Magnet Has anyone had trouble with the ipad going into sleep mode when you fold the cover "behind" the ipad to read or surf, for example?

Hi. The Belkin Cinema Leather Folio Case has the Auto Wake magnet feature where in you can shut on/off the iPad when opened/closed. From the Home screen tap 'Settings'. This should automatically open up in the "General" options, but if not simply tap "General" in the left hand side options, navigate in the 4th block of General options, then you will see "iPad Cover Lock/Unlock" option. If this is set to "Off" it means that the Sleep / Wake function has been disabled. Simple slide this across into the "On" position to activate. Press the Home button to return. If you need further assistance, email us at BelkinCares@belkin.com.

First off, yes it does but the Kindle will time-out and go back to sleep if it was accidentally awoken from movement of the top of the case. What I did was get some of the adhesive vel-cro from WalMart or a similar store (should be in either the hardware section or the arts and crafts) and place a small strip in between the magnets, making sure not to cover them, or the vel-cro being too think so the magnets are unable to put the Kindle to sleep. Hope this helps, happy reading!

I just bought this case in black and it does turn off the IPAD when closed. There may be some different productions of this case. But I have noticed that the magnets do in fact turn off the IPAD as it is suppose to do.

it's a design flaw the magnet is in the MIDDLE section of the cover and so switches it off when you fold it back and it contacts the BACK of the kindle. (this should only happen when it is closed and touches the front of the kindle) . Mine cover does it too and I'm sending it back. I do not know if they have fixed this issue maybe a weaker magnet or having it placed in another section would fix the issue (but that would involve a redesign).

I didn't use that case very long. For some reason it caused my phone to turn off. I don't know if it was the magnet in the cover or what. I switched to another case and had no problem. II gave it another try and it happened again so I discarded it.

Here's the problem. I was browsing the official Apple support forums and someone figured out it was a polarity problem. Simply put, iPad 3 is polarity-sensitive while the iPad 2 isn't. Here's the site explaning it. I did not write this up.http://markshangout.com/blog/2012/3/17/ipad-3-smart-cover-sleepwake-feature-not-working.html

Mark, I can conform that the magnets do not work for the sleep/wake function. I tested this out and found it didn't work. That's really the only gripe I have about it right now. The case does stay closed though. Other than that I really like it.

The flap is magnetic and puts the iPad "to sleep" when you lay it over the screen - much like pressing the sleep button on the top of the iPad. I don't think you can disable it, but if you're closing the flap you couldn't see the screen anyways so it's probably best to turn it off. The screen "wakes up" as soon as you lift the flap, but you will have to unlock it with your pin if you enabled that feature. Hope this helps!

I've had the FLOTE M2 for about a month, and we use it every night. We have seen on effects from the magnet at all. Now if the iPad had a traditional hard drive, I might be concerned.

I bought this case for my step-son as a Christmas gift. When the flap is closed your ipad automatically goes to sleep so the power will "drain" very, very slowly if at all. I haven't heard any complaints from him as yet.

I use mine in the case. When the I-pad is open so is the case. My case has a keyboard separate from the I-pad, and when I want to use the keyboard I just turn it on. When I just want to read, I fold the keyboard back out of the way behind the pad. I believe the covers were made to leave on. Bonnie

The magnet is strong enough to turn the iPad on and off. It's also strong enough to hold it shut when your hand is holding the iPad upside down by the spine. Random things get attached to the iPad cover because of the magnet. However, if the iPad cover slips and the edge of the iPad is exposed, then the magnet will no longer hold the cover shut.

It has a magnet, but unfortunately it doesn't automatically makes my tablet go into sleep mode. I have to do it myself before closing it. But in all, it's a pretty good case.

Hello Nick and thank you for your interest in our product unfortunately this specific unit does not allow access to the sleep button while the IPad is in the enclosure. I do apologize for any inconvenience and as always do feel free to contact me for further assistance. Thanks again Andrea

No. FYI, I am not using mine because it kept constant pressure on the sleep/on button making the iPad unusable.

Closing the cover does put it to sleep. This thing is nice but I had to cut a larger hole for the speaker. The hole for the earphones is not perfectly lined up, and the gap for the Lightning plug is not perfect either as it puts a bit of pressure against the plug (based on the iPad 4).
