Does the cover activate the on/off wake function of the iPad rMini?On my iPad4, the Otterbox top cover activates the on/off wake function.

The Otterbox cover (pink) for the Mini I pad that I purchased for my daughter does not activate the on/off wake function. Apparently, from what I understand some covers have magnets that activates the function.

Actually, I'm not sure the tablet supports this feature. It is not magnetic, and many devices that support sleep/wake when cover is closed utilize a magnet to activate a switch. I found a setting on this tablet under power management to "Enable TransCover", but I can't tell what it does, because the screen doesn't seem to do anything when I close the cover of this case. But it's not a big deal to me because I have my device set to turn-off the screen after 5 minutes of inactivity anyway, plus, a quick touch of the power switch turns the screen off without shutting down the device. (Another quick touch on the power switch lights up the screen in a second.) So in short, if the MeMO Pad FHD 10 (ME302C) tablet supports this feature, and if mine is working properly, then this case does not support this function.

When you close the case & the ipad is powered on, it will go to sleep. So when you open the case it awakens from sleep mode. To shut off the ipad completely press down on black button on the top right of the device. This also powers it back on.

You will need to change the setting on the iPad, I settings. My doesn't always stay off so I have to make sure the cover is actually closed.

I'm having the same problem with the one I just bought. The auto-shutoff function kicks in when magnets in the case align with sensors on the iPad; I'm wondering if the ones in our cases are misaligned or just too weak to trip the sensor. I found that if I hold the case tight against the iPad and wiggle it around a bit I can get it to trip occasionally. There is a setting under "General" to turn the feature on and off, but it won't even show unless you've successfully tripped the cover sensors at least once.I'd debating whether it's worth exchanging the case for a new one.

Hi Javelin. Yes it does. When you close the flap, it turns the unit off. When you open the flap, it turns the unit on. This case has been an excellent buy!

My iPad works great with my cover on it. I just fold it back behind on the stand, also my cover can easily be taken off. I have used it both ways without a problem. Hope this answers your question.

My case does have a magnet to hold the front cover closed, but it does not turn my ipad on or off. Alice

No the cover does not have any such feature. Maybe there is some wake up app that detects light/face or motion to turn on & off. But I would suspect anything like that is not putting the device in sleep mode and will drain the battery. With this cover, I press the power button to put the unit in sleep mode and close the cover. To use, open the cover, press the power button again and enter my passcode.

The on/off switch on the IPAD is readily accessible after you put the devicewear case on the tablet. Also simply by closing the cover of the case, the IPAD is automatically turned off.

Yes, it has the feature. My case does auto sleep/wake on my iPad2. Bought mine in Aug from Amazon.

The iPad does turn on every time I open the cover, if that is what you mean by an auto on and off feature.

As posted above, the fit is perfect. However, the sleep function does not work. Sadly I'll be returning it until they fix the issue. The quality of the cover is amazing and I can say I was very happy using it on my iPad2.

Unfortunately, no. It has two magnets to keep the cover closed, it does not, however, activate the automatic screen turn off.

No it doesn't. You have to manual still turn your iPad off! By far my favorite case to date.

Sometimes the case puts my iPad mini to sleep, sometimes it doesn't. I just noticed this myself and make sure I use the button just to be on the safe side. It seems when I leave the keyboard ON, in standby mode, is when it doesn't put it to sleep. Maybe I missed that when reading the instructions.
