It says on Amazon that it 'goes to sleep' when the cover is closed, yet some reviewers have said that it does not?

it goes after a while of inactivity, not instantly, but really its an energy saver, no complains on consuming too much battery anyhow..good luck!

Only if the keyboard is removed, otherwise I manually put my iPad to sleep.

No. It doesn't. I spent the additional money and purchased a Logitech Fabric Skin case which I love!!

Depends on what you're saying goes to sleep... The iPad? No, haven't seen that happen just because I've closed the cover. Nor have I seen the keyboard go to sleep either.

Yes it automatically stays shut when you close. Does not come open until you pull it apart. I am very please with this cover

The Kindle goes into sleep mode when the case is closed, however, I've never had an issue with the Kindle being stuck in sleep mode. I see that as a feature since it puts the device in power save.

it's just their way of saying that your kindle goes into a power saving mode when you close the cover. It turns back to normal (usable mode) when the cover is opened.Hope this helps.

No. It remains on/awake when you close the cover. You must activate the sleep mode manually by pressing the button on the side of the Nook.

I didn't find any settings, I believe the case is detected. I just close the case and the kindle goes to sleep and comes on when opened.

It doesn't go to sleep. It recommends removing the batteries when not in use. It doesn't have an on/off switch. I remove the batteries when not in use and it works fine.

I believe it goes on standby. I have not had it closed for weeks on end to see if it spends power being closed. But if it does expend power, I think its very little power. So I think it is very close to turned off when you close the cover. Ive had this product 7 months and Im still very happy with it.

Yes it goes to sleep when closed.. I'm not sure what you mean about keypad backlit? I love this product and I feel my iPad is safe and much easier to use typing instead of hen pecking... Buy it now!!!

Unfortunately no it doesn't. I have to remember to hit the sleep button on the side before closing. For the price though it is very nice anyway, I enjoy it.

My light usually turns off quickly after closing the cover -- this can be seen by laying the Kindle flat and looking in from the bottom edge. However, if I have opened and closed the cover several times in quick succession, the light will stay on a bit longer before turning off. If your light is not turning off at all, then the cover is not doing its job. But it shouldn't be a problem because the Kindle goes to sleep on its own after a short period of time of not being used -- you can check this by leaving the cover open. The benefit of the cover is that it puts the Kindle to sleep immediately rather than waiting for it to go to sleep on its own.

Yes, the screen will go dark when cover shuts. You hear a little click, like a camera shutter. When you open, you simply press the button and it wakes up.

Mine seems to work properly. You can actually see the tablet go to sleep before the cover is completely closed, if you close it slowly.

When you close the cover it goes to sleep mode but is easily awakened so that is good as you are not using Juice..:)

My experience is whenever the laptops cover is closed, regardless of plugged into the Dock Station, it puts the laptop into sleep mode, would be a great feature, however, don't think it functions that way...

Yes, when I close mine my kindle turns off or goes to sleep however you want to look at it. When I open it, my kindle opens to the lock screen.

When the cover is closed the Ipad mini does go to sleep and wakes back up upon opening.
