I just recieved my case yesterday and found out that it doesn't turn the ipad off when I flip it closed, doesn't it have to do this?

No. That is a feature of "smart covers". This is not one. Your iPad will turn of on its own or just remember to turn it off. You get used to it.

No, it's not a "smart case." You have turn it on & off yourself. I own this case & love it, it doesn't bother me that it's not a "smart case."

Hi there. I don't think it has to do this. I never shut my ipad completely down. I just hit the sleep key on the top right to make the screen dark. Hope that helps.

Yes when you close the cover the ipad goes off as if you pressed the lock button and the screen turns right back on when you open the cover

Hmmmm.. I'm not sure why that is happening. Sounds like an issue with the iPad and not the case. The materials do not make contact with the power buttons. I hope it gets fixed.

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

What generation iPad do you have? You may not have the cover that is compatible with the version pad you have. Also, as the cover ages on occasions it tends to close away from the magnets that control the on/off. I listen for the off click. If I do not hear it I slide cover to line it up with the iPad and hear the click. This does not happen often. Also check settings as others have suggested. I have two pads generation 2 and the latest Air iPad and the cover works well on both.

I personally have never experienced this problem. My iPad goes to "sleep" every time the cover is closed with this companion case on. I've really enjoyed this case and have not experienced any difficulty while using it.

The case I bought works. It is not perfect but I would say that it works most of the time. You just need to make sure the strap is on and holding the folds together. If I am worried about it I just look down the top of the case and see if its on or not. If it is on I just hit the sleep button on top of the ipad.

Yes it does shut off when the cover is closed. I'm very happy wth this case. Fits the iPad very snug and looks great. Highly recommend this case.

Todd, I was reading some of the "newest first" reviews and it looks like the magnet that puts the iPad to sleep does not work with this case. Are you able to confirm that? I'm expecting my new iPad to be delivered on Monday the 20th and I'm still trying to make a decision on some of the cases available.

Dear Kim it seems that my first answer to you was in fact wrong they should have a turn off. However neither of mine has worked for some reason, but they are very good covers hence I have two sorry about that,my answer was right as I experienced, but wrong as far as the cover should turn your IPad off

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.

I had the same problem, and then discovered that it depends upon the screen orientation. If the home button on the iPad is on the right side, in Landscape mode, then when you close the case the iPad will go into hibernation mode. If the home button is on the left side, it will not. Hope this helps.

No, it does not (at least it does not for mine). That said, I'd still recommend it. I don't mind actually turning it on/off and otherwise the case is fantastic. Seems to get better with wear.

Yes it does. When you close the case, your iPad will go to "sleep" and when you open the case your iPad will "wake up".

I switched out the white case for the black one and I'm having the same problem. The white case worked fine but the black case does not turn off the ipad.

This is a Smart Cover, so by default, your iPad should sleep when the cover closes and wake when it opens. You can turn off this Smart Cover feature so that the power button handles sleep/wake again. In the Settings app, go to General, scroll down and flip the "Lock/Unlock" switch. I found this YouTube video that shows how: http://youtu.be/RnD8GOzrAM0

There is a magnet, but because of the ability to rotate and the flexibility of the spine of the case, sometimes the magnet doesn't align perfectly with the magnets on the iPad. Make sure that it lines up and use the elastic to hold it closed and it works fine. As one commenter said, look at the top after it's closed and check that the light is out. This is a great case.
