How does the sleep & wake functionwork, just received my case and doesn't seem to perform this function.

the kindle fire has to be slipped into the case in the correct way in order for the kindle fire to automatically turn itself off and on. Place the kindle in the case, where the actual on/ off switch can be reached through the case. If you can not phycially turn the kindle on and off, while in the case, the kindle is placed in the wrong position. The 2 holes, where you place the charger have to be on top, opposite side of the stylus.

I have this case and it seems to work just fine. Make sure the Kindle Fire HD is inserted in the case properly with the camera facing outward of the notch in the case on the front on the side. The sleep function should then work correctly when the case is opened or closed.

I cannot say for certain, but I believe it is magnetic, that is, the kindle senses the magnetic field of the cover (you will notice that the cover has a "magnetic" clasp). When I open the cover, the kindle screen comes up that requires a swipe to access the passcode entry to unlock the kindle (if you use that feature). If your kindle does not work that way and there is an obvious magnetic clasping feature to your cover then there may actually be an issue with your kindle - I cannot say for sure. You may want to contact amazon directly to resolve that issue. Hope this helps.

When I close the cover the unit goes to a black screen. When I open it back up I have to slide the lock over and the Kindle is back to the home page. If you peek down inside while it is closed it is black. The only complaint I have is that the cover has to be upside down all the time when playing games.

sleep/wake must be manually operated. It is not automatic, if that is your question. We also found, as did others, that for our model, the keyboard cover over the on/off button needed to be carved out because it was slightly off-set (about 1/8 inch) and would turn the machine on accidentally.

It may have been a defect in the case you received. On mine everything works perfectly.

Hello, Of course the light is not AS visible as when not in the case but that hasn't been a problem as I've got notification ringtone so don't need the light. No the case doesn't have anything to do with the functioning of your phone as in sleep/wake.I do love it very much as it surrounds the phone and gives better protection!! Like a wallet in your pocket as apposed to an exposed phone.Thanks for askingDonna

Yes, I have caught one time where when I picked up the case it turned on inside the case, however it has always shut off when I close it. I also have a timer to turn my screen off after a minute or so, which I would think help if it didn't turn off.

I don't think the case itself has a sleep/wake function but the tablet and the keyboard dock does. So when you close the tablet/keyboard together it while it's in the case then yes. But just the tablet with just the top half of the case I'm not sure.

It is advertised as having the wake/sleep function but it doesn't. You can glue a small magnet on the lower lip to make it work. See further discussion and an explanation on how to make it work with the wake/sleep mode. http://www.amazon.com/review/RMXSVQEO8RYI7/ref=cm_cd_pg_pg3?ie=UTF8&asin;=B005Y1CYSQ&cdForum;=Fx10EBJ5CNQW6PH&cdPage;=3&cdThread;=TxEIJBTW355CRI&store;=electronics#wasThisHelpful

I think that is the manufacturers intention but the one I was sent was defective. I have the same case but in a green shade and the sleep/ wake feature works great.

Dear Mozzer, The auto sleep function is engaged if no music has been sent to the Nova for 5 minutes. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance! Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

The Otterbox cover (pink) for the Mini I pad that I purchased for my daughter does not activate the on/off wake function. Apparently, from what I understand some covers have magnets that activates the function.

I don't believe that it does. I closed the case but I can see that it does not go into the sleep mode nor does it turn on "wake on" when I open the case

It is bit strange, I did not experience this anytime. In fact, the problem (well known) is the other way. The screen is oversensitive and responds unnecessarily, too many times for a single touch. That is annoying and widely reported. For your problem, may be you try a) updating the drivers b) setting the power saving scheme to 'high performance' and try to set a longer idle time for going into sleep. Please let us know the results

I never use sleep mode on my PC's I think Windows don't handle it well, I have always had issues with allowing my Pc's going to sleep. So I have never used it on this motherboard or have I heard anyone who has, hope this helps...

I did. See my review. With the Accell cable mentioned in the review, it is working really good here at my place. It is only rarely that I have to switch off and on the monitor but never any other kind of wake up issues that existed before with other cables I tested.

It's your case, why not. I would try and reinstall the case first. If that doesn't work, do it but remember it's not reversible , what you are doing.

When it plays music on the alarm function, is it music only, or the alarm sound as well? (I have one that simultaneously also beeps while it's on wake with music, I do not want one like that ever again.)

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.
