Smart cover's problem?

Can the magnets of the cover create problems for the ipad?

i have the iPad 3 and since the day i bought it (june 2012) i had a smart cover on it.
it eventually started to cause scratches where the magnet joined the iPad as there were metal bits poking out of the case.
i went into apple and i knew that they probably just tell me no to replacing it so i said my ipad had wifi issues (which it sort of did) and then mentioned the scratches they replaced my ipad but only for the wifi issues not the srcatches but refused to replace the cover saying that general wear isnt covered by the warranty but after a long argument (which i won) they replaced the cover with the new case which has no magnets yayyy.
so overall no the the cover yes to the case which is £4 more

  • Smart Cover Sleep problems

    I have an iPad 2 and a polyurethane smart cover. Sometimes when I open the cover, the iPad wakes up then dims the display indicating it's going back to sleep. I just open the cover and it pretty much prepares itself for sleep mode right after. Is this normal? Is it a bug in the OS? Does anyone else have this issue?

    I have this issue, too. In my opinion, it's a software bug, but is only my opinion. Do you have notices about this?

  • Does anyone has a problem with the screen of the new ipad? (there's a part of the screen which the color in it is "very" bright) and when I move the aluminium part of the smart cover when it's attached to the ipad the colors change!! Help!!!

    I'd take it into my local APple store and have them look at it. There may be something wrong inside your device.

  • I'm having problems with iPad 2 and my smart cover.  The attachment seems to be depolarized and it moves around causing the device to toggle and flash like its coming on or shorting.  Anyone having problems?

    I'm having problems with iPad 2 and my smart cover.  The attachment seems to be depolarized, trys to connect using the back (curved) edge of the magnetized bracket.  When I try to attach it, it moves around causing the device to toggle in a way that looks like the camera flash.  Anyone having problems? Help.

    Update. My carrier says the antenna of my iPhone 4s is not so good as the one in the iPhone 3G. They can't solve the problem. Their signal is too weak for the 4s at places I spend most of my time. Not the answer I expected, but I'm free to choose an other carrier. Hope this will help.
    This was not the correct answer, I accidentially clicked the button..

  • 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. 

  • IPad 2 smart cover sleep/lock problems?

    Been using my iPad for a good month now.  I'm loving it.  I have noticed that using the smart cover, you have to have the pass code on in order for the cover to put the device into sleep/wake.  When I have the passcode setting off, the smart cover aligned to device fine but does not give the audible click upon closing.  When passcode if off, I also notice a higher battery drain versus the lock code turned on and I hear the sound click.  Do I have a defective cover?  Suggestions??

  • How can a new iPad smart cover of polyurethane having moister problems

    I bought the New iPad with a smart cover, Now after 3 months one side of the smart cover is getting lose and I sent it bach to the store after investigation he said apple doesnot give any garantee becos of moister issues. How is this possible as polyurethane doesnot absorbe moister.
    What can I do?

    Yea, I know, I figured it out shortly after. I feel kinda silly now but it just seemed too easy after all the fuss with Apple support. Like I said, if they don't really know what their talking about they go off in all sorts of crazy directions. I wasn't even having Compressor issues like so many others do (told ya my computer never lets me down). Not sure what the lesson here was, Apple Care is usually pretty helpful (or atleast moreso than other tech supports), but next time I'm having trouble with anything remotely music related they will be the last ones I call.
         By the way, thanks for the reply anyway and reading my lenghty complaining. I really needed to blow off some steam after that needless ruckus.

  • 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 .

  • Smart cover not working properly after upgrade to iOS7

  • Smart cover interfearing with notification

    I Have had my iPad 2 for some time now and I have a smart cover I am running iOS 5.0.1, Now I have my Notifications setup and when I have the smart cover closed and sitting on my desk, coffee table, etc. There is no alert of notifications but the moment I open the cover all the notifications that happened while the cover was closed come rushing in.
    Now I purchased an iPad 3 which is running iOS 5.1 and I went a purchased the official Apple Smart cover with it and have already noticed that it is doing the same thing as the iPad 2.
    I have gone through all the settings and made sure that everything is setup correctly I know the notifications work as when the smart cover is off on both of the iPad 2 & 3 they work perfectly everytime.
    So! My questio is what could I be doing wrong is there something that I have missed or is this a common problem.
    Thanks in advance

    Thank you for yoru response, SBerman.
    The reason for this question is because of the weight and dimensional differences between the iPad 2 and the New iPad.
    iPad 2 is 0.346 inches (8.8 mm) while the New iPad 0.37 inches (9.4 mm).
    For Wi-Fi with iPad 2, it weighs 1.33 pounds (601 grams) against 1.44 pounds (652 grams) for the New iPad. iPad 2 WiFi + 3G weighs 1.35 pounds (613 grams) against 1.46 pounds (662 grams) for New iPad WiFi + Cellular.
    Considering the magnets for the older covers were designed for lesser weight and thickness, there must be some usage implications and effect on wear. At least logically there must be one.
    I've also been told that the newer Smart Covers (in the markets post May 2012) have a stronger linking and less incidences of unbonding once it is standing or when being held when in the triangular formation used for typing or FaceTime.

  • IPad smart cover ripping at sides

    My iPad smart cover at the sides is breaking and separating. I lost the receipt will apple still give me a new one if I take it back With out the receipt?

    Mine has been good thank god, but I know with the smart cover they were having problems with the early ones. I read somewhere that people even without a receipt could go in for an exchange. You never know.

    Why has my ipad2 stopped clicking when I close the smart cover?

    I forgot that I had slid the slide switch to the off position for notifications and alerts.  Problem solved.

  • Cant get the smart cover to click on to the ipad 2 anymore

    The smart cover doesnt come to place the right way on my ipad2 anymore. It stopped working. The magnets are there but its like they have been pushed to the side inside the ipad.

    The only way to fix this problem is: send it back to apple and order a new one...
    hope this helps
