Kind of a weird thing to ask but here it goes. Does anybody notice when their iPad Air hasn't been used in a while and you first you it it's usually cold. My hands were cold as well and when I was using it the back felt warm. But it when I touch it on another part of my body like arm or face it is cold. Like a day and night difference I notice from holding it when my hands are also cold. Weird. Is this normal or should I go back yet again to Apple xD. Like I'll be touch the back with my cold hand and it feels warm but a second later touch it to my arm and its cold.

It's all normal in fact that's how a heatsink works. During a summer day or when it's warm outside the device will feel cooler to the touch.
 
When I was in New York for school last year the weather was so awfully cold, iPad keeps my hands warm. It is perfectly normal. :apple:
