Will iPad Propped Up on Smart Cover Be Enough to Charge Overnight?

I was thinking that instead of spending even more money to buy a dock, when I have to charge my iPad overnight I would just prop it up via the Smart Cover positions and charge it (instead of laying it flat on the table and taking up space). But will the magnets in the Smart Cover be able to hold it up all night? I'm afraid it might fall forward and break. Thanks!

Things do go bump in the night... I would keep it flat or buy a stand for the iPad.
This is the stand I bought from the Apple Store. It is small, lightweight and folds up....

Fits both the iPad 1 and 2....

  • 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..

  • How to clean iPad mini retina red smart  Cover case

       Hi i need to know how to clean mi iPad mini retina red Smart Cover
    Thanks

    Hi Leemrt,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    See this article for tips on cleaning your Apple products:
    How to clean Apple products

    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.
    iPad Smart Cover and Smart Case—leather
    The iPad leather cover/case is made from natural aniline leather. Its appearance will change as you use it. It may acquire a patina and may change color due to the oils from your skin and direct sunlight, further enhancing the natural look.
    Cleaning the leather may affect its color. If you choose to clean the leather, first remove the cover/case from your iPad. Use a clean cloth with warm water and mild hand soap to gently clean the leather. Wipe the outside and the inside with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove any dirt. You can also use a mild cleaner along with a dry clean cloth. Mild cleaners or conditioners may help remove some stains but may also change the color of the leather.
    Keep your iPad leather cover/case away from prolonged intense sunlight, heat, and humidity. Exposure to water, oil, makeup, and dyed materials (such as denim) can stain tanned leathers.
    All the best,
    Jeremy

    Hi !
    Whats the best sleeve to carry an iPad Mini Retina with Smart Cover, back cover and an Adonis Stylus ?
    Thanks !

    I use the i-Blason Cushion Sleeve. The iPad Mini fits great and there is a little zipper pouch for a charger and stylus. 

  • Ipad 2 dimming after smart cover is opened

    Why does my ipad's screen dim after I open the smart cover?  Then I have to touch it first so it wakes up

    I don't have the iPad2 so I can't use the Smart Cover (don't think I would choose to use it anyway from what I have read about it) but I thought this was interesting ....
    What happens if you remove the Smart Cover completely - i.e. don't use it at all - and power the iPad up using the Power switch. Do you get the same problem then? The iPad has an ambient light sensor too that measures how bright it is where the iPad is being used - it turns up the screen brightness when it's bright to make the screen easier to read and turns down the brightness when it's dark, so that it doesn't blind you. Sometimes the light sensor can be inadvertently covered which can cause it to appear to malfunction.
    I copied that text from this forum.

  • IPad 2 cases for smart cover

    Any suggestions for a back cover for an iPad 2 with a smart cover?

    I did A TON of reasearch and I've narrowed down this choice to two options that work perfectly for home, travel and professional use.  I rotate between the two. 
    (1) Smart Cover Set Up:  II love my smart cover, but I only had to see a friend drop his iPad once to know the back needed protection.  I didn't want to loose the slim esthetics of the device, so this thin, clear back cover has been perfect.  I've had at least 5 friends buy the same one.

    (2) CrownCase Black Leather:  It is really faux leather, but it works for me.  It is the highest rated case on Amazon and it's as good as advertised.  This case fits perfectly, allows access to all controls, and doesn't impete the speaker.  Love it!

  • Ipad 3 scratches/cracks Smart Cover

    Hi ,
    I have had my ipad since October and noticed a small crack on the screen. Today I looked again and it is getting bigger ! I am very very careful with my ipad and have the Smart Cover on it 24/7.
    Can the smart covers cause scratches on the ipad ? And is small scratches/cracks covered in the warranty?
    Cheers Josh

    I am afraid cracks and scratches is not covered by the warranty.

  • Clicking magnets inside of iPad Air after using Smart Cover for some time

    I have read that many people experience clicking magnets inside of iPad Air after using Apple Smart Cover for some time.
    I experienced the same thing and returned the device to the shop where i bought it, while still having the warranty.
    They wrote me after 11 days of having my iPad that it is fixed and i can come for it, i was not yet there.
    Please tell me, how can i realize that they warranty serviced my iPad?
    I have read that many people get new device with same issue, and mine just got fixed somehow...
    It is not Apple Store it is Apple Premium Reseller, was their service OK or they just did not wanted to give me new device?
    How can i get to know they were acting correctly?
    Thanks for the answer

    Everything is OK, they gave my whole new iPad Air

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to plug ipad 2 with the smart cover on the dock station?

    I'm wondering if the dock station can be used while Ipad2 is covered by the SmartCover?
    Thank in advance for answers !
    Greetings from France

    I before I bought my case for my iPad2 I had the cover on it, in order to get it in the dock I had to slightly open the cover to seat the iPad on the dock then I could close it again. There is not enough room in the cradle to hold the iPad with the cover closed (tight fit without the cover), but I did not have to remove the cover to put it in, just open it.

  • Case that works with iPad 2 Dock and Smart Cover

    The title says it all , if possible list websites and full product details.
    Many Thanks

    This case meets all my requirements, however I am not sure that anyone makes one that will work with the dock, except an amoured film shield.

  • IPad Air won't turn on even after fully charging overnight and won't reset using the power and home button.

    I have tried charging the ipad over night and no matter what I do it won't turn on. I did try plugging it into my computer and itunes recognized it once, but I wasn't able to restore it. Please help. It's only 3 months past warranty.

    If you have owned the device, as in purchased from Apple, less than a year then there will be no charge to repair, or most likely, replace the device. If you have had the device more than a year you will be charged an out of warranty cost for replacement ($219 I think) and that is much cheaper than a new device. If you have Applecare+ then you have an additional year of coverage and the replacement will be $49 or $79 depending on when you got the Applecare.

  • Does Apple replaces iPad That have been scratch by the smart cover ?

    Hi everyone !
    Yesterday I found that I have a big scratch on the left side of my iPad third gen... This scratch have been made by my smart cover ... I called apple and they said that it's not suppose to happen ! I also read on Internet that when your iPad has this problem apple replaces yours for free ... Is that true ... Sorry for my bad English ;)

    It would be difficult to prove that the scratch was caused by the Smart Cover and not by some accident that you had.
    is that so?

    to be fair, apple gave me a new ipad and a new smart cover, but im pretty sure this will happen again.

  • Does the Smart Cover protect the ipad mini from falls

    I have smashed my ipad mini and am getting a new one. I need something to protect the screen from falls and the Smart Cover doesn't look like it will do it?

    The Smart Cover will provide no real protection against falls. Only a case will provide much protection, and then only a case that provides significant padding or other shock protection, cases like the Otterbox models.
    Regards.

  • IPad 2 Smart Cover and Airport Xray

    Is there any ill effects when you send your ipad 2 with a smart cover (which contains magnets) through the airports Xray scanners?
    Just curious since xray scanners use magnets to scan correct?

    Mine has skated through several airport scanners with no bad effects.   A a matter of interest, while they still want you do put your laptop in a seperate bin, there is no problam putting a pad thru inside a briefcase or suitcase.  They seem to know what it looks like on the scanner, and i have not had to get it out at all.
