If iPad overheats when in an after market keypad enclosure???

While using my iPad for an extended time, it seems be warmer than usual. I just purchased an after market keypad case and wonder if that could cause it. Should I be concerned?

It is not unusual for an iPad to become warm when being used - more so when using some types of iPad case. High screen brightness and/or CPU intensive Apps will also create more heat. Some third-party cases might not, ultimately, be suitable for your iPad.


The key point is that whilst your iPad may become very warm in normal use, the iPad should not become uncomfortably hot to handle. If your iPad is becoming too hot to hold, you should take your iPad along to the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store - where the technicians can examine and test your iPad for faults.
