Does the cover turn the iPad on and off as its lid opens and close?

I does! There are magnates in the cover's edge which function much like Apple's Smart Cover.

It CAN shut off but the iPad settings must be set to do that. Settings - Lock/Unlock has to be ON.

Yes, there is a light when you turn the switch on, and it auto turns off if the lid is closed.

I haven't noticed this case draining my battery when closed at all. In fact it actually puts my iPad in automatic sleep mode when I close it.

No it doesn't. You have to manual still turn your iPad off! By far my favorite case to date.

Closing the cover on this puts the iPad to sleep. You don't have to hit the power button to put it to sleep. And opening the cover wakes your iPad up. So with this cover you really never need to use the power button unless you are wanting to shut your iPad down completely.

Yes, it does. I have ipad 2 4th gen. It wakes and sleeps when opening and closing.

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.

Nothing. It doesn't turn off the tablet when you close the case or turn it on when you open the case like apple smart cover does for the ipad

No it doesn't. Here is a reply I received from Belkin support. "The sleep/wake function is a setting on the iPad itself. You have the option to select or specify the time when your iPad will go to sleep when you close the cover."I have the Belkin keyboard case for the iPad 3 and when I close the case, the iPad goes to "sleep". As far as I can tell, this feature is NOT part of the Qode case for the iPad Air.

When the auto lock feature on the iPad is enabled, the iPad will auto lock (basically turn the background light off/on) when the devicewear cover is closed/opened).

Yes, the cover has a magnetic (not visible) closure. If you have not completely turned the power off, the kindle will turn on as you open the cover and will turn off (to sleep mode) when you close it.

Yes, but sometimes it does not consistently shut the IPad off right away. You can always turn it off manually. I haven't had an issue with it.

no, it doesn't turn off when you close the pad. The power button is accessible in top of smart cover.

No the cover does not have any such feature. Maybe there is some wake up app that detects light/face or motion to turn on & off. But I would suspect anything like that is not putting the device in sleep mode and will drain the battery. With this cover, I press the power button to put the unit in sleep mode and close the cover. To use, open the cover, press the power button again and enter my passcode.

Yes. When the cover is closed the tablet screen goes off. When the cover is opened the screen comes on.

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