I would like to return my smart cover of my new ipad 9. The cover shows as not delivered, however, it has been delivered in advance of the ipad. The ipad has now come and I didn’t open the box of the cover until that time, only to find that it did not have a back. I have had experience of single sided magnetic grip covers previously and really find them totally useless and always falling off. I would not have ordered if this had been clear in the discription. I would like to return the cover. I dont live near one of your shops (sadly) so can I send it back in the post? Thank you.
