Is it marked down so much because of the trouble people were having with the magnet turning off the Kindle when the front cover is folded back?

Apparently they knew there was a problem, and fixed it. As soon as I complained they sent me a brand-new one. They were very nice and apologetic.

I've owned it now for about a month and have not had any issues with it at all. When I open the cover the Kindle starts and when I close it the Kindle shuts off, exactly as advertised!

I have not had this problem. I like my Bear Motion Premium Slim Case very much and have had it for several months. Marilyn F., Carlsbad, CA

We've found that letting the cover kind of flop closed on it's own aligns it better than we do. As an added measure, when it doesn't sleep, we manually align an outer corner and find that it will sleep then. Hoping after some use it will remember the position we like it in better.

The keyboard is an integral part of what is depicted in the illustration. It separates from the Kindle....I do not know if it shuts off automatically, since we shut it down after each use....One word of caution. When you sync. the keyboard with the Kindle, do it away from your regular computor otherwise it will sync your other device as well as the Kindle...Hope this was helpful....The keyboard works fine.

There is a sticker on the case. It says clearly "do not remove" I really think that the sticker is there to prevent problems like this. The sticker is thick and feels like roughly smooth. It definitely serves a purpose. As for the magnet when closing, I have no problems, but I do have the galaxy s4 not the note 3. I have not had any technical problems with the case. It's filled with cards, this might help prevent that issue. The magnet is strong enough to keep my 7 cards and a good stack of money tightly locked. 5*

I haven't had an issue with it. it will act a a "back" button by default when surfing the web so if you do it that might be annoying but the side buttons are much more likely to get accidental presses

Absolutely! It can fold all the way back just as flat and naturally as it is when folded over the front screen. And there aren't ever any creases that develop since the flap is made to fold in pretty much every direction. And because of the magnets, the flap with actually stay flat on the back even when you're not holding it down and will stay like that until you actually try to fold it back over to the front (You know how with paperbacks, when the pages you had folded back would just flop back to the front the moment you don't hold them back anymore but then they don't actually "close" all the way because now the pages are bent? Yeah, this cover will NOT do that). Hope that helps ^_^ Absolutely! It can fold all the way back just as flat and naturally as it is when folded over the front screen.

Yes it does. That was partially what was wrong with our Kindle. The personnel are very helpful and eager to assist with your problems.

i use my on my kindle fire. reading problems i experienced were regarding limited visibility. it is simply not 100% clear. you have to remember that you are using this outside with lots of sunshine and yes it is natural for visibility to be little off. for me it was not a problem. hope this helps. regards

Good question. Thin magnets keep the cover closed. It also helps in keeping it open and folded back, when the tablet is positioned on a table in landscape position.

probably the magnets in the cover. i have one of these covers that i use with no problems at all and one that sometimes does weird things to the function of my kindle.

Maybe the magnets are out of line. My cover hasn't ever given me any problems. Maybe you can exchange it for another one that works better. Good luck!

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 think so but, the closing latch on the side is not as strong as I would prefer. It often unsnaps. Also some of them have the magnet that turns the Kindle off, this one does not. If I had a choice I would get one that had the magnet

I can't really tell, but it seems like there must be a magnet strip that runs around the cover edge because of the way it shuts.

It seems to stay closed very well. I was surprised to discover, however, that the Kindle, even when shut off, goes on automatically when the cover opens. Mine is new so I don't know, yet, if that requires more frequent charging.

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.

Mine is definitely magnet, it's built into the cover about half way down the long side and helps the cover stay shut. I would say yours might be defective.
