Is this a smart case? Will the tablet turn on automatically when it is opened

It does NOT turn off when you close the case and that is very disappointing. The keys will touch the opposite side of the case, or the tablet, activating the keys and using battery. Also, the keys DO hit the tablet and I fear it will scar or scratch the surface of the tablet. I'll to buy a protector for the tablet today to prevent this. This should be unnecessary! But, keyboard works great.

in short, No. but if you leave the tablet open and it goes to sleep most buttons on the keyboard will wake it up if you press them.I have to turn off the keyboard when I close the case otherwise the keys get pressed by the tablet and turn it on in the closed/ folded position.hope that answer your Q.

No, it it's not a smart case. The tablet will not turn on/off when you open and close the tablet case. The keyboard works off of Bluetooth.

No, this unit does not turn itself on automatically. The is only one knob that turns the unit on and also controls the volume. It feels sturdy even though small.

Yes, it will auto sleep and wake when you open and close the lid. Works like a charm.

Mine turns on all the time. Not sure what's wrong with your tablet. I would return it and get a new one

It doesn't have auto sleep but it is easy to open the case. I like it but it's bulky when you have money.

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.

It has magnets that keep the cover closed. There are no straps or latches on it. It does not turn your tablet on when opened and I don't know if it turns it off or just allows it to "sleep" when closed. Usually when I close mine, I am finished for the time being. Hope this helps. I love my case and am glad I purchased it. It is a great value for the cost!

The case shuts off the screen when closed and turns it on when it is opened. If you use a password, you will have to enter it when you open the case.

To be honest, I'm too sure. I always make sure to turn off my screen before I close the case up. I know you have to go into you settings and accessories to turn on that feature but I don't think this product triggers auto sleep.

should turn on automatically once tab sticking out from battery case is removed

I would say yes. But this is my first smart phone and smart phone case I really don't have any previous examples to compare it to. To give you an odd example of how sensitive the buttons are; Did you ever see a sesame seed on a table or counter and you pressed your finger on it to pick it up? About that much pressure maybe a little less and the buttons respond.

It should turn on automatically when you plug it into the tablet. It didn't work with my tablet even though the description said it was compatible.

Yes, it "wakes" the iPad when opened, and puts it to sleep when you close the case.

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.

Yes. Closing the case lid will put the tablet into standby(sleep mode). Thanks KC

Yes, turns on when you power up. I have not figured out how to manually turn it on yet.

Hello Kelly, the autosleep function works fine with mine. When I open the case, when the keyboard is attached, my surface turns on. When I close the case, I've never notice if it turns off right away or not but it does work when I open it. Both my husband and I love it and do recommend you buy it for it's professional slim look. Hope this helps!
