Mine warped and buckled after 6 months. I wondered why my iPad battery drained so fast. Has this happened to others?

Yes it does seem to war op a bit but it cost like what fourteen bucks? Anyway I lean it against something to hold it shut. It's amazing how hard it seems to be to design an effective useful cover. I never would have thought. All in all it works ok and it's cheap and it doesn't have the screen surface touching dirty surfaces.

May be two separate issues. My cover is still great after 3 months...and I have a 5 year old using the tablet...almost like new. I also found that the battery was draining quickly...more quickly than my other IPAD. Turns out I had to turn down the screen brightness and other other such automatic battery drainers. I did this and the batter is 50% better...still not as good as my old IPAD but much, much better. But...maybe you do have a leaking battery...if that kind of battery leaks....you should 'Google' that question. There's a whole section of the Internet devoted to getting better battery life for your IPAD Air2. Sorry I couldn't exactly answer your question...

My first one lasted well over one year before it started to fall apart. Probably close to 2 years, but I am pretty gentle using my devices. I agree the low price is worth the length of time it lasted.

Mine was fine. I had no problems with it. Maybe you got one that had a defect.

Same here 4 months no problems and then after not using it for a month it magically has a short in it. Same thing with the weird angles. It is very fragile because I hadn't been abusing it at all.

I'm having the same problem with the one I just bought. The auto-shutoff function kicks in when magnets in the case align with sensors on the iPad; I'm wondering if the ones in our cases are misaligned or just too weak to trip the sensor. I found that if I hold the case tight against the iPad and wiggle it around a bit I can get it to trip occasionally. There is a setting under "General" to turn the feature on and off, but it won't even show unless you've successfully tripped the cover sensors at least once.I'd debating whether it's worth exchanging the case for a new one.

Did not happen to me, but my gut would say you did not put on the case properly. My first instinct would be to take it apart, then make sure your external slider matches up with the mute/ lock button, then put it back on carefully. If that does not do it probably send it back as it may be a faulty case. (make sure ipad is not faulty as well).

Haven't had an issue with mine; however, I would hope that after only six months of use, amazon would take a return and get you a new one! Amazon!?!

After I email Sharkk, they ask me to shut down and restart the ipad. I guess this must have fix it for some people but it didn't work for me. I'm not aware of any fix to this problem but I know from talking to Sharkk guest service that they are working on solving this issue. The guest service person was very professional and polite, so I suggest you contact them about this problem also.

NO! My Apple lap top crashed and burned a month after I bought is and I could not find anyone that would or could fix it! Garbage!

I can say it is terrible with my Ipad. I drive a truck so there is some vibration but it will not make a 30 minute trip without having to adjust it. I'd try something else. Hope this helps.

Mine is not warped. Make sure you have put it on in the proper orientation. Could also be a defect.

Hi Rick, Unfortunately we dropped out iPad and it didn't stop the screen smashing. We now have a Griffin case. Sorry for the late reply have been travelling and no wi-fi.

Nope. I've had mine a month and it's been great. I have seen the smear lines on iPads with Apple Smart Covers. Hopefully it wipes off. I am using a screen protector too FWIW.

I have never had this experience and I have been using mine regularly for about 5 months. Yours may have a defect.

Can you return it? If you did not drop it maybe it was defective. I have mine for over 6 months and I have no issues.
1488025
I would contact them ASAP and have them send you a new one. Also, do you have any other device to test it with? For instance, an iPhone? That way you can see if it purely is a defective unit or whether it is just having trouble working with that iPad.

The software should not interfere with the charge functioning. You may have a damaged charger, especially if the cord was too sharply bent during mounting each time? If it's a hard bend, consider repositioning the mount slightly. Also, you can check the charger by testing with another I-phone.

Yes mine is flimsy too. It likes to work its way off. Another irritating feature.
