can it turn the ipad display off?

Yes. The latest version does. It includes a Sleep/Awake Magnet, as listed on the packaging.

Yes, but I do not like to set the ipad display to off via a cover because sometimes it stops the device from downloading, etc. pressing the home button to turn on the display is not that hard.

There is at least one reviewer on Amazon for this product that says the recently shipped ones do you have the magnet to turn on and off the iPad Air. To be honest I've had Targus slim cases before for other iPads and although they didn't have that function it was easy enough to press the off button

There is a button to turn the display on and off... If you can actually get a display that works properly.

No. It takes a min before it shuts off. Or you must manually do it. I have the iPad 2.

Yes iPad 2 and later have the magnetic shutoff. I think you can disable it but I'm not certain.

Not on mine version which looks like the picture to the left. There is a button one pushes to turn it off.

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.

Closing the cover will deactivatethe screen momentarily but will not completely turn off your tablet if it is on. You can only accomplish this with the tablet on-off switch.

Yes you can turn it off. You have to do it in the settings. I think you can do it for 1, 2 or 5 minutes.

Yes--but it's not a total power off, it's more like a sleep function on your computer. You do have to turn it on in your iPad settings--it's called a cover lock/unlock.

No it does not. There is room when it is closed for you to turn off your iPad though.

Mr. Sanchez, You can turn off the screen. Use the menu/backlight key. Press and hold for 3 seconds to turn it off and press and hold for 3 seconds to turn it back on. Top of page 4 in the instructions. Good luck.

You can totally turn off the display on the 2E. There are three brightness settings plus off. I keep mine off. Turn it on when I need to see, then off when I am done.

Jennifer, indeed it does turn the iPad off & keeps it off until you open it again. I generally don't even take it off anymore - the more I use, the more I like.

Yes it can be turned off. Note the yellow icon on the lower right hand corner of the screen. Touch it lightly and it will turn black. The touchscreen is now turned off. Touch it again and it will turn back to yellow, and the touchscreen is then turned back on. I carry mine turned off. You can access the settings via the Menu button or via the Function button. You don't need the touchscreen to operate the camera nor to use the settings.

That is not a question - It is a fact. You have to manually turn off the iPad. The 360 is a good idea, but the execution is poor.

You can turn off the display but still have the device record. It is actually what I like to do as I find the live video feed as a distraction while driving.
