  • weird problem with Fintie case on iPad Pro 11"

    From heron stone@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jul 3 13:19:02 2023
    i just received this case which has a slot to store the Apple pencil

    the pencil goes from 100% to 7% in 14 hours when stored in the slot

    the goes from 100% to 92% when left out on the desk

    ? does anyone have an idea as to what is going on here

    thanks

    It's possibly being turned on when you insert it into the loop. Have a
    look at this video;

    My 7th gen iPad was in a Fintie magnetic folio case and worked fine for
    years. Then one day, the iPad started self-discharging overnight. I did
    the usual reboot/hard reset/wipe-setup as a new device chicken=dances
    all with no joy.

    So I concluded there was something wrong with it and wiped/reset it
    again prior to listing it on Craig's as an As Is/Parts Only device. I
    also took it out of its Fintie case to photograph it.

    But something came up and I ended up setting the project aside for a
    week and a half. When I resumed, the charge had dropped from 100% to 98%.

    I set it up again and used it without the case for three weeks and it
    worked fine. I also wiped it and restored it from a backup I had made
    while it was self-discharging--- and it was still fine.

    Culprit? Fontie case!

    Bought a cheapie plain vanilla vinyl case on Ebay and it's worked fine
    for several months now...

    thanks Wade,

    the iPad is not discharging excessively

    it’s just the pencil

    i don’t understand how a rubber case can cause a pencil to discharge
    rapidly
