When you open the case,is the ipad mini supposed to go on? My goes on ever time I open the case. Thank you for all of the wonderful support. I figured that this was a feature of the keyboard. I just did not like the idea of it always going on when I...

Yes it is an instant on case. It puts it to sleep when you close it. To turn it off completely you have to use the off button. I love this feature. Enjoy

I didn't notice this happen, however, the silicon keyboard didn't fit properly on my keys in the first place, so I would not be a good judge of this. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance to you.

The key board stuck on the last letter of a word and continued to make that letter. If I pressed delete, it would stick on delete until everything I wrote was deleted. I took it to the Apple store and they exchanged it even though I had purchased it on Amazon, so I'm back in business. The new key board has been great!

I don't use the keyboard as often as I thought I would but I use the case to protect the iPad. The battery on the keyboard does last a fair amount of time but seems to die when needed most.

Did you charge the keyboard? The connections is easy. I charged the keyboard for a couple of hours the first time, then i turn it on, went to settings, turn on Blutooth, the Ipad began to scan for bluetooth connections, the "Bluetooth Keyboard" appears, type the password and it's ready to work. When you are not using it for a long time, you just have to push down any key for a couple of seconds and it connects automaticly. Good Luck!

Yes, mine hasn't had any issues at all. I flip the switch to turn the keyboard off when not in use and when I flip the switch back on it automatically pairs with my ipad and works the entire time until I flip the switch back off.

I've been using mines for a week now and I had the same problem when I turned mines on. I was under the impression that the blue battery light meant that it was dying too. I think that just means that the keyboard is on when it flashes on. I turned it on and off until my iPad found it. There may be more clear instructions in the owners manual though. Goodluck!

I had to return mine for the same reason. The keyboard worked nice but had to work too hard to get the case open. I was disappointed because I really wanted the keyboard case.

Kaylee,It does not appear to have an effect on either the iPad or case, although I have removed it only a few times. The case/keyboard is not large or heavy enough to require it when not using the keyboard.

I was unable to make my case work, but I did take the keyboard out of the case and used it elsewhere. I am sorry that I can not help you out. If you can return it that is what I would do.

Did you follow the steps exactly? Step by step? Make sure the keyboard is fully charged. I found it very simple to pair. Try it again and let me know if you continue to have problems. I don't want you to get too frustrate because this is a fabulous keyboard case

I just got my case and I agree. I am manually turning off the iPad mini before closing the cover.

I am considering buying this, and I had my iPad Air attached to a friend's folio keyboard last night. As far as I could tell, the sleep function seems to function the way it's supposed to. The only times it didn't work were when I didn't have the 2 'upper' corners of the iPad clipped in to the folio correctly. Once it was clipped in, the iPad screen remained dimmed. I tested this repeatedly, and was looking into the gap between the keyboard and the screen to verify it stayed dark, and that it lit again when I separated the keyboard from the iPad screen.

After I turn my keyboard to "on" on the switch on the side, it will go to sleep after a few minutes of not being in use. However, if you press any key on your keyboard (sometimes 2 or 3 if you happen to be impatient like me) it will turn back on, since it is already paired with my tablet.

I don't think the screen actually touches the keyboard. There is a frame around the keyboard and when you put the iPad into the case, the screen is touching this frame but not the keys themselves.And, no, I haven't noticed any damage of any kind to the screen.

The keyboard becomes a case. It does that tricky magnetic thing against the edge of the iPad and closes like a book. That being said, it is still just a magnet so you have to be careful but so far it has worked great for me.
