Does this really put the iPad mini to sleep? I don't see any magnetic area around the mini. There's no option in mini for enabling magnetic sleep.

Yes, the Besdata cover does put the iPad mini to sleep. I have this cover and the original Apple cover (which I couldn't return or I would have) and they both work the same way. I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't be satisfied with the Besdata if this kind of cover is what you're looking for.

Well, I think it puts it to sleep. I have to log back on when I open the cover......this is my choice.

Yes, the front cover is magnetic, making it "smart". Once it touches the screen it sleeps and opening it wakes up the Mini.

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.

Yes it will put it into sleep mode when shut. When opened it goes to the log on screen. I don't believe that any covers actually turn it "off" as in power gone. Love this cover though and 3 family members have also gotten one after seeing mine either for their. Mini or IPad. Hope that helps.

No, it is a friction fit. There is no magnetic strip to put the ipad to sleep

Yes perfectly with my niece's Ipad mini. The sleep function does not work tho.

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

Yes, closing it does put the iPad to sleep. For the price, I've found it honestly be one of the better iPad covers I've owned.

No it doesn't. The magnet is towards the screen. It will not put the phone to sleep regardless. But beware even the authentic covers magnet does NOT attract to the phones. The flap needs to adjust to the screen and will hopefully eventually close. However I took my case off. They stain easily and they are annoying when you want to change the case and you don't have the original back.

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

If you get a stylus like the Maglus, which is strongly magnetic, it should hold on to the iPad through the case. It will also hold on well to the magnetic spot on the case that puts the iPad to sleep

I gave this speaker dock as a gift so I can't speak from experience, but I don't think you would want to use the magnetic cover (if you have an iPad 2) since it would put the device to sleep.

I unfortunately have the same problem. I ran a magnet over the entire case and there is not a magnet in the case anywhere (that's what is needed to put the iPad into sleep mode when closed). You could always send it back as it is defective.

Correct. When the keyboard is in place, the magnetized part of the folio cover cannot physically contact the iPad so the iPad is not put to sleep. When the keyboard is removed, then the magnetized section of the folio cover can touch the iPad, and the iPad's sleep function works. This is a normal function for the folio cover; it is not a defect.

Yes I have the first iPad mini! It fits snug hard casing! Yes whenever I open the case it wakes up and sleep upon closing!!

It is advertised as having the wake/sleep function but it doesn't. You can glue a small magnet on the lower lip to make it work. See further discussion and an explanation on how to make it work with the wake/sleep mode. http://www.amazon.com/review/RMXSVQEO8RYI7/ref=cm_cd_pg_pg3?ie=UTF8&asin;=B005Y1CYSQ&cdForum;=Fx10EBJ5CNQW6PH&cdPage;=3&cdThread;=TxEIJBTW355CRI&store;=electronics#wasThisHelpful

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.

I'm using it on a iPad mini. It doesn't fit exactly, but the magnet is supposed to hold it in place. It does if you hold the computer still while you're listening, but it doesn't hold on when moving the computer around. The sound is definitely louder though with it than without.
