iOS 9 Volume Indicator with Smart Cover bug

Just putting this out there for those searching for the same issue...

There is currently a bug in iOS 9 that prevents the on-screen volume indicator from being displayed on-screen when the device is wakened from sleep using the Smart Cover/Smart Case. The volume buttons still do in fact adjust the volume as they should, but there is no on-screen volume indicator that shows the volume and it's adjustment level. The workaround is to sleep the device again, but waken it using the Sleep/Wake switch rather than the Smart Cover...or simply wake the device using the Sleep/Wake switch in the first place. This has been tested on two iPad mini 2's and an iPad Air 2.

AM having this same exact problem. It's a pain having to sleep the device every time I open the Smart Cover. I like using my Smart Cover for the ease and to protect the screen. I've sent in a report a bug to Apple so I'm hoping this gets enough attention for them to address it. Im not the only one who's having this problem as I've been contacted by a few people. Do you notice when you close your Smart Cover it is making a different clicking noise from before the ios9 update. Im getting a low single click rather than the loud double click as before.
