Smart cover fraying at the corner

One of the corners of the smart cover is coming a part. I can see the magnet.


Anyone else seeing this?


It was purchased the 1st Saturday the iPad 2 was released, so I guess exchanging is out of the question.

even though there are 4 (5?) apple stores here in nyc, i didnt want to make a special trip just for this. today i happened to be around one of them.


yup, they replaced it. was told that the cover has a one year warranty. my leather was fraying on 3 of the 4 corners. i swear didnt do anything to it to cause this, but now im wondering could it be "sweat" from the bag i put it in. though canvas, the lining is basically plastic.

One year warranty? I just called into Apple support and was told 90 days warranty on the smart cover. I bought mine in March and it's fraying in the bottom corner and separating on the spindle where it attaches on the side.


$60 dollars for an accessory that starts to fall apart within 6 months, and no help from Apple Support. I'm not a happy customer.
