Does this case turn off the iPad when you close it? In other words, is it a smart cover?

Once you close it and put the strap on it it locks it and it goes into sleep mode.

Yes. It locks the ipad when you close it, and turns it back on when you open it.

It doesn't turn off but it does lock the screen so the screen isn't lit up saving you battery life

NO DOES NOT TURN OFF OR ON WHEN YOU CLOSE THE COVER.IT IS NOT A SMART COVER.THIS IS THE FIRST 7" Samsung Glalaxy Tab.The only cover was black wish they had more colors.

Yes, when you close the flap over the screen the IPad shuts off. The reverse holds true - when you take the flap off the iPad it turns on. It stays closed fairly well but if you keep it with other items (like in your purse) the flap can be moved which turns the iPad on.

I am not sure if I understand what you are asking, I think you want to know if the smart cover attaches to this back cover? If so, the answer is no. This cover is separate from the smart cover. The smart cover works with this back cover well, but if you pick it up by JUST the smart cover I feel you would run the risk of dropping your iPad. I think Apple makes a smart case which is a one piece cover that has a back and front connected.

Dear Kim it seems that my first answer to you was in fact wrong they should have a turn off. However neither of mine has worked for some reason, but they are very good covers hence I have two sorry about that,my answer was right as I experienced, but wrong as far as the cover should turn your IPad off

Yes, the cover is magnetic and it will wake up your iPad when opened and put it to sleep when you close the cover. :-)

My case does have a magnet to hold the front cover closed, but it does not turn my ipad on or off. Alice

It has a magnetic closure that turns off the screen when you close it. It stays shut when you close it.

A Smart Cover is a cover that controls the iPad. Whenever u close it, the iPad automatically turns off, when u upon it, it automatically comes on. Hope this helps

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

No it does not. There is room when it is closed for you to turn off your iPad though.

It doesn't encase the iPad. When it is closed, it covers the screen. The back of the iPad is still exposed. Have a look at the Belkin Ultimate if you want something more protective.

no, it does not lock the smart cover in place, the smart cover can be removed at any time.

Yes, closing it does put the iPad to sleep. For the price, I've found it honestly be one of the better iPad covers I've owned.

Not totally sure. It does cause shut off of the Ipad when covers the screen
