Smart cover not sending iPad 1 to sleep?

iPad used to go to sleep when I closed the smart cover, but now it doesn't. Any idea why not? OS 5.1.1

If this is an iPad 1, the smart covers are for the iPad 2 and the new iPad.
The cover doesn't work to turn the iPad 1 on and off because the iPad 1 doesn't have the built-in magnets inside the iPad to hold the cover on much less turn the iPad on and off.

  • 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.
    Regards.

  • Smart Cover scratched my iPad Air screen

    Has anyone else had the Smart Cover scratch their iPad Air screen?  I am very careful with my iPad, and the scratch was not there yesterday.  I use the Smart Cover.  It really is not a smart design to have the part of the cover that goes against the screen be the same part that sits on the desk or where ever the iPad is being placed.  I have tried flipping the cover the other way, but the magnet does not hold and it falls over any time I try touch the screen.  I use my iPad for work, so I have it sitting upright most of my day.  This is really frustrating.  While I have the Apple Care, I do not want to have to pay $100 to get the screen replaced.  It's a small scratch, but it's very visible, particularly when typing notes/documents/emails.  I overpaid to have an Apple-brand cover, just because I thought this would be the safest thing for my iPad.  I am thoroughly disappointed.  Now my $930 iPad is permanently damaged.

    I have the smart case, basically the same as the cover, and have yet to experience a scratch in over three years of use.
    I do not want to have to pay $100 to get the screen replaced.
    If it bothers you, you don't have much choice. Isn't that part of the reason you bought Applecare+?
    I overpaid to have an Apple-brand cover, just because I thought this would be the safest thing for my iPad.
    You did not overpay, you paid what Apple charged. No cover is going to protect 100% of the device. The scratch could have come from anything besides the cover. Any cover is better than no cover.
    Now my $930 iPad is permanently damaged.
    Uh, no. You can have the device replaced with a refurbished model. New case, battery and screen. To get the device replaced is only 10% of the cost of a new device. Use your Applecare+ for what it was intended. Otherwise you paid more for Applecare+ than you did for the cover yet complain about the price of the cover.

  • Hi, I'm currently browsing the web looking for a case that is compatible with the smart cover for the iPad 2. If anyone has any suggestions I would be glad to read all opinions! Thanks!

    I love the Smart Cover. It fits the way I work and I love the instant on/off and the always available screen protection. I wouldn't use my iPad without it.
    I got a Cover Buddy for the back, because I wanted the back to be less slippery when I'm using the iPad in the classroom, teaching. I picked this back cover because it's VERY lightweight, easy to get on or off and, protects the corners, has accurate cutouts for the ports, and (in the colors) has a rubberized surface:

    I have a Built NY "hoody" slip on case with a hard internal shell that I use when I'm in the field and I can put the iPad with the Smart Cover and the Cover Buddy inside this . But for everyday use, the Smart Cover with the Cover Buddy is a terrific combination.

  • I have a smart cover for my iPad which works brilliantly, but I don't know how to clean it ?

    I have a smart cover for my iPad which works brilliantly, but I don't know how to clean it ? I was very naive in choosing the "cream" colored one and now it doesn't look so neat ... Any ideas ?

    Please disregard my question - just found the answer elsewhere on this page :-)

  • If I buy the smart cover and my iPad have a code, when I open the case will be unlocked?

    I would like to buy the iPad mini smart cover, but my iPad have a password, so I don't know if I get it, the cover will auto unlocked my password?

    No.  When you open the Smart cover, the iPad will be at the Enter Passcode screen waiting for you to enter it.  No Autounlock.

  • Smart Cover and Dock (iPad 2)

    For those that have the iPad 2 and using the Smart Cover in conjunction with the Dock.
    I currently have a Smart Cover for my iPad 2 and have a Dock on order.
    Question:
    Can I leave the Smart Cover on the iPad2 while docking it using the Dock for iPad2?
    Thanks

    I have no doubt it'll work with the Smart Cover on THE FRONT..
    The question is ; does it work when you open the cover, and put it on the back of the iPad?
    I'd like to keep the cover on (the backside) and see the screen WHILE I charge it in the new iPad2 docking...
    Is this possible?
    Thanks

  • Does the magnetic smart cover affect my iPad mini performance? ( screen display, motherboard, software/hardware)

    Does the magnetic smart cover affect my iPad mini performance? ( screen display, motherboard, software/hardware)

    No, the magnet used there is too weak to affect the hardware of your tablet.

  • Does the iPad 3 smart cover fit the iPad Air?

    does the iPad 3 smart cover fit the iPad Air?

    No - if you look at the specs, the sizes of the two devices is quite different.

  • IPad air Smart Cover not aligning properly

    Is anyone else having issues?
    My nice new iPad air arrived on Tuesday, 3 days latter I received my apple Smart Cover! Why not send them together? That's another storey.
    After a days use, I notice that the cover is not aligning properly, then I read online that it could be an issues with the actual iPad not the cover, anyone else having these problems?
    Experienced outcomes?
    Regards

    You don't have this option?
    Open Settings->General->Lock/Unlock...make sure it is toggled on.
    Also, try restarting the iPad then check Settings again.
    When the iPad recognizes that the cover is installed that setting should appear and as I can recall, it defaults to that setting being ON.  Are you using an Apple Smart Cover or a third party cover.  If it's an Apple cover & that setting doesn't appear, take the cover back to the store & exchange it,  there may be a problem with the magnet placement in the cover.  If that doesn't fix the issue then you may have to make an appointment at a Genius Bar to have them run a diagnostic on your iPad.

  • I am having trouble with the Smart Cover not staying on the ipad mini.

    I just recently got a iPad mini, and, looking for something to protect the screen without adding bulk, I bought a Smart Cover.  It's nice, but I noticed that it doesn't stay closed against the screen, it slides off very easily, and I'm afraid will come off in a bag and turn it on and off by accident. Please help!

    Take it to a genius bar. It's probably something with the magnets.

  • Why isn't my Smart Cover locking my iPad?

    My Smart Cover is no longer locking my iPad 2. I have rebooted and turned off the cover lock, closed the cover and then turned it back on...nothing changes.

    First make sure you've updated the iOS.
    Go to settings/general/ make sure ipad cover lock/unlock is turned on.
    After verifying that, and still does not work then....
    Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

    My Smart Cover no longer puts my iPad to sleep, any ideas?

    Try resetting the iPad.  Check the setting to be sure it reflects sleep when closed.
