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 opened the case. Thanks to J. William Rodgers I learned there was a setting to turn this feature off. See that answer if you are interested.

When you close the case & the ipad is powered on, it will go to sleep. So when you open the case it awakens from sleep mode. To shut off the ipad completely press down on black button on the top right of the device. This also powers it back on.

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

The case has a magnet built into it so it tells the ipad to wake up when opened or to go to sleep when closed.

Yes. When you shut the case it automatically puts your ipad mini in "sleep" mode and when you open the case it comes on. This saves your battery.

Good question! I never leave mine on when finished so I have always had to turn mine on when opening back up.>

Yes, mine does as well even with the Bluetooth on the keyboard turned off. Since the BlueTooth is disabled on the keyboard and the iPad still starts up, although briefly, I think this is an iPad behavior issue. Googling the issue, I found that there is a setting on the iPad to enable/disable this behavior. On the iPad, go to Settings | General | iPad Cover Lock / Unlock. I like this behavior, so I have mine set to ON.FYI: I Googled QQ Tech (keyboard case manufacturer) and found a site with very little information. Support seems to be via email.

There isnt a wake/sleep function on the key board neither is there any mention in the user guide (a single sheet of paper). There is however an on and off switch. I would imagine there is a sleep function as if you stop typing for several minutes when you resume the first two or three letter will not show up but tapping any key and wait a second or two it will work fine. Whats bugging me with this case is that the lens opening at the back of the case is not large enoughand each time I get ready to take a photo the lens is partially covered by the case; this requires a push off the tablet to reposition the opening.

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.

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.

um, im not very good with tech stuff, but when i got the case with the keyboard i turned it on. i clicked the button at the end of the right side of the very top row <...> i have no idea what it is, but i think its the wifi button. idk i always mess with it. the most important part is to go to ipad settings and go to bluetooth. i turn it off and then back on. it should search for devices. and if found it should say bluetooth wireless keyboard. then click connect, and it should tell you to imput some numbers.

Yes I have the first iPad mini! It fits snug hard casing! Yes whenever I open the case it wakes up and sleep upon closing!!

im not sure what your setting on the bluetooh are but once the ipad and the keybaord are conneted it desnt need to be reconnected. when the ipad goes to sleep so does the keyboard when you wake the ipad you should just have to tap any key and the keyboard will also wake up just takes a sec or two. no need to turn the keyboard off each time. hope this helps.

I find that I have to move the keyboard for a good viewing angle. I frequently move the keyboard beyond the case.....Actually I stopped using it because it scratched my ipad but when I did use it I had to move the keyboard every time.

We purchased our mini about six months ago, so I am not sure which one I have. I just know that I love my keyboard. I tried using an app on my iPad to navigate the mini, but it just didn't work for me.

The on/off switch on the IPAD is readily accessible after you put the devicewear case on the tablet. Also simply by closing the cover of the case, the IPAD is automatically turned off.

You can not remove the keyboard from the case. As light as it is though, it's not too bulky when flipping the keyboard back to just use the ipad mini by itself.

My purchase was for the Apple Mini IPad and it fit perfectly. The keyboard comes with a charger cord that you connect to your computer. It too has an On/Off switch. It also works just fine. Directions come with the item. I hope this answers your question.

Not sure I understand your question. Anyway this is only a flat keyboard case that can be used with your iPad mini, (iPad is set into the keyboard, it does NOT cover the entire iPad). Yes your iPad can be paired with the keyboard. Your device-iPad, can be paired with several devices, and although not a technology expert do think it will only paired with one device at a time. If you are looking for only a keyboard this is fine, however if you are looking for a protective case for your iPad,(completely covered) this will not work. Hope this info. help.

Hi Brianne...the iPad does turn off, but if you move it slightly like to put it in a bag or your purse it may turn back on. The case just does not seem to close properly...several times I have put my iPad in my bag and later found that the battery was dead because it turned back on dur to the case opening. Now I just turn it completely off when I'm not using it...which is frustrating. I really do not recommend this case.

I don't understand the question aspect of this.... I bought this case and sometimes ita turns the screen off and sometimes it doesn't, its temperamental. But if you you found a better one then great.... I don't know if that answered your question....

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.

Did you turn your blue tooth on the iPad? When you do, leave it up and then turn the keyboard on at the top right hand corner. You should see a blue light come on for a second on the top right. After that press the button at the top of the keyboard where the wifi emblem is watch to see if the keyboard name shows on the IPad. Then choose the keyboard name it should take a second but it should show up connected. If it doesn't try pushing that button at the top of the keyboard again. I has to figure out to turn the keyboard on when it didn't work for me:) unless there's something wrong it should work. Did you turn your blue tooth on the iPad?
