Hot iPad

[The OB]

Sometimes, but not always, I take my iPad out of my briefcase and it is warm to the touch; warmer than it should be, I think. Any comments, tips, folklore, or expert opinions?

Is that a Russian Blue you are holding? Lovely cats! Ours tends to flop and perch onto anything that is remotely comfortable. Yours might do that on the briefcase creating a fair bit of warmth?

No No, did I really write this? Silly thought, as it would be if I mentioned about leaving it in a sunny spot. Not much help to you at all, I know, but I'm also intrigued by what could possibly be the reason for the iPad getting hot if you haven't used it before putting it in your briefcase.

The frustrating thing is that there must be an answer. I hope you will find it Mr. Davey. Admiral Adama's suggestion seems the only course of action now.
Regards, Andrew

I'm in La, there's one almost in walking distance, will this Genius cost me anything?

You have an iPad 3 so your 1 year warranty remains in force. As KevinJS noted making an appointment (by phone or on-line) ensures you're served promptly when you arrive. I've dealt with the Genius Bar to resolve iPhone and iPad issues and have always left satisfied.

Please note that leaving the screen on at full or high brightness will also make your iPad very warm. I assume you aren't doing that and that it is not on while inside the case. A trip to the Apple store may help but they do need to reproduce the problem to help you.

Well I do have one of those cases that wakes it up. Maybe the display wasn't off, that could happen.
