Does this case turn the Kindle on and off as it is opened and closed?

No. I have a paper white and have no issue of it turning off. Mine works great

Yes it does! I didn't know this when I bought it - they should really say this in the info as it's a useful plus-point.

So Lisa your Kindle is slipped in tightly in the case, correct? Then you have the Kindle turned on? If your answers are yes then you should have a nice snug fit when you close case. OK now open an your Kindle should wake up. Hope this helps.

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.

No, this is my third case and I love it. It does not turn off automatically. It's handy and great to have for debit cards, etc.

No it is not a smart case. It does not power on/off when the case opens/closes. The case does stay closed.

No it doesn't. You have to manual still turn your iPad off! By far my favorite case to date.

I am not sure if it has a magnet or not but my nexus does turn on and off if I close and open the case.

It stays closed very well. Even being jostled around, like in my backpack on an airplane, case stays closed. I've had mine for a couple of months and no problems and I travel a lot . I think it's an excellent product for the price. Your kindle will fit nice and smug so shouldn't even fall out.

No. However I overcome that problem easily. The case has one narrow and long piece of leather connecting the front to back. On the other side it's two short narrow bits. I insert my kindle with the power button slightly under the long, narrow bit and my fingertip easily fits to just press the button. Also I can plug in the recharge cord without removing the kindle from the cover. Hope I helped:)

When you close the case the kindle goes to sleep. When opening the flap the kindle wakes up.

Yes it does shut off when the cover is closed. I'm very happy wth this case. Fits the iPad very snug and looks great. Highly recommend this case.

I have a Kindle Paperwhite and I've noticed when I close cover the light stays on for a short time and then turns off when the Kindle goes to sleep. If you turn the Kindle with the closed cover to the side, you will be able to see the light go out.

Hi Javelin. Yes it does. When you close the flap, it turns the unit off. When you open the flap, it turns the unit on. This case has been an excellent buy!

My Kindle is unlocked, and it was automatic. When I close the case it goes to sleep, opening it, it turns on.

No it doesn't, you have to turn it off manually, but it's no big deal. The case is so great, it doesn't bother me, I wouldn't let that prevent you from buying it.

No, it does not (at least it does not for mine). That said, I'd still recommend it. I don't mind actually turning it on/off and otherwise the case is fantastic. Seems to get better with wear.

I had to return this case; my understanding was it did not turn off when closed.
