Is it possible to close the lid with cords plugged in?

Yes. The black parts of the outlet cover are rubber inserts that can be removed to allow wire to pass through a closed cover. You can leave the rubber off or cut them to fit the thickness of your cord and slide it onto the lid for a finished and sealed look.

Yes, that is why the outlet is recessed into the box. the door closes with the plug inserted into the outlet safely with only the cord exiting the cover. the black rubber square inserts seal the cord openings.

Yes, there is a small hole where the wires come out and the lids fits flush. Works great.

When the lid is closed it is held shut by a magnet. To open, slight force is required to overpower the magnet.

They easily break out with a pair of pliers and then the cords fit through with no problem. the cover will close all of the way.

Yes, pull the plug. The alternative would be to have an on/off switch on an extension cord.

Yes you can. Just disconnect the main plug in chord and electric connection

Yes. I'm assuming you're running on Windows here. These instructions are specific to Win 7, but they shouldn't differ much from Win 8. Go to battery options by clicking on the battery icon on the task bar (bottom right corner). Whichever battery 'plan' is selected/active, edit its options. In the options screen, click on advanced. A list of options should appear. Expand the option for close lid action. The default is probably 'sleep'; change it to 'Do nothing'. Save your changes. Now your laptop will still run when you close your laptop. If it's plugged in to a docking station with a monitor, mouse, and keyboard, you will have a regular desktop! Hope that helps.

Yes. When you open the lid the device shuts off. Just remove your hearing devices any time you want.

This may have be something you can control with Power Options in Control Panel. You want what is commonly referred to as "Clamshell Mode". See if there is an option that says "When I Close the Lid"; change to "Do Nothing". I see another user already indicated this.

Yes, when you close the lid, the IPAD turns off. You will need to reenter your password etc.

Yes. But you can only use cords that are thin. Otherwise you will have to take it off.

No. And another thing... i love it... but there is something irritating my workers hate should be fixed/adjusted in newer versions - after you are plugged in you can't get more cord out (without unplugging, walking back to bucket, and pulling out the extra cord you need). The idea (and work around) is to carry the bucket to the farthest point where you will need it. Then you are good. OR, when you get started just unroll all the cord till you are done. Then you are good too. And it is so easy to roll it back up!

I don't think that feature is available with this model. I certainly don't see that happening. The cover stays closed with just a small magnet. I always press the power button.

Just drop the lid down, press down and it auto-snaps shut. You can then also use the key to lock it.

Not really. I agree with others, stick the charger in your bag, or your pocket. On another note, don't try to use this pocket as a lap-desk. The magnet that holds the thing shut is powerful enough to trick your computer into thinking the cover is closed, and may cause the screen to go black. It took me a week to figure that one out.

Its possible. You would need to drill a hole in the cover and use a cord clamp gromet, so the cord cant be pulled or cut.

A solution would be to put an online switch on the HM cord so you wouldn't need to pull the plug each time to shut it down. Another way is to use an extension cord and pull the plug next to your chair.

You can set it to close automatically when powered off or to stay open unless someone pushes the close button
