Does this have a "smart" cover built in? When you open/close the cover will the iPad turn on/off?

No, it doesn't. I didn't think that would bother me, but I find I forget to turn it off sometimes. It's also quite a bit thicker and a little heavier than most iPad covers. My only other gripe is that, for the price, I've only had it for a couple of weeks, and the edges of the front cover are fraying. Granted, I take my iPad everywhere with me, but this is as expensive as a leather cover, and it's definitely not holding up as well. I do think that the stand words well, and I like the way the iPad fastens inside the cover because it's secure but easy to take in and out as needed. I really wish the BBC would release an iPad and iPhone cover.

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

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.

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

No it does not. It has a thin clear layer that covers the screen for protection, but does not have a solid cover that can close and cover the screen which would trigger the sleep/wake function.

Yes, but sometimes it does not consistently shut the IPad off right away. You can always turn it off manually. I haven't had an issue with it.

No. It is an open faced case so you must use your iPad settings or butto n to shut it off.

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.

It does have magnet to secure the latch. But it is not strong enough to turn the ipad on/off

Hi Brianne...the iPad does turn off, but if you move it slightly like to put it in a bag or your purse it may turn back on. The case just does not seem to close properly...several times I have put my iPad in my bag and later found that the battery was dead because it turned back on dur to the case opening. Now I just turn it completely off when I'm not using it...which is frustrating. I really do not recommend this case.

The smart cover attaches to your ipad with magnets along one side and covers the screen only. You can put your whole ipad inside a case.

Yes, it "wakes" the iPad when opened, and puts it to sleep when you close the case.

By auto on and off, do you mean once you close the flap it turns off the iPad (with the click sound) and when you open the flap it turns on? If so then yes!

Just the front which is the important part you want to protect because of the expensive glass. It's a magnetic cover that automatically attached and when you open it, the iPad turns on. When you close the cover, the iPad goes off (sleep). Hope this answers your question.

Yes. When you open or close it, the ipad will respond accordingly by going to sleep or waking up. It doesn't do a full power cycle but I'm sure that's not what you were asking.

When you close the cover on the iPad cover your iPad goes to sleep (to not waste battery) and when you open the cover it wakes up. This is optional. You can go into the settings of your iPad to turn this function off - yes (I also read this portion on a previous review).
