Mine always slips off the ipad when my ipad is in my brief case,turns the ipad on and runs down the battery. Any ideas how to fix?

A couple of large rubber bands would be the easiest, not elegant but easy to implement. I use a 10 inch neoprene netbook sleeve for transport when pack in bags, a bit more protection.

I don't have that problem, maybe because I carry it in my hands (which keeps both halves shut) or in a notebook type case that's about the size of the iPad, so there's no chance of both parts really separating. The magnet that keeps both halves together is pretty strong, I don't see it would be easy for the cover to slip by itself, now, opening (and draining the battery) is more likely, specially if you have a lot of room in your briefcase.

I don't put the iPad/keyboard combination "naked" in my briefcase. If it is jostled the magnet isn't strong enough to keep the two pieces together, and I am also worried about the covers getting scratched as well as having the iPad on when it shouldn't be. (When I carried the iPad alone it was always in a leather protective case, to prevent scratches or other damage, particularly to the iPad screen, and to be sure it stayed in sleep mode.) When I purchased the keyboard a few weeks ago I also purchased a CaseCrown faux suede slip case for about $10, which fits the iPad/keyboard combination nicely, keeps them connected and protects both of them.

I have never had a problem with that even when the ipad is in my purse. Is the magnetic part (that connects the keyboard to the ipad when closed) working? When you close it, just make sure the Home key is on the right. Other than that, I'm not sure what the problem might be.

I keep mine in a zipper case and don't have this problem. A case keeps the iPad and keyboard locked in place and prevents it fromoving around so much.

I'd turn off the keyboard (with the small switch on the side) before putting it in the briefcase - it boots up in a couple of seconds.

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.

What generation iPad do you have? You may not have the cover that is compatible with the version pad you have. Also, as the cover ages on occasions it tends to close away from the magnets that control the on/off. I listen for the off click. If I do not hear it I slide cover to line it up with the iPad and hear the click. This does not happen often. Also check settings as others have suggested. I have two pads generation 2 and the latest Air iPad and the cover works well on both.

Try turning the ipad all the way around...it only works when its is in there a certain way.

If you still don't have any luck, I can try to post a video this weekend of how to lock it in. It's really a secure case in that respect. I've dropped my ipad so many times and it remains securely in the case. Let me know if you think a video would help or if you've just moved on entirely :-)

Did you feel and hear it snap and lock into place? If so, it should stay securely. Make sure you align the openings of the case with the iPad so it will lock in place.

I switched out the white case for the black one and I'm having the same problem. The white case worked fine but the black case does not turn off the ipad.

I am experiencing the same thing but, sadly, I have not found a work around other than to restart my iPad and re-sync the keyboard. Thankfully, both happen pretty quickly so I don't see it as that big an inconvenience.

Do you mean put it up vertically and lay it back on the case? yeah, I actually tried both ways: with inside cover and outside cover resting again the table. It won't stay with the outside cover on the table, and the inside cover will hold for a little bit and then it falls. I hit my iPad on the table several times and was afraid of breaking my iPad. It works perfectly when it on the table on the side (horizontally I guess?)

You will need to change the setting on the iPad, I settings. My doesn't always stay off so I have to make sure the cover is actually closed.

What do you mean by slippery? Does the iPad slide out of it or does the case slide out of your hands?

I had the same problem, and then discovered that it depends upon the screen orientation. If the home button on the iPad is on the right side, in Landscape mode, then when you close the case the iPad will go into hibernation mode. If the home button is on the left side, it will not. Hope this helps.

dear lyn: i too had this problem i tried to put cover on but it just kept comming off so i just put a piece of scotch tape over cover and side but not on foam part & it works fine now & when i put another battery in place i will do the same so it wont fall out. works fine still thanks.

Try rotating the IPAD 180 degrees so that the home button is on the right. That might work for you.

If you get a stylus like the Maglus, which is strongly magnetic, it should hold on to the iPad through the case. It will also hold on well to the magnetic spot on the case that puts the iPad to sleep

I'm having the same problem with the one I just bought. The auto-shutoff function kicks in when magnets in the case align with sensors on the iPad; I'm wondering if the ones in our cases are misaligned or just too weak to trip the sensor. I found that if I hold the case tight against the iPad and wiggle it around a bit I can get it to trip occasionally. There is a setting under "General" to turn the feature on and off, but it won't even show unless you've successfully tripped the cover sensors at least once.I'd debating whether it's worth exchanging the case for a new one.

make sure the ipod is snapped all the way in. If it is and it still falls out yes it is defective. Mine has never had that problem
