Maintenance
To keep your ESR Classic Hybrid Clear Case in optimal condition:
- Cleaning: Wipe the case regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, fingerprints, and smudges. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.
- Storage: When not in use, store the case in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent potential discoloration over time, although the material is designed to be yellowing resistant.
Troubleshooting
- Case feels too tight/loose: Ensure you have the correct model of iPad Pro (11-inch M5/M4 2025/2024). Refer to the compatibility section for model numbers.
- Apple Pencil not charging: Verify that the Apple Pencil is correctly aligned with the magnetic charging strip on the side of the iPad. The case's recessed groove is designed to accommodate this.
- Discoloration/Yellowing: While the case is made with yellowing-resistant materials, prolonged exposure to UV light can affect clear cases. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help maintain its clarity.
- Compatibility with other accessories: This case is not compatible with the Apple Magic Keyboard or other keyboard cases that require direct magnetic attachment to the iPad's back.
