Will iPad Smart Cover stain iPad?

Hi all,


Sorry if this is a stupid, OCD-related question... but I just bought white iPad with Retina and red leather smart cover to go along with it.


I'm thinking about whether or not returning the case, because I read a message somewhere that the interior of the red case can stain the white lining around the edges of the ipad.


Is this something I need to worry about? Or am I just being paranoid?

Do you have a Smart Cover or a smart case?

If you have a Smart Cover, I would worry about the aluminium-end causing scratches. I simply put a string adhesive film on the area, where the aluminium of the smart cover is touching the iPad, and it still looks like on the first day I bought it (Belkin Case, Mumbi Screen Protector and original Smart Cover).

If you are thinking about putting a screen protector on it, I know a simple trick how to avoid dust under the protector. Go to a room with closed windows, close the door, sit down with the iPad at a table and wait for around 3-5 Minutes without moving too much (while watching tv for example). Most of the dust should be on the floor, and not in the air anymore. Now you can clean the screen of the iPad and put the protector on the screen. Don't worry about trying two or three times, without the dust, you can try much often to get a perfect result. I already put 4 screen protectors on tablets and more than 15 on phones and iPods :-)


The glass shouldn't get stain, it is too slick for the material to stick on the glass.
