Purely for curiosity, as having to do this on a regular basis is impractical, at least in my case.
Weird. I don't wait as long as 30 seconds. I wait until the cover image is completely displayed and the screen has finished changing.

I wonder, does your case perhaps have an edge of material that slightly hangs over the bezel? Perhaps that is what is interrupting the IR beams and it's not the cover at all.

Yay! Well done and thank you. Good to know the Mini is affected after all.
