FAQs
Does this case protect against water damage?
This case is designed for drop and scratch protection. It is not waterproof and does not offer protection against water damage.
Can I use my Apple Pencil with this case?
The case is designed to be ultra-thin, but Apple Pencil compatibility can vary. While the case provides access to the side for charging, the folio cover might need to be held back or removed for optimal attachment and charging of the Apple Pencil.
Is the stand adjustable?
The stand is created by folding the folio. While not a multi-angle adjustable mechanism, it provides stable typing and viewing positions suitable for most users.
How durable is the clear back?
The clear back is designed to be scratch-resistant, but it can still be scratched by sharp objects. Regular cleaning with a microfiber cloth will help maintain its clarity.
What does 'drop tested to meet military standard (MIL-STD-810G 516.6)' mean?
This means the case has undergone rigorous testing to withstand drops from a certain height, simulating real-world accidental impacts, offering a high level of protection.
Can I charge my iPad wirelessly with this case on?
This specific folio case design is not optimized for wireless charging due to the folio cover and internal components. It is recommended to charge via the cable connected to the iPad's port.
Troubleshooting
Tablet does not wake/sleep when folio is opened/closed.
Ensure the folio is closing completely and magnets are not obstructed. Check for any metal objects near the case. Clean the magnetic contact points on the folio and the tablet's edge.
Case feels loose or doesn't fit snugly.
Remove the iPad and re-seat it, ensuring all edges and corners are firmly clicked into place. Verify you have the correct iPad model for this case.
Stand is unstable or slips.
Ensure the iPad is positioned correctly within the folio's stand crease. Confirm the tablet is on a flat, stable surface. Clean the no-skid rubber feet to ensure maximum grip.
Smudges or fingerprints on the clear back.
Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the clear back. For stubborn marks, slightly dampen the cloth with water only.
