The magnetic cover doesn't turn it off on mine. Am I doing something wrong?

The cover is supposed to be magnetic to help keep cover closed...It does not...

Don"t know what to say, Mine is working every time. Are the on switch and plug in to recharge at the openings? Could it be in backwards? I had the wrong size on my first one and that might be a problem. My Fire HD was Previous Generation and I ordered one that was for 1st Generation. Nothing lined up right.

Shutting the cover does not turn off the device. That is based on your settings which were designated by you. It is based on inactivity of device.

I just return to my home screen and shut the cover and have had no problem.

Just got mine for an ipad mini (retina) and the display wakes/sleeps when I close the cover.It does not seem to be the folding tab that does it, but something in the keyboard/cover part itself.I tested with just the keyboard and it did not activate. Then I tried the cover without the keyboard.The magnets in the cover would activate the ipad when it was within a quarter inch of the glass (did not have to actually touch the screen)This is about the thickness of the keyboard so that that's why it works when it is in place.

I had the same problem and still do sometimes. I have to make sure the corners are even to where the magnets touch. The best way to test it is in a dark room or just lay it down and leave it alone. If you touch it the light usually comes on. I just left it alone and peaked in without touching it. The light goes off. I have a concern that if I carry it in my purse it will also come on, but my MoKo cover has the round magnets and from what I have read, the round magets are the ones that do not make good connection. Maybe they will stop mailing out the ones with round batteries and that might solve the problem. I had the same problem and still do sometimes.

The standard ipad magnetic cover will come off easily without removing the back case. The magnetic on/off feature of the cover isn't quite as good with the case though, so you have to be certain it turns off when you shut the cover.

The magnetic closure only works when you close the cover. It does not have magnets on the back of the case so that when you fold it over it doesn't hold the cover to the back of the case. I love my cover. I have several.

Make sure when the magnet attaches to the back that the cord doesn't weigh it down and pull it off. Try getting closer to the outlet and reaching behind with your hand to attach the magnet. Hope that helps.

I had the exact same problem. I don't know why or how the fan cover cannot be removed. I'm guessing I should of emailed the company. Mine ended up breaking and I bought a different brand. Sorry

The cover uses a Powerful "Rare Earth" magnet! I haven't had any problems with keeping it closed!

The magnets in mine made my paperwhite constantly malfunction. No matter how I had the cover it would sporadically turn on and off or get stuck on sleep mode.

I have had this cover on my iPad mini for almost a month and my pink magnetic have not come off. The only time the magnetic have come off is when I removed it.

After you close the case lid, the Nexus still stays on for a few minutes. It is quite cool actually, as you can see the desktop icons glowing through the poly cover.So it has NO magnet.

I'm not sure if you can turn it completely off. Mines doesn't turn off. Just disconnect the faceplate and it should turn off.

I have one. So far it hasn't done that to me. See if you can return or exchange it for something else.

Hasn't so far. Have Had my other Tablet for close to a couple of years now, and the magnetic s on the cover for it, has not bothered it at all! Hope that helps.

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.

Maybe try using a recording function? But other than that I've never had a problem with it being off as long as it is plugged in and the little black button on the base is pressed down.
