contentView not indenting in iOS 6 UITableViewCell prototype cell

Question

I am configuring a custom UITableViewCell using a prototype cell in a Storyboard. However, all the UILabels (and other UI elements) do not seem to

Based on the code by Skoota (I am a beginner, don't know much of what you did, but excellent work) my suggestion is to put all your stuff in an edge-to-edge container view and add the following:

In the cell's header file, I have the following IBOutlets:

@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIView *container;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet NSLayoutConstraint *leftConstrain;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet NSLayoutConstraint *rightConstrain;

In the implementation file, I have the following in awakeFromNib:

// Remove the IB added horizontal constraint, as that's effective gainst the cell not the contentView
[self removeConstraint:self.leftConstrain];
[self removeConstraint:self.rightConstrain];

// Create a dictionary to represent the view being positioned
NSDictionary *containerViewDictionary = NSDictionaryOfVariableBindings(_container);

// Create the new left constraint (0 spacing because of the edge-to-edge view 'container')
NSArray *constraints = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"|-0-[_container]" options:0 metrics:nil views:containerViewDictionary];
// Add the left constraint against the contentView
[self.contentView addConstraints:constraints];

// Create the new constraint right (will fix the 'Delete' button as well)
constraints = [NSLayoutConstraint constraintsWithVisualFormat:@"[_container]-0-|" options:0 metrics:nil views:containerViewDictionary];
// Add the right constraint against the contentView
[self.contentView addConstraints:constraints];

Again, the above was made possible by Skoota. Thanks!!! Al credits go to him.
