I have the iPad smart cover on my iPad 3 and after some time I've noticed a few scratches on the side of my iPad. Only a cosmetic thing, but wondering if apple one year warranty covers cosmetic damages. It was their faulty cover and error in creating a protective cover. So, again, will the warranty over it?
iPad 2, iOS 5.1.1
I'd take it into an Apple Store and ask, but I doubt the one-year warranty will cover minor stuff like cosmetic damages. I imagine it only covers problems like the iPad just suddenly dying on you for no reason. It might depend just how bad the damages are, too.
HOWEVER, if you really really don't like the cosmetic damages you can get AppleCare (I think it's around $99 for iPads) and they'll replace it for you rather than having to pony up $500+ for another iPad.
No.
Warranty covers manufacturing defects or hardware failure only.
Does Apple iPad warranty cover cosmetic damages?
