I wanted to know if anyone else is having this issue. I searched, but didn't come across any threads.
I bought an 11 inch iPad Pro back in October, shortly after they came out. I also purchased an Apple Smart Folio with it. After a couple of months, I noticed that the white finish on the folio was bubbling where I touch it, and now it's taken over most of the backside of the case. I've only ever owned first-party Apple accessories, and none of their past covers, cases or folios have ever done this. I still have a Smart Cover from my iPad 2 that looks brand new.
I don't wear any type of lotion on my hands, and have been using the same hand soap for years, so I can't imagine what's causing it.
To me, this looks terrible, and not what I would expect from an $80 folio. I have AppleCare + on my iPad, but aren't accessories covered under a one year warranty anyway? I think I'm going to have Apple replace it, then if the issue happens again, I'll refuse another one, going third-party for the first time ever.
Case quality in general seems to be going downhill. I've been using Apple's silicone cases on my iPhone since the 6, and still have those cases in great condition. I went through three silicone cases for my X, all with the same cracking/peeling issue at the bottom. I'm using a third party case now that hasn't had any issues.
