iPad 4 gets hot specially on lower left area. Should I be alarmed?

My mom bought me an iPad 4 recently and I noticed that it gets too hot specially on the lower left area. And it bothers me. Should I be alarmed?

iPad, iOS 6.1.3

If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...

Be sure to make an appointment first...

Use it without the sleeve. You must be playing lots of game 🙂

Tried it, still the same. Maybe it's just the temperature of my room affecting the iPad. Hmm...

So yeah, the sleeve contributes to the heating of the tablet but without it, it's still kinda warm. Thanks anyway.

The cover actually acts as a heat-sink; it conducts the heat away from the CPU.
