode in Unlock position after iOS 8.3 update

Prior to the iOS 8.3 update, closing my Smart Cover would put my iPad into Sleep mode when in the Unlock position. Since the update, this function no longer works in the Unlock position. In the Lock position, I hear the click and the iPad does go into Sleep mode. Since I am the only one using my iPad, I don't need it locked when at home. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

hi guys. i'm back.
i solved my problem. i refer my iphone 5 to a local distributor. a repairman checked my iphone and i described my problem. he checked my battery. it was fine! then after an hour excavation around hardware solution he told me that the charging kit crashed because of heavy mobility usage!
yes. i did not covered my phone with any cover. the cpu pressure by ios update crashed the kit! now my phone get back after the kit changed and work finally. i restored my phone to ios 8.2 now.
i'm going to buy new iphone. but i'm really confused if such this issue really happened for iphone 6 too!!!!!
i'm totally disappointed .

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.

The Apple Store says it will.

Smart Cover leaves 3 bars on my iPad screen

Hello,
My new Smart Cover is leaving 3 bars on my iPad screen. I tried cleaning it, it appears to wipe right off. What should I do?

The bars are from where the material of the cover touches the screen and any oil on it. This is normal. just keep your screen clean.
Ok.

Smart Cover all Back turn off screen

I bought an Ipad Air with an Apple Smart Cover . Everytime i open a smart cover and put it all behind the ipad the screen turns off like it is in front. Is it normal?
I have an Ipad 3 and it does not happen.

I've also noticed that the sensor seems to be a bit more sensitive under iOS 7 than it used to be under iOS 6. If it's a genuine Apple Smart Cover, this should not happen. If you have a third-party cover, I think it's possible and more likely to happen.

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.

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 has damaged my ipad

My smart cover damaged my iPad 2 where the magnets attach to the iPad it caused damage to the rear of the iPad and appears to have rubbed through the rear of the iPad. Will apple replace my iPad and case? It looks terrible and I'm afraid the problem will get worse

I think the post implied what I've noticed with my iPad + smart cover as well: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17544537#17544537

Smart Cover Leaves Streaks

Hello all just purchased two I pad 2 with the smart covers. After using it a few days when I turn it off I see the 3 lines on the screens from the smart cover. I tried to wipe them off with no luck. I have noticed this is a problem when I search on the web. I don't wan't this to be happening. Anyone else notice this and where you able to get it off?

I have the same problem-
I just fold the smart cover into a triangle and use one of the sides to wipe the screen down. Its simple and easier then having to carry arounf extra clothes ect.

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.

Does the new smart cover work with old iPad?

Hello,
as the subject
Does it work? because I'm very interested about it!

As much as I am also disappointed with this, I just had to remind myself that the original Apple iPad cover gives you the same features of standing it up and typing angle... Again, I wish it did too but I know I'm not missing out on functionality with my old iPad case...

Smart Cover hinges rubbing metal residue off on iPad 2

Anyone seeing a problem with there Smart Cover rubbing against the iPad and leaving metal residue?
I have two Smart Covers and both exhibit a small wearing of the metal on the Smart Cover approximately where the two hinges meet the connecting rod that runs between them. It shows as slight dullness on the hinges. On the iPad you can see marks where those points rest against the metal of the iPad. So far, the metal "smudges wipe off the iPad but the finish on the hinges is permanently dulled.
Looking closely as the cover folds back I notice that those two points are closer to the surface of the ipad than the rest of the hinge.
Thanks,
West

All it really is is where metal is rubbing in the hinge itself and it is making a very fine metal powder which may air oxidize. Look at the hinges on any door of your house and you will see the same thing. The reason it is on the back of the iPad is that the magnets attract the metal powder. It is not a defect with the iPad at all. Other than wearing down the hinge component over time this would be normal as well. If the hinge pin had used aluminum or something with less carbon content you would not see it at all. The smart cover is great but the hinge does need a redesign. I have actually done a couple of redesigns that works well. I may publish them on instructables some time. Expensive hobby though ;). I have reverse engineered three case/cover types. That is what I always liked about Steve... Take something someone did not do well and make it better but make it your own!
