I blame the keyboard folio. When I was using it with the SmartCase, it was flawless. I suspect that when there's sand or some rough particle sticks to the screen or top part of the keyboard (battery compartment), it grinds on both part and scratch the SP. If they line the top part with suede or something soft, it would not scratch the sp. Their FabricSkin keyboard folio pulak damn expensive at usd150.

Question to iPad Air users here, as I'm not using any case yet... I noticed when charging my iPad Air, if I were to put my fingers and slightly rub on the metal case it sorts of vibrates similar behavior to my rMBP when charging. Is this common? Does it happen to your unit too?

For MBPr, use the extension cable that came with it instead of direct plug on the brick charger. Cause there's no grounding if charging without the extension cable icon_rolleyes.gif

Was going to try for the rMBP but the unit is usually with my gf and the cable with me sweat.gif , haven't got to try it yet. But I'm surprised my iPad Air also have this issue! Don't tell me the USB charging outlet provided is not grounded? But I see 3 pin...

Yes you see 3 pins but it's still not gounded. When you separate the 3 pin adapter with the usb charger, it only connect live and neutral. The 3rd pin is just to accommodate our socket standard.

This is referring to the iPad Air's original charger? But I see there's like a slot to put a fuse in, and the ground pin is metal too.

Yes I was referring to the iPad charger as below

The ground pin can be metal but it is still not connected to grounding. Remember when we need to use 2 pin plug on a 3 pin socket where we jam pen or test pens to get the socket open? In this case, the 3rd pin serve this purpose.

Actually the fuse is not for grounding, it's to cut any overload from the live connection.

If you see in the picture below, where the round metal thing on the side, that is the grounding for the adapter (usually found on Macbook or MBA charger). The 3 pin plug also have a metal contact in the insert to complete the grounding.

Ahh! Okay that explains, then its perfectly normal for iPad Air then since there's no cable option anyways right? But then again, somehow why didn't Apple noticed this small issue sigh.
