5. Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Spigen Rugged Armor Pro case, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the case regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the PC+TPU material.
- Dust Removal: Periodically remove your iPad from the case to clean any accumulated dust or debris that may scratch the device.
- Avoid Extreme Conditions: Do not expose the case to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this may cause material degradation or discoloration.
6. Troubleshooting
- Difficulty Inserting/Removing iPad: The case is designed for a snug fit. Ensure proper alignment and apply gentle, even pressure during installation or removal. Avoid excessive force.
- Apple Pencil Not Charging: The case supports Apple Pencil magnetic attachment and charging. If your Apple Pencil is not charging, ensure it is placed directly on the iPad's magnetic charging strip. If you are using a thick sleeve on your Apple Pencil, it may interfere with magnetic charging while the iPad is in the case. Remove the pencil sleeve if this occurs.
- Stand Instability: Ensure the trifold stand is correctly folded into a stable triangular shape. Place it on a flat, even surface.
