Has anyone had issues when bending the cover back for one handed reading that it turns itself off? This seems to be an issue with these smart cases.

Yes, happens all the time with mine. My wife has a Kindle brand case and has had no problems. I think I will switch!

This case will not turn off the Kindle when bent back for one-handed reading. Full stop.If the Kindle senses that you have not turned the page in a while, it will shut off automatically in order to conserve the battery.

No. I have had mine for several months and this has never happened. I read it bent back all the time. The Kindle does turn off if the page has not been changed for a while.

Yes. I've been having problems. At first I thought it was my phone and it was dumb luck that I took the case off and that's when I realized what was happening. My phone signal goes in and out when the cover is on; especially indoors. Outdoors is better, but my signal strength is very low. I just received the case a few days ago and now its practically useless to me. 5/15/14.

Sorry to hear about that . I would return the case to Amazon. I have the same case and auto on/off feature works just fine. When I have my kindle in the easel or standard book position, it doesnt shut down. I think you have a misaligned magnet.

The Paperwhite turns off when you close the cover to conserve battery life. Open the cover to turn it on and swipe to resume reading.

Great question, yes I would say this has happened to me. However it's usually when I don't apply the strap around the cover to keep it secured. Sometimes when i just sit it upright against a wall, it would not auto sleep, but overall it does not seem like an issue. Still it's a great cover for the price, and the quality is good.

I use mine in the case. When the I-pad is open so is the case. My case has a keyboardseparate 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 thecovers were made to leave on.Bonnie

Mine is pretty secure inside both covers.I definitely noticed issue 1 though. I was tearing out my hair wondering what was wrong with the mouse and why it wouldn't switch profiles. :o

Hi Dennis,Yes, we've tested it with the concerns of the sleep/wake function when the front cover is flipped to the back of the case and there are no problems.Thanks.

Have not experienced any issues. I usually don't put front cover of case on I find that I get enough protection in daily use with the back cover only.

Yes, you can bend the cover all the way around, however, after time doing that will wear at the spine. The case is designed to wear like a good used hardcover book.. but over bending may cause wear much sooner. The magnetic feature does control the on/off.Hope that helps

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.

No, Their is a magnet that holds the smart cover closed. My smart cover works just fine but I have that turned off because I prefer to turn off my own Ipad ,thank you anyway Apple.

I just wrap the back around behind it tuck the closing flap back inside the slot and hold it like I would a regular phone, I have been doing this since I got the case and it is showing no signs of wear from bending it back like that. Hope you can get the idea from my description.

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

I have to say I'm not experiencing the same problem. in fact I see my mini blanking out as I close the case. as far as battery life - I can't believe how long my battery lasts - certainly a big improvement from my Ipad. as far as the case turning the mini on and off it could be the way it is sitting in your purse. try putting it in with the opening to the bottom - that way it probably won't open so often. worth a shot. personally I really like this case - it is sturdy.

I purchased this and, once I bent the strap back and forth a little to lessen stiffness, it is magnetic toward the other side of the case cover and holds the case together while it is all the way open and folded back. I do not mean to correct the seller's answer, but mine does this just fine every time.

I think the cover was not designed to be folded all the way to the back. I tried it the first few days after I got it, but it because it is leather I got the impression that if I would do it all the time I would end up messing up the cover ...After a while I realized that I can talk with the cover closed and I can also write comfortably with th cover opened at 180 degrees ... So involuntarily I have eliminated my "need" to folding it all the way back and I don't do it any moreHope this helps
