4. Maintenance and Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your ProCase, follow these simple care guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the case regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth and air drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Avoid Extreme Conditions: Do not expose the case to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or corrosive substances, as this may cause material degradation or discoloration.
• Handling: While the case offers protection, avoid unnecessary drops or impacts to both the case and your iPad.

5. Troubleshooting

Most issues with a protective case are minor. Here are some common concerns and their solutions:

• Case Does Not Fit:

  Ensure your iPad is the 4th Generation 10.9 inch (2020 model numbers A2324, A2072, A2316, A2325). This case is not compatible with other iPad models. Double-check the model number on the back of your iPad.

• Auto Sleep/Wake Not Working:

  Verify that the iPad's "Lock/Unlock" feature is enabled in Settings > Display & Brightness. Also, ensure the case cover is fully closed and making proper contact with the screen.

• Apple Pencil Not Charging:

  Ensure your Apple Pencil is a 2nd Generation model, as only this version supports wireless charging. Confirm the pencil is correctly seated in the holder and making magnetic contact with the iPad's charging strip.
• Case Appears Scratched/Cloudy:

  Confirm that all protective films have been removed from both sides of the translucent back panel. These films are often mistaken for scratches or cloudiness.
