does it really auto sleep because other ones advertised on Amazon say they do and reviews say they do not

No at first glance. Then it turns out this cover is effectively backwards compared to most of them and turning the Kindle around 180 degrees fixed the problem. But for all intents and purposes, this is a Kindle case for the left-handed.

I sleep on it every night. ALTHOUGH THE MANUFACTURER says not to. I fall asleep with it on and it shuts itself off. You will not feel any discomfort from it.

mine doesn't shut off. probably a flaw. i just turn off when i get out of bed. have had at least 3 of this brand previously and they all had auto shutoff.....i believe it was 8 to 10 hours

I have not seen it with an auto off feature as of yet. I have had it on for hours and it has yet to shut off on it own. However, I have EXTREMELY cold feet in the winter and this has been the absolutely best thing I could have ever gotten! Wish I had this 10 yes ago!!

It doesn't go to sleep when it is mounted and not in use, but yes, when you unmount it does goe to sleep.

I have no clue if it goes to sleep; my guess is it does not as it has an on - off switch. Keys are NOT backlit.

No. It seems to work pretty well. On Low it's relatively quiet. I don't have a hard time getting to sleep when it's on. I like it for my dog allergies.

It actually does pretty well. If you lie real still it may read that as asleep time. I'm happy with the way the sleep function works overall.

It does go to sleep after a period of no audio being sent, which is great, because it keeps the battery from dying. To wake it back up, you need to turn it off, then on.

sleep/wake must be manually operated. It is not automatic, if that is your question. We also found, as did others, that for our model, the keyboard cover over the on/off button needed to be carved out because it was slightly off-set (about 1/8 inch) and would turn the machine on accidentally.

It is suppose to shut off after a period of time of inactivity. I think it was after a couple of hours. I usually use it for about an hour and it has not shutdown during that period. As to the question of a "sleep mode" i don't think so.

Hi Cathlyn,No it does not have an auto off. That's about the only thing I was dissappointed with. I just make sure I turn it off every morning. I would still by another one in a minute if this one stopped working or when it wears out someday. I'm very happy with the way it works. Jeff

Yes, it has the feature. My case does auto sleep/wake on my iPad2. Bought mine in Aug from Amazon.

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.

It does not have an auto shut off as far as I know. I have left it on for more than an hour and it has not shut off.

Yes it does auto shut off in about 6 to 8 minutes. Very accurate would buy again!
